Enjoying the kids before they grow up!!

Mason and Ian love their sister more than you know.....

Kaitlyn is getting to be active and aware of things around her.


Kaitlyn is still sleeping like a baby. She is the best baby.

Little feet! We thank Heavenly Father for sending this special spirit. She has changed our lives.

Can you match the feet with the kid?

Kaitlyn's 1st Photo Shoot

The minute I had Kaitlyn I wanted Erin Fonnesbeck to photograph her. Erin is a great friend of mine and has really developed some amazing photography talents. I appreciate her so much taking the time to come and get some photos that we will cherish forever. This picture really says it all. We just stare at Kaitlyn. In the middle of the night when I should be sleeping I just hold her a little longer and try to take it all in. I know these days will go by so quickly. I want to remember how soft her hair feels, every smell after lotion and bath time, every soft touch, and every funny face made during nap time. If I could only find her pause button...I would push it until I was ready for her to grow a little more. I never knew I would love a little girl as much as I do. We all love Kaitlyn so much and are so grateful that she is here.

The Princess has ARRIVED!!!

We now have the DIVA in the house. A PINK bomb went off in our house. From going to all boy things to all pink has been an adjustment. We love every second of it. Mason and Ian love having the new baby sister. We are seeing a side of the boys that we haven't seen before. We will see how long it will last.

Life is GOOD!!!

Kaitlyn is home and doing well. She has a little Jaundice , but doing great. Ian is proud to be the big brother. He loves to feed her french fries!!!
Mason is a new boy, very happy to have a sister.
Kaitlyn has a new tanning bed. She is already very high maintenance. Kaitlyn has a litle Jaundice .
She has been pricked so many times, they are running out of space on her heels.

Kaitlyn and Kasi. Sleeping with her mouth wide open like her dad!!

Kaitlyn is 1 day old!!!

Kasi and Kaitlyn are still in the hospital. Kaitlyn was in the NICU, intensive care until around 3:00 pm today. Dr. Thompson wanted to keep her another day to make sure things were going well. Her blood sugar is where it should be and we expect to go home on Friday. Kasi is doing well and looks like a million bucks as always. Kasi is like a work horse, takes the pain like she has a hang nail. I have tried to sneak her medication while she wasn't looking, but the nurses know me by now.

Kaitlyn is one healthy baby!!!

Mason and Ian are the best big brothers. They want to hold her and touch her. They are still in shock that we have a new baby sister.

The NEW Miller Family

Kaitlyn decided to wake up and see what the party was all about.

Kaitlyn's Boyfriend decided to come visit her. This is Max Larkin. We are getting pictures really early for their wedding video. Kaitlyn looks like she took all of the milk in the nursery.

Dr. Brad Thompson is the best doctor in the world.

Dad and Kaitlyn taking a little rest after a long day. Oh, I forgot Kasi delivered the baby. The one thing I have been waiting for my entire life..... holding my little girl!!!! Do I have to share with Kaitlyn's mom & her brothers ???

It's a GIRL!!!!

Kaitlyn Kennedy Miller

Kasi delivered our new baby GIRL!!!!!!!
8 lbs 2 oz
20 inches

Born: July 9, 2008 @ 5:54 P.M.


The day started at around 5AM, going to the hospital and Kasi getting induced a few days early. We had a good day, making progress, and then Kasi pushed 3 times and the head was out. As soon as the head was out, panic!!!! the cord was wrapped twice around the baby's neck and what ever Dr. Thompson said as he saw the double cord, got a team of 10 in the room and ready to get that baby out. He cut the cord before the baby's body made it out. It was pretty intense for a while. Dr. Thompson stayed calm while Kasi and I stressed out beyond belief. They rushed the baby over to the team to start working on her and they kept counting and hearing no cry made us very uneasy. Kasi did an incredible job with the delivery. The baby is still in the New born Intensive Care. They are watching over her and making sure things are going well. Dr. Thompson feels like things are going to be just fine. We really don't know what to do with a girl. The boys are so excited to have a new baby sister. Ian's first words were, "I won, I knew it was a girl the whole time." We haven't really got to spend a lot of time with the baby, but we are excited to bring her home to all boy clothes and boy toys. What a great day we had. Please help us with a name for our new baby girl. I will keep you posted on the events of our new addition to the Miller Family.

The baby is coming today!!

Kasi is in the hospital as you are reading this!! We will keep you posted!!!

No BABY yet!!!!!

We still have no baby!!!! We thought it would be last Wednesday, but everything stopped!!!! I take her on bumpy rides, make her ride the horse and even mop the floor, but still nothing happens. Kasi is ready to have this baby OUT!!!!!!
We will see about this coming Monday!! I will keep you posted.

SHIFT4 FAMILY PICNIC

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Shift4 Family Picnic in Las Vegas. My boys were thrilled when they saw the face painting tent. I tried to get them to do something small on their arms, but they refused.... they still look cute to me!!!

A DAY ON THE FARM

The boys have had the greatest time on the Staheli Farm. They have a kids camp for the summer. They have feed the baby lambs, played with the pig called "Bacon", and they caught some frogs. They have also learned about veggies and where they come from. They even ate zucchini and squash last night (that is huge). My boys are in little boy heaven.

Wild Roots Blog

STUPID DAMN CAT!!!

When Kenny turned 33 we borrowed our neighbors "hairless" cat to play a joke on our families. I told them that I had bought the cat as a gift for Kenny. You can imagine their excitement... They thought I had gone mad. The other day the cat was outside and I heard Ian say something that sadly did not suprise me. He said - there goes that stupid damn cat. It was all I could do not to laugh my guts out. Ian is a small version of Kenny and he makes me laugh every single day.

My baby Ian

This is my baby Ian. This is the boy that every morning crawls up on my lap and says "mom, I love you". It melts my heart every single time. He is so sweet and loving, but don't tick him off - just ask his brother. He'll fight you to the death! Ian is so excited for this baby to come. He has already told me that he will help me get the diapers and feed the baby. I know that will last just two days, but I'll take it. On Memorial Day we all went fishing with Grandma Cleo. I am so glad that she is healthy and strong and that she can still teach my boys how to fish, pick sweet peas, pull weeds, and smash snails. She is one of a kind. Ian is a great boy and I am so proud of him.

Babe Ruth Jr.

Mason was drafted by the Boston Red Sox tonight. He played his last baseball game today. The best days are watching Mason play baseball with all of his neighborhood buddies.

Mason is going on to 2nd Grade!!!!!!

Today was Mason's last day of 1st Grade.. He had Mrs. Haun. She was the best teacher. She will probably retire after teaching Mason. We had to supplement her income to take Mason into her class. haha. Mason is 7 going on 17. Mason is a great kid.

My Favorite Boys

I feel like I am in such a rush to take every image possible of my boys. Once this baby is here they will magically be so much older. We are all so excited for this baby to come. Ian asks me everyday if I am pregnant, and if it is summer time yet. He wants to help me hold the baby and get diapers for his baby sister. Yes, a sister... he has told me from day one that we are having a girl. We really do not know yet what we are having, but if you ask him it is a girl. Mason is excited too. When I am laying down on the sofa he likes to feel the baby move. He will be a great brother and hopefully he will lend a helping hand between playing baseball and riding his skateboard. Right his only dream is to wake up and be 17 years old. When I think my boys are getting to big I put my hands on their heads and press down, they both know that means to stop growing...so far it has not helped. I love my family and am so grateful for them. They mean everything to me.
