Three Months

Three months old and Cole continues to get cuter and cuter!  I swear if he is not sleeping...he is smiling!    So far he is such a laid back happy little guy.  He's had a few great nights of sleeping 9:00pm - 5:00am (and of course on the weekends when his dad graciously volunteers to get up with him throughout the night) but this week is back to waking at 11:45, 3:30 and by 6:00.  I am exhausted but it does seem a little easier this time as I know it will end...someday right?

July and August in Fast Forward


This summer has flown by.  What have the Millers been up to...

We have spent a lot of time enjoying and relaxing in our backyard.

Tate has enjoyed swim lessons at Agnew Aquatics with his great teacher Scott.

Tate participated in a Skyhawks Summer Camp with his buddies Kendall and Jackson.  Their mom's and I believe their favorite part was taking a water break every 5 minutes.



Tate has spent a lot of time in our new awesome sandbox.

Tate helped out at Cole's two month check-up. 

We've spent many fun days at the Snoqualmie Ridge TPC pool.
We took a tour of the Snoqualmie police station with the Snoqualmie Valley Mom's Group.  Tate and his buddy Sophie got to ride in "the cage".


We visited and rode Thomas when he was in town for "A Day our with Thomas".

We've spent A LOT of time at our great neighborhood parks.  Here is Tate with his preschool buddy Ryan.  These two get wild together!

Tate has spent a lot of time pestering his baby brother.


Todd ran in the Warrior Dash.  We came to watch and it looked like a lot of fun.

I left the boys at home and flew to Salt Lake City to attend her cousin Mariel's wedding.  Can you believe there was a steamroller parked next door to my aunts house!  I couldn't resist the opportunity to have my picture taken on it and text it back to the boys.  Todd said Tate was speechless when he saw this.  We're still obsessed with construction vehicles.
We practiced riding bikes, although, he's still not in love with the activity.

We visited the Green Lake wading pool with friends.  Although, making the trip with both boys was a lot of work, once was enough this summer for mommy. :)

Tate attended a week long "Terrific Train Camp".  His favorite part - Miss Lexie (teacher helper who happens to be his preschool teacher Mrs. Sandy's daughter).  Our conversations after pick up have gone like this - Me, "how was camp", Tate: "Miss Lexie was there".  Me: "What did you do", Tate: "Miss Lexie rode the tire swing with me".  Well at least he had a great time.

We had lots of family cheers

Mommy drank lots of these.

And someone got a really great tan!

Lake Chelan


The last week in July we headed to Lake Chelan for our first week-long family four vacation.  We did it all.  We swam in the pool, the lake, played putt putt, spent lots of time at parks and beaches, grilled out and wine tasted (quickest wine tasting in history since we had the kids with us).

Our favorite Chelan winery - Nefarious Cellars
Great way to spend the afternoon...thankfully Nefarious has a swing set and a cute golden retriever  which bought us a little extra time with Tate.
This cute little bug smiling away in his swing - we were so glad we brought it - he just loves chilling in his swing.
Pool Time!
Just floating...
Cannonball!!!

Can it get any better?
This is us...Tate can't stop pestering his brother for 30 seconds for a photo.

Yep, that's Cole...in a suit case crib. :)
