I really have no excuse as to why I haven't done a post in forever... You know how you do a few fun things, and then get overwhelmed, and just don't post. Then that cycles on for a long time till you end up making some attempt to show that you have actually been doing stuff the last few months?
This is all the way back in the end of Sep. Mill and one of her best buddies (our back yard neighbor) swimming. I just love how she grabbed his goggles and wanted to wear them the whole day.
My Sis. Kelly and cuteie Ollie came out in beg. of October. We had a great time, and after a couple days of getting used to each other the kidd-o's really liked each other alot!
K. and I made these doughnuts from BHG (October) magazine. Easy, and YUMMY!
Trip to the pumpkin patch!
My friend from H.S., Bonnie, lives in TN. too so she came for a short visit. I kinda think her girl and my girl look a little alike
Mill's thing for October was making cookies, or making cakes. Every morning right when she's get up "Mom? make a cake?"
Just a cute little childrens garden area
After several times of "just missing" wicked we finally got to go. It came to memphis and was GREAT!
Josh went to Florida for a "conference" but apparently had enough free time to get a surf lesson from his friend/classmate John.
Millie has a thing for "Bicycle Helmut's". Don't really know how that got started. She doesn't have a helmut though, so she'll get her little plastic shopping basket (that came with plastic food in it) and put it on her head for a helmut! Love it!
I really missed fall after 3 years of lame memphis falls so I took a trip to utah for a few days. One day I went with some of the Girls I used to coach on a fav. run in the provo canyon. So pretty!
While in UT. we celebrated Mill's birthday with my family- this is a bad photo of a sheep cake (from family fun mag. )
We of course had to take our annual "Fall Sisters Trip to Gardner Village"
Mill's birthday present. She was/is obsessed with slides/climbing so we splurged and got her one of these.
Bad photo: Mill's birthday with giant cup cake cake (again) and some mini cup cake pops. 
This past year has been a bad year for running, but I decided to run the Race for the cure anyways... My grandma passed away this last year and she'd had breast cancer so it was fun to support the cause and do it in memory of her. there were 19,700 runners- somehow I came in 4th female. Same as last year. 
Our halloween costume, Mill was a little harvest fairy, she had a orange tutu that you can't see very well, but she looked adorable- oh, and my new hair cut. Lindsey cut it while I was in provo. took off about 7 in!!!
At the zoo- mill really likes the animals, but equally loves being able to run all over and be crazy.
Southern college of Optometry 5k- we both ran :)
We got this new and it's been super fun because then when one of us is running, the other one can pack up millie and bike along. She likes it ALOT better than the running stroller!
It's getting cold outside so we get bored... but she loves this "crazy hair" now
Our Thanksgiving meal. We had it at our house, had one of Josh's classmates over. It was such a great thanksgiving! it was our firs one "alone" and it was SO fun to be able to plan our own dishes, and have a good time making them all! we had some good stuff- but the pulling the neck out of the turkey experience was not so great.
again, getting cold outside, we get bored and creative. Millie's Cinderella doll started swimming in my glass of water. Then all of millies people from her manger scene wanted to swim, so we had to get a bigger swimming pool, then we even had to add a 3rd pool. By that time it just looked so fun, so millie insisted on putting on her swimming suit and swimming with them... she was sitting in the bowls and trying very hard to imerse herself in the water.
A week ago Josh ran the St. Judes Half Marathon. Millie had a good time tracking him all over town and met up with him after he finished. He won. surprise surprise, and ran a time of 1:08.0
