Rakin' Leaves...

We have a couple of leaves in our yard...

A cute little chilly girl!

Loving being bundled...

Our leaf collector...

And the helpful raker...

Important work...

Finally...

Finally it happened...my parents believed that I was a big enough boy for a big boy bed.

Of course, I had to be in the middle of the action to help with construction.

Check it out!

Tah dah! 2 little monkeys jumping on the bed.

1 fell off and bumped his head - mommy didn't call the doctor,

but the nurse practitioner said - "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

And Hannah trying to not get too excited...

Sound asleep.  So much nicer for him to have more space to spread out.

Here's to not falling out of the bed tonight =)

Topeka Zoo

A family picture at the Topeka Zoo.  Forgot our Omaha pass, but were able to see an 1 1/2 hour tour of the Topeka Zoo which happens to be next to the Children's Museum.  A very nice cute little zoo.

Mommy and Hannah on Mommy's birthday in front of the bronze lion.

Shout out to Shelli for the animal photos!  

The giraffes were pretty cool and the first animal to see.

And the orangatangs - this one was so cute.  

Took a piece of burlap and figured out how to throw it out to us the visitors. 

 Then he figured out a way to obtain the burlap again and start the process over.  So fun!

One of Mommy's favorite pictures of the kids.  They loved sitting on 

all of the bronze sculptures at the zoo.

Cutest Elephant ever!  Hannah was so excited because the elephants in 

Omaha are gone temporarily.  She remembered San Diego and 

loved watchting them eat.  Isn't this elephant to cute!

Flamingos....

Some hippos eating lunch...the kids wanted them to swim so bad, 

but they understood the importance of lunch.

The kids, again, riding on a wooden bear - so excited!

Hannah the navigator.  She took her job very seriously

This is what is next...

The Family Miller walking through the zoo...

Topeka Children's Museum

Last Friday we were lucky enough to visit Grandma Kathy 

so we took a field trip to the Topeka, Kansas Children's Museum.  

Hannah obviously loved the face painted butterfly and then worked to make a princess house.

While the princess house was being constructed, Eli was working on fire truck puzzles - pretty proud!

There was a wood workshop for all ages.  Daddy and Hannah made a car...both so proud!

Mommy and Eli sawing the wood for the car...

There was also this "glass house" where the kids could paint and then wipe it off of the walls.  Here is Hannah deep in her artistic flow...

LOVE PAINT!

Eli trying his hand at painting.  Both the kids were so excited!  Such concentration.

Double-fisted painter!  Can you even stand how cute he was in the apron?

Working on the princess house.  Mommy - I am not ready for a picture!!!!

The End!

Our Halloween Princess!

 

Our Snow White princess...

 

Hmmm...what should I be next year?

 

What happened to those 7 dwarfs?  

All I found was a lion? 

Are we in Kansas anymore?

 

Oh, dear - am I the fairest of them all???

 

Tah dah!

 

And then the witch man...

Brithdays Galore!

 

A true picture of our children...so happy and so excited always!

Between October 8th and November 5th, the whole family has a birthday in the Miller household.

Hannah and Eli loving the time even if they are sharing the family party!

 

Ariel for Hannah...

 

Tractor for Eli...

 

So...can we open these yet or what?

 

I am so excited I can't even handle it!

 

Cheese!!!

 

Candles for being 2...

 

Concentration for the 4 year old...

 

CAKE!!!  And p.s. no one except me gets to eat the tractor cake!

 

Are you talkin' to me?  I love cake!

 

Happy 36 Daddy!!

Happy Birthday Mommy!
