All better...

Hopefully! Everyone seems to be back to normal around here. Cutler is still pretty clingy to me but he seems to feel better. Although he still isn't eating ANYTHING! I get nervous but he's not wasting away by any means so I'm sure he'll be fine. And Noah is back to his busy out of control self - yay for us!!

What a night!!

It all started great. Both of the boys went to bed very easy, no problems. Colby got home at about 10:30 from work and we went to bed. At about 1:30 Cutler started crying. It must have been an odd cry because I just remember jumping out of bed to get him. When I got into his room I noticed it stunk and figured he had pooped. When I got to his bed I found the real stench was throw up. I immediately went back into our room to get Colby. We got Cutler and the bed stripped. Colby held him while I remade the bed but he cried the whole time, all he wanted was me. He had a temp of 100.4, so we gave him some motrin, but he threw that up. So we opted for the tub. After about 2 minutes in the water his fever must have broke because he thought he was in there to play. I told Colby he could go back to bed, he had to be back to work at 6:00, and I got Cutler out of the tub. I finally got him settled back down and back to sleep. This must have been the same thing Noah had on Saturday. He couldn't keep anything down and kept complaining of a headache. Hopefully my boys are back to normal and we can be done with this sickness. Cutler seems to be doing fine this morning, we'll have to see how the day turns out.

Family Vacation!






We just got back from another great Miller family vacation to California. Let me just say it was VERY hot! We did all of the great things to do there: Knott's Berry Farm, Legoland, Disneyland (of course) and an Angels/Indians baseball game. Colby loved the game the best. The kids all had a blast, which is the most important thing. About every other year (so far) my parents take our whole family on vacation. So far it's always been to California, because of kids (and my dad LOVES Disneyland), but who cares where it is, it's a vacation! We got to stay at the beautiful Grand Californian Hotel, one of the Disny Hotels attached to California Adventure. My dad said he wanted all of us to be able to experience luxury at least once in our lifetime. It was such a nice hotel, THANKS DAD! I do have to say that our vacation did not start out so great. We went as far as Primm on Monday night. Everyone else had gone earlier in the day but Colby had to work so we left later. We had just gotten the car loaded and kids in and seriously drove about 50 feet when we had to go back because we had forgotten something. When Colby put the car in reverse it made this loud thud and I honestly thought the transmission had just fallen out of the car. We slowly made it back the house and by then it wouldn't go in reverse at all. And it was making a loud whining noise like when your in 4wd. Well, needless to say we had to unload the car, put it all in the truck, move the kids over and drop the car off at the shop to get it fixed. Good thing Colby just got that nice new truck so we would have room to be comfy. Car problems suck - I just have to say. So, on Tuesday morning we got up early and drove to Knott's Berry Farm. It was so hot and humid that day I thought I was going to die. Noah went on his first real roller-coaster ride there and had a blast. I have a video of it, I just don't know how to put it on here yet. As soon as I figure it out you'll have to watch it, it's the funniest thing you'll ever see. Cutler loved seeing Snoopy, because he loves dogs, but he wouldn't stay close to him long enough to get a picture. He was that way with all of the characters at all of the parks, that's why there's not any good ones of him. Wednesday we went to Disneyland, it was still hot, but definately not as humid the rest of the week - thank goodness. This time at Disney Noah was finally tall enough that he could go on almost every ride. His favorite ride overall was Buzz Lightyear, his favorite big ride was a tie between Splash Mountain and Thunder Railroad. Thursday we went to Legoland, which I thought was fun but was surprised that all the kids couldn't go on all the rides. We thought they would be able to. That night we went to the baseball game. Friday and Saturday was Disneyland. On Saturday my dad had set up a birthday party for Kadence who turned 3 on the 10th. This guy named 'Pat E Cake' did a great job singing and dancing for the program. Everyone got to decorate their own cake, then Mickey & Minnie came to wish all the kids a happy birthday. We managed to get the boys to have a late nap so we could stay up late and watch the Fantasmic show and the fireworks, they loved both of them but were so tired when it was over. Cutler actually fell asleep in the stroller in Downtown Disney, and Noah kept yawning and asking when we were going back to the room to go to bed because he was tired. We got up and came home on Sunday after breakfast. Cutler actually slept almost the whole way home. He fell asleep before we were even on the freeway and slept until about Baker(?), we stopped in Vegas to let the boys run around and get some lunch, then both boys slept the rest of the way home. Another great vacation courtesy of grandpa & grandma Miller! I will have more pictures on here as soon as I can figure out how to do a slideshow.
