8 Months Old - Oh the fun we're having!!

TGIF!!
This week has been somewhat of a blur - Monday I had a training meeting for Lifetouch yearbooks - I am the yearbook sponsor at Sparta Lincoln and they are ALWAYS adding new things to the online program for designing the yearbooks...
Tuesday - I had school and we were running all over the place
Wednesday - Stephen got hurt at work so we had to be in StL. at the dr. office at 6:45AM wait WHAT?? Yea I know that was my thoughts too...but he had to get 2 different MRI's done.  One for his shoulder and one for his elbow - Poor guy
After the MRI appt. we had all afternoon to kill in Stl. because his appt with the Dr wasn't until 1:55pm

We drove around the city looking for something to do while wasting time - when it was time for the Dr. we headed over, waited about an hour, went into the room for the Dr. to come in for a total of about 5 min.  The Dr. told stephen, nothing is torn, just a bit of fluid in his joint and he needs physical therapy, 2x's a week for 3 weeks.

So we jumped back in the car and headed across the river - It had been a long day for us, we picked up J&L from my moms and headed home!! I believe all 4 of us were in bed by 915.

Speaking of J&L they are learning and doing new things Everyday - I'm loving all the new things they can do, but OMG it makes me so sad to think they are 8 Months old already...(Tuesday)  Where did that time go?  On our way back from the Dr. Wednesday stephen and I were talking about that awful girl in St. L that murdered her baby because he wouldn't stop crying - what a crazy nutbag...aghhh it makes my stomach knot up and my heart ache for that sweet little boy - How could anyone do such a thing, especially to YOUR OWN CHILD!

Anyway, we were talking on the way home how it seems like just yesterday we were leaving the house so early in the morning on that Tuesday March 15th  morning.  Unaware of just how much our lives were going to change in just a few short hours!
Look at these 2...how could I ever have a bad day when they are in my world!

 "Former WOMBmates"...Thank you Kacie & Kathy for the adorable onesies!!
 We were having a crawling race...Layla was obviously in the lead...Until Jaxon decided to take drastic measures!!  Doesn't Layla look like she has spikes in her forehead??!!  


 Toys, Toys, Toys.....Gosh I just LOVE toys!!




They amaze me more and more every day at what they learn, do and grow.  Both J&L are crawling, pulling up on anything and EVERYTHING, it is so cute when they start babbling to us as well as each other, and nothing melts my heart as much as having them reach for me when I come in a room - I love them more than any words can explain!

Helllllllloooo - I almost feel as though I should re-introduce myself...It has been a few weeks since I've sat down and written anything down.  Lets just say I've had stuff going on. Not the best excuse I realize because there are plenty of others out there with 2 kids, a job, and a crazy busy life that still have the extra 5 min. to sit at the computer -

Just to bring you up to speed on whats been going on with the Miles'

Its best to recap with pictures.......
As we all know the St. Louis Cardinals won the world series...(I know I told you its been awhile since I've blogged...)
We didn't have tickets to game 7 but we loaded the kids up and went to Busch for the "experience" I dont have much on my bucket list but attending a game 7 deciding game, is something I just HAD to do!!




From one sporting event to another....We took J&L to their first SIU Basketball Game -
True to form Layla LOVED it...Jaxon was not impressed with the lack of defense shown by the Salukis...O well they both enjoyed the atmosphere for the new arena!

 Jaxon is ready for hunting season!!  He already has his gun...and some camo - If only they made baby walkers in camo with deer calls on them instead of music and lights!!



Well Halloween has come and gone...I must say I had the cutest Lil' Ducklings I've ever seen!!  They are sitting up, scooting, and talking some jibberish making the holidays so much more fun!!





 TODAY is PAPA Marks Birthday!!
We celebrated Sunday evening with the family, and lets just say I have a great babysitter in Cousin Danielle...she is a pro at feeding Jax!
