To blog or not to blog

I really dont think I blog enough. I see all these other really cute blogs- where people blog everyday and I think i wanna do that. I wanna blog more. Who cares if anyone actually ever reads it right? But then I realize my problem. Do I even have anything to write about? How boring is my life? Really though its not that boring. I have 4 kids who really keep me moving. Between dirty dishes, laundry homework, breakfast, lunch dinner, piano, and work (yes i work too).
But even with all these things I just dont have anything to write about other than the cute little things my kdis do on a daily basis:
1. Charmaine has started calling me Princess Mommy. I love it. It makes my hear melt
2. Baby Joe has started climing on EVERY thing including the kitchen table. The other day I heard him screaming so I walk upstairs and he was on top the piano! It was so funny I almost fell over laughing!
3. Dallin is such a sweetie, he is always reminding me how beautiful he thinks I am. Its the best thing in the world to wake up to him.(when he's in a good mood)
4. Aaliyah is really growing up. She likes to come home and tell me all about the drama she has with her friends at school. Ah-highschool is going to be fun.

So that is just a few little things going on with the milner kids right now. Who knows if I really will start blogging every day. Right now its a goal. Who knows about tommorow.

9 years ago today Joe and I started our eternal journey together. We were sealed in the temple. We don't normally celebrate it, usually just recognize it and move on with our day. This year is no different, with our busy lives and 4 kids to boot its not easy to do much of anything. But I wanted to just write a little something about how much I love him and am great full than he choose me to be his eternal companion. He is a hard working, man full of integrity and compassion. He pushes me to be a better person every day and I am so great full for him. I know he feels the same way about me, he tells me every day. I love our family and I am so glad we will be together forever.

Icicles are kinda cool

Even though I hate the snow, and I really HATE the snow, I have to admit this was really was really cool. I didn't leave the house at all today because of the aforementioned hating snow. At about 530 we opened the front door so Joe could go pick up dinner and we saw these icicles hanging from our rain gutters. I had to get a picture.

A Week Of Firsts

This last week Baby Joe had a big week.



His first Haircut



His First Pie Night at the Rogers



His first Thanksgiving (although for some reason he ate the legos instead of the turkey.)





And of course his first birthday. We are so happy to have baby Joe in our family. He makes everyone smile around him an and we couldn't imagine a day without him.
(Special thanks to Deja for making his cake and all the cupcakes.)

10 years ago today.....

Today is me and Joe's 10 year wedding anniversary. I cant believe time has gone by so quickly. We were so young, I don't think we had any idea what we were doing. And even now 10 years later we are still learning :) I have to say I am so deeply great full for having had the pleasure of being married to such a wonderful person. He truly completes me. I cant imagine what my life would be like without him. Marriage isn't always easy, but he defiantly makes it worth it.
Joe I love you forever! Thank you for the past ten years!

The next Mozart

Aaliyah did so well at her piano recital last Saturday. She is really on her way to becoming a very talented pianist. She loves to just go tinker around on the piano all the time. We are so proud of her. Here are some pictures of it. As you can, I am not the best photographer.

First day of no TV and more

Today kicks off the No TV or video games week at Truman Elementary and we are determined to make it work! Today was Sunday and we don't normally watch TV or play video games any way so it wasn't that big of a deal but we will have to see how well we do tomorrow.
This month has been so hectic. The kids started school, which has been going great. Aaliyah is now in first grade and she is learning so much already. She reads so well and lately her math tests have been coming home with 100%. She says she loves school. I hope this attitude keeps up through high school :) Dallin started afternoon kindergarten. It was hard at first because he was pretty shy about going in without mom. But he is doing better now. He is starting to learn how to read. He gets very excited about it and we are proud of his enthusiasm.
Aaliyah and Dallin also started soccer. Aaliyah is great at following the ball and kicking it down the field. Dallin is an amazing goalie. When the ball comes his way he literally dives for it. Every time.
The hardest thing this month however is when Joseph was in the hospital with a blood clot in his lung and leg. We are very blessed to still have him around and I thank Heavenly Father every day for his continuing health. We are so thankful for every one who has prayed for him. And who showed there love and support for him while he was in the Hospital. He is doing great now back in school and work full swing .
So that pretty much raps up September. Its been really busy which is why I haven't been blogging. Plus I cant find the usb cord for my camera so now pictures till i buy a new one :(
