Words of a 5 Year Old

#1 "Mom, I'm sick. I have the chicken pox." Spoken at 7am as I am getting ready for work. Thankfully he used a washable marker to create the pox and no, his red tongue is from the juice he drank!

#2 "It's not my fault I went to sleep. My eyes started to shut." Said after he woke up from a nap. I told him some day he will be excited when he gets to take a nap.

PS Grandma Sue got a hold of another one of Jake's loose teeth and popped it out before he even knew what was happening. 2 down, lots more to go.

Happy Birthday to Us!

My Dad and I have celebrated our birthdays together for the past 32 years. This year we had the privilege of sharing our birthday with PJ too. He celebrated his first birthday on the 10th.

Growing up I have always enjoyed having my birthday right by my Dad's. I am proud of my Dad and am so thankful for the influence he has had in my life. He is an outstanding grandpa. My kids love wrestling with their Bup! I pray that the 3 of us have many more birthdays together. I love you Dad and PJ!

Here is the top 5 reasons I love my Dad:

5. He is a great cook and loves trying new things

4. He is an energetic grandpa

3. He is an honest man and has a strong knowledge of right and wrong

2. He loves my mom

1. He loves the Lord and has passed that legacy onto his children

The Boys

2007 brought 3 new Muller cousins. PJ in the 1 year shirt (my sister Annie's). Ty in the 9 month shirt and Ethan in the 6 month shirt (my brother Nick's). We look forward to having them grow up together.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! A little late. We had a wonderful Christmas spending lots of time with family. We got to see all the cousins. I took 2 weeks off from work! It was a treat. All of us were ready to get back to 'normal' after that. Here are some of the pics from our holiday season

Ty enjoys going outside. He can't move when he's all bundled up, so it makes it a little difficult.

every day Lindsey asks me to put her hair in piggy-tails before we go out, but the minute we walk back in the door her hair comes down and she strips down to put her new Dora PJs on. I can't keep her dressed lately. At least she stays dressed in public....so far!

Lindsey and Ella having fun

Jake got a snow board for Christmas. The neighbor kids were pulling him around. This was after my brother was pulling the kids on the snowboard behind Jake's snowmobile. Fun times!

Jake's Christmas Party

I had a great time at Jake's school Christmas party. We played a game, decorated Christmas cookies and made a ginger bread house. The kids were all very excited! Now we are looking forward to a nice long break.

The Never Ending Game

We got our tree a week ago and it has provided lots of entertainment

Look Mom!



Ty will sit and shake this ornament and laugh at the noise it makes

This may not be such a good idea


Jake was proud because he helped cut the tree down this year.

On a different note...Jake lost his first tooth. You can't see it because the new tooth was growing right behind it. It was getting real wiggly and Grandma Sue said let me see it. She grabbed a hold and yanked it out before Jake knew what was going on!

9 Months Old

My baby is 9 months old! He is such a happy little guy. He's crawling all over the place, pulling himself up and even letting go of the couch for a second. He is so much fun and brings smiles to everyone around him.

Did you ever forget to snap the bottom of the onsie? Ted forgot the other day so he thought he would just put it over top of Ty's jeans. A new fashion statement...Hot!
