My Men

Fun at the Zoo

To take advantage of the gorgeous weather, Mom and I took the boys to the zoo on Thursday. We saw elephants, giraffes, monkeys, rhinos, flamingos, and otters! I rented a wagon when we got there, and the boys walked most of the time but were able to hitch a ride when their legs got tired. The sun was bright so most of my pictures got washed out and Cody was not interested in posing at all, but I did get a few cute shots. We can't wait to go back again!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Tuesday in the Park with Jacks and Cody

We just HAD to get out and enjoy the warmer weather yesterday, so we headed to a nature preserve not far from our house. The boys enjoyed the playground, but their favorite part was going down by the creek, wading in the water, and making big splashes with the rocks. In the 2nd picture, you can see the big bump/scrape on Jackson's head where he tripped and landed on his forehead (that happened the day before, though, on the way into school). I'm so glad we spent the time outside, because it's supposed to get colder again tomorrow.

Welcome to the Miller Nudist Colony!

We offer many exciting activities, including naked tractor-rides and naked arts and crafts!

Polar Express

Again, these are from late December. We took the boys to ride the Grapevine Railroad which was decorated for Christmas and re-christened as the Polar Express. Jacks was enthralled with the steam engine (his favorite kind of train) and enjoyed wrinkling his nose at the smell of the smoke. But the big black engine was also very loud and menacing up close, so both boys stayed very close to Daddy. The fun of the ride was slightly lessened for the adults by the blasting of carols over the train's sound system, but both boys had a great time. Jackson spent the entire trip staring out the window, and Cody enjoyed flirting with the lady behind us. The Polar Express becomes Thomas the Tank Engine in the spring, so we may be riding again, before too long.

Christmas Morning

Oops this is very out of order, but I never got around to posting it! Here are the boys in their matching train PJs which Santa had delivered on Christmas Eve (Anthony decorated a special mailing envelope and then ran it around the back of the house to the front door, rang the doorbell, and then dashed back in to help the boys answer the door!) with a special note saying, "Put these on and go to bed quickly so I can do my work!" You can see they both enjoyed Cody's TMX Elmo. :)
