Everything obviously needs decorating and finishing touches, but just having a fresh coat of paint on the walls makes a huge difference. I can't wait until spring, so that I can move my attention outside. Yardwork has never sounded so fun! </div>

The transformation is this room is phenomenal! It looks completely different from when we moved in. If it wasn't for the pictures, I would have a hard time remembering what it used to look like. <br />
<br />
I'll post more pictures after we put the furniture back in and get it decorated. Hayden already loves it though! He spent half the day running around his room and wiggling his toes in the carpet. <br />
I think he is happy to have his room back. ;)The Miller Fivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17797007177523690717noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353397721976177489.post-91470156907080918842012-02-28T10:51:00.000-05:002012-02-28T10:51:23.639-05:00It's been a while.....<div style="text-align: center;">

It's been a while since I posted last...over a month actually! I have a very good reason for my absence though. We've been tearing our house apart and fixing it up! We started on Hayden's room and decided to do the living room at the same time to save on carpet installation.</div>

<br />Our very last day in Utah was spent mainly in the airport. It was quite the nightmare. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 12:50, but it was delayed due to bad weather in Baltimore. When our plane finally arrived at 2:30, we boarded. After sitting on the plane for 20 minutes, they de-boarded us, because they could not get the door to close. We waited for another plane to arrive. Because we waited so long, we were able to say another goodbye to Kyle. Our plane finally got off the ground at 5:00 and we touched down at almost midnight. It made for a long exhausting day.

And I will never forget the men who fought and died to make our freedom possible.<br /><br />God Bless America!<br /></span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI4QZ0YG6KKLGxuuD-8bDCvkT12NvdAwjl0rQfmweX-XmhmCtwWogT8zJ2MqcGhN68VU8L6wyX2kpIe8CQWrS-uJiwRZr-RpvW6KrcWzdjBg259FIDye0ydWJF_9Lchvhr_gbbd3d69WuJ/s1600/042.JPG"><br /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKiWU5csjFjDMoh8VvjuDIFiikVdariaDegUKe48YWxvD-iX_-EfB6v9ttdd2p590b4BIoaimEfA1vkVj8rpU0o92AJHQ2uZzoOi-Dflafam2OYQX6t4az6DA3rNjb9A-3tVacwmiel3cu/s1600/002.JPG"><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRKuryk78wf_ef7e3eIkBOwW4fCPdmIpH4l2eRFINlpPk5aehhB9bLPjz4ZtHeO7CI0XIX_i_IwD5umcpBMfEwxA4UYnk9LVdWsW0Xos7vj6PoAzWaNiu7zAyeVh65rBvK8PUrntti5aPy/s1600/017.JPG"><br /></a><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwWadCmIHvrBd_5Aa59zKmuGNcBONxBTC16pcOmk4tHNO0XfdwB0tTg3ouDngEcGJcHwxqfDMXaTg4UBzwXRlqqUo_HAXnHfCZoX1crBPQSropS3ysLdPtGq03zcV7lzzHDTRDQzRzToUA/s1600/021.JPG"><br /></a>The Miller Fivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17797007177523690717noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7353397721976177489.post-33655602775268523042011-06-28T15:43:00.010-04:002011-06-28T16:30:17.165-04:00June Fun<span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" >**WARNING - LOTS OF PICTURES OF CUTE KIDS BELOW- PROCEED WITH CAUTION**</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">I can't believe we are in the last week of June!
