at the gym....and boy does my back feel it...think I may have over done it, but I am gonna keep on trucking!!!! need to loose about 9 lbs before our fitness test the end of Oct so need to keep doing lots of cardio stuff and drinking lots of water!!!
we had to come home early today because Abby threw up at daycare! YUCK....luckily we are home now {have been about an hour} and she sems a little better and doesn't have a fever..I guess the thing to watch out for is a fever >100, sore throat and vomiting! so gonna watch her for now and see how it goes...luckily I have 1 can of chicken noodle soup left!
forgot to tell you guys that I went and did group fitness yesterday at 0530 so Matt got the kids up and out the door....and this is how you got them up...played these 2 songs...they are Abby's favorites! so for the time being it is a good alarm clock for them!!!

27 Sep 09 Spinning Again
...today and it was rough! Then I came home and did the Wii Fit for over and hour and beat the bubble game and then was determined to beat the bubble advanced one! Peyton decided he needed to put a nerf dart inside Ben's DVD player, then they {Abby and Peyton} insisted on standing ont eh toy box and jumping off it...then they decided they needed to go out inthe rain, in the dark and play and then Ben decided he was NOT going to brush his teeth or put his chips away...so pretty much everyone had a bad night tonight! I am going to bed but wanted to share these pics I took of the kids out in the leaves today....the 1st picture of each set is straight out of the camera, the ones that followed I touched up in photoshop~ENJOY :)

26 Sep 09 Part DEUX! So I Went
...to take some stuff to the thrift store, drop Sam off at a friends and go get a few things at the exchange....here is how the conversation goes over text message:
Matt: "so before I let you in the house you have to PROMISE that you won't kill Dubs...no matter what he did..."Me: "Nope"
Matt: "well then you ain't gettin in"Me: "tell me what he did"
Matt: " ain't no way I'm telling you"Me: "you better"
Matt: :" let me just say you're going to have to redo a scrapbook page...and that you probably should not have left that box on the table"Me: "which one was it"
Matt: "that one you showed me earlier. Apparently he didn't think your representation of me was accurate"
Me: "what did he do exactly?
Matt: "he tore my guy off of it and tore it up...a little bit"Me: "can I fix it?
Me: "can I fix ut?"
Matt: "not fully, I don't think"Me: "oh well, I'll just fix it or redo it"Matt: "I'm sorry"
Me" it's ok"
Matt: "no it not"
Me: Well, that is just Dubs being Dubs"
so here is the BEFORE picture
and the after picture ~ at least it wasn't near as bad as I thought it was gonna be...
well, the good news is I managed to get some XMAS shopping done and I got myself a really cute outfit {nice jeans, shirt and jacket}...I actually got 2 pair of jeans because they only had 1 pair of each brand in my size! {NOT to Kim: you inspired me yesterday so my outfit is all because of you}
I wanted to take a group shot of all of use today, but this is what I got, so it will have to do for now! I'll be back to add all the shots if you happen to read this before I get them uploaded.
And here is my organizer that Matt put together for me {this is inspired by the one Geandma Lee has in her spare room!!!!}...we are gonna use it in the living room!
so I gave each of the kids a little thing of bubbles when I got home...and not even 10 mins after Peyton had his outside he dumped them completely out!!!! then had the nerve to try to come inside and get Abby's! NOT!!!!
and you KNOW...SERIOUSLY, is it IMPOSSIBLE for Peyton to actually eat his food with a fork or spoon and NOT his HANDS!!!!! that is how he is eating his mac-n-chesse right now!
Matt and Peyton jusy went outside
Matt to Peyton "Who did that {split the bubbles all over the ground}?"
Peyton: "I don't know"....SERIOUSLY!
Matt: "Peyton did it"
Peyton: "Peyton did it?" like he has no idea!!!
800 pm ...
Ben has a friend spending the night and they are playing with Abbya nd Peyton and Ben comes in the living room just now and says "Peyton is drawing on my wall"...SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!! I said "with what?" Ben "from a pencil in my room"!!! REALLYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
813 pm...
Peyton is now in Ben's room and actually LOCKED the door!!!!! and you people WONDER how we manage????? this is how!!!!!
And OH MY GOSH, if you haven't seen this you have GOT to see it!!!!! HIALRIOUS!

26 Sept 09 Short Week
or at least it seemd that way since I had 24 hour duty on Monday! not a whole lot happened this week int he Miller household :) but I talked with Yvonne today and she said "I KNOW something happened there!!!"...so I'll let you know what I remember!
Abby and Peyton dummped all of their foam blocks ont he floor {200} and I told them to pick them up, more than once, or they were going to bed hungry! So they kept farting around and farting aro0und so FINALLY we put them in bed...well Peyton keps coming to the door, so I FINALLY go check the door...I open it and he is crouching down as I open the door....so I tell him "The only way you can comeout is if you pick up the blocks" and just as INNOCENTLY as he possibly can, he looks up at me with those puppy dog eyes and say "HUNH???"...like he don't understand English all of a sudden! But stupid me couldn't help but laugh so I had to turn my head and let him out! and of coarse Abby followed shortly after! and Matt helped them pick the blocks up and let them eat {of coarse it was 830 pm by this point!}
fast forward to today! I get a message from Ben's school..basically a name and phone #, so I call back..I ask for the person listed ont he piece of paper and finally get connected to her! guess who it is???NO REALLY, GUESS?
yep..the Principal! seems Ben and another little boy were cutting in line in front of a bunch of other kids {as if that wasn't enough} they decide to start playing this "puching" game between each other and I guess it got a little out of hand so they had to go to the principals office! She said Ben talked to her and said it got out of hand and that he was wrong {which ormally he would just shut down and not talk to you at all, so at least that was a plus}...so as a little bit of school discipline he had to miss a little bit of class and spend some time int he cafeteria serving some lunch to the other kids! She also tells me there will be a paper coming home but that I don;t need to sign it or return to school, she just wanted me to know what happened~I tell her "It's good for him ,maybe it will teach him a lesson" and she says "We'll see!"....I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet because he was playing when I left to go to Jaci's and scrap! so I'l let you know what he tells me later today!
I spent the evening scrapping with the girls and it was so fun to just hang with them! I only got 4 pages done front and back, but I did get the title page of my 2007 album done {and this is usually the LAST page I do!} and I can't wait to share it with you! It will probably be my new blog header if I can get a good picture of it! So as soon as the light is up tomorrow {actually today} I will share it with you!
I really need to get in bed because it is 1:07 am and I WIPED out! but it sure is nice to be home and it is COMPLETELY QUIET! Even all the animals are asleep!!!!

20 Spe 09 First Duty Tomorrow
...and not looking forward to it! I suppose it's better than being in Kuwait, but 24 hour duties just SUCK! So the only thing to talk about today is the fact that Abby and Peyton decided to take their beach buckets and just throw the water out of the bathtub tonight!!!! And Abby has taught Peyton that he needs to eat ketchup with everything and litreally the kid just puts his hand/fingers inthe ketchup and eats it straigh! YUCK!!!
I was shutting Ben's closet door and a bag of older clothes fell out and this is what I found in it! So now it is Peyton's!!! {just for you Grandma Lee}
And this is also a hammy down of Ben's to Abby and eventually will make it down to Peyton!
What do you do when Dad leaves to the commissary and takes Sam and Ben, but leaves you behind? This is what you do :) until mom finds a distraction!
what do you do when you want something and can't find a stool because dad has thrown them all outside???

16 Sept 09 Busy
been a busy week! had a teacher meet and greet at Ben's school today! they do team teaching so they wanted to explain to us how things work when 3d and 4th graders are inthe same class. Seems to work, so we'll see...hopefully it will challenge Ben a little bit!
I FINALLY got back on my Wii Fit last night and did an hour and a half!! and boy was I sweating!!!! I tried to beat Sam's hula hoop record of 825 spins! I got 824, but TRUST ME, I will NOT give up!!!
Then we set up a Mii for Abby and she did the running part of the Wii fit and thought it was fun! So now everybody has their own Mii except for Peyton!
here are some cute pics of Abby from the last couple of days :)
FOBTY SSD:
well, the last time we went to a fair/carnival was a couple of years ago...before Abby was born....but I am hoping to get them all to the carnival next year when it heads around here around April :)

14 Sep 09 Back To the Gym
today and boy did it feel good! I went to spinning class and even though it wasn't Beth's class it was a workout and I found out that they teach it 5 days a week :)
and what else do y0u ask happened today at the Miller household....well, pretty much nobody wanted to cooperate after we got home..Peyton smacked Abby int he face with a plastic spatula, Ben wouldn't even read for 15 mins {that was the only homework he had} and Abby was just Abby! so everybody went to bed early...Ben 1st! then Peyton and Abby was just sitting in the living room watching Toy Story 2 and I finally went to check on Peyton {and you know how he likes to sit behind the door and bang his feet???}....WELL he smelt HORRIBLE, so I knew he needed a diaper change when I opened the door, WELL HE NEEDED MORE THAN A DIAPER CHANGE!!!! he managed to take his diaper off, poop onthe floor and somehow get it all over his door...EWWWWWWW...so as I type this he has had a bath and his teeth brushed and I think the REST of us are going to bed shortly!
...and I forgot to add that last week he got into Ben's markers and Abby comes out and says "Peyton's got the colors"...and sure enough he did!
but what do you do when you see these looking up at you!!! their only saving grace!
and if you haven't heard, so sad, Patrick Swayze passed away today at the age of 57~

13 Sep 09 So Let's See
...what did our weekend entail? well ther eis always something happening here!
Abby started the weekend by pooping in her "wunnerwares" and while I thought she was still just hangning in the shower I went int he bathroom and she had stopped the bathtub up and had this much water in it {even though I think she stopped the tubbed while she was standing in the shower}...
..Sam went to the 1st home football game on Friday night and has been at her friend's house all weekend! Abby is still having issues pooping in her "wunnerwares" instead of the toliet~and I am FINALLY getting around to getting all of my "gifts" from Kuwait and Vegas together to hand out to friends/family~
...Abby's new favorite song is "Boom Boom Pow" by the Blacked Eyed Peas and she walks around the house saying "gotta get dat" and "I'll be rocking dem feets" even thogh that is not realy the words to the song! it is too funny!
oh.....I ran into Yaneth on Friday, she was doing her drill time at the hospital! {I worked with her on active duty in the lab and she is now a reservist and works at the local hospital in their lab}...it was SOOOO GOOOD to catch up with her and know that she is an avid reader of the Miller 6 Pack Blog..HI YANETH!!!! and just know that when you think you are having it rough with the boys, we are going through the same thing here!
the weather is really nice today so as I am typing this Abby and Peyton are in the sprinkler~
...and to top it off Abby goes to get out the bathtub and hits her head on the edge of the sink...are youkidding me??????~but luckily there are no visible bruises!

10 Sep 09 1st Day of School
...YEAH...Sam caught a ride with Matt to school and I took the day off to walk Ben to school...other than that it was pretty quiet today! Sam is a JUNIOR, if you can believe it!!! I can't! Ben really likes his teacher and saw a few old friends this morning and he didn't even mind wearing his little name tag necklace~
and this picture is to show you that Sam AND Girlfriend had a rough 1st day at school!!!
so I decided to do this today! cleaned out the utensils drawer, condensed the lid drawer down from 2 to 1 drawer` and put all the kids cups, plates and little bowls in the bottom drawer {just like at Grandma Lee's}! Felt so good to get rid of all those EXTRA lids and utensils I do NOT use!!!!!!!
..so I went to go pick Ben up and ran into Abby walking back home with Stephanie from the school {she was picking up her her dayare after school kiddos} and Abby decided she wanted to wait with me and walk home with Ben....so we stopped off at the playground on the way home and I got some cute pics of them playing...check out Abby's hair!!!!!! HILARIOUS!!!
...on the way home from Stepahnie's Matt tells Peyton to be careful he is gonna trip and sure enough, dude trips and scraps his hands up on some rocks! if it's not Abby, it's Peyton! Abby decided to play doctor and fix him up with some bandaids! poor kid~
Kim Note: OK, all the girls are on, not sure how way spouses/signifiant others will be in, but we are GOING...so start planning! :)
SSD FOBT: it's all about your favorite sport~ well I really didn't stat watching football until a couple of years ago and since I was in Kuwait and missed quite a bit of football last year, I am sooo looking forward to seeing the Colts play again this year :) How can you know like anybody named Peyton???
