WOw an update!

I've been so lazy lately on updating our blogspot! It's terrible! Our family is having alot of fun growing up.. We have our two munchkins, both are 1 year old just till the end of the week and then we officially have a 2 year old, although We have found out that terrible two's can start 3 months early! But She's still a sweety.
Our kids have given us alot of new phrases here are some:
Marcus:

hungry: Ooo ooo. Mama! Mai MAMMA!

gets hurt:(louder) MAI MAMMA!!!!! mamma me me

happy: DADA!


Helena:

Michael plays Counterstrike(shooting game) gets shot and dies.....
Helena on his lap watching, pounds on the table: "OH MEYH!" (translation: OH MAN!)

If things are out of place, walks around, shakes her head: (casually) " No no no... ah no no no"

The Toy Story aliens in the beginning of the dvd lift up their arms and say YAY! when you select play... Helena in the same tone as the aliens lifts her arms and yells:YAY!



Helena and Marcus are such characters, we can't wait to see how this baby is going to be!

NEW BABY!!! UPDATE!

Michael and I went to the doctor's for the usual Ultrasound appoinment yesterday and got to see our newest baby! We are welcoming another baby GIRL! I could have sworn it was a boy but heck, either way is great. I mainly thought it was a boy just because this pregnancy is so similar to Marcus' pregnancy and with Helena I was sick all nine months but I guess every pregnancy really is different! We final found a first and middle name we agreed on if it was a boy and we have a name for a girl but now I have to start searching for a middle name! lol it takes us so long to find a name that fits! and that both of us think is cool....

Sorry no pics but I will update pics next time!

TORTILLIA SOUP!

Okay so for those of you who haven't tried this, it's one of my husband's favorite meals! I got it from the internet and edited it a little... The recipe calls for you to make your own tortilla chips and heck, for all of you mom's, you know that we just don't have time for that , on top of making soup! lol.. Well anyways here's the recipe hope you enjoy it!

Tortilla Soup


Ingredients

Tortilla Chips, preferably Mission Tortilla Strips
1/4 cup peanut oil or vegatable oil
1 small onion, chopped
(1/2 cup)2 cloves garlic
3 or 4 finely chopped green chiles (Depending on the hotness and flavor desired. You can also put more.)
4 cups chicken broth or homemade chicken stock
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken-( I usually buy the already cooked whole chicken from staters or sam's club)
1 ripe medium avocado
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (2 oz) (or other mild, melting cheese)
Chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges

2 Heat oil in saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion in oil 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic and chile; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in broth, tomatoes and salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add chicken; heat until hot.
3 To serve, peel and pit the avocado. Cut into 1-inch slices. Divide half of tortilla strips among 4 individual serving bowls; ladle in soup. Top with avocado and cheese; garnish with remaining tortilla strips and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
Serves 4.

Enjoy!!!

Okay I know this is a lot of updates but I guess this is the biggest one...... I'm pregnant! lol yes again! this will be number 3 for us... It's funny how life throws you for a loop! But Micael and I are really excited! It's not like we don't have the room and love for another child... and honestly we are really spoiled! our kids are super easy!!!! so 3 will be an adventure! I can't wait to find out what it is!

Helena and Marcus at Disneyland! Fairies!






















Helena loves Tinkerbell! I don't! but it makes me like her more because Helena like it... She likes all of the Disney princess stuff too... its pretty cute.. So We went to the Pixie Hollow at Disneyland to see the Fairies and take pictures and Helena LOVED it! Marcus didn't mind, only 6 months old and already loves all the girls telling him he's adorable!












Finally an Update!

So sorry we haven't updated our blog in so long! WE've been BUSY! In many different ways lol! So Last I posted We got a house! And yes we love it! It's a 4bedroom 3 full bath. Vaulted ceilings, fireplace, tiled flooring 1800 sq ft..Lots and lots of space... its got a small back yard but defintley big enough for a barbaque and playhouse for the kids to run around!


NExt! WE had our baby right before that ! and now he's almost 6 months old! Our little Marcus Orion Miller


















He's Getting Bigger and Bigger! He's 20 lbs right now! Mind you he started out at 7lbs!



Helena is now doing what any normal 1 1/2 year old does.. She speaks alot! Anytime we give her something new to eat or try she says " I like that! I like that a lot" one phrase she uses alot is " I like that! Iiii like diet Co!" I can't imagine where she learned to say that! jk... She always talks with her binky in her mouth.. it's alot of babbling!
