"If it's Laurel" nursery decor

I really want a boy, but I'd love another girl just the same. I really like the color combo red, aqua and white for a girls room. Here's some pics I found for inspiration...

"If it's Madden" nursery decor

I'm gonna paint the nursery the same color as our bedroom - light beige. The main colors will be navy blue and brown. I'd love to find a plaid crib skirt with those colors! This skirt is from Target.com's "Spot" collection by Bananafish but I think it's black not blue :(

Show likes the sports theme of course and I like jungle animals. I got so excited this morning when I found "Team Safari" by Lambs and Ivy at ToysRUs.com! It's the best of both worlds! So cute!

I had a great day runnin around with Jenn today! She's awesome and I luv her!

Sky went to a CSI class this morning held by Jefferson County Parks and Rec. She learned how to take fingerprints and they solved a fake crime! She loved it!

I love this outfit! Just had to blog it LOL!

We watched Sky perform in her Christmas play at church this morning. She held up "ria" during the song Gloria and she signed during another part. She's awesome!


Jenn and I went after Christmas shopping yesterday. We had a blast! I got these snowmen figurines I had fallen in love with and I bought this owl for our baby in hopes that it's a boy. But Jenn said I jinxed it by buying it and now we're gonna have a girl LOL! Btw, if it's a boy we're naming it Madden Michael Mills; a girl will be Laurel Ann Mills.

Here's some Christmas '09 pics...
See the gap in the tree where Beijing climbed it and broke a branch :(

Sky is too cool in her new Aeropostale top and Call of Duty pj bottoms with her new skateboard!

Anyone up for a game? She'll kick your butt with her new official WNBA basketball!

She's a true gamer, Midnight Club and a black contoller, so cool!

Btw, I'm blogging on our new laptop and it is shweeet!!!
What a great Christmas! Thanks everyone for all the wonderful gifts!!!

Dad took Sky and I to the Epic Boofay at the track last night and it was delicious!!! Michelle met us there too. All you can eat crab legs! AND Sky found a new love for creme broulet! Thanks Dad!!!

Show and I went to the doctors this morning and everything's going fine. I lost 5 pounds which is normal. We'll get to listen to the heart beat next time (Jan 20)!

Tomorrow's Christmas Eve!!! We're so excited! Everyone finished shopping???

Happy Hanukkah to Abby and David! I can't wait to give you your gifts!


12 more days til Christmas! Any last requests???

The Ravens beat the Steelers!!!!

This game gave me a headache. But in hindsight, it was an unbelievable game. Just glad we came out on top.

The Christmas party has been cancelled. Thanksgiving at Moms was so great it filled my family-time yearning til Christmas. Plus, I've been feeling poopy the last few days. I started taking a pre-natal vitamin and I think it was making me nauseous. I can't wait to feel better and eat normally again! I'm gonna call the doctor tomorrow to see if they have something less potent.

Our house looks amazing! You should all drive by and see! :)
I can't wait til Wednesday!!!
and

Doctors appointment and dinner at Moms!

Working at Hedgesville went great today! I got to see some people I missed and avoided some people I didn't LOL! While I was working I came up with another name if it's a girl, Kyliciti. It's Skyler, Alice and Kristi put together. I like it!

Like the new layout?!? I have my first doctors appointment Wednesday the 25th, but for the sake of wanting to put that cool weekly calendar on here I'm guessing I'm about 5 weeks. Since our baby is still a zygote we lovingly call it Ziggy. I remember when we didn't know what Skyler was and we nicknamed her Ishkabibble lol! If it's a boy Show wants to name him Jordan Boss Mills, but if it's a girl we like Laurel Ann or Laurel Jordann Mills. I'm still nervous something might happen but Skyler told me to just think positive so that's what I'm doing. She's actually excited which makes me excited! I haven't had any morning sickness but I have felt mild cramping which I feel is totally unfair! ;D Everything else is great! Some men are putting new siding on our house which makes it kinda noisy but it's gonna look soooo good, I can't wait!

Ok, we can't keep anything a secret lol! I took 4 tests today and they all read positive! I'll be making a doctor's appointment at the beginning of next week. We're psyched!

NBA Players start petition to honor Michael Jordan.

There is a movement begining in the NBA to have Michael Jordan's number 23 retired by all 32 teams in the NBA. Great Idea. Kudos for the players to get this going. Its a no brainer. Just funny the league didnt come up with this on thier own. G.O.A.T.!

With nod to MJ, LeBron plans No. 23-to-6 switch

Sky wrote this for her Myspace status today:

"if you never knew how much i cared about the veterns then you dont know me that well! if i could i would serve our country to support all the families!"

She's the coolest! Hope eveyone had a great day off!

It's supposed to be 70 degrees today!
Ravens lost :(
Carlos had a baby boy!
I applied to WVU! I'm goin for a Master's in Special Ed.
Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Holy Crap! I bought this cute purple sweater from Gabes for 6 bucks. I just looked it up online and you can buy it from Norm Thompson here for only $79.50! I love a good deal! Score!

I'm tired. We met Jenn at the house after school today. She treated Sky and I to China Kitchen! YUM! It was delicious! Thanks pumpkin! Then Sky and I ran errands. We didn't get back til 7:30. Now we have to clean up pet-messes, clean up human-messes, and do homework. Sigh... I finally found a red sweater I've been wanting though! I bought this one today from Fashion Bug because they gave me $10 in the mail. I love that it looks layered without the hastle of being layered! I just hope I don't drip food on the white part, right Jenn! LOL ;D Well, g'nite everybody!

As you can see Jenn and Sky are lookin great while I am in desperate need of some new work clothes! And a new hair-do! Sheild your eyes!

Here's Sky and Dad going trick-or-treating!

Sky was a Jester, a cute Jester!

Dad was a pirate with a skeleton, but he puts the skeleton on when he gets there. You can check him and the skeleton out on Youtube here!

I was scheduled to sub half day at Musselman High today and then I got a call to sub for another teacher the rest of the day at the same school! I love that! Unfortunately I didn't pack a lunch thinking I would only be there til 11. So I went to Sheetz between jobs and got one of my most favorite meals: turkey on a toasted everything bagel with lettuce, mayo, tomatoe and green peppers, kettle cooked chips and a hot mocha! It was delicious! Now I'm stuffed but I just had to share my happy moment with everyone :)

Next Saturday is Halloween! Sky and Show finally finished this cute haunted house!

I found this Halloween calendar at The Christmas Tree Store. We liked it so much we're gonna make calendars for every month!


Here's our try at November. I think it turned out pretty nice!

My latest project, punched tin! I saw it in Country Sampler and decided to try it. So easy and so fun! I love it! Here's examples from CountryPunchin.com I'm working on...

Some photo fun!
