She is a Savannah Monitor Lizard and is approximately 18 in long. She is very friendly and likes to be held. It's only creepy to the Dad of the family. I'm sure Mary & Leo, and Grandma Mac will be thrilled to know this is how he spent his birthday money from them! :)
On a side note, call and ask Ryan about the April Fool's joke Jeff and my Mom pulled on him. (Then you can call me for the real story) Those of you that have been victims to Ryan's annual April Fool's jokes, which usually include someone driving into the airport to "pick him up", you will appreciate and reveal in the delight of how good they got him!
On Friday we took the kids to see the movie Rango. Which I do believe my Mom enjoyed more then any of us.
Karson picked out a Las Vegas cake for his birthday cake because he is a "Las Vegas Boy".
The cake turned out darling, from the same bakery that did Aubree's Rainbow Lizard cake.
Then he opened his presents. He got Wii games, movies, a radio and a camera. His Grammy also made him some new curtains for his room. Thanks to all for the gifts, cards and cash!!
The fun doesn't stop there, on Saturday we headed out to Bonnie Springs, which has a good ol' fashioned western town and a "zoo". I use quotations for Zoo because it is more like a farm except it has a Bob Cat and a "Wolf". But the kids loved it!
An old timey fire truck
Nothing says Family Time like a good ol fashioned hangin'. On another side note, some idiot proposed to his girlfriend during this exact part of the show.
So I guess I should say Nothing says marriage like a good ol fashioned hangin' :)
This took a lot of persuasion for Karson to participate in. You can see his excitement. 
Wallaby (apparently NOT a kangaroo)
Ostrich
"Wolf"
Aubree and the Llama.
Very friendly Prairie Dog that Karson loved.
I can't wait to see the pictures that Karson took with his new camera, I do know he got a lot of the chickens and the engine on the old fire truck.
My poor little rose tree has been hanging on for about 8 years now, after being blown over several times and moved from the back yard to the front yard.
This last winter we had horrible winds and the poor thing cracked and was laying on it's side. I tried not to cry and we bungee'd it to the tree, propped it with some wood, duct taped the trunk and hoped for the best.
Lo and behold, my first bloom of the spring!
My Grandma would be proud!
In approximately 23 weeks we are looking forward to welcoming the newest addition to the Miller Family!
I will apologize now for the poor quality of the ultrasound pictures, I could not get the blog to load the scanned pictures, so I had to take a picture with my camera. So, they aren't the best.
We found out yesterday that we (I) will have the pleasure of buying all the darling girl clothes again! Bows and bracelets!! :)
Here she is giving the customary Miller salute.
She kept trying to get away from the ultrasound wand, the tech had to chase her around to get a look. Here she is turning her back as the tech was trying to look at her heart. The tech mentioned several times she was one of the most "active" babies she had seen.
I'm hoping that's code for she will be a very calm and quiet baby. :)
