Hawaii Trip


Aloha from Kauai! I have received several requests for pictures so I thought I would put it on the blog. Thanks to Claudy, Wendy and Scott for pleading enough to make me post some pictures. It was a fabulous vacation and I'll never forget seeing the Nepal Coast, whale watching, hiking, sight seeing, snorkeling, bike riding, luau entertainment, Puka Dog eatin, down pour of rain and sunshine. Thanks to everyone who helped watch our kids so we could go on this fabulous trip! Ma halo!

Brayden James Auger

He's here! Brayden James Auger was born on November 17th at 12:45pm. He weighed 7lbs 3oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. The nurse said he has big feet and a big head. The delivery went well and Brayden is doing great. He had a mild case of Jandice and has been under the billie lights but is looking less yellow everyday. He has been such a joy to have in our family. Kylie can't stop kissing and hugging the little guy. I hope he can survive all the smothering.

Baby #2

Were excited to report that #2 baby is on its way! I have been extrememly sick the first trimester which has caused life to be on hold. However, the 2nd trimester is here and things are looking much better. I haven't been able to spend much time on the computer because I get REALLY dizzy by watching the screen so blogging will have to be limited. We just wanted you to know our exciting news!

Playin Catch-Up

I like to dedicate this blog to all those fans who have stayed with us through our blogging drought. We appologize for the lack of posts but appreciate the continous reminders, naggs, and even tantrums to continue our blogging habits. Special thanks to Catherine, Karen, and Rachel.
A picture says a million words. Dave and I bought a bike trailor for Kylie. We were so excited we tried to fit in as many trips as we could before winter hit. Kylie seemed to enjoy it and we found her smiling all the way down the path throughout Ogden. Dave had the genius idea of strapping her favorite friend, her stuffed animal "Bear", in the passenger seat. We can't wait to wear the trailor out next year!


There has been a few days this winter that Kylie and I have been stuck in the house due to so much snow. Kylie doesn't seem to mind and loves playing in it. There has been several days that within 10 minutes of waking up she's giving me the sign that she wants to go outside. She just hasn't learned that I'm not up for going out in my PJ's yet.



The reason why I haven't been blogging is that I have been so involved with my Scentsy business. I have had about 3 formal parties and at least 3 basket parties a month ever since I've started. It has been so much fun and so much more successful than I ever expected. It has been a huge blessing and outlet for me as a stay at home mom. I love the excuse to socialize, love the challenge of reaching goals, and love thinking of new ideas that help my business succeed. It has been so much fun that it has kept me up at night on serveral occassions thinking of new ways to make it succeed. It has been a lot of fun.Dave really enjoys fishing. Dave has spent several days at the lake looking for fish this year with some of his friends. This is a picture of him and his friend Nate Jones fishing at Strawberry Resiviour.
I love Christmas traditions. One of my very favorite one is when Santa comes to the Mills house and gives us all presents. Who can complain about that? We sing songs, eat to much, and even have a little program where the kids can display some of there talents. Its always a highlight of the season even though Kylie is afraid of the guy with the long white beard.

Christmas was great this year as we spent it in Pocatello. Kylie particully loved it because she could chase the cat and play with her cousin Sidney all day. She couldn't keep a smile off her face once she woke up and saw that Sidney was there. She also thrived on seeing her cousin Rigdon and just couldn't get enough hugs from him. It was fun to see Dave's Grandpa dedicate a Christmas song as his gift to Helen during the Christmas Eve program. It was so neat that he decide to give her a gift of song for Christmas since he didn't have any money. Kylie enjoyed the company so much over Christmas that she seemed depressed after having been surrounded by cousins. I had to quickly get some playgroups together after we came home to fill the void.
Kylie is learning the names of all the features of her face and finds it particully interesting that there are two holes the can fit tiny objects in them. Her newest trick is to put corn up her nose. I left for 2 seconds the other day while she was eating lunch and found peas had been stuffed in her little nostrils. She seems to find trouble wherever she goes.
Dave turned 35! We tried celebrating all week! On his birthday we ended up going to Brook Mills blessing in Salt Lake and on Monday we got together with some of Dave's old college roommates for some official birthday celebrating.
Kylie got her first haircut by a proffessional today. Our friend, Robin Norman, has a salon in her home so we headed up North to get her a haircut. I bribed her with all of her favorite things to help her stay as still as possible. She did a pretty good job considering she's one.

My Biggest Fan

Dave is a wonderful support. Ever since I have become a Scentsy consultant he has watched Kylie more than his fair share and has spent more of his personal money on Scentsy than I'm sure he ever imagined. After my first Launch Off Party Dave decided to order a warmer for his office, one as a wedding present, and a bunch of scents for his office. He was ordering so many scents that I questioned him and asked why he needed so many especially when he was using his personal money. He quickly replied that he needed several scents if he was going to show people at his office. I was touched by his generosity especially when he was planning on using that money for a fishing trip. That night Dave ended up being my biggest order. I'm continually amazed at his love and support. I am one lucky girl to have him.

Scentsy

I recently have signed up to be a Scentsy Consultant and it has taken off! Scentsy is wickless candle company that sells a variety of candles through party planning. They have warmers, plug-in's, room sprays and car candles. You can order by calling me or order it right off my website and they will send it directly to you. Check out the site to see more.

I'm so excited about my new venture that I have to tell you about it. These candles are so great! First, they are so good for families. My neighbors 2 year old put her entire hand in the wax and did not cry. The wax is melted by a 25 watt light bulb through a warmer so the wax gets just above body temperature so it won't burn. Second, its much better environmentally. After the smell goes away after 60-80 hours the wax is still there instead of being burned into the atmosphere. Due to the wax being melted at such a low temperature the wax is not placed in our breathing space. Even those who have had allergies to scents find they can have Scentsy in there home. Next, instead of re-buying glass candles you can buy refills for $5 which is much more cost effective! It also works great in offices due to the candles being flame less and having less worries about having a fire. The candles can be left on 24/7 and can be used as a night light. There is over 80 scents and some great ones that you don't want to miss for the holidays.
Please call or visit my home to smell the new scents. We have a warmer and scent of the month that is always 10% off. We do formal and informal home parties. Our informal party is where I send you a basket of scents to your home and you inform your neighbors and friends of the scents you have and they can order from you and then you get all the free items as if you had a formal party. If you don't like having parties at your home you will love all the free things you can get. Please give me a call and I would love to answer any of your questions and talk with you all about my new adventure!
