Good Bye Sweet Kitty

There is so much about Miley we are going to miss.  It makes me so sad that Summer will never know her:(  She was such a blessing to our little family.  The night before we took Miley to the vet, we took some pictures.  I am sad that I didn't get one of me with her, but Moms are needed behind the camera, right?

Miley was Tyson's wrestling buddy when she was a kitten, then she turned into his head bonking buddy.  Every single time Tyson cried, she came running to comfort him.  Even when she was so sick just a couple weeks ago, Tyson fell off his scooter and she raced across the street to comfort him.  Such a sweet kitty.

  

  

Jordan kind of considered Miley her very own cat.  Since Jordan was the oldest, she picked Miley out and named her and carried her on the car ride home.  She and Miley loved playing rough together...probably because Jordan would take the scratches and bites and keep on going:)  She came up with all Miley's nicknames Mys, Bays, Bays Mys, Miwey.

 

Kya was Miley's sleeping buddy.  Miley preferred Kya's bed over any other place in the house.  She also snuggled on Kya's lap more than any of the other kids...but not more than Mom:)

 

Daddy was Miley's "birdie, birdie" favorite.  He would just call "Birdie Birdie" and she would come running and chase the stuffed bird that he whipped around for her.  Mike spent countless hours researching what could be wrong and how to fix Miley.  He took over with the vet, as I was busy with Summer (have you ever tried to take a baby and a cat to the vet?  Not an easy task) and he fought so hard to get her better until the very end.

 

 I was Miley's favorite to snuggle with.  Every time I sat down, she was on my lap.  When I was pregnant with Summer, she would sleep on my belly even when she had a hard time finding room.  She really felt like my fourth baby, while I waited those 8 years for Summer.

(Here she is sleeping on my pregnant belly)

We will forever think of Miley as part of our family!
Good bye sweet little Kitty:(

It's only been 14 and a half months!

This weekend we finally took a trip to Microsoft to see where Mike spends most of his time!  After seeing the enormous fridge packed with every kind of juice/soda/chocolate milk and white boards and computers everywhere, I think the kids wondered why dad ever comes home:) 

This picture is in Mike's office...I think we need to get him some office decor for Christmas:)

 There are some pretty high end shops on the Microsoft lot, but we stopped at this super fancy cupcake shop instead.

Summer is VERY anxious to start solid foods...maybe we'll start with cupcakes:)

 

After dragging the kids out of Microsoft (seriously they did NOT want to leave), we headed down to Snoqualmie Falls (something I've been wanting to do since we moved here).  It was so beautiful!!

 

This happened....

Anyone who knows my cell phone history, knows that I have always been WAY behind the curve when it comes to updating my device.  Not anymore!! (and I even have a cute case too!)

Jordan went to the football game instead of trick or treating this year!
