Nicole's Wedding

I am super lame and didn't take any pictures during Nicole's wedding. I guess chasing my 4 children distracted me.  Nicole and Jason are a DARLING couple! Honestly, they are perfect for each other. He is everything we wanted for Nicole. They are one happy, simple, and awesome couple! Congrats Nicole and Jason!

Reece river rafting

Chad (Grandpa Miller) was given a free trip down the Payette River for work.  He asked if he could bring his 9 year old Grandson and they said yes! Reece was so excited he asked about it all week long. The day finally came and Reece had a total blast!! He came home ecstatic! He rode the Bull twice and thought he'd died and gone to heaven.  He came home and could hardly wait to show me the pictures from their trip!  I love having boys and watching them be brave and try new things! I'm also grateful for wonderful grandparents who truly love our children! We are blessed!

Reece's drawing during Sacrament Meeting. He loves to draw-- especially with pencil.

Benson at a birthday party in June just before we moved.  He loves anything creepy and crawly (except spiders)!

This is seriously one of my favorite sights-- I LOVE seeing my kids get hooked on a good book.  We had just visited the library and Benson started reading a "Magic Treehouse" book. He was hooked!

Our really great friends and old neighbors from Rochester met us at Park City for some Café Rio and Alpine slides. It's so good to be with my friends from Rochester.  I miss them sooooo much--- like so much that it makes me cry ALL THE TIME! Ugh.... moving is so hard when you leave such wonderful people. I have to remember this quote "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened".

I love going into the boys room at night when they are tucked in bed and asleep.  There is a special spirit seeing them sleep safely and peacefully in our home.

Kate--8 months

Our sweet and tender Baby Kate is 8 months old! She has been a trooper throughout our move to Utah.  She held strong during the long drive until the final 3 hours-- then she lost it! Fortunately for her, we think she's darling even when she's crying.  She spends a lot of her day sitting in the living room watching the activity around her.  She can roll, but doesn't like to be put on her stomach or back so she spends 90% of the day sitting.  She is starting to make more sounds and is becoming more interactive.  I have finally started giving her baby food and she LOVES it! She's also sleeping better! Yea for Mom! She is our only child who likes baby cereal-- so that's fun to feed her.  She is the center of attention during Sacrament meeting.  The boys fight over who gets to hold her, sit by her, give her toys, etc.  They are awesome brothers-- if she starts crying they will come play with her and she brightens right up! They make her giggle and do all kinds of crazy acts to make her happy-- and it almost always works. She is loved-- she brightens up our days.
