Miller Reunion in Parowan June 09

Well it was time for the Miller reunion in Parowan. I always look forward to this because I rarely see these folks on dad's side. It is very low key and lots of chatting and catching up. I love all these people!! i hope to make it home for the next one for sure! Hopefully EVERYONE can be there next time.

Just before the "get together" these two love birds got ENGAGED!! Congrats to these two!! I love Jenny already. What's not to love look at her. What is it hate is that her ring isn't yours!! Score Jenny!

Angie and Carey

Amanda, Amy, Emily and Karen. I so remember when Emily was a baby and would always would walk around saying "Shew" while throwing her head side to side! So cute. Jayne and I always planned to send her a birthday present every year, but I don't think we ever sent one! Sorry EM!

So cute, this is my desktop picture at the moment. You know how i feel about this group!

Alexis hangin' on the porch

I couldn't resist this one with such a smiley boy! I mean Mitchie!

Not sure what we are looking at, I am probably sweating her for her ring.

The Yellow House in Parowan!

Karen was so sweet to bring the blankie to matthew. Mitchie got one too. I emailed her the night before the reunion begging her for more blankies. She gave Alexis a darling one, and Matthew had taken a real liking to it, but it had pink on it, so i thought I would ask. She was so nice and brought me one for both. These are used ALL THE TIME!!!! matthew sucks on his, which i am not sure why he like sucking on the hairy yarn!! oh well, keeps him quiet!

Dad and the ladies! Ma, Karen, Aunt Sherie and Aunt Nancy

Cute Liam, how can you not LOVE that smile! It sounds like ALL the girls at school can't!

Cute Calvin!!

*Movers came and loaded, drove away and landed in Maryland on July 2nd.
*Loaded over 17,ooo lbs of STUFF
*Cried a lot those last few weeks of living in Vegas.
*Cried even harder when dad left us in Maryland and I witnessed my almost 4 year old REALLY sob in my arms for about a half hour. that is the first time i really understood she has real, raw emotions like I feel. I didn't know she could really understand something like that. It BROKE my heart.
* Said goodbye to amazing family and friends and ward
* Worked my bootie off and haven't stopped yet.
Stayed at mom and dad's for a week. Very great week. Horribly sad to leave mom and dad. In fact it is torture.
*Packed over 120 boxes and still have about 40 to unpack.
*Loved having MIL Dori in Vegas helping us pack and then she drove out here with jason and dog and then was here for a few days to REALLY help with the kids and unpacking.
VERY SAD to say goodbye to her. We don't say goodbye anymore.
*Moved into our new townhome. Trusted Bro John to pick it all by himself. He did a great job, I like it a lot and the scenery around is BEAUTIFUL!
