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!!

Boys playing football in the yard

Love these two!! Ty, is one AMAZING dentist!! He does even judge me for my poor dental hygeine!

Kristel said...: So I remember you always talking about this candy store that you would stop at in parowan on the way south to Vegas. Well, I met someone who grew up in Parowan and asked about the candy store. He had NO IDEA what I was talking about. Did I make up that memory???; July 30, 2009 at 9:05 PM
carey said...: What great pictures! I wish I would have taken more - - glad you did for me! (Can I steal some?) It was wonderful seeing you guys & your darling kids (and I just adore your parents).

My little buddies talking...

"i promise i will obey cause i have to get apple juice down my throat, so I won't throw up, but i have too. "When being punished from apple juice

"Mom, is he milking your boob off? While nursing one of the boys

"Um, she's kinda wimpy"When asking if she had fun with her friend, don't know where she heard that word.

During her bath, i walked past her and she said"Mom, your cute." Thanks hon. "Mom, your beautiful." Dang, your nice. "Mom, your bery sweet" Wow. "You are".

"Honey those are way to small for you." "They fit, but they don't, but they do."When trying on her preemie clothes last week.

I am officially being called "sweet motha" or just "motha".

"Mom i need you to turn the cold heater on, the cold one so i don't get hot."

Alexis is always sneaking out of bed right after we tuck her in. She is allowed 1 warning. I usually go straight to the computer, becuase there is no point in going downstairs becuase i know the "escape" will happen within minutes. So just a minute ago, i turned around to see if her door was open. Well lo and behold she is basically right behind me. I had no idea she was there.

I said "okay, well..." She said, "That's my warning, don't forget a kiss, duh, silly goose". "Okay, goodnight, Alexis"

"Oh look at po0r Mitchell, he is so sweet, i could just eat him alive." When looking at a very cute picture of him.

"I love Sis Horn and she loves me and i love her. keep safe blake and help him to come over and emma and issac and eric and help jesus be nice to me becuase i love him so much??"

this was her prayer when we asked her to say a few things differently than her normal prayer which is always "dear Heavenly Father keep safe Jesus, and bless mommy, daddy and the boys in the name..."

When asking why she is putting all her toys in a backback, her reply was " just organize-ik".

I asked Alexis how her walk was tonight with Grandpa Miller and she said " he gave me two dollars (because he found a $5 bill in a bush, he gave her two because he is older and gets 3), I love him SOOO much, he is the best, I could just eat him alive"!!!

With wide eyes Alexis said "Look! there is a squirrel up in the tree!, that is so beautiful and gorgeous!"

While holding up a dollar bill, alexis said "why do you have been mom cash? This is big cash. I want big cash!" i could think of a lot bigger cash than that.

I asked alexis her favorites...

veggie... guacanoli (actually she hates avacados)

what she wants to be when she grows up... have babies

fruit... grapes

"Dear Heavenly Father, Keep safe Jesus, bless this food that it will be healthy and safe, I love james and I don't know what kind of birthday cake he will have, name of Jesus Christ, Amen." Morning prayer on the day of James' birthday, March 6, 2010

The kids and I were walking throught a beautiful cemetary behind Jill's house. When Mitchie wandered off toward the gravestones Alexis yelled "Quick Mom! Get Mitchie. I don't want him to be dead in one second!" She made me tell her all the names on the gravestones. She would say'Oh Aunt Jayne, Oh. I know James!!" April 12, 2010

Some of the things that ALexis has mentioned in her prayers are... "I love smashing ants, i love mom i could just pop her teeth out", I will add more soon. 4/27 2010

"I am thinking about Match in my brain". Why? "Cuz, brains just think about Match." 3-29-10

She was writing a letter to Meemaw and she wanted to have more and more tape, so I said give me a hug then, and she did and while doing said "Good to see ya, Happy Birthday."

5/11/2010"Dear Meemaw. I love you your beautiful, beautiful with your make up and would you please let me borrow some of it at my house, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen, love Alexis." 5/11,2010

May 30th
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. Dad spanked me today and mom spanked me, please bless Matthew he is so beautiful, in the name of Jesus....
today's dinner prayer.

6/3/2010
During her prayer Alexis said " Dear H.F. please bless Sunny, she is so beautiful and when i see her again I will give her a rose and I will throw her a stick and play catch.

3/20/12
Matt said a few days ago. "Mom, you ugly, daddy ugly, Mitchie ugly, I not ugly, lexis ugly, everyone ugly, not me!" Yep, he was mad and that is how he gets us back!
