Halloween!

Halloween was pretty chill this year, I just hunkered down, ate some of my Mom's yummy homemade chicken noodle soup and answered the door a few times to see all of those cute little trick- or- treater's! The weekend before however, My Bro, Jason and Sis-in-law Heath threw a great Halloween Party.  It was a lot of fun, they went all out.  There was strobe lights, fog, black lights, etc. made it real fun for dancing, especially if you had white in your costume, the black lights made you look crazy, Anyways, thanks J and Heath, we had lots of fun!

The girls, plus creepy Davis lurking in the back!

Heath and I.

Jess and I.

Big Heath and the two Waldos. Neil and Ryan seriously picked out the same costume and didn't even know it. I swear they are one in the same. It was a good laugh for all of us!

And here's my Cole Davey Halloween night, he stopped over to my Mom's for some soup before he took off for the the night with  his friends to go Trick-or-Treating. This is the only one of my nieces and nephews that I was able to see all dressed up.  Loved it, made my day!

This past weekend was a great one. Pretty simple statement, but it was. Friday night I spent the evening eating pizza, Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes and watching movies with my niece (Skyler) nephews (Joe and Cole) and my greatest  little supporter and friend Lil Heath. We had fun. We didn't take any pictures though:(  Saturday was a day filled with old friends and reminiscing about the good ole' days.  Thanks Rach for putting this whole thing together, it was a lot of fun and I know that you must have worked on it for days, you are so detailed and make everything so special! Sunday, I had yummy wings at Wing Nutz with Ryan, it was fun.  It was nice to just sit and talk and watch Green Bay kick the Texans butts!

Here's a pic of us a Rach's house. From left to right: Teri, Me, Heath, Rach and Christy. Fun times, we need to do it more often!

If this doesn't make you laugh out loud, then I'm not really sure what will.  All I can say is that I'm so mad I didn't think to do this at my own wedding. Brilliant!

 

Gotta Love It!

Just In Time

So it has been a tradition for Little Heath and I to take the kids to the drive-in every summer, it is a tradition that we absolutely love! We planned on going a few weeks ago and Joe ended up getting very sick----We were getting worried that we were not going to pull it off this year.  Well this past Saturday we decided to go, sick, raining or whatever the condition may be, we were going! We loaded up the truck with the air mattress, goodies, sodas and "Little Caesar's Pizza" We saw "The Strange Life of Timothy Green" and "Brave" (I really didn't care for either of the movies, but the experience was fun.) We had a super nice couple in the truck next to us that kept helping us out all night: They took pictures, picked up spilled drinks, and even pumped up our air mattress at intermission, (it went totally flat.) I love nice people, I think that is what I left there thinking about the most.  I'm going to try to be more like those kind and selfless people :)

Here's a pic of the kids, I didn't like any of myself, so I'm not going to post them!

Remembering 9/11

We will never forget.                                                              

Love this Picture

It's amazing how adults are so immature.  Putting their feelings and selfish attitudes above their children's.  I'm going to get on a little soap box and say: start putting your kids first! I ran across this picture of little Livie and it just  made me sad :( Just because you have a falling out with certain adults in your life doesn't mean you should punish the kids! Shame on you, and you know who you are! The kids are the only ones who suffer.  I miss you Livie, Gracee, Brenton and Bradyn!

Love this picture of Livie and I.

Wait for it.......

A HOUSE DIVIDED

And that house would be me!  Oh what a blissful time of year it is, Are you ready for some football! Last night was an amazing time to be a BYU/Utah fan, both teams played awesome and I just love the fact that it's football season again!  Being so addicted to this sport is the only thing that gets me through these beautiful Utah winters we endure each year.....Not!!! So lets all get ready to hunker down with a comfy blanky and some chicken wings and enjoy us some football!

Fun Stuff!

Summer, Summer, Summer, oh how I love you so! I wish that I could say that I have taken part in more activities than I have, but this past weekend was a doozie! A big group of us headed up to the Provo River and decided to go tubin, it was a complete blast! I haven't laughed that hard in such a long time, it felt great.  I am happy to say , that I didn't fall off my tube one time-granted, the rapids weren't huge or anything but Ryan somehow fell off 5 times, just sayin! After it was all said and done, we decided that we will definitely be doing this again very soon!

The Crew!

                                                                    
                                                                 

Cute!

Pretty dang cute huh? It had been awhile since I had seen these 2 cuties, they had many stories to tell me, one of which was that they had just received their new dance costumes! I responded of course, by asking them to try their new outfits on, they both obliged, so happy they did! P.S. I wonder who is more of a poser????? Livie even swept her hair up on one side, what a firecracker she is!

Easter!

Who doesn't love Easter? I mean come on really! Chillin with family, eating (in my opinion the best holiday spread there is, besides BBQ'n on the 4th of July!) and hunting for Easter eggs, that could score you a bunch of loot! However, I think the very best part is watching the little chillins get all excited about gathering all of their eggs! Love, Love Love it! I took a bunch of pictures of the Miller/Lim parties so enjoy! I hope you don't get to bored, scrolling through all of them.

Sis-in-laws! (My girls!)

The Miller grand kids, Mom, Pops and me!

A little of this and a little of that!

We had a pretty fun-filled weekend, the kind I just love, the weather even cooperated! Friday night was spent at Jen's house, where she hosted a lovely Birthday Party for Brenda. The food was to die for (sorry no pictures.) Saturday, we were up bright and early to take part in Skyler's softball teams 1 mile fun run/5k. I of course did the 1 miler, these toes just aren't what they used to be! it was a fun time had by all, I was truly impressed how high tech it was. There where snacks a plenty at the end of the race (healthy ones of course) and we had a big raffle. Everyone won something except Bradyn and I, bummer! Lex even won the biggest prize they gave away at the end of the day, a $200 gift card to Salt Lake Running Co., pretty cool. Cole would want me to say that he won first place in his age division and Jason won 3rd place in his age division! What a way to spend a beautiful spring morning! Afterwards, Neil, Big Heath, Ry and I headed out to Wendover, and as always it was fun but there wasn't one person in our group that brought home a little extra dough!

* Enjoy the million pictures I took, yikes!

Pre-Race, we are all looking pumped!

Looking good Lex!

Bradyn's hangin in there!

Big "J" struttin his stuff!

And here we all are before heading out for the day. If you look closely, you can see a few of us flaunting our winnings from the raffle!

And here is cute little Brynnlie, she was blessed this past Sunday and I just had to sneak a picture of her in this post. What a cutie!

Presidents Day Weekend!

I love holiday weekends! 3 days off from work! YES PLEASE! The weekend started off great, Ryan was off on Friday, so we spent the evening over at the "Neil Miller clan" household, never a dull moment, let me tell you. Skyler spent the night with me in the bathroom trying to fix my blue hair, we toned it and now it is silver----silver is better than blue right? I now look 50 but I do not look like a smurf anymore! Skyler found out earlier that day that she had broken some small bone in her foot (She was messing around with friends at her birthday slumber party and from what I understand they were all trying to hop up and down the stairs on one foot to see who had the best balancing techniques, Skyler lost!) Anyways, the next afternoon while I was getting ready to meet up with some girlfriends for a dinner/movie date, I stubbed 3 of my toes on our foot board on our bed, I was catching myself from falling so it was a really bad stubberoo, so bad that I think I may have broken 2 out of the 3 toes that are absolutely nagging with pain at this very moment. My foot is extremely swollen, along with the 3 toes that look like little sausages and there is bruising from the toes up to my ankle, not good. My fear is that I may have broken something else in my foot as well. I'll keep ya updated on that. So if you are keeping count, that means that my Mom, Skyler and I are all hobbling around, fun times! I still went to the movie and dinner though, I just will not pass up an opportunity to hang out with my hommies! On Sunday, Ryan had to work, so I rested all day in bed, which worked out well considering that on Monday I ended up going bowling (I was only a spectator) with the Lim kids, and then to a Jazz game that evening with Ry and 2 of his good friends and fellow officers, Dave and Matt. Thanks for thinking of us Matt! We were 4th row, center court. I'm getting too spoiled lately, as far as the seating situation goes, it's going to be hard to go to a Jazz game and actually have to sit 30 rows back now! It worked out well though, being that I was a gimp, I didn't have to climb a million stairs throughout the night. What a wild weekend!

Probably one of the worst pictures Ryan and I have ever taken, beggers can't be choosers when you ask someone else to take a quick picture during half time. We were able to go down below where the players come in and out at half-time so the lighting was really bad. Oh well, I still wanted to document the night, so this picture will have to do!

Duncan (one of my favorite NBA players) and Big Al. These boys are so freakishly tall, it scares me a little! The Jazz ended up loosing. BOO!!!

Livi, Benton and Brynn.

Gracee girl and Brynn.

Me and Brynn, she is getting sooo big! I love that she has realized that she has her little hands to suck on now, it is so cute, if you just look at her and start talking to her, she gives you a big grin too, love it!

Noche and Anthony ended up bowling with us too, what a sweet surprise!

A random shot of the group bowling. Fun times!

We dooo have fun at work!

So for Valentines Day, we had a big shindig at work. I'm talking laugh your guts out fun! We started the afternoon off by indulging ourselves in my most favorite pizza ever, Papa Johns. Then it was time to get serious, we split off into teams and were told that we had 30 minutes to create a "Cake Masterpiece" It was like TLC's Cake Wars. R7 provided the cakes (from Granite bakery, yum!) and all of the trimmings: frosting, food coloring, fresh strawberries, bananas, sprinkles, piping tools, etc. You get the picture right!

I had a team of all boys, and lets just say, ours was not very creative, we made a Pac-Man looking figure. It was not cute and we lost! So sad! But we had so much fun taking part in this ridiculously fun activity, Here are some shots of us in action!

I'm looking pretty serious right?

The team hard at work.

I look like I'm a little in over my head. This cake decorating stuff is hard work!

The finished product......oh soooo sad! But like I said, I had a blast and I just loved, loved, loved my team, we had a lot of laughs!

A quick Lunch/Birthday

Well here we are, a couple of my favorite ladies on this planet! The stars kind of aligned, and we we were able to do a quicky, ( lunch that is!) it was great to see you ladies . Let's do it again soon!

Ter (very prego) Al, Me and Heath.

And here's a shot of the birthday girls, Ali and Sky. 17 And 13, and that 's all I have to say about that! Well, I guess I may have a couple of more things to say about these cute girls' twiner Birthdays, Poor Sky was way sick that day, but she was a trooper. Also in the pic, was Ali's boyfriend, Matt ( we really liked him, he is cute kid and he treats Ali really great!) Heath jumped in at the last minute as we took the picture, she's a cutie as well! We ended up having their Birthday Dinner at Morelia, it was a perfect night! Happy Birthday you adorable girlies! I love ya more than words can even express!

Jazz or Jimmer?

You had to see it to believe it! There were some pretty confused fans and players at the Jazz game this past Saturday night. We played the Sacramento Kings and we all know what that means (we played Jimmer Fredette!) I wore my Jazz colors and cheered for the Jazz but I was screaming like a little girl whenever Jimmer touched the ball and when he made shots, I would nearly jump out of my seat! The funny thing is, is that 70% of the fans there were doing the same thing. In the end , The Jazz ended up winning by 3 points and Jimmer ended up making 3, great 3 point shots, so it was a win win for me. Now I'm going to give a shout-out to a great buddy of ours, we love you Lex Bell! He had some pretty awesome tickets that he so generously shared with Ryan, Neil and I (we are talking 10th row, center court, right behind the players bench, awesome!) The four of us had a great time, we were even able to attend a VIP dinner before the game, we felt pretty high class, Lex sure has some connections!

JIMMER!

Neil, Me, Ry and Lex. Fun times!
