Jordanelle

Last Thursday the Miller Clan had some big plans to get all kinds of crazy up at Jordanelle (and by crazy I mean, wake boardin, tubbin and water skiing.) However, this dang Utah weather wasn't agreeing with our extreme desire to let loose and have a little fun. It was windy and overcasty, which means, no boats on the water. How sucky!!! We managed to get a couple of good photo ops before the weather turned on us. So if you would, just imagine that after these pictures were taken, we all jumped on the boat and had a crazy good time!!!

Ry, Me, Heath and J. (Not really sure why J is flexing, what a wierdo!)

"Wish You Were There"

Who doesn't love the County Fair??? I mean really, The people watching itself is worth all that it takes to even get there! Mark Wills (an oldie but goodie,) that Neil and I just love love love, happened to be preforming one of the nights that the fair was in town, Ryan happened to be doing security at the fair that same night and I actually didn't have to work at Leedos that night. (You can see all of the stars aligning right?) So a couple of us die hard Mark Wills fans (Tamara, Big Heath, Travis, Neil and I) headed out for a night on the town (at the county fair!) It ended up being a real chill night, reminiscing about my life over the past 15 years (oh how songs can take you back in time, I love it!) It was pretty great that Ryan was working security there that night too, he got us some killer seats and he was able to watch the show himself (On duty of course, but at least he was able to be there!) I didn't get any pictures of Trav (He was late getting there) and Ryan wouldn't let me take any of him while he was on duty, what a professional. So what I'm saying is I only took 3 pictures all night, go figure!!!

Us girls, right before the show was about to start.

Neil and Heath anxiously waiting!

Jimmy Buffett BBQ

Who doesn't just love a fun BBQ on a warm summer night!!! There really isn't anything else I'd rather be doing, honestly. This past weekend Jason and Heath hosted a "Jimmy Buffett" themed BBQ at their house. We were supposed to wear our beachiest outfits (Big Heath and Neil took the cake on that!) We chilled out to Jimmy Buffett's music all night, enjoyed BBQ'd shrimp and chicken skewers (props to J on the food) and Burroughs made a killer "Key West Margarita" (for those who decided to indulge.) We had a great time conversing and dancin the night away. Good times!!!

A shot of us girls: Tamara, Big Heath, Me, Jess, and Lil Heath.

Neil and J. Neil's outfit is tight! J had a Hawaiian shirt on at one point, I'm bummed he wasn't wearing it in this shot. Dang it! I wish I would have gotten more pictures of everyone but like always, I forget about having my camera. We'll just have to have another BBQ again soon so I can take lots and lots of pictures!

Nickell Campout

I can't believe I'm going to say this but, I think camping maybe getting more and more fun for me, crazy I know!!! A couple weekends ago we headed off to Roosevelt for the annual Nickell Reunion. Ryan went up on Wednesday, so in order for me to have a little company, I invited Sky to ride up with me and to join in all of the fun festivities that this campout has always offered. Sky had an absolute ball with all of the Lim kids and she really enjoyed fishing, playing games, the potluck, and the big softball game in the pasture (she even got to be the pitcher for her team!) All in all I would have to say that this years Nickell campout was a hit, We can't wait to do it all again next year!

Here I am participating in the "Quick Draw" event.

Tepanyaki: Yummy, Fun and pricey!

We try to be as fair as we can when it comes to hanging out with our nieces and nephews, However, It's always a battle when it comes to who's turn it is to sleepover, ride in our car, or to do some type of activity with us. Are we really that cool and fun? Yep I guess so!!! Bradyn had been ragging at us the most lately, So we finally caved and he was able to spend the entire day with Ryan, running errands and playing that dang play station! That evening I met up with them at Tepanyaki where we feasted on an amazing dinner. The food was way yummy and the entertainment was fabulous, I can't get over how pricey that place it though!!! Anyways, We hope you had fun Bradyn, we sure did!!!

Hangin with the girls!

Girls rock!!! I am not even kidding, sleepovers with the girls are sooo much easier than when we have the boys over. These three were easy breezy. Ryan went with some friends of his to the All-star game up at Sping Mobile field so I decided to have my three favorite nieces over for a girl party! We started the night off with some bubblegum slushies from Leedos, then it was swimming down at our pool, followed by pizza, braiding each others hair, dancing up a storm and ending with a movie. We didn't even get to sleep until 1:30---yikes!!! We did have tons of fun and I can't wait to do it again girlie's!!!

Swimmin in the pool!

Heath joined us for part of the night too, what cute girls these 4 are.

Jammie time!

And here's what happened when Ryan got home....He neatly placed Alivia and Gracee up on the shelf (way up by the ceiling) in our room, They just love it when he's around. There is nothing like being tossed around and dancing with Uncle Ryan, You gotta love it!

Summer Days

I LOVE summertime! It's amazing how many activities you can squeeze in, in just a week. Here are a few shots of us at the drive-in, playing miniature golf and chillin at Crystal Hot Springs. This up-coming weekend will be filled with hours and hours at the ball park watching Skyler do what she does best, I can't wait. I can't believe that it is already the middle of July, I get serious anxiety when I think about it too much. I just want summer all year around (I could handle snow on Christmas day, that's it though!) Here's to at least 2 more months of warm summer nights, bring it on!!!

The kids goofin around before the movie started at the drive-in.
