~Miller Kids~

I have the hardest time taking pictures of my children! Trying to get them to cooperate is almost impossible so...I bugged my friend and she helped me and then she was extra nice and put them in smilebox! Ragen had a great time at our photoshoot as you'll see!!

Kindergarten Begins!!

Jaden started Kindergarten and absolutely loves it!! His teachers name is Mrs. O'Shields and she seems really nice...I think he will like her. So far so good!! He really enjoys riding the bus! The first day of school we walked up to the bus stop and I thought he would hesitate just a bit before getting on the bus...but he didn't even give me a kiss he just jumped on and waved to me like crazy from his seat! I thought I would cry like a baby but I think I was just so proud of him and in shock that I have a child old enough to start school!! The second day of school he told me that is was SUPER!! I hope he continues to enjoy his schools days seems that's what his life will consist of for the next 12+ years. We are so proud of you Jaders and hope you enjoy all your new experiences! We love you!!

UTAH!!

Our trip to Utah has come and gone! We made the long 14 hour (11 if you don't have kids!!) trek to Utah and weren't too sure if we would make it back! It was so nice to go home and see our families since we hadn't been to Utah in a year. This was the first time my brothers and sisters and their families had seen Ragen other than in pictures!! I didn't know how well Ragen would like them but she did just fine. While we were in Utah we got to do a few fun things...like the Box Elder County Fair. It was fun this year because Jaden and Halli could ride the rides together. The crazier the ride the better Halli liked it!! Jaden also got to go on a few bigger rides with his cousin Jake. We also went to the Brigham Pool a few times to cool off. The kids enjoyed splashing in the water and going down the slides. We tried out Cherry Hills while we were down in Bountiful. We spent most of the time in the lazy river and trying to catch some last minute rays!! It was fun but I think I was expecting something a little more exciting! Sorry for those of you who love it!! The best part was spending time with our families and letting them get a grand kid fix!! It was also nice that mom and dad got to escape a few times to enjoy some quiet adult time! I have to say that it was nice not hearing "mom" for a few hours!! Here are a million pictures of our trip, sit back...it may take a minute!!!

Grandpa Pete and Halli!

I think Ragen resembles her cousin Chandie when

she was a baby! They have the same eyes!!

Jaden refreshing his 4-wheeling skills!!

Halli really wanted to share her chocolate with Tuffy but

wasn't quite sure about him!! She did end up giving him kisses!!

Jaden has to make sure he gets a lawn mowing ride

in when we go to Grandpa Pete's!! The trip wouldn't

be complete!

Wow!! 4 out of 5 looking at the camera was the best

I could do!!

Jaden's last day on the farm!!

Grandma Anne painted Halli's fingernails after she

got into grandma's paint and tried doing it herself!!
