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!!!

Grandma Linda, Ragen, Aunt Pam, & Aunt Jan

Grandpa Pete and Jaden doing what they do best!!

Pestering each other!!

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!!

Raggie's first Popsicle!! Her little mouth was so red

and cold but she would not let it go!!

Cousin Hogan, Raggie, and Halli!!

Jaden Grandpa Rick, Halli, Grandma Anne, & Ragen!

MILLER MOMENTS

Jaden Moments
{Jaden has been losing teeth but today he lost his first top tooth, I guess we are entering those awkward years! He still looks cute but talks with a little lisp!! 5/16/09}
{"I'm hot, not what girls think, my body's hot!" Oh the funny things kids say!! 4/09}
{I recieved an email from Jaden's teacher the other day that said he had led the class in a sing along to "So what" by Pink! She also let me know that he often sings while doing his work, yes it is a distraction, but I guess there are worse things!}
{Today Jaden and I were sitting on the couch and he saw an ultrasound on the TV and says, "Mom, how do babies get in your belly?" My response....UHMMMM!! Great how do I answer this one. When mommies want a baby Heavenly Father hears you and puts it in mommies tummy. He says he wants another baby, but this time a brother. My response to that one...that's nice but I think mom and dad have it figured out now!! No more babies for a long time!! 8/1/08}
{We were all laying in bed one morning and I commented that Ragen felt hot and Jaden says, "Yeah, behind her legs are hot but not the straights!" Guess that meant the front of her legs!}
{5/27/08-Today we planted flowers to spruce up our yard and Jaden told his dad, now we have flowers we are "rich". Cool...I didn't know that's all it took!}
{"Red Alert, Red Alert, Halli we have to get out of here!" This is what I heard coming from the bathroom as water was running over the toilet. Jaden had taken it upon himself to unplug the toilet! He was very concerned, he thought he had ruined our house! It was kinda funny!}

Halli Moments
{Rarely has clothes on, loves to be naked or in her fancy nancy get up! 6/09}
{Is scared of "hello-vators"! Term for elevator}
{"My name is Halli, I like to dance!" I catch her saying this quite often!! Funny! 5/09}
{Halli has been asking me to call her "Daisy" and then the next day it was "Hope"! Where is this coming from! 5/09}
{Funny words Halli says- "so...", "actually"!!}
{Halli is really into singing "Livin' on a Prayer", it's hilarious and when you asks her who sings it she says, "Bon Jovi." 2/09}
{I took the kids to McDonald's the other day and Halli wanted to know what the toy was so I told her it was "Littlest Pet Shop." When we pulled up and got the Happy Meals she said, "mom, can I have my Littlest Ketchup!" Pet Shop/Ketchup, close enough! 3/09}
{Halli told me she wanted to use Jaden's "swish swash" Mouth wash! 2/20/09}
{I had put Jaden and Halli to bed when a few minutes later I could here someone scooting down the stairs on their bum, so I went to take a peek and there was Halli. I took her back to her bed as she was telling me that her owie on her leg hurt (really there was no owie) so I kissed her leg and she looked at me and put her arms in the air and said, "I can't believe you guys not in bed!" She says some of the funniest things. Good thing she makes me laugh once in awhile because she sure is up to no good lately!! 2/16/09}
{"Lugs and Kwisses!" Halli's version of hugs and kisses!}
{"Nice going!"}
{"I peacing out!" The phrase "Peace Out" is used at our house regularly and one night when Halli got done eating this is what she said as she got of her chair! 11/08}
{We have been potty training and she is so excited when she poops...so the other day she pooped then she says, "AWESOME! Lets count them!"...huh!! At least she likes to count! 10/08}
{She told me she had Dia-rhita!! 10/08}
{I was picking up crumbs and she says, "It's just me making messes!" 10/08}
{I asked Halli if she wanted a drink out of my snazy pink water bottle and she said, "That's cool!"10/08}
{Halli's new word..."Holy Crap!" 8/8/08}
{I was sitting at the computer today and Halli didn't know I was listening to her and I hear her say, "Hi Hannah, how are you!" Hannah is one of her friends. It was so cute because she was just talking to herself! 7/21/08}
{Halli woke up Sunday morning with a swollen finger with blisters so we took her to the doc. to find out she had an infection. Today I was changing her bandage and when I finished she said, "Thank you mommy!" "Great job!" How cute!! 6/7/08}
{I'm never too sure if Halli eats the food I give her so I have started asking her where her food is and she opens her mouth and then says "buggy" and points to her belly!!}
{When Halli burps or tooters, she blames it on someone else. She says, "Jaden did it" or who ever sounds good. Makes me laugh!}
{5/08-When I ask Halli if she is a big girl or a baby...her reply is "CUTE!"}
{5/25/08-We had just got home from church and Justin was getting Halli out of her car seat and he said, "Halli why did you take your shoes off?" Her reply-"Tause!"}
{When I ask Halli what Daddy's name is she says daddy Milner! Close enough!}
{Halli loves her pretties! Pretties include: lip stick, necklaces, hair accessories, anything she thinks makes her look pretty!}
{"K!" Halli answers with K everytime you ask her to do something or tell her something! It is so cute! Sure beats "NO!"}
