Happy Birthday Grandpa Steve! You Are Loved!!!

Sending you some lovin on your special day! Just a little word about Grandpa Steve. Last week he provided the lodging and the entertainment for 13 grandkids and eight adults, and he took us to Las Vegas. It was pretty crazy, but he was a great sport. Each grandchild thinks they are #1. He has a very special heart, able to love each one individually. These kids are sooo lucky they have a Grandpa Steve in their lives. Thanks for all you do and we hope your day was super! Lets play again soon...in our town.
Love, The Millers


You have always played like one of the kids. Even though you are getting older you still play with the children just the same. It's AWESOME!








Eli took this shot tonight of the Jemez. It looked like the mountain was ablaze.

Warming My Heart

Our week was great! We are finally enjoying a bit more warmish weather. The kids have enjoyed much outdoor time these last few days. More to come on their newest project.


This one is for the Grandpas. Look at her go.
Lutie Cutie warms my heart. She is enjoying learning how to play the violin.
All was quiet and I beagn to wonder.....This is what I found. My heart smiles when my children are in books. This was almost too much for me to take. Eli was nibbling in Mother Theresa, Lucy was studying/giggling at the paintings and sculptures in the Sistine Chapel, and Ezra was dreaming about The Lone Ranger and castles. Keep it up kids. The world is yours to discover!

Conference Celebrating...and other fun stuff!

Conference Weekend is a special time for our family. We missed our usual crew. The food, toenails, ultimate frisbee, late nights laughing, and lots of little people are some of the things we missed most. Although, I did have some yummies on hand. I made my own pitas and falafel from scratch. ALL of it YUM! This is my cute little stove. I feel like a true homemaker with my apron on. I feel I should wear heels and a dress when I cook. I've busted out some seriously yummy stuff lately. Little Lutie is a care-free girl. Watching her dance is a time to keep. I'm trying to capture her lively, spunky, free spirit. She's just dancing to the choir during conference. Love it girl!

We decided to pitcth our tent with the door to the prophet. The kids enjoyed watching from inside and of course sleeping in it. Little Eli, requested his 1st place trophee to be placed by his pillow. He slept with it. How cute you are


Lucy and Ezra set up a scrumptious little party. Sauerkraut, turbinado sugar, and water. These two have the most fun together. Their games are so magical and I wonder at what age I forgot how to play makebelieve. Mack's hand seems good to me.

Way to GO Eli!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV_EodHlgfA Above is a link to a youtube video of Eli wrestling at a tournament on April 2ND. He did not want to go because the tournament last week made him so nervous. But because he didn't want to disappoint his grandpas and Uncle Reed, he went and did great. DISCLAIMER: The video contains more that is necessary due to the fact that I cant edit the video. Also this was filmed by an excited father who was watching Eli directly and not paying attention to the camera..
