Halloween 2008

It's A Boy!!! Wil is here!

Hello everyone,

Cassie and I just welcomed a new son to our family. His name is William Thomas Miller and he was born at 7:56 AM at Tucson Medical Center. We’re so excited to have him in our family!!! He weighs 8 pounds 1 oz and is 19 ¾ inches long. Both Mom and baby are doing great and everything went well!!! It’s hard to see but he has reddish hair like his sister Maddy. Attached are a few pictures.

GIRLS TRIP 2008

Ladies, I know you've all been anxiously awaiting our Vegas pictures, so here ya go! Thanks Heather for all your hard work at planning this trip. I know everyone had a fabulous time. I for one can say that I am still "FULL" from all the delicious food we ate. YUMMY! Tristen and Heather, much thanks for getting our rooms comped. What a great surprise to end the trip! Remember, what happened in Vegas, stays in Vegas!!!!!!!!! Ha, Ha!

Two Little Redheads

I think these two could get into some serious mischief if left unattended. I just can't get over how much they look alike, hmmmm, could it be their hair color? Noah and Maddy had fun playing together when Brian and Cassie were up last week. It was great to see them!

Popping a Glove at 10 thousand frames per second

At work today we were using a fast camera and decided to have some fun and see what popping a glove looked like at 10 thousand frames per second. - Brian

Europe

Hey everyone Nicole and I just got back from Europe. We went to France and Italy. We had quite the adventure figuring out the international airports but once we got there we had so much fun!!! Here are some of our pictures. Love you all!

Dad and Mom Think Dice Game Too Slow

After quickly reaching 10,000 points Mom and Dad waited and waited for the others to finally reach the magic number. Brett was the slowest, as can be seen in the attached picture.

Our Star Spangled Fourth

The Miller cousins

Payton, Ainslee, and Noah cooling off with the hose!

Tristen lost at the dice game and had to eat a cupcake without using her hands. Not a bad consequence, eh? Better than cat food, baby formula, or a chewy piece of lard. Yuck! I think we were all a little too easy on Tris!

The aftermath of the cupcake. Tris was a little slow at eating her cupcake, so Tyson shoved her face into it. It all went down from there. From cupcake throwing to poor Taylor getting hit on the head by a water pitcher. This picture says everything, need I say more.

We all had so much fun playing our usual Miller games that we play when we get together, I think this one is Mafia.

Ainslee and Noah going for a little stroll hand in hand in Grandma and Grandpa's yard.

Thanks Mom and Dad for putting up with a full house! We LOVE you!

Enjoying the Rexburg Fourth of July Parade

Here are just a few of many pictures taken at the parade. The kids had a great time chasing after the candy and loading their bags FULL! Dan and Tristen aka"The BIG KIDS" were right up in front with the little kids getting candy and tossing it back to the parents to enjoy, since we were all to lazy to get out of our comfy chairs. All of the kids did pretty well and all were on a sugar high by the end of the day. The parade had its usual horses, dancers, cheerleaders, tractors, bands, floats, and everything else you can think of, except the CHOCOLATE MILK. Darn those gas prices! All in all everyone had a great time!

Graduation

Sorry everyone this is a little late but here is Nicole's graduation!!

Backpacking trip

Hey everyone this is the Latham/Smith backpacking trip. All the girls and our dad's went on a 12 mile backpacking trip at Lassen Volcanic Park while the mom's went to Calistoga for a spa weekend.

Maddy's Matching Shoes

Happy 4th Everyone!

Here's a cute picture of Maddy showing off her matching skills with her two favorite shoes.

Grandpa Miller Mission Journal

Hi All,

I recently finished scanning Grandpa Miller's mission journal. I've put the PDF file up on the millerfamilytree.com website. I've also got it available if you want to order it as a professional style hardback book at blurb.com or click on the picture.

It's A Boy!

Cassie and I found out this week that we're having a baby boy! The 1st ultrasound pic tells us we've got a boy...can you tell? The 2nd is a head shot...nice skull. Maddy is excited to have a baby brother. She keeps on telling us how the baby in her tummy is doing. So, I guess this makes grandchild number 20. I heard a rumor that the 20th grandchild gets 20 dollars from everybody. We will be accepting cash, check, or PayPal. :)

We can't wait to go to Bear World

This was a couple summers ago...Janelle got attckedby the bear...Her nubs are working just greatly!!! haha j/k

Dan can't wait to go to bear world this year!!!

Maybe on the 4th of July?????

Back from Ireland

Hi All,

Cassie and I got back from Ireland yesterday and now it feels weird to drive on the right hand side of the road. Watch out cars! We had a great time and enjoyed all the green scenery!!! It took me a couple of days to get used to driving on the left hand side of the road (fortunately Cassie was there to scream if I got on the wrong side of the road) but driving it wasn't too bad after a few days, and we ended up driving over 1,000 miles around the country. Here are a couple of pictures... the first couple of images are of Trimm castle (on Braveheart) and the other is of the Cliffs of Moher and Cliffs of Inishmore.

Grandma going to Las Vegas as Show Girl

Look at grandma!! Looks like she's going to LAS VEGAS!!! She's at my house having a so called party that Samantha planned!!

Pointwork Is VERY Hard!!

This is Natalie in our house doing some pointwork dancing. She started in January and has increased her skill a ton!! Hope you like it ,but it is a little blurry. Natalie Also does Jazz, Lyrical, Pointe, and Ballet.

WOW, Look At Her Go!

This is Noelle doing a high jump competition in the Sierra Foothill League Championship held at Rocklin High School. She jumped 5feet and her highest she has jumped is between 5 foot 3 - 5 foot 4. She got second place overall and she advances to the section Div.ll. She then made it to masters, which is for people that are really good in the Sacramento area. Good job, Noelle!!!!

4.0 GPA Through Entire Year!

This is Natalie getting an award for getting a 4.0 GPA through the entire year!!

We have puppies!

Mitsie had her first litter of pups on May 14th. It was a long night but worth it. She had her first one around 1:30 in the morning and finished up with the last one at 7:00 A.M.

She had three baby girls. They are just starting to open their eyes. They're becoming little chubs. :) The girls love to cuddle with them as much as they can. Can you blame them?

Mitsie is a very good Mommy. They keep her very busy. We'll have them up on the 4th of July, so be ready Brett and Heather for Taylor asking to take one home. hee hee They do make great pets, and they don't SHED!

We've made it to Disneyland

Here's some pictures of our trip to Disneyland. We took over 300 pictures and thought I better not post them all. :)  Your welcome!  The girls loved getting their pictures taken with as many characters as they could.  The princesses were their favorite of course.  McKenzie thought she was going to get stuck in Pooh Bear's honey and the cars in Toontown were fun to climb on.  All the rides were fun but we think Screamer and Soaring Over California were the best.  We all had a blast, even Jeff. :)
