Truckin!

One of Lizzi's favorite things to do is go in the hay truck with Davey. As Rylie has gotten older he goes less and Lizzi goes more and more! One of her favorite things when she goes is to take pictures on her cell phone and send them to me throughout the day with updates! Her and Davey took these pics on one of the big snow days last week on top of the pass!

To Mexico We Will Go...

On Saturday the 3rd Davey and I are leaving for Cancun! This is where we are going to stay! Hopefully this is what it really looks like??!! We'll post photos when we get back so we can compare! I am excited but always nervous to fly and to leave the kids!

Lizzi

Lizzi has been taking piano lessons for almost two years now! We really hope that she enjoys playing as much as we enjoy her playing! LOL She has excelled so much in the last 6 months that it is amazing! She likes to write her own music and play the same ones over and over and over......LOL We got her a keyboard for Christmas so now she can practice in her bedroom! In these pictures she was part of a Ribbon Festival in Moses. She had ten different stations that she went to that included playing pieces and listening to notes and then telling what they were-for everything she completed she got a ribbon! She had so much fun we hope to get to go every year!

Christmas Photos

This time of year I always make the kids whine with just two words: Picture Day! Every year they know Christmas photo day will come and every year they still moan about! You'd think at 13 (almost 14!) and 10 they would be used to it by now! LOL Lizzi actually let me take way more pictures then I ever imagined and we ended up having a fun time! Thanks guys! These are just a few of my faves...guess we'll just have to see which ones make the card!

Shane and Tina

Every year on this week I feel a great sadness, and I know I'm not the only one. This year is 7 years since Shane and Tina passed away. They are greatly missed everyday. Sometimes it feels like only yesterday and sometimes it feels like it has been much longer. Death is very hard to accept but I find that remembering helps. I like to remember the good times, and also the way a community came together to help a family in their time of sorrow. So even though we are all saddened by such a huge loss I hope that we can all find comfort knowing that we have had the opportunity to know and love two amazing people.

I found this poem online and thought it portrayed exactly how I feel:



If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane.
I would walk right up to heaven,
To bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.

My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

You and angels around Gods happy throne.
I would have held you closer if I had known.

Rylie's First Love!

Motorcycles are Rylie's first love! He has rode since, well I think since he could walk! He just told me last night since he had such a busy summer working on the farm he didn't get to do much with his friends and thought we should plan a motorcycle ride for this weekend! Sometimes when he gets off the bus he will go out and ride even if it is only for 10 minutes because he misses it so much when he doesn't have time! He has moved up to a race bike YIKES! He's had a couple spills but has always managed to be safe! Pray for us! In these pictures he was riding with Dan, Ty, and Colin at Matt Larson's track-Thanks for the photos Michelle! He would go to the track every weekend if he could!

Football!

Rylie's favorite time of the year has started-Football! He always has so much fun and tries so hard! He is one of the smallest kids on the team but what he lacks in size he makes up for in heart! This was their first game and they won 52-0! Rylie had two amazing tackles! It is so fun to watch and I hate to admit but as I'm watching I turn into one of "those" sports moms-you know the one I'm talking about! It's so hard not too! LOL! It is a great team and they all work really hard and work really well as a team, I have a feeling they will be really fun to watch through the next couple years!

Well have joined the world of boat owners and this was our first trip out! We had so much fun! Rylie and I even went for a tube ride! Even Daisy dog joined in on the fun! As you can see Rylie and Liz had fun making faces of fear! We hope to get to go out at least a few more times this year but the weather is already getting cooler!

Back to School

First day of school! Yea! Lizzi was so excited all night that she barely even slept! When she got off the bus she was asleep within 10 minutes! Don't you wish we could be that excited to go to work everyday?!


I can't believe Rylie is in the 8th grade this year! Next year I will have a High School Student! Where did all that time go? Somedays I feel so young and somedays I feel so old! LOL The only thing Rylie really looks forward to about school is Football!

A Day at the Lake?

We attempted a day at the lake but...wound up going swimming at Potters Pool! The boat wouldn't start but we were determined not to let it ruin our day! The kids still had as much fun and even Daisy Dog got in the action chasing cats and birds in the trees!

Can anyone say sexy? I'm usually not the drolling all over the singer type but.....We were close enough that I could almost smell him I know it! LOL Not only was he good looking but he sounded amazing! Even the kids enjoyed it!

Fair and Concert!

This year we didn't make it to the Moses Lake Fair but we did go the Benton Franklin Fair in Pasco! We had such a great time! The kids enjoyed doing the bunjee jumping! We also got to go see one of my favorite singers Gary Allan!

15 YEARS?!!!

I can't believe it's been 15 years ago that we got married! And 20 years ago that we started dating! Wow where does the time go? We've certainly had our ups and downs but I take pride in the fact that we can always work it out! Even some of the toughest times have brought us even closer together and I think have made us better people.

Old Photos

I love to look at old photos! They bring back such great memories and feelings! These are some of my favorites from Hawaii last November.

Welcome to the world of The Millers! I have really enjoyed viewing every ones blogs and wanted to join the fun! I hope you enjoy mine as much as I have enjoyed all of yours!

This is Lizzi with our dog Daisy! Lizzi is so funny, smart, and she really like to argue! She very artistic and definitely a daddy's girl! She just turned ten last month and I can't believe it!

This my guy Rylie. I know I'm his mom but I think he's amazing! He is smart, funny, and a very hard worker. He can run any type of farm equipment and even fix some of them! Listen to me brag!!! I could not have asked for a better son!
