Miller Time: July 2010

On a beautiful sunny, summer day our family, the Dawson's, and Don, Courtney and Brittney went for a fun pre-runner ride. We drove from 5 Mile (by Eagle Mountain) to Delta Utah taking the back roads. Round trip was 200 miles and our top speed was 115 mph! Can you believe it?! When we hit top speed it was on a long, straight and fairly smooth dirt road and the kids were asleep in the back seat. The ride was so smooth and didn't feel that fast! The kids really enjoyed the ride out and back except for the grasshoppers that flew in through the windows and the open holes in the floor. Dane was hysterical! It was pretty gross but I didn't want to freak out and have Dane freak out even worse.

We stopped for lunch in Delta and then went to Stephanie Dawson's parents house to play in their huge back yard before heading back to the trailers.

On July 20th I became the mom of a 7 year-old! I can't believe my baby boy is that old already! Dane asked me the other day why parent's don't want their kids to get older. I said it is because if you are getting older then that means I am getting older too and I still feel like I am 20!

Dane wanted to have a skate park birthday party this year. I must say it was the easiest and most fun party I have ever thrown. I loved making the invite. I just took this picture in the driveway and then embellished it using picnik.com. It was so easy and so much fun!

Since the party was from 10:00 to 12:00 in the morning I just provided healthy snacks. There were apples, carrots, grapes, peanut butter, pretzels, granola bars. We did have a pinata with candy so I figured that was enough sugar and didn't even have a cake.
