This post is long over due. It was a long trip so it will be a long post. But if you like pictures, there are plenty. We decided to escape the snowy mountains and join all the other "Snowbirds" for some warmth and sun. We had a little sun and not much warmth. Dustin had a race in Arizona so the kids and I followed to watch the race and then continue on to Phoenix for a little R&R and family fun. 
Dustin's 2nd love. At least I hope myself and the kids are tied for 1st :)
Dane and Nick watching the race. This lasted until it started raining cats and dogs and never stopped.
Check out that booger! 
The race was great until the transmission blew up 100 miles from the finish. Bummer! And they were in the top three up until then.
After the race we drove to Phoenix for family fun and to play with our friends Nick and Steph and little Chase. We also visited my Grandma Rose and Richard for a couple of hours. It was good to see them. My camera battery had died so no pictures with them. We had a great time, going to the Phoenix Zoo, the Children's Museum, and just relaxing and being together. I was amazed at how well everyone got along during our 11 days.

Dane was so proud of himself for making it to the top.
Dane and Ian at the Phoenix Children's Museum. If you ever make it to AZ with kids you definately need to check this place out. We stayed for 4 hours and never ran out of things to do. This is the only cute picture of the boys from there. I couldn't get them to sit still long enough for a picture.
Two silly boys. I swear they got along so well and had so much fun together. It made me look forward to more family vacations.
On our way home from Arizona we stopped for a night in St. George. Uncle Matty, Auntie Jen and cousins were there for Izzy's soccer tournament. We were able to watch a game and have a delicious Valentine's Day dinner with them. We also, visited my cousin Hannah and Josh who live there and my other cousin Jason and Robin and kids who were visiting from Wyoming. I didn't get a picture though. 
For Christmas my sister got me a digital frame. This is the best gift and I suggest everyone get one. It sits on the kitchen counter and scrolls through hundreds of pictures. Ian loves to push the stool over and watch the pictures. Every 5 seconds you hear him say "Mama", or "Daddy" or "Abbey" as each person is shown. He even eats his breakfast, lunch and snacks there, too. Now if he would only sit there long enough for me to get a massage.
.... Dry Guy boot and glove dryer. This this has been a lifesaver for Dane's wet boots and gloves. Everyday he comes home from school with soaking wet outdoor wear and in under 2 hours everything is bone dry and ready for the next adventure. This is a definate must have if it is winter and you have kids.

On your mark, get set, GO!
What a cute family!
The 80's called, they want their clothes back!
I love this picture of Dane and Ian.I know you have all been checking your Google Readers everyday and wondering why I haven't posted in Forever! I know you are DYING to know what the Miller's have been up to, right? Well, I have not been able to post because starting in mid-December my camera battery has been dead and I still have not been able to find my battery charger. Now, to make matters worse, the power has been off at my house for ours on end and now our DSL is out too! The power and DSL have been rumored to be back in working order somewhere between 2 hours and 10 days. Thanks Rocky Mtn Power!
