Hello loved ones! Remember me? I know you all have been stalking me because I get your hate mail asking me why I haven't been updating. I could lie and tell you the dog ate my camera but the honest truth is I lost interest. Now, 2008 is approaching and I have made my new year's resolution list. Keeping up the blog is right after eat less and exercise more. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Have a happy new year. Check back for Miller Time updates.
Costa Rica
I know everyone is just waiting on pins and needles to see the pictures from our adventures in paradise. I can't wait myself. We have had a great time in Costa Rica, despite a lot of rain. The sun did come out occasionally and Rosie and I were able to sun ourselves on the beach for a couple of hours. But just like any good vacation it will be nice to be home again. I can't wait to wrap my arms around my darlings boys and give them lots of kisses. I even miss my dogs. Now you know I am crazy and homesick. Check back for the picts.
Weekend Fun
Dustin and I celebrated our 29th birthdays this weekend. We are 6 days apart. We had dinner at Sun & Moon cafe which is always interesting (those of you who frequent the place will understand why). Thanks to Buddy for giving us such wonderful gifts. I booted Dustin out of the bed last night so I could sleep with Fabio. He slept in the garage with the filly.
I don't have a picture for it yet because I am a bad wife. But Saturday Dustin raced in his first Cross race. It is like a mountin bike race only the bikes are a cross btwn mountain and road. Our friend Bart races and taught Dustin a few tricks for his first race. Dust did a great job. Friends Vic and Scotty J came out to race as well. Bart was maybe more proud that I because he is the one that took all the pictures. Check out the Bart Gillespie link on my page to see one.

Dustin's mom got the surprise of her life on Saturday. Click on the picture to enlarge it and see how happy she looks. Her ex-husband (yes, I said ex) surprised her with this adorable orange Porsche Boxter. There were only 250 made and only 2 in Utah. For those of you who know the Miller Family dynamics this isn't so bizarre for Bob to buy this for his ex-wife. For those of you who can't comprehend it just know that Bob and Janene have a wonderful relationship and both are very happly married to wonderful people. In fact Bob's wife, Carol, has the identical car. How funny that the only 2 people who have been married to Bob have the only two orange Porches in Utah.
Dane got to spend Saturday night at Grandpa Bob and Carol's house with his cousin Jackson and the Miller Paving office cat Porsche. Oh what fun they had. Then, Porsche got to come to our house to spend the night on Sunday. We sure had fun playing with her. She is such a tolerant cat. Dane just packs her around with him and teases her. I think the teasing bothered Dustin and myself more than the cat. As I type this she is attacking my fingers. She sure is a curious thing. The dogs got a glimpse of her and I could tell they didn't want to be friends. So we were very careful to keep them seperate.
Emigration Oaks Halloween Party
I just want to blog really quick about our first ever Emigration Oaks Halloween Party. We have the funnest neighborhood ever!! About 50 people came out to enjoy the wagon ride trick-or-treating and delicious food. The kids looked so cute in their costumes. Rosie and Bart took all the pictures so when I get them I will set up a slide show. Happy Halloween!
Three Weeks In Review
Well, the last time I blogged was the first day of our family vacation in Cali. Since then I have been way to busy to do anything but get through the day and fall into bed exhausted. It has been a fun few weeks though and I will attempt to share it with you now in my Three Weeks in Review...
This picture is from the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point. We met a bunch of friends there. The kids had a great time playing on all the jumping things and getting their faces painted. I love that Cannon S. has his finger up his nose. Too funny.
My youngest bro Cannon left for his mission last week. I was lucky enough to host the whole fam for a week while we got Cannon ready to go. I loved having a full house and many hands to help with kids. While he wrote and re-wrote his talk, one hundred times, the rest of us planned his farewell party. Thanks to Kathy Kjar for hosting all of our friends and family for this special day. Here is Cannon sitting next to his Halloween missionary. I am very excited for Cannon to embark on this amazing adventure. I know he will be a great missionary and grow immensly. The boys and I, however, will be lonely. Cannon has been living with us for the last couple of months and it has been a lot of fun. He has also been my dog walker and it has been really nice not having to worry about the dogs. We will miss you.
Here are the boys is full costume at Buddy and Angie's Halloween Party. We had a great time. It is so fun to see what costumes people will come up with. That party was Friday night and Saturday night I got to go out with some girlfrieds for dinner and to see Thriller. It was a great show and a very fun night out. Thanks Natalie for putting it together.
So Cal Vaca!
Our family trip to southern California was awesome. The weather was great and so was the company. It was so fun to be together as a family. We always have a great time together. Dane loved that he had his grandma's undivided attention. One day we asked him what he wanted to do thinking he would want to go to the beach or something but instead he said, "I just want to stay home with my grandma and do nothing". My parents went all out for this trip. We did family pictures, took surfing lessons, went to a San Diego Chargers football game, and a kayaking adventure. Thanks mom and dad for the wonderful trip. We love you! Slide show to come when I get all the other pictures from my siblings.
