Tess' first day of preschool 2011

I had such a hard time deciding which preschool to put Tess in.  She loved her teacher Janice last year but I really wanted to try something different for this year.  I finally decided on a new school and broke up with Janice.  Janice if you ever happen to stumble upon this post I just want to say Tess and I love you and "it's not you it's me."

Her poses sometimes... I mean seriously

Shae getting excited to have Tess' room all to herself

Uncle Marvin's Funeral

My dad's sister Carol with my sister Lisa

 My father's only brother Marvin Miller passed away a few weeks ago.  He was a great support to our family when my father died.  He loved my father unconditionally.

Willow Park Zoo 2011

Willow Park Zoo is this awesome little zoo that has the "honor system" payment method.  It's not too long and not too short.  Just right for little ones to be entertained without getting bored.  We went this summer with Nat's sister Mary's little girl Vanessa and Nat's brother Jon's little ones Aydan and Amelia. 

Fun with cousins!

Millville Parade

Tess and Shae got to dress up like princesses and ride in the back of our neighbors truck in the Millville parade with all their neighborhood friends. Didn't get a picture of the whole crew dang it!

















































Sadly this is a normal occurrence

Summer Fest 2011

My mother, sister and I have been going to Logan's Summerfest for about the past 10 or more years. It's kind of like Swiss Days but way better! It has less crafts and the art is way better. We usually always go home with a painting or a piece of pottery.

Cache Valley Tri

Against my better judgement I'm posting this glamor shot of me and my friends Rachel and Brian Child.

We did the Cache Valley Tri. I think it was in June. They did the Olympic distance and I did the sprint. It was a ton of fun. The water was an astounding 58 degrees!
