Visitors

Brandt's Sister and her girls came to visit!  We had a wonderful time.

We loved showing them Ohio-

This was Carriage Hill

(My kids were in school on this day.)

My kids loved having their cousins here to visit!!  They had so much fun!

We shot off bottle rockets.  Uncle Brandt was excited to show off and try to be the favorite!

Cousin Jill and Brynn had matching skeleton jammies.

After their visit my kids wanted skeleton jammies!!

Cousin Sidney was so much help around the house and with the baby!!  Loved having her around and so did all my kids including baby Brynn!  :)

We went hiking at John Bryan Park.

And then headed to Young's Dairy for ice cream, to visit the pumpkin patch, petting zoo, and then went miniature golfing!

We also enjoyed hanging out!  The girls wanted to make something fun so we did tie dye cookies.

The girls brought the stuff to make these popular rubber band bracelets and had a blast!!!  They taught my kids how to make them and made lots of them!!

They even made them for the baby!!!

Of course we know that they came mostly to see her!!  And it was wonderful to have Aunt Candacy and to have all of her help with this fussy baby- I even got some sleep!!

We had so much fun and we were so sad when they left.  Never enough time to spend with family!!

We love these girls!!!!

I loved how much Leah loved being with Uncle Brandt- they were buddies!!

It was a Wonderful visit and went by so fast!!  Can't wait to go visit them in Arizona sometime!!!

Photo Shoot

A good friend took these incredible photos of Brynn.  Love them!!

The kids were at school so we will have to do another photo shoot that includes them!

But, was excited to get these taken!!

Now I just need to get the announcements mailed!!!!

Brynn Leigh's Blessing

Brynn Leigh Miller

was blessed on September 29, 2013

Blessed by her Dad, Gerald Brandt Miller

Blessing Dress was made by her Aunt Becky

Brynn Leigh-

You have been born to a family who loves you and is so excited to have you!  You have two wonderful older siblings that want to protect you, be good examples for you, and love you so much!!!  You have two parents that worry about you, want to teach and guide you, and love you so much!!!

You also have grandparents, aunts & uncles, and many cousins that love you!

So thankful for the family that were able to come to the blessing, and missed the family that couldn't be there.

We are blessed to have the priesthood in our home and have family that also have the priesthood. 

We were thankful for Uncle Matt and Uncle Rees who came and participated in the blessing as well as Skipper.  We also had our home teachers- JJ Futey, Travis Barlow and our good friends Sean Holley and Jeff Brown.

We are so thankful to be a family- Forever!!!

And you are surrounded by cousins that will be good friends and great examples to you!!

You have a big sister that loves you and is someone you can aspire to be like.

More random baby pics...

I can not believe she is a month old already!!!

I love how her eyes are open now a lot more and she is looking around at everything.

She is so cute- don't know what she was watching, but it sure entertained her for awhile!

She often looks devious and like she is plotting against us.  Well, she has taken over this household and has all of us under her spell!!!!!!!!!

I convinced Brandt (somehow) that painted piggies on baby girls are a must!!  Especially before they are blessed.  Girls gotta get pretty before a big day!!!  He was dissapointed on her blessing day when she wore tights and shoes.  :)

She slept while I conspired against her!!!

I love pretty painted piggy toes!!!

Cub Scouts

Peyton earned his Bobcat rank!  We are very excited at his enthusiasm for cub scouts.

The tradition is to pin the new rank on upside down -- and it doesn't get turned right side up until the scout does a good "turn" (deed) for the day.

Peyton puts the mother's pin for Bobcat on me.  He didn't even stab me once.

They did a bottle rocket launch after the Pack Meeting.

Brandt helped out with the rocket launch using his birthday present (the rocket launcher seen here).

Peyton had a great night with his really cool rocket!!!
