NIght Crawlers & A Night Owl!

At this house, bed time is early. Taylor and I both get up by 4:30 & 5...so by the time 9:00 rolls around my eyes are done!!! Which works pretty well...EXCEPT for one little girl, that does not like to go to bed early. In fact her second wind usually kicks in around 8:45 at night......and it is killing me. Seriously, she will stay up till 11:30 some times and there is no winding her down, she is usually just running circles around me and Taylor while we are trying to keep one eye open!!!

So Taylor put her to work and hunted night crawlers with her at 10:15 the other night...Tate and him were going fishing the next day, but both boys were asleep long before prime night crawler hunting!! I DO NOT like worms.....AT ALL....so she is a lot tougher than me. I guess that is what happens with 2 brothers....she loved it...it did wear her out a little and I think we got to bed before 11 that night!!!




This is how dark it was with no flash!!!!


They were planning a sneak attack on a big bertha...she thought it was hilarious..she was all but army crawling!!

And she is not afraid of no stinking worm.....!!!!!!! Tate was quite happy with the coffee can full of worms when he woke up the next morning!!

Mr. Whit!

I don't know how many mile this rocking horse has been pulled around our house with a rope...but it is A LOT! Whit is the most love able..mischievous little man ever...but I love this face! No shirt...no shoes.....NO PROBLEM....he is still a cowboy!

Christmas List!

Tate gave me a heads up on his Christmas list last weekend.

Tate: "Mom I am going to ask Santa for a Guitar.... a microphone...and an IPad"!!!!! ( His cousins had one they were playing on......at an expert level no less!!!)

Mom: " Good luck with that Buddy!!!"

Holy crap....what happened to G.I. Joe people!!!!

The Cabin!!

We were lucky enough to have Heath & Steph invite us up to Stephanie's families cabin, up Fairview Canyon this weekend. It was so much fun. GG & Grandpa came with us, and we played explored , rode this awesome zip line,relaxed and ATE!!!! We ate some of the yummiest food all weekend, from goodies, and treats, to Heath's famous Chili Verde.......DELICIOUS!!!! It really is times like these, when you don't have the everyday life distraction's, that you realize how good you have it and how much close family means!!! Thank you so much Heath & Steph, and the boys for taking us, and sharing your little slice of heaven... we love you and had soooo much fun!!!!




The Miller Cabin...


This is his "Man From Snowy River"Pose!!!

These two little monsters were a blast....they were DIRTY!!!! but they loved it. Whit wants to be big so bad so he can go hang with the big boys....and Reese already thinks she is...and bosses them around to get what he wants!!!

I wish we had Heath in this picture. I think it is so cute..... Thanks Tanner and Carson for being such awesome cousins!!!

Tate thought he was " Survivor Man" all weekend....he climbed and gathered, and explored until he wore himself out. I love it when he cuts loose and just loves being a boy!!

Although....the zip line he wasn't so sure about. But he did it and was very brave!!

It was so much fun...this zip line went for a long ways though the forest...you just had to bail of this platform and away you went,dodging tree's the whole time!! I loved it!

Whit even got in on the zip line action..and he wanted to do it again.... Reese didn't get to do it this time...no one thought they could hold on to her and keep her from falling though the harness!! Good Job Whit!

I love being able to hang with family..I mean what do you have if you don't have your family??? We are so lucky that we have GG & Grandpa and that they want to hang out with us so much... we love you guys and wouldn't have it any other way!!

I think this might be my new favorite picture!!
