A future Mrs. Miller?

My friend Natalie posted this on her blog, but I thought I'd post it so different groups of friends could see it too!

Miles told me recently that he is going to marry this cute little girl seen with him in the picture. Her name is Amber. When I told Amber's mom(Natalie)about this, she thought it was a great idea! Amber just moved to Utah, so they are going to have to keep up a long distant relationship for the next 18 years or so. I hope to use this photo on their wedding invitations!(Along with an updated picture, of course.)
I hope Amber likes kids. Miles wants 10 of them.

Updated family pictures

Utah here I come!

Hurray! I found out this week that I get to go to my 10 year high school reunion. And, I get to go... with NO KIDS! I get to go on an airplane by myself! I'll be there the 1st through the 3rd. Not long, but I am still so excited! And, to make it even better, Breaking Dawn comes out that Saturday, so I will have some nice uninterrupted reading time! (Go team Edward!)

Memory Game

I found this on my cousin Tovi's blog, and I thought I'd give it a try.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Since this is our family blog, feel free to leave a memory about any of the five of us.

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Alterbridge!!

Every July, Lansing has a week long music festival called Common Ground. I had never been before this year. This year I found out that one of my favorite bands, Alterbridge, was going to be there, so I had to go! Most people haven't heard of Alterbridge. Do you remember the group Creed? Alterbridge is most of the members of Creed with a new lead singer, Myles Kennedy. He can really wail(Wayne's World reference). Their lead guitarist, Mark Tremonti, is amazing.

My friend Melissa came along with me. We had such a good time!


The first group that we saw was called Fiction Plane(from the UK, they had to remind us every five minutes.) They were okay, but they dropped the f-bomb alot, with drives me nuts. Their claim to fame is that their lead singer is Stings son. Click on the picture. Can you see the resemblance?


Me in front of the stage when Alterbridge came out.


Alterbridge was great, but I feel bad because they had a bad crowd. Most of the people who were there were there to see Snoop Dog, who was the following act. I guess fights kept breaking out in the crowd, (thank goodness not in our little area) and the lead singer had to actually start and stop a song to tell people to stop fighting. Nice. There were some interesting people in the audience. My hope in humanity is shot!

I took several videos, but none of them turned out to well, because we were too close to the stage, and the music was too loud. I'm shocked I can hear okay today. This really short clip was the best I could get. Why I only shot this video for six seconds, I don't know.

Snoop Dogg

After Alterbridge finished playing, Melissa and I retreated away from the stage and back to the safety of our camping chairs. We stayed for Snoop Dogg for about five minutes, just so we could say that we have seen him. The f-bomb was flying like candy at a parade by this point. I did think it was neat that Snoop was wearing an MSU jersey and hat. Represent, yo.

He's at it again!

I love that Jordan has Younker's elevator on his route. He called me the other morning while he was working there, and asked for my shoe size. He also told me a shoe brand that I like was on sale for 60% off. After that, I was expecting him to come home with a pair or two, but I was wrong! Here is a picture of all FIVE pairs of shoes that he purchased for me. I love my husband. :)

The similarity between Miles and Alexander

Have you ever read your kids the book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? Well there's a line in the book that goes like this:
"At counting time she(his teacher) said I left out sixteen. Who needs sixteen?"

This makes me laugh every time we read this book for the following reason:



This happens every time!

Mason's new skateboard

Mason has been telling us for a couple months that he would like a skateboard. I told him that maybe he could get one for his birthday, which didn't please him. Jordan didn't think we should wait that long either, so as a surprise, he took Mason out and they went and picked out a new skateboard and helmet.
Here a some pictures of Mason and the skateboard, and some of our other future skateboarders.
