Mustard Boy
To say that Miles likes mustard would be the understatement of the year. That boy just can't get enough. He dips EVERYTHING in it, and once even drank it out of a straw(I like mustard too, but that's just going to far!). He loves to dip his fingers in piles of mustard on his plate, then lick his fingers. Jordan's mom caught this perfect shot of Miles and his mustard obsession.

I'm on the PHONE!
Today I went to Target with Miles and Vance. We were walking along doing our shopping when Miles says, "Oh, my phone is ringing." So he stops and pulls a toy cell phone that he had brought from home out of his pants pocket. "Hello?" he says, then a pause, then "I'm doing great." Then he looks at me very sternly and says, "Quiet! I'm on the phone!" So sorry.
So as we continue to walk around he keeps having a conversation with someone on his phone. When he concluded this conversation, he informed me that he was talking to Dallin(Tew, one of his fellow Sunbeams.).
About three minutes later he informs me his phone is ringing again. So he digs it out of his pocket and answers, "Hello, this is Miles Miller." It now sounds like he is conductiong very important business in the middle of Target! But a minute later it didn't sound so business like, because he kept telling whoever he was chatting with that he loved them. Is there anything he needs to tell me???

Time Out For Women
This last weekend I had the awesome experience of attending a conference called Time Out for Women. It is held by Deseret Book for LDS women. It was a great chance to get away and have some girl time! This event was held in Chicago, and a bunch(about 16 of us) of ladies from the ward were able to go. I had never been to Chicago before, so I was really excited to see that. The conference was held by the O'Hare Airport, which is about 10 minutes away from the city.
They had some really amazing speakers and musicians at TOFW. Some of the speakers were: Elia Gourgouris- He is a relationship specialist, and a nationally known speaker. I really enjoyed
his talk. And I enjoyed his Greek accent!
Chieko Okazaki- She served in the as a counselor in the Relief Society Presidency. I think she is
in her 80's. She was so cute! She was such a fun speaker.
Merrilee Boyack
Carolyn Rasmus
Dean Hughes- He's written many popular LDS books
Camille Fronk Olson
Jane Clayson Johnson-She used to be an anchor on The CBS Early show, and worked for ABC.
The musical performers were Cherie Call, Hillary Weeks, and Michael McLean. They were all amazing. Especially Michael McLean(see next post.).
This was such a good chance to get to now some of the ladies from the ward. I really had fun with them. The best part was staying up late to play games. (Only until Midnight thought. Funny how that's really late to me now! What an old lady I'm becoming! We did have to get up a six in the morning though). Most of us went to a place called Smoque in Chicago for dinner. Jordan would never forgive me if I went to Chicago and didn't go there! He saw a special about this place on the Food Network, and has been dying to go there. So, I went for him. :) They serve barbecue, and it was fantastic! Thanks to all the ladies for putting up with the chaos it took to actually get there!

Me and Chieko Okazaki-She was so cute! I wish I could have taken her home with me!
Michael McLean Performance
My favorite part of the TOFW exerpience was Michael McLean. He is an LDS singer/songwriter. I always thought that he was a very serious, kind of somber artist. But, I was very wrong. He was so funny! He was a very good at connecting with the audience, and making us laugh. But he was also able to turn things around at one point, and it became an emotional experience as well. He's been a popular LDS songwriter for 25 years, and it amazes me how someone can still come up with new material after all that time!

The Twilight Series
I have been meaning to make this post for a long time, and now I am finally getting around to it.
If you have not heard about the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, you MUST check them out! They are fantastic. And completetly addictive. They have got most of my friends from ward hooked. And, my mom is really enjoying them too.
As you can see from the countdown on the left, the newest book of the series comes out in August. And the first movie is going to be released in December. Hmmmm, if only I could fast foward time. :)

Our Newest Backyard Visitor
One of my favorite features of our house is the woods behind our yard. And because of those woods, we get visited by all sorts of different creatures. Tons of squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs(We had one that lived under our shed for a long time. His name was Bob. For a while he had a companion, whom we named Wendy. Anyone with kids will probably get the connection to those names.) Last year, and last year only, we had deer.
Our newest visitor that Miles discovered on Sunday was a turkey. He was right up by the house, and we could tell he'd been on the back patio because there were turkey prints in the snow. I guess our neighbor put out some bird seed, which attracted our new friend to the neighborhood. We decided that he needed a name, so from now on he will be known as Sam. Sam Sandwich. Because we think he would be delicious! We haven't seen Sam today, but hope he will be a regular visitor to the area. Don't worry, even though Sam probably is delicious, no harm will come to him.
