Our new Jeep!

We traded in our truck for this fun new toy!! Dylan loves it and doesn't even miss his truck! Oh boy, what did I get myself into??

2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited!

We had the chance to go "wheelin" this past week up by the "B" and we went and saw our tree! We carved our names in it almost 2 years ago and it was fun to go back and see it again.





Thanks babe for taking us up there! I love you so much!!

Hogle Zoo

We got invited to go to the zoo with Dylan's engineer Jessie and it was a lot of fun! He has a little girl that is Oakley's age and she's so cute!

We saw the new baby elephant!


And we went on the ferris wheel twice!





Saw the monkeys,




And last but not least... THE TRAIN!



Thanks for the invite Jessie! We had a blast!




Summer time in the Miller home!

Yellowstone!!!




   We went on a little day trip up to Yellowstone and it was a lot of fun! We saw this crazy waterfall...


and we saw Old Faithful of course and got a chance to see some buffalo!




They crossed right in front of us and Dylan just had to stop and take pictures like he's never seen them before haha!
Then came the long ride home..........

Vegas Baby!!!

  Dylan took me to Vegas this last weekend and we had a blast! It was a well needed getaway for me! We drove down Thursday night through the stupid snow but we made it to Vegas safely then off to the strip we went! We just walked around a little bit that night then went back to the hotel. (we stayed at the Sahara) The next day we gambled a little bit and walked around and got CHEAP tickets to the Blue Man Group. If you haven't heard of them they are awesome!  We went to their show that night and ate at a really yummy restaurant. 
  Saturday we went to the mall and just had a lazy day but we did eat at Margaritaville that night and it was sooo good! We woke up Sunday morning, packed and drove back home. It was short and sweet but fun while it lasted!!


We didn't take a whole lot of pictures but here's a few..




Waiting for the show

    Some weird but we cool art piece they had at Blue man. It would spin and it looked like they were dancing!

Oakley and Kane


  These kids are quite the pair! Oakley always tells Kane that its ok and Kane smiles and giggles every time he sees Oakley! They are so funny together! Here is a few snapshots from the other day!


Sledding!

 New Years day Dylan's brother invited us to go sledding with them.  We borrowed some old snow pants from them for Oakley (they were pretty big on her) and we headed to the hill. Oakley looked at the hill, climbed up it with Dylan, and screamed the whole way down haha! She didn't want to go again after that but she still had fun watching all the other kids go!


Better late then never!


So we finally got our card reader back so I can finally post pictures!
  I'll start with New Years!  We went down to Tooele to go hang out with Dylan's brother and we ended up going to Tracks which is a bar/grill place.  Some band was playing that night but I don't remember the name haha! We had a great time!!

What's the point!!

Please tell me what the point of cleaning up toys is? I clean up after Oakley takes a nap and as soon as she wakes up my house is a wreck again! Oh the joys of having a two year old... But I guess the good thing is she's old enough to help me pick and she sings, "clean ump, clean ump, everybody, clean ump" while she helps! Oh I love her!
