fishy times in New Bern NC

Today's adventure started with a bike ride to the next neighborhood over from our house. We saw a tiny pond where five nice white ducks live. The twins wanted to feed them so we biked all the way home then back to the pond. We TRIED to feed the duck but soon discovered that there are many many small fish that live in this pond, and they were eating all the bread.The girls got out there handy dandy beach nets and caught at least twenty fish.I only let the girls take three home.I hope they make it.

Cookie Poker

Our family loves poker night.When we have Poker night its with cookies,not poker chips.Troy taught our girl how to play poker with chips and they loved it.They did not mind taking a chance with the chips because what the hey, it's just pretend money. When we play with chocolate chip cookies and nutter butters, it's a different story. It can get a little crazy. Gabbie won last night with the ending 30 chocolate chip cookies and 4 nutter butters with Madison in second place.

Beach day!

15 I meant 14 years of marriage:)

Troy and I celebrated fourteen years of marriage today.Wow, I feel like that is a huge accomplishment in this day and age. I'd say that its been fourteen blissful years of marriage but we've been through so much. We made it through the death of our first baby-Jacob.We made it through a house fire when all we had left was the clothes on our back and the kitchen table. We made it through these last few years of him going to college and working a job several brain cells below his I.Q.just to be able to make it through. When we first were married we had to wait several months for military housing, we lived in some friend's walk in closet.(true story)

Anyways, I know all these things happen for a reason it makes me stronger.I feel so blessed to have my family, to love them and be loved. Tonight my three wonderful girls made us dinner while we went to a movie. They dressed up and severed us. We had Rosemary and Lemon chicken, salad and strawberry shortcake. I think this was the best Anniversary yet!

also-I accidently posted on facebook that we were married 15 years then Troy had to remind me that its only 14.geesh what's with me and numbers?

4th of July, 2010

We Millers had a fun and busy fourth of July Weekend.

On Friday our friend Anaya can over to hang out with us and we made tye-dye shirts.(Gabbie is wearing one in the picture) That was a lot of fun and now my girls want to make even more tye-dye shirts. My parents had a cook out which was fun. My favorite part was watching my little two year old neice learn to slide on her belly for the first time on a slip and slide.My brother, also her daddy, tossed her across it a few times to show her how it's done. Today we went to church and the missiionaries are coming over to eat left overs from yesterdays cook out. The girls are all gussied up for tonights air show and fire works with their red, white and blue.They even picked threw all the hundreds of silly bands for all the red and blues to match their outfits.So fun my girls!

Happy Fourth of July!
