Miller Time: August 14-24 Family Reunion in Utah, Family pictures and Ricky's 6th birthday @ Jumpin Jacks

The only thing Ricky wanted for his birthday was duct tape!

These are the best family photo's, at least this is the true character of my family!

We went to dancin' under the Stars at the Scera Shell. Incredible dancing performance! We could tell we were in Utah because we didn't have to smell cigarette smoke the whole time!

Carrie was a lifesaver this whole trip. It is so wonderful to have someone following me around begging to help take care of my baby!

Eliza-isms

7-9-12 I often find things in Rick's wash that shouldn't be there. Last week it was his mp3 player. This week I was chaning the wash and found a cigarette lighter in the dryer. I grabbed it and ran to Ricky yelling "What is a lighter doing in the wash?!" He said "I don't know" I yelled again "what is a lighter doing in the wash" he said again "I don't know" Then I realized it was my wash that I had just taken out of the wash!
7-9-12 Aaramie was watching Vienna outside but needed to go to the restroom. Getting her words mixed up she said "Rick, go to the bathroom." Rick said "What?" Then she realized and said "Rick, watch vienna I need to go to the bathroom"
5-1-12 My girls told the babysitter that it is important to eat healthy so you can do the splits!
10-10-11 I was talking to Rosina and said "Do you know when I first realized I liked green peppers?" and Aaramie cut it "Let me guess, when you found out it was healthy." When did she figure out mom likes anything healthy?
4-6-11 At dinner Eliza says "Ask me if I'm a truck" I say "Are you a truck" Eliza says "Nooooo" then laughs and says "isn't that a funny joke"
11-2-2010 Rosina was cutting Gingerbread girls out of the gingerbread dough and Eliza came up and said "What are you doing?" Rosina said "What does it look like I'm doing?" Eliza replied "Ummm, smashing angels"
7-20-10 Ricky ism . The other day Grandma Wilding asked Ricky to take care of Hyrum. Ricky said "Why don't you ask Aaramie?" Grandma said "Because I trust you more." Ricky gave her a funny look and said "Oh. . . that's weird"
4-30-10 You may or may not know that Ricky has inherited William's coarse hair. I cut his hair yesterday and that evening my toe started hurting. I couldn't figure out what it was. Finally I sat down and looked really close and saw that I had a hair stuck in my toe. I pulled it out and my toe started bleeding! Not to long after my toe started hurting again. I sat down and looked . . . another hair! Watch out for that Miller hair!
4-30-10 We went on a trip to Portland and stopped at a gas station. I took the kids to the potty and my girls were getting the biggest kick out of the automatic soap dispensers and the Turbo automatic hand blowdryer. Eliza would do a really loud cackle each time the blowdryer went on. She was so loud that when we walked out of the bathroom all the people in the gas station were laughing.
11-2-09 We were eating lunch and Eliza was talking to herself as she ate "I eat the beans and they go down the drain of my throat."
11-2-09 Just a funny thing about Ricky, EVERYTIME I do his laundry he has toys in his basket. Doesn't matter how many times I tell him, there is always a handful or two of toys.
9-13-09 I overheard Eliza talking to herself in the back seat of our van. "Our van is almost a limo"
9-13-2009 A little girl in the ward saw Aaramie walk by and said "look mom Eliza" Then Eliza walked by "Look mom, 2 Eliza's"
4-10-09 Eliza has to interpret Hyrum's babbles. Hyrum will say "dadadada" and Eliza says "Hyrum is talking about fish!" or "Hyrum just said blow dryer" or "Hyrum wants to go swimming"
My first Aaramie-ism. She was writing her name and then growled for about 10 seconds and slammed down her marker. I asked what was wrong. She said "Look, the 'r' is crooked". Oh, dear, I think we have another perfectionist.
2-22-09 Another Ricky-ism. He was looking at the church's kid scriptures with pictures and suddenly gasped and looked up at me. "Mom! Heavenly Father and Jesus live in the clouds!" I didn't quite know what to say so I hesitated. He said "Look, it's right here in this picture. If it's in the picture that is what it is." He didn't wait for any response from me. He was determined the picture was right. He looked back at the picture and muttered to himself "look, they have trumpets. I wonder why we don't hear them. Hum." I could help but laugh.
2-22-09 This was actually a Ricky-ism. He is always asking me questions about Heaven like "Will we eat in Heaven?" "What do angels eat?" "Do they eat healthy food in Heaven? I think they do. Huh Mom." I always tell him that I don't know. We were studying Lehi's dream and I said "Only the people who get to heaven get to eat the fruit of the tree of life." Ricky perked up. "That's what they eat in heaven!"
2-19-09 Eliza was saying that her baby had to go to jail. I told her I didn't think so and that jail was a place where people went who broke the law. Eliza replied "But she did break the alarm!"
2-8-09 At a baptism Eliza turns to William with a Booger on her finger and says "I need a tissue". William, not being used to carrying 'kid supplies' around was frantically looking around for something. As he is looking, Eliza figures out what to do. No, she did not eat it. She put it back in her nose.
While eating our family night treat William and I were talking and out of the blue Eliza says "Tomato's can't talk." We laughed at how random that was but about 20 min later I overheard her singing the theme song from veggie tales "If you like to talk to tomatoes . . ."
We were having a medical exam for life insurance and when William walked in the door Eliza said "Daddy! You get to watch a moooovie because the lady is going to take your skin off." (I had previously told her that the lady was going to take some blood out and I guess she figured that meant we had to take the skin off. (William can't stand needles, that's why we had a movie for him to watch)
Eliza was helping Marietta make dinner and Arletta walked in. Eliza gasped "Look, two letta's!"
Durring dinner Hyrum was gabbing and Eliza perked up and announced "Mommy, Hyrum is talking about computers!"
"I have 4 thumbs!" (she says to me as she shows me her big toes and her thumbs)
If you give Eliza attention and talk to her, you are sure to hear her say "You are my best friend" over an over.
While I was doing her hair Eliza said to me "Bad guys can't get pretty people, right mom?"
Today I said to Eliza "What is this one strand of hair doing out of place?' and she said "It's just a monkey hair"
