B-day parties

Happy first birthday to my neice Alyssa!



What the heck is that mom?..

...All right, I'll taste it...

...Turns out this cake is pretty good!

Happy Birthday Lyss!

Later that day we had a bunch of friends over for a bbq to celebrate Tom's birthday!
Pretty sure its healthy to have lunch and dinner consisting of hotdogs, burgers, and cake and ice cream right?:)

Happy Birthday Tom!

Week of Craziness!

It all started last friday when we went to the hospital to see Jeff and Claudia Hill's new baby boy!! James Gage Hill!! He is soooo handsome with the most perfect skin tone! I was so sad I left my camera in the car. Congrats Jeff and Claudia! After we left Jenni was kind enough to help me make posters to take to the airport for my little brothers return the next day. Thanks for all your help Jenni your the best! And this is what the boys did while we made the posters On Saturday my little brother Conlan returned home from his mission!! I'm soo proud of him and love him so much!! So happy to have him back! And I'm so happy to be able to hang out with him again!! I have missed him! The anticipation at the airport while we waited... ...and waited A cute moment of a random couple reunited while we were again waiting There he is!!! He looks soo great!! My parents are behind him because the flew out to Texas to spend a week with him. All the kids! Conlan got to meet two new members of the family that have joined since he left 2 years ago, his niece Alyssa and Sharice's husband Gregg! Here he is a home on the piano!! Man it was SOOOO good to hear him play! It was definitely a cold chill moment as Tom said.
On Sunday we went to the annual Styler family 4th of July partay!! It was sooo fun with tons of kids, family and food! Thanks Dave and Dani for always being the best hosts! Almost everyone was there! 71 out of 72 After the Styler party we went back to my parents for more fireworks and Conlan was a excellent lighter! Minus the one mishap where one tipped over and wizzed past tom and hit the house:) This is Marley barking, howling, pouncing, and crying at the fireworks! He was freaking out! It was hilarious! These were the legit fireworks that blow up in the sky! On monday-4th of july! The whole fam at the parade! Alyssa was enjoying her view of the parade! Delta parade glory! During the parade Koleman would turn around and clap at us sooo cute! And of course we had to go the always awesome Demolition Derby!! Delta is the only place to be on the 4th of July! Us and the Miller fam! On tuesday night my Grandpa Miller and my dad came over for a visit! My grandpa lives in Joseph City, AZ. And he hardly ever came up to Utah all growing up and I haven't seen him for years so it was so nice to not only see him but to have him over to see where I live! He was so funny with Jovi! She kept cuddling on him and he kept calling her things like a "pot-licker!" It was so funny but I know he liked her. On thursday- WELCOME SWAYZIE!! Brent and Jenni had their gorgeous baby girl and we got to go see her for a couple hours!! She is tiny and perfect! Congrats Brent and Jenni! Tom and Papa bear. I failed to get a pic of the beautiful mother!! I'm so sad! CUTE! On friday night we went straight from work up to Ryan and Tracy's wedding up at Alta Ski Lodge and it was such a great ceremony in a beautiful location! It was a really fun night and we got to hang out with lots of friends! Ryan's look of anticipation was so cute! Look how gorgeous Tracy looked!! Wowza! These were such super talented kids that played the most beautiful music before the ceremony The cute little ring bearer and the flower girl Check out the view during the ceremony! On Saturday to end the phase, I took some of my students that met their goals, and Rachael bowling and it was sooo fun!! Love those guys and I'm gonna miss not teaching them! And we ended the week by going to dinner that night(which was supposed to be a bbq but bad weather) with my co-workers for Kenzi's birthday!
