Miller family photos 2010

You can tell how much fun Alyssa is having by her expression! :)

Okay, Okay here are some good ones

Mom and Dad:)


Aw..Sharice and Gregg

And here is Tasha, Roger and Alyssa. Poor Alyssa was such a trooper in the freezing cold!

Pheasant Hunt 2010

Oh my Tommy...I freaking love this man! He really is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I couldn't ever imagine my life without him. I'm so glad he picked me as his match. I can't believe next month we will have been together for 5 years. Time has flown and I love him more everyday.

Every year the Styler host a huge family pheasant hunt at Uncle Mikes and Aunt Luann's property. And every year Aunt Luann, being the wonderful, amazing woman that she is, makes homemade doughnuts and chili and it is SERIOUSLY THE BEST! (I had to capitolize so you fully understand how delicious this event is) There is usually almost everyone of the Stylers there so like 40 or so people there that arrive at like 7am and hunt pheasants all day. This year I just hung out with the women folk in a nice warm house having some good girl talk and watching the kids. They always have a good hunt (which is mostly due to the fact that uncle mike buys pheasants that are raised by people and lets them loose in the fields the day before the hunt. Which is pretty messed up if you think about it...they have never been in the wild and are used to people feeding them so of course they aren't going to be that hard to find:) then you usually have to kick them to scare them up to fly to shoot them hahaha so funny...but still messed up. Aw good times, its a good thing I don't have a soft spot for birds or I probably wouldn't be able to attend.

My sister-in-laws that were there minus Lashel cuz Koleman was in the house taking a nap on her lap:(

Look at these 2 handsome hunters! Tom you are soo hot! sheesh!

OH Koleman! He is my favorite little boy ever! He is sooo stinkin cute!

And these little darlings were soooo cute! It was Koleman, Braydi, and Mckenna. They are 2nd cousins born within a month or so of eachother. It was so funny that you could tell that Koleman was a first child because every loud high pitched scream would freak him out and make him cry, with Mckenna you could tell she was a 2nd child because she didn't mind the noise but still needed attention and toys, and with Braydi you could definitely tell she was a 3rd child because she didn't care about the screaming, kids bumping and running into her, the fact that the other kids only let her have one toy to play with when there were buckets of toys, that she hadn't been fed or had her super thick snow pants taken off so she was probably roasting...she was just fine and content! She is such a good little baby!

It was a good time as always with the Styler clan!

Saturday night we went to my parents and had Thanksgiving dinner! It was sooo delicious and my mom knew she wasn't going to have us over for thanksgiving this year so she wanted to cook it for us! And I got to play with my cute little neice Alyssa! We also played the wii (yes us, my two sisters and their hubbys, grown adults) for a few hours..that Tetris is freaking addicting! And on Sunday we went to church and had family pictures. On the way home, we went to Tom's moms to hang out for a while and had yet another wonderful meal....We definitely don't starve down in Delta! I wish I would have taken more pictures!
So nice to get away for the weekend, and there is no other place we would rather be than with our families in Delta (well maybe an all expense paid vacation to Hawaii) :)

Minneapolis and Halloween

Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles!!!! oh yes me and my co-workers were the ninja turtles for Halloween and it was Awesome!

yup my weapon is a broom handle

This is at the hair school with some students

After work Dallas and Stefany invited us to Tucano's for din din which was delicious as always and then we rented a movie and gave out candy to trick-or-treaters. An overall wonderful Halloween



Last Weekend I had the opportunity to Minneapolis, MN with my co-workers from the Aveda Institute that I teach at. It was fun, busy, inspirational and exhausting! I learned a lot of cool stuff. They had us going from sun up to basically sun up for 2 days straight. It was so cool tho to be around so many cosmetology educators like myself from all over the U.S. and Canada. There were over 700 educators there! It made me realize how big Aveda is and its potential in Utah. I love my job and am so happy to work for a company that is so good to its employees. We were spoiled on this trip. I love Aveda!! Really now...at first I wasn't all that sure about it but now its an awesome company to be a part of.
Goodbye Utah

Oh Kenzi...I love this girl...I don't think I would have made it through this trip without her...she was like my mother haha. Literally, she had my schedule me for every day, she made sure I was up in the morning, let me put my heavy shoulder bag on her rolling one cuz I sure didn't think of a rolling one even tho I knew we would have to carry it several blocks to the hotel, made sure I bought a jacket cuz I'm an idiot and didn't bring one to freaking Minneapolis!, and most importantly...on the flight home the weather was really bad so turbulence was really bad so I got REALLY motion sick (it probabaly didn't help that we ate Thai food right before and I ate a king size bag of M&M's at the airport, again I'm an idiot), but Kenzi was there to take care of me by: ordering me a sprite and pretzels (which I refused like a nauseous child at first but then after having a little of each, felt much better), putting her freezing cold hands on my forehead to cool me down, and talked me through the landing cuz I was LITERALLY 1 second away from puking as we touched ground, she kept saying"just breathe, you're almost done" over and over again. Man I owe you big time Kenzi! Thank you!

Hello Minneapolis, MN
Here is the Provo team: me, Chelsea, Kenzi, Matthew, Meg, Heggy sitting in class. Yes I'm pretty sure we were the smallest staff there...all in good time tho

Minneapolis was an interesting city! Some of the craziest architechure I have ever seen but beautiful.!
Apparently shoe-shining is a regular practice and is very popular because these things were everywhere!

Me and Kenzi in front of our hotel which was beautiful and used to be an old train station

"Oh take one of me laughing!! haha"

There were some creeps...

...and lovers...and creeps:)

This is the Aveda Institute Minneapolis and it may not look like it but it is HUGE! It just keeps going and going, its 4 stories and the place seriously reminded me of Hogwarts!! Huge stairwells, random hidden closets, and it used to be some sort of temple so it has that old, actual handcrafted design castle feel. It was soo cool. They have like 700 students.

And when I saw these decorative trunks I seriously felt like I was off to Hogwarts! (ok so I'm a little excited for the new Harry Potter movie to come out)

Oh and sitting in more classes

This woman is Antoinette Beenders. And she is crazy AMAZING! She is known globally with Aveda and wow she is pure talent. Below is some of her work. The pic right under her is her doing a haircut in literally 5min and with no comb and it looked amazing! She would just pick up sections of hair and chop it off! It really made me want to not be sooo technical with my cutting and be more artistic. She is really inspiring




Overall great experience with my co-workers.

I was super excited to get home tho! I was missing my hubby and kiddies

Holy Birthday weekend!

My birthday was Friday and I was a little bummed that I had to work but when I got there, somehow everyone knew it was my birthday! (Curse you facebook) And Kenzi surprised me with a HUGE bucket of candy! (Just what I need right?!) and a hilarious card and a cute necklace! Thanks so much Kenz, that was so nice!
Then after work Tom made reservations at my FAVORITE restaurant Carrabas. And he had sneakily planned to have my whole family there to surprise me! It was so awesome! Thanks fam for making the drive to come! I love you!

Don't mind the man with the broken nose in the background :0

Tasha, Alyssa, and Roger

Mammy and Pappy

Uh oh! Looks like we have a major F.D.P.A. (future Dr. Pepper addict) on our hands! She definitely has Miller blood. :)

Gregg and Sharice

Look at this haul! Tom you are so sweet! I seriously wasn't wanting or expecting anything this year but I think that encouraged Tom to go above and beyond or something! He even brought me flowers to my work which was my favorite part.

On Saturday night Tom invited some friends over for cake and ice cream! Thanks Babe!

Jessica & Brady, Cole & Stephanie, and Dallas were able to make it. Sorry I didn't get any other pics
Isn't this cake glorious?:) Tom made it and it was dang tasty

And always good for entertainment, were the dogs that were in attendance
Marley, so handsome

Jovi and Pixie had a pretty good time trying to outrun eachother

And poor little, gluttonous Jeters spent most of the night wimpering in the kitchen for more food.



Sunday afternoon we went and saw The Social Network. Whoops for going on Sunday but...it was my birthday weekend :)
The movie was very interesting and I loved it! It did feel a little like we were watching The Gillmore Girls tho because they seriously were talking sooooo fast!

And then on Monday night my awesome, sweet night students threw me a little surprise party. It was so sweet of them! They made me a cute poster and We had cupcakes and a baked potato bar for dinner! Love them.
So maybe turning 24 isn't so bad? Thanks everyone for making my birthday awesome this year.

This Saturday after I got done with work we went down to Oak City because Toms mom was hosting a birthday party BBQ in the canyon for John, Tom, Kimi, Trevor, me, and Darren! haha basically from July to Dec. The food was delicious, the Styler kids and family were there and entertaining as always and we even had Grandpa and Grandma Probst come! Thanks Michelle for the awesome party!

Momma Michelle :)

Lashel, Trevor,and Koleman

John and Kristan


Aw...uncle John

Gramps showing us and letting us each pick out a peice of his homemade/real stones jewelry!

Me and Sadie

He was so cute! Before every bite he would shake with excitement!


G-pa Probst showing Koleman the creek

I love when Tom and Koleman play!

On Sunday we watched some Conference at Tom's Dad's house and we ended up coming home pretty early because I was not feeling good...darn head cold.
Still, a most excellent weekend.
