Mr. Fix it

Here's Jack in his "Mr. Fix it" jammies. Don't you just wanna pick him up and snuggle??

More pictures

Here's our side table. I thought it was a neat picture with Lillie and Jack and Dustin and I in the background.

Here's Jack's birth announcement. I loved how it turned out.
Here are some pictures of our family taken about 30 feet away from the building Dustin's building on the Elk Refuge. We ran over there real quick today to snap some pictures for our Christmas card. Lillie thought it was hilarious how I had to run back and forth to set the timer on our camera between every picture... so thankfully she was smiling in every picture!

Blessing Day

Sunday, November 15th was a busy day! My sister Dana's baby, Sayde was blessed at 11:00, Elisha's baby, Andy was blessed at 1:00, and our Jack was blessed at 4:00! Here's a picture of us sisters after Sayde's blessing.

Jack's Blessing
Jack's blessing was really neat. We decided to do it at Dustin's parent's house instead of having everyone make the trip to Jackson. It was at 4:00 with a dinner right after at 4:30.
Dustin and I decided to put a little program together for it. We had an opening song and prayer, then Dustin gave a little talk about families. He did a really good job and made me tear up when he spoke about how much he loves our family. Alli and I sang a duet to "Come Unto Jesus." Alli did an amazing job with the alto part! There wasn't even a part written in, so she just made it up on the spot. Amazing, talented girl. The song went well. Right after we were done singing, Dustin blessed Jack. In the circle was Dustin, Milan, Rick, Steve, Tyson, Clark, Lance, and Dallin. It was a really neat blessing.
After that, we had a closing prayer and ate lasagna, salad, and rolls. For dessert was cake and ice cream. It was really tasty and the perfect end to an special day!

Little Jack on his big day!

Elisha and Anna (Dana's daughter) and Lance and Andy.

Jessie and Dallin came! Here's me and Jess with our babies!

The Miller granchild picture. Julie got all of the pretty dresses and clothes for the boys. Lillie, as always, threw a tantrum right when she saw the camera!

Dana got this cake. It said, "Congratulations Jack, Andy, and Sayde!" So... naturally we took a picture with the babies by the cake they never got to eat!

Elisha and Lance had Andy sealed to them! It was a really special day for them and Andy looked so cute in his little white suit!

The whole slew of us!

Long Awaited Update

Holy cow, I can't believe it's been 5 1/2 weeks since baby Jack was born. We've had a pretty eventful past few weeks. Here are some memorable things that have happened:
  • Lillie came down with pink eye in both eyes
  • Lillie, Dustin, and I all had the swine flu for about a week.
  • Jack came down with pink eye (luckily only in one eye).
  • We went to the doctor 11 times in 21 days.
  • We hit 2 deer!
  • Jack came down with pink eye AGAIN.
  • Halloween! We went to the Melaleuca trick or treat, went trick or treating with my sister Dana and her fam, left the kids with their Grandparents while Dustin and I went to a Halloween party at Tyson and Alli's.
  • Had a fight with our landlord after they walked in to our apartment thinking we were gone.
  • Went to my sister's sealing to their new adopted son, Andy
  • Had three baby blessings to attend on Sunday... including Jacks!
  • Got our car back
  • Now we're just waiting to find out when and where we're moving!
Here are some pictures of all the events exept the blessings. I'll post those later.







This little girl! She colored all over the wall and was just so proud of it. I had to take a picture before I sent her to time-out.
