Fall Pictures

I Love Fall, and I Love My Camera. So I decided to try a photo shoot. I am no pro, and I haven't had a chance to edit them yet, but I had a blast taking pic.'s of the girls and my sister Ali.

Picking Raspberries

THE BEST part of the end of summer the beginning of Fall has to be the raspberries that they have at the the Millers house. They have a HUGE raspberry patch and I must admit I spend a great deal of time eating them as fast as I can every chance that I get. The girls love them too! As soon as we get there they each grab a measuring cup and head out with Grandma Miller to pick and eat as many as they can.

Picnic with the Millers

It has been so fun to be closer to Grandma and Grandpa Miller. So on this particular day we decided to head to the park for a picnic with the Millers and Great Grandma and Grandpa Ford. The weather was perfect, and the girls had a blast.

And as an added bonus there were ducks!

Everywhere We Go

It has been awesome to have a nice big yard to let the kids play in. Hallie and Brooklyn spend a great portion of their day, digging in the rocks, and running around on the grass. A few days ago they were out playing soccer, and I as I went outside to check on them I could hear them sing, , Everywhere We Go, People Want To Know, Who We Are, and So We Tell Them, We Are The Tigers, The mighty mighty tigers. It was as if Tony the Tiger were there himself. It was a proud moment for me, and definitely one that will make Daddy proud. It was so cute!

But I must admit, it is time to scale back the TV watching.

Trip To The Zoo and a Disaster Too!

Hooray, I finally have a computer of my own. Thanks to my hubby! I can now add posts with ease, without hijacking my mom's computer. Anyways, I hadn't seen my brother-in-law Todd in a really long time. So when I heard that he was coming up to visit from college with his new sweetheart we all decided to head to the zoo. It was a lot of fun.

Uncle Todd, Brooklyn, and Jess (Jessica)

Jess left a great impression on the girls and I . However, I am not sure of the impression that we left on her. When we had finished visiting the zoo we decided to go out to eat. We stopped at Grandma and Grandpa Millers to clean up, and while we were there Brooklyn threw up in front of everyone (apparently she had snuck a soy protein bar, which she is really allergic to). So I stuck her in the tub, and junked the clothes only to discover that I now had no clothes to stick her in just a pull-up. I decided I had better just head home. But in true Jane fashion I managed to misplace my keys. So I had throw up in the kitchen, a naked 2 year old running around outside, and I had the WHOLE family searching for my keys for 20 minutes or so. It was one for the books to be sure. Do I think that Jess will remember me, "Yes". Is it a good memory my guess is "No". Oh well, all in the life of Jane. I am just keeping it real.

Shots & Another Tea Party

Hallie had to get 6 shots this year so that she could start kindergarten. It was really sad to see her so upset, so we decided to have our own tea party at home. The girls pretend to have tea parties every day, but today I let them use real water (tea) and I made dainty Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwiches. They thought it was the neatest thing ever, and Hallie forgot all about the doctors visit.Okay, so I am sure that some of you are noticing that these pictures are a few months old. I am a little behind and I do not want Chris to miss out on any of our cute pic.'s. Slowly but surely I am catching up and pretty soon I will be able to blog about stuff we are doing right now.

By far the best part of being in UT is being able to spend time with my cute niece and nephews. So we headed met at the park for a picnic. Hallie and Mackenzie
Burning off McDonalds

It was really, really ,hot that day and so instead of playing on the playground. the kids quickly discovered the dirt in the shade, and it didn't take long before they were covered.
