Building a House for Mr. Hobbs

Manly Bonding

Katie has a pet turtle named Mr. Hobbs who has been her constant 1st grade classroom companion for about 4-5 yrs now, and today Jacob and I made a little house for Mr. Hobbs. Jacob is the best brother any brother could ever ask for, and it was so endearing to see how something so little could made my Kate so happy! I love how much joy she finds in the seemingly smallest things in life. 

As a side note, Jacob is really transforming the storage garage into a very nice workshop for his tools and welding projects!

Miller Family Lake Powell Trip- 2013








The mother ship, "Seaclusion", docked at our campsite for this summer's Miller family reunion at Powell! It was the perfect site!
This year's newest and most loved Powell toy... the big blue floating water wrestling pad.  Lots of "king of the mat" wrestling matches were had, and even more laughs at how hard it was for everyone to stay up on their feet. :)



My first time hiking up "Hole in the Rock". Completely boggles my brains that the pioneers came down this pass with wagons. - JW





Playing frisby in the lake... never more fun. Dane was making us all laugh by.... just being Dane... LOL! 








Katie and her little buddy!


Moments before a flawless entrance into the lake....
