Babe Ruth Jr.

Mason was drafted by the Boston Red Sox tonight. He played his last baseball game today. The best days are watching Mason play baseball with all of his neighborhood buddies.

Mason is going on to 2nd Grade!!!!!!

Today was Mason's last day of 1st Grade.. He had Mrs. Haun. She was the best teacher. She will probably retire after teaching Mason. We had to supplement her income to take Mason into her class. haha. Mason is 7 going on 17. Mason is a great kid.

My Favorite Boys

I feel like I am in such a rush to take every image possible of my boys. Once this baby is here they will magically be so much older. We are all so excited for this baby to come. Ian asks me everyday if I am pregnant, and if it is summer time yet. He wants to help me hold the baby and get diapers for his baby sister. Yes, a sister... he has told me from day one that we are having a girl. We really do not know yet what we are having, but if you ask him it is a girl. Mason is excited too. When I am laying down on the sofa he likes to feel the baby move. He will be a great brother and hopefully he will lend a helping hand between playing baseball and riding his skateboard. Right his only dream is to wake up and be 17 years old. When I think my boys are getting to big I put my hands on their heads and press down, they both know that means to stop growing...so far it has not helped. I love my family and am so grateful for them. They mean everything to me.

Pray for the Fotheringham's

Brandi & Eric Fotheringham are in need of prayers. Please include them in your prayers. They are facing some life decisions. Miles was born to teach all of us lessons about life. Be thankful everyday for your health and the life you have. You're the best Brandi, Eric, Tess, and Miles.

GREAT MOVIE!!

Happy Birthday Kristy

Around this time of year I start thinking of my friend Kristy Casperson Swiderski. It will be her birthday on the 23rd. She is the one in the lower right corner of the picture. Kristy passed away on October 25th, 2006. No one should die when they are that young. She left behind a husband and two young children. Kristy was an amazing person who will be missed by a lot of close friends. People just naturally loved being with Kristy, she had that most incredible sense of humor. I love her and I miss her. I pray that her family will be blessed and that her children will feel her love whenever they need her.

Mason's 7th Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Mason. I can't believe that you are 7 years old. I know I say that every year, but you were just my little baby yesterday. We all had a great time at Dixie Bowl. Grandma Cleo and Grandma Lisa bowled a game together. They are both amazing, it was fun to show both Mason and Ian their Grandmas names up on the "Wall of Fame". Mason I love you and am very proud of the young man that you have become. Happy Birthday Buddy. Love MOM

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary Kenny, it has been 12 incredible years. Being married to Kenny has been the greatest, I couldn't ask for anything more in life. It was on this trip to Alaska that I realized that being married to your best friend means everything. Kenny has made me everything that I am today. There has NEVER been a dull moment when Kenny is around. Please believe me, I am raising two little boys that act just like their father...and for that I am truly grateful.

Hats off to Grandma Hacker!

My mom, better know as grandma Hacker is on her way to China...again. She is starting up dance classes for all of those cute little chinese girls. I don't know of any other human being that would want to take that flight and face all of the challenges that she is going to face in starting up a business in China. She is one brave woman. I look up to her a lot. She has the energy of a 13 year old. My boys already miss her and she has only been gone one day. I wish her the best of luck and I know that whatever she wants...she will get.

Nephi Homecoming 1992

This is Kasi at Nephi's Homecoming with Bill Wilkey. Is she HOT or what? I will let Kasi add to the post later.
This is my favorite cousin Angie, I wish I could go back in time to this moment. We had such a great time at Nephi Homecoming. Look at the faces on our dates - they look mortified. They were probably so embarrassed by us. We were the only two on the dance floor when then "fast" music came on (besides Heinz Kirchhausen - true story). We could of cared less, no one knew us so we acted like total idiots!!! A special thank you to Bill and Brett Wilkey for the best action ever (not, they dropped us off at the hotel and left before we had a chance to take our dresses off!!!)

Remembering Natalie

MUST READ!!!! Be ready to CRY!!! Very powerful story!
http://rememberingnatalie.blogspot.com/

I found this blog from a friend and I should have NOT read it. I sat in my office and cried like a baby. All of the feelings of when Kasi was in the hospital (7 months pregnant) with Mason and her appendix had burst. I remember sitting with her and the doctor's (every OB in town) checking her out and not knowing what was wrong. We waited hours and hours before they took her in for surgery. Every doctor trying to diagnose her and Kasi masking the symptoms and the pain. She knew she was in trouble and so did I, but this was out of my hands. I felt so helpless and wanted this experience to go away. When the doctor's finally said we need to do an amniocentesis test and there is a large risk in doing so. Dr. Tug Miller telling me that I may lose my wife and baby if her appendix had ruptured and the poisoned fluid mixes with the baby's amniotic fluid. He explained what was going to happen and I had to sign a form stating the risk. I had no other choice but to have the procedure done. When I was reading this blog, all my feelings that I felt while she was in surgery came back. I was scared and couldn't do anything about it. I prayed like I have never prayed before. I had a good feeling inside, but still the unknowing. The Lord has a plan and he is in control. This story of Natalie is amazing. I don't even know her, but she is a powerful person. We knew Colby by going to Cafe Rio daily for Lunch and Dinner, but only heard stories about Natalie. I love my Kasi more than you know. She is an AMAZING wife, mother and friend. She makes life worth living.

Blogging???

This blogging has got out of control. I have banned Kasi from blogging. The only thing she wants to do is BLOG!!! I see all of our friends blogging and not really paying attention to their families. Their kids have NOT been fed, the toilets haven't been cleaned and dinner is NOT on the table. I see kids running in the streets until midnight without shirts and shoes. OH, This describes the MILLER'S. I wonder what the Prophet is going to say about this in the next General Conference. I love giving Chris Sparks a hard time about blogging. He is constantly blogging. Now he works with me he is going through blogging addition detox. The truth is that I find myself reading all the blogs and wishing we had a good one like Shayne Scott and Melinda Clove. Keep the blogs going, it gives me something to do while I'm living in Las Vegas. Kenny

Who has the time?

I am just amazed with all of you bloggers. I don't even have time to clean my toilets let alone sit down at the computer and come up with something fun and creative for a people to read. How do any of you have the time for this? Maybe I'll get better at this as time goes by. Hope everyone is happy and healthy. The Miller family is going great. I am still pregnant for 100 more years, Kenny is training in Vegas all week (so we look forward to the weekends!), Mason is 6 going on 16, and Ian is hell on wheels. I wonder what baby #3 will be like? Keep smiling. Kasi
