HOPPY BIRTHDAY!!

On April 7th, my dear friend BROOKE turned 22.
Her fiance Parker decided to throw her a surprise party
this past weekend so we could all celebrate her special day!!

If you know Brooke, you know that she loves ALL animals,
especially cute little BUNNIES. Yes, bunnies.
So, I thought that her party would only be complete if we had
a BUNNY cake for her to enjoy.
My friend Lizzie and I got to work on friday afternoon,
and made this cake for her...
That night we all met at Parker's house and waited for Brookie to arrive.


She finally got there, and was completely SURPRISED!!

She LOVED the cake.
We all had a great time hanging out, eating some of Brooke's
favorite treats, and celebrating her Birthday!!
Don't you love how happy these boys look in this picture...
It cracks me up!!

We all love you so much Brooke!!
Thanks for having a birthday, so we all had an
excuse to get together. xoxo

Let's Go Fly a Kite

Zach and I LOVE Wednesday afternoons...
Both of us have absolutely nothing to do.
No school, no work, no nothin'.
So, we get to spend the time together doing whatever we please.
This Wednesday it was super WINDY.
We decided that we needed to go FLY A KITE...Why not, right?
We ran to the local Toys R Us, and picked out a pretty sweet kite.
At first we thought it was a terodactyl...WRONG!!
It was actually a killer bee. Like I said, pretty sweet.

We are lucky enough to live right by Sugarhouse Park...the perfect
place to fly a kite.

Our kite broke about 5 minutes into the flight...I guess that's what
you get when you only pay $3.00 for the thing.
But don't fret, we fixed it, and up it went.



It was a perfect afternoon!!
We most definitely have a bad case of Spring Fever in this house.
Too bad it snowed the day after we flew our kite...stupid Utah.

Oh and in case you were wondering, I could NOT stop
singing the "Let's go fly a kite" song from
Mary Poppins the entire time we were at the park.
It's a good song, duh!!

Good Thing You're a Miller

Zach and I got a pretty good surprise this week when we
found out that our sister in law Heather was coming into town
from Washington, and bringing her four adorable kids.
They are on Spring Break, and Nate is swamped at the hospital.
So, last minute Heather decided to fly to Utah
to visit some family and friends....us included.
Last night we were lucky enough to meet Heather, Marlee and Audra for
dinner at Hires. They are staying up in Tremonton, but were down
in Salt Lake for a "Girls Day," as Marlee liked to call it.
We hadn't met AUDRA yet since she was born on January 26th...
So we were beyond thrilled when we got to spend some time with
our new niece last night.

She is SO sweet. I swear I could have held her all night.

Whenever Miss Marlee is around, we know we are in for a GOOD time.
This girl is HILARIOUS!!
I kept saying how Audra is SO cute and adorable.
Marlee just kept responding with, "well it's a good thing you're a Miller."
Maybe she meant that all Miller's are cute and adorable?

Thanks for such a fun night Heather, Marlee and Audra.
We miss you all WAY too much already.

Reunion

Last night we went to Zach's mission reunion!!
His mission president is now an area seventy, so he and
his wife were in town for General Conference.
They traveled all the way from Mexico City.
They put on a great fireside in Spanish, for all of
their returned missionaries and their families.
Don't worry...they had a translator;)
Zach had two mission presidents while he was on his mission.
The first was President Holdaway, and the second was
President Villalobos. I have been to a few mission reunions
with his first mission president before, but had never met his second.
It was great to finally meet President and Sister Villalobos,
and to see lots of Zach's companions and friends from
his mission in Mexico.

Must Read

So, I just finished reading this book...
I LOVED it.
It was such a different story...like nothing I have read before.
It hooked me from the beginning.
Like hooked me enough to make me stay up way past
my bedtime a few nights reading it.
We're talking about 3:00 am...but definitely
worth the exhaustion the next day.
And my southern accent is oh so good now, thanks to the book.
Anyways, what I'm trying to say is READ IT people!!
Oh yeah and, they are making this book into a movie.
So read the book and we can go to the movie together, ok?
