Sorry Sarah

From the scientific evidence below you will see that Chloe is just as much my baby as she is yours!!

Ben and Chloe

So yesterday I watched the girls for Sarah. Ben came over to her house after work and what does he do?...he lets Chloe play with his phone! She knows he is the weak one so she snuggles up to him and woos him. I just know that when we have kids he'll be the one saying... "You go ahead and write on the wall" or, "You wanna make a dress out of the curtains? Ok I'll get my sowing machine" (of course in the cute baby-talk voice.)

Look at Chloe's face - you know she knows she's playing with something that she shouldn't.

What a sucker! Neither one of them can resist the other's cute little face, though.

I'm sure Chloe is showing him the text message she wrote to one of her peeps.

All in all the phone still works and Chloe was happy as a clam!

Hellllooooooooooooo!

Yes we found the charger for our camera!! Yay! And it couldn't have come at a better time - right after vacation. :( Whelp now we can document our little lives and share them with you. What did we do when our camera was charged again you ask? Of course take a picture!

I bet you're glad we're back!

I Likey My Dad

In honor of Father's Day - I decided to post a really late tribute to my pops. There are lots of pictures that include family and momma so it's kind of a tribute to everyone. I decided to touch on a few highlights in Dad's life that make him who he is. Enjoy!

1. Holding babies... Dad seems to have a knack for snuggling up to the nearest baby. This one is Stan.

And many years later as grandpa doing the same thing... this is Jillian.

2. His daughters... He has seen us both off after major milestones in our lives. This is me graduating.

Then giving his first daughter away.

And 7 years later on the same day - giving away his last daughter.

3. Traveling and having fun... This was in Hawaii in 2006. We were out in the ocean and of course I had to see how tall I would be if I stood on Dad's shoulders while he balanced on a coral reef. This is how it turned out.

He got to golf in Hawaii with the men of the family. Stan was serving his mission and missed all the fun.

Dad always enjoys a good football toss. Especially if it involves stuffing someone's pass.

This is us in front of the Laie, Hawaii Temple. Still having a good time over there.

3. a) Still traveling and having fun... This was our Corbett reunion in Utah in 2007. Dad always loves to have fun when posing for the camera.

I had to throw this one in there randomly. It really captures Ross' and Dad's relationship. But mostly how Dad always tries to have a good time and make us laugh.

4. Dad and me... When I started this post I realized how many places we have been together. We got to take a day trip to New York (thank you uncle!) and see all the necessary sights in Manhattan. This is Central Park in the wee hours of the morning. I loved all the green!

This is us throwing up gang signs in front of Trump Towers.

And then doing some resting and thinking at a local bench. Dang, look at those profiles! Am I his daughter or what!

5. Dad and Mom... These next few show the love after 30+ years. Here they are in Hawaii again. Probably after he apologized for trying to block her pass in the picture before.

This was when my Dad had to chaperon one of Higley's dances so he brought his date with him. I think they even got pictures done there and then gave us kids the wallet sizes. Haha.

One of my favorites... This was after Ben and I were sealed and we were taking our pictures. My parent's faces perfectly capture what they had been going through up until the wedding. From hospital visits, to staph infections to doctor bills - my parents were troopers and I can't thank them enough for how much they made that day so easy for me.

6. Tears... My Dad has always been a rock. I knew growing up that if Dad cried, it was serious! He'll even admit that he has become a little softy in these recent years. He never fails to tell each of his kids how much he loves them and how much him and mom think about them. I'll never forget how I felt in this picture. I knew that I was going to be having a new man of the house after this day.

I love you Dad!

All these babies is makin' me hungry!!

My sister-in-law Alisha had her 2nd baby girl yesterday!! I am so proud of her because she accomplished this great feat without an epidural (sp?) I hope she doesn't mind me spilling her biznaaass on the web but I am just in awe as to how she got through it. I am proud of my brother for being the daddy to two beautiful girls. Keep in mind Jeffrey that we do need the Taylor name passed on so don't get too comfortable with this whole 'girl' thing. I would do my part but I'm a Miller now remember? I know.... I kknnoooooow...

This is Alisha and little Jillian who is now the big sis!

All this baby talk got me thinking as to what kind of kiddos Ben and I will have. I posted this picture to show the two options our kids may have for body types. Hmmm ...which to choose....

Happy 1 Year "Been Together" Anniversary !

Yes that's right - we are that awesome to celebrate this kind of holiday. Ben and I 'officially' started dating last year on this exact date!! Ask me what defines officially and we will have that discussion in private. I cannot believe I have known Ben for over a year and what's even more crazy is that I am married to him! I have been so blessed to have him in my life and I know my family feels the same way. Here are some more good times with Ben.

Our first time holding hands in front of our family at Emma and Sadee's dance recital.

Our first wedding reception together (Sam and Rachel's). May I say that Ben was so cute at this - although the picture says otherwise. He politely asked me to be his date to the reception and introduced me to all the Camp Verde people. Let me say - to be dating one of the Miller's was (and is!) a prize in Camp Verde. They are the family in that town and I sure did get the stare down by some girls who saw me walking in my date.

Our first picture with Emma and Sadee. I knew he had to be the one because they had crushes on him VERY early on in the relationship.


Our first.... dog-sitting... together.... yeaaaahhh anyhoooo

Our first major road trip to Cortez and Durango, CO. We went to Emilee's blessing and visited with family. Notice I still have the black eye..

Ben's first time at a Crane Thanksgiving dinner. Oohh yeaaaah.

Our first dance.

Our first meal in our apartment.

I LOVE YOU BEN!

For reals!

Beat that Sarah!

I want to know your score, although its kind of addicting.

Penelope

I stole this video from my friend Chloe's blog. Have you ever found yourself in a conversation with a 'one-upper'? Sometimes I have to stop myself and make sure I'm not the one doing it - and hopefully I will never encounter a 'Penelope.'

Have a laugh!

here is another clip I found of her. http://thespinningkick.multiply.com/video/item/134/

Good Times with Ben

This is one of the first big things Ben and I did together. I went up to meet the parents and go quad riding and try to impress the family. Here we are on top of Squaw Peak (sp?) looking down on the Verde Valley. Notice my frumpiness - I was wearing some of Ben's jeans and somehow they enlarged my midget frame. Hmmm...


Me on one of the fabulous quads that Dave and Debbi let us borrow. I tried to be tough for Ben and my future in-laws. Sam and Rachel came with us too which made it even more fun! This was 2 weeks before Sam and Rachel's wedding.


This is my attempt to take a picture of us while we were on the quad. Probably not the safest thing but it makes for a fun memory and picture!


This is our 2nd trip on the quads together. This was 2 weeks after Sam and Rachel's wedding and we drove around the red rock/Sedona area. Oh boy it sure was fun being around newlyweds while Ben and I were in a new relationship! You know what I mean... constantly wondering if that could be you. Well, I was right the whole time!!


Ben thought it was funny to have me stand at the edge, while the wind howled past me and take a picture at the same time. Har har!


The gushy newlyweds. EW! See now you know what I had to deal with?!?! Just kidding Sam and Rachel, you only inspired us even more...


Another motion picture on the quad. I almost can't tell who the girl is in the picture. Hmm cute!


These last two are for cute-y Ben. As I write this my poor husband is passed out on the bed with a fire-engine-red cracked nose and watery eyes. Poor guy worked in a lot of insulation today and it didn't fair him or his allergies well. Please remember him from the good ol' days. Rest in peace my little sneezer.

Easter Pageant

This past week Ben and I went to the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Temple! Sarah and the girls went with us and we grabbed some good ol' Taco Bell on the way. Ben is pretty sure this was his first time to go, but he still didn't understand why we got there 2 hours before it started. I'll tell you why...because you want good seats! When we got there we were ready to play some games and do people watching while we waited.

Ben and I hanging out as the sun gets lower and lower. Poor Ben and his allergies. When we first got there Sarah and I were like, "Oh my look at those orange blossoms! They smell so good!" While Ben is like, "Yeaaaaaaah.....orange blossoms......Aaaachooo!"

Ben, me, Sadee and Emma playing Old Maid. Emma and Sadee like to ask you if you have the Old Maid right from the beginning. Ben really likes to help Sadee out when she is picking from me and some how I always end up with the Old Maid!

They started to make some announcements so we had to end our game. It was a great pageant and even more memorable with Emma and Sadee and their innocent questions about what was going on. Ben and I are doing great and we wish everyone a Happy Easter!
