June Lake

The day after the wedding we went swimming at the very cold June Lake (which is where our condo was that we rented) brrrrrrrr.  But Eliza loved it!  She sat at the edge of the water and dug her toes in the sand.  It was so cute to see her playing in the water and sand.  Jeff took her out and dipped her whole body in the freezing water and she didn't mind a bit.  I on the other hand, did not go in - much too cold!

Delaney and I are just alike in this regard - she hated the cold water and cried when we put her on the sand.  And I'm actually using the word "sand" loosely because it was more like little sharp rocks.  Not comfortable at all.  Josh was fascinated by the rocks he found because they floated - ask him about them sometime.  I think he brought some home.

Spencer rescued Delaney from the cold water.  Thanks uncle Spence!

By the way, notice his hat?  He ordered one just like if for Noah.  Melissa is less than thrilled!

More fun wedding day photos

Lacey's mom and sister surprised us all by making yummy cupcakes for our dessert after the dinner (which was at the Tuolumne Meadows Grill).  They were on a cute tiered holder and made a perfect wedding cake for Yosemite!

Oh so cute - sister and brother

Eliza hitched a ride up the mountain from Uncle Spencer - 

look at those beautiful blue eyes!

Tongue-tied Delaney got a ride from her dad - 

so adorable in her pink hat!

Cameron had to have a snooze after such an eventful day

Colby LOVES Bay and follows (or more often - leads!) him everywhere.

August 14th - Lacey & Jacob's Perfect Wedding

We climbed up a mountain in Yosemite to a beautiful and secluded spot they had chosen for the ceremony.  Luckily for me it wasn't too far, for though I love to hike - not so much in a skirt and sandals!

Amy, Jeff & Abbie, Bonnie, Colby and Jaxson

Jake helped Lace up the rocky trail.  Notice he has flip flops on?  He told us months before the wedding that they were mandatory!  Just before the ceremony though, he kicked his off and was married barefoot.  That's our Jake!

Jake's friend Royce performed the ceremony and did a really beautiful job. 

 We felt privileged to witness their vows to each other.

Here we are - all 19 of us!  It was so great to have our whole family there and we all felt it  was a sacrifice worth making.  We are blessed indeed to have such wonderful kids and grandkids.  We officially now have 5 daughters and 5 sons - yay!

Awwww, my baby is married!

All this because two people fell in love!

Impossible to get them to look at the camera but still oh so cute.

Here we are with our 7 grandkids.  It was truly a perfect and magical day.

Colby's 5th Birthday party

How can our little Colby be 5 already?  

(For some reason he leaned to the side when I asked him to hold still  and look at the camera!)

We loved being able to share this fun day with him, 

something we weren't able to do when they lived so far away. 

Jax was a good sport about coming to a  5-year-old's party - he's getting soooooo tall!

Bay had fun playing in the water with the little kids

Eliza crawling

More cuteness!

Cameron loved sitting in the twins little seat - 

guess Grammy will have to get one so he can love it at our house too!

Cameron loves papa and vice versa

Handsome Miller boys!

Quick photo post

I'm falling behind in posting so here's a quick one so I can get more current!  No time (or need) for captions.

Love this photo of Josh & Delaney

Awwww - so beautiful
