Miller Disneyland Reunion!

My Mom's Uncle Ray passed away last year and left her some money. He was such a fun and loving guy and truly loved being with and having fun with family. So my Mom decided the best thing to do with it would be to take the whole Miller Clan to Disneyland all 34 of us! Something Uncle Ray would have absolutely loved.

Chad and I decided to go up a few days early and stay in Redlands so we could take turns going to the temple.

We also got to go to church right next door and walk around the temple with the kids.

On Sunday evening we all met at the hotel and partied! The hotel was awesome and let us use their ballroom. And our rooms were all on the same floor!

We celebrated Mom, Scott, Nate, Rose and Sophie's birthdays together! Thanks to Sarah for the awesome cake decorations.

It was so fun to all be together!

We spent the next two days in Disneyland!

Sadly Easton was just barely too short for the bigger rides but we had a blast on the classic rides. His favorite was Maters Tractors and Luigis Dancing cars. And thanks to William they got to ride most of the rides twice with the baby pass!

I made these cute mickey ears for the kids. Sadly Sophie was the only one to wear them for more than 5 minutes.

 We spent a lot of time in Fantasyland.

We rode the Teacups three times. The kids had a blast on it!

William Loved all the rides he got to go on. The drops on Pirates made him a little nervous his favorite by far was Small World. He was jabbering and dancing the whole time.

We met Mickey Mouse of course!

The last day all 34 of us met for a picture.

And then we headed over to Goofy's Kitchen!

Minnie, Pluto, Chip and Dale were there and the food was delicious. William liked the characters as long as they kept their distance. Chip gave him a kiss and he cried.

Easton liked playing peek-a-boo with Dale

Then we headed back for more fun rides. Easton thought it was sooo cool to drive his own car on Autopia. He was all smiles and did a really good job.

We partied till 11pm and the kids were exhausted from all the fun and passed out on the way back to the hotel.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Miller and Uncle Ray for all the fun!

William 10 Months

Our busy little Hawk is 10 months old now. He is changing so much and getting more adventurous everyday and very very busy. He is currently obsessed with Easton's battery operated Quad. He used to coax the girls into giving him rides but now he climbs on himself and presses the button.

Pretty much gave me a heart attack making dinner the other night. I heard the quad running and crash into the door. Crazy boy was riding standing on the seat!

He climbs onto everything and is walking along furniture now.

He also loves to pull his siblings hair. Easton found a solution for that the other night.

He experienced his first car seat free ride in Eleanor. Looks like we have another Model A lover. He kept saying "ooooooo" and trying to climb onto Chad's lap. So Chad let him steer when we got home.

He says "Dada, Mama, Ee-Da (Lydia), and Two-dose (toodles)" He also blows kisses, waves goodbye, and gives high fives.

Happy 10 months William!

Children's Museum and Camping!

The kiddos are on fall break so we have been enjoying the time off. We headed to the children's museum and the kids happily played for hours.

Their favorite room is always the grocery store room. It was fun to see them all pretend play together. They shopped for the food and brought it to the kitchen to cook a delicious meal.

Easton was very serious giving instructions out of his "recipe book"

William even helped wash all of the vegetables.

 Then we had a fun long weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Miller and Toodles of course. Grandpa brought his boat and the kids LOVED riding in it.

They all took turns steering the boat. We discovered they all like to drive in circles. William had to get into the action too.

We enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa and camping in our trailers (which I forgot to take a picture of). William thoroughly enjoyed playing outside too!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the fun adventure!
