Lilly's birthday present

Lilly received a tiara from Grandma and Grandpa Ripp and a feather boa from Amy and Evan Bland.

I will smile for a picture in exchange for a lollipop.

The M&M-Millerites and what we have done

Uncle Josh (Maranda's brother) is trucking for a living and came to Indianapolis. He was supposed to be able to only spend an afternoon with us but his schedule for his next load was delayed and he spent the whole weekend. I didn't even recognize him at first when we went to pick him up. It was great for the kids. It was also great to have someone take a picture of our whole family.

We went to the annual 4H Fair and their were only about 20 animals left but the kids enjoyed being around the animals and Taden loved all the tractors.

Things the M&M-Millerites get into. Flour, guitar cases, and toy bins.

After all a long journey it's time to sleep.

This is Lilly's pose when she refuses to get out of the bathtub.



Maranda decided to take up the hobby of cake decorator. She went to the library and got about 5 books on the subject. She wanted to create a birthday cake for me and came up with a bug cake. Everything is homemade even the fondant. She is a most impressive woman.
