1. Meeting the Clarks at Peaks. Talking with Nicole and watching the kids loving being together.
2. Jayne got her stitches out. Jason and I tried to take them out. Who knew she had SO MUCH fight in her? We couldn't hold her down for anything!! She actually even foamed at the mouth. So we took back to the ER thinking they would have to put her to sleep and she held perfectly still for them. She didn't start to fight until the they were on the last stitch.
3. The comical night at the ball field. Jason and Lance got thrown out for simply disagreeing with a call. Finding Lance sitting in the parking lot, & Hillary's fight with the other fans.
4. EMilee for keeping all the little girls home with her.

Now that my computer is fixed I have some catching up to do. Here are some of the good and bad of the past few weeks.
1. My computer is finally posting again thanks to Chris. It is working like a champ! Thank heavens I have such a smart brother in law.
2. School is out! The weather is warm, the nights are perfect, and there is no homework!
3. Going to Lucy's graduation. She was the cutest thing I had ever seen. She had her cute little peach dress on and had the BIGGEST grin on her face the whole time. She knew every word of every song and loved being in the spotlight. She is the cutest kindergartener I had ever seen!
4. Emilee's award assembly. She got high honors with a 3.95 GPA or higher and an athetic ward for track. I am so proud of her for working so hard to get good grades this year. Then she and Aylssa snuck out of school and went to field day with us.
5. Field Day. Max took first in the 4th grad and about 6th out of the whole school. Good work buddy!
6. Abbie ran her heart out!! It was the best I have seen her do. She was one of the first girls to cross and got a ribbon.
7. Mom came and stayed with us all day. The weather was perfect and it was so fun to watch the kids. Abbie bought more crap to eat and seemed to find a way to polish it all off.
8. Max's class play. He played a NBA mvp and actually got into it. I was surprised. His favorite line was "My fans now chant, "You got Millered!"
9. The dance festival. Abbie did "Surfing in the USA" and Max did the Thriller dance with Miss Bybee.
10. Our neighborhood end of school party up at McSpaddens. Food, friends, and sunshine!
11. Emilee calling me to come get her at a end of school party at "Who da mans" because she didn't like what they were doing and where they were going. I was so proud of her!
12. Going to Kym Z's reception and watching my dad socialize and love every second of it. Going to Cafe Rio with my parents after.
13. Jason going to Zions Camp and Max going up on Saturday to stay over. Jason's text telling me what an amazing testimony he bore in front of all the big boys.
14. Emilee trying out for the Blue Angels soccer team and making it. I hope she likes it.
15. Hitting a metal fence in my tahoe on the way to Max's baseball game and completely destroying my car. I had a little breakdown that night and told Jason I was ready for the summer to already be over. Thank heavens he was calm and nice about the major damage.
16. Going to up to girls camp with the bishopric and seeing my emilee. She is so beautiful even after a full week of camping. I missed her! She bore the cutest testimony and seemed far beyond her years to me. I loved their song "We believe." We took up homemade icecream and brownies and we froze.
17. My mom came and took my kids to wallsburg to sleep for the night.
18. Jason heading up to Flamming Gorge with the teachers. He hasn't and won't be home one weekend this whole month because of scout camps. I love him for being willing to do all that he does.
19. Staying up late all by myself and watching "500 days of Summer."
20. We got a new tv in our family room. I'm not sure how I am going to like it. It's been kinda nice to never have the tv on in our home.
21. Max has been going to the PG and Orem Basketball camps and of course loves every second of it.
22. Going up to the Rockey Mountaiin Raceway to watch the Jet and funny cars. The entertaining crowd. Patricia asking us if we could leave and the lady yelling "WHOOOOOO!" Freaky! Eating dinner at Red Rock in Salt Lake at midnight.
23. Ending up in the ER on Fathers Day night. Jayne's was jumping on the bed and her teeth bit through her mouth and she had to get stitches. Of course it happened the minute all of my family showed up to have treats for fathers day.
24. I have the best dad in the world!
25. Bret and Nicole took our kids to sleep over while we went to get stitches.
26. Going to 7 Peaks for the first time. The ridiculously long lines, and them throwing away our food and drinks. Jayne warming up to the slides, and watching Abbie and Max go down the boomerang together. I love days when my kids just play with each other!
27. Soccer season is over. My girls played hard and loved it.
28. Going to get swimsuits with Emilee, Abbie, & my mom. We will have to see how they turn out.

32. Max started BYU camp today. He has been counting down the days. I couldn't get Craig's truck to start today and Jason and Craig had to come to my rescue and trade me trucks. I feel so jinxed lately.

1. Lucy and Jayne got to go to school with Emilee today for her preschool class. Em was a little nervous about all the responsibility of the whole activity. She also took Meagan, Brooklyn, & Sophie.
2. The kids end of school awards assembly. Abbie got "Positively Positive". And Max, "The best all around boy." I was a proud mother!
3. Watching Max at his Utah program. He had a speaking part and sang a million songs. He never cracked a smile once and kept his serious face on the whole time. He had a hard time doing all the actions all with it. His hands didn't really ever move with the rest of the kids.
4. Lucy got to go on a Lady Bug picnic with her kindergarten to the park. We didn't have a drink to put with her lunch so I sent her with a coke zero. I'm sure her teacher & other parents were concerned.
5. My mom and Grandma B stopped by for a minute. It made my day! We sat on the porch for a few minutes and talked. Mom brought over rice krispy squares and a dinosaur summer kindness challenge for my kids. They will love it!

May 18th - 26th
* My computer has been getting fixed so I haven't been keeping up on my journal. Here is a few of my favorite highlights of the past week and a half.
1. Because of the crazy weather, fathers and sons got cancelled. Jason and Max still went up to the cabin with some of their friends and had their own fun fathers and sons outing. Dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Heber, and then playing a BS dice game all night.
2. I have 4 of the cutest daughters to a have a girls night out with! We ate at the Pizza Factory, always my girls pick. Then went to the mall to shop. Jayne was difficult, surprised? Em had a breakdown in the dressing room because I am the strictest mom in the whole world about her clothes. "Why can't I just let her dress like everyone else?" Then we went out to McKinsey Warner's wedding reception, took a million pictures in the photo booths, and then ended the night back at our house watching Justin Beibir's "Never Say Never!" I caught the Beiber Fever!
3. Early morning soccer games. Jason and Max got home and rode the motorcycle over together.
4. Planting flowers and working in the yard all Saturday. Jason has it looking nice.
5. Jason insists that I am with him where ever he is. While he is working on the sprinklers in the yard, he makes me bring out a blanket and lay by him while he works. The sun felt so good!
6. He insisted that I go on the motorcycle behind him to sprinkler world to get a part. When they were out of what he needed, he headed to Springville to their other store. By back and butt couldn't handle going that far so I jumped off and started walking home. I hit a few stores and tried on some clothes and enjoyed myself for a bit all alone. When he came back I was only a few stores from where he dropped me off.
7. The India Palace for dinner with just Jason. I am so glad that we both LOVE that place so much!!
8. Jayne woke up with her usual Saturday Night fever. Does her body just try to get out of church? I wasn't planning on taking her and then Jason came home at 10:40 to pick us up and saw me in my pj's. Somehow he talked me into throwing on a skirt and going anyway. Then of course Jason ended up taking her home towards the end of Priesthood.
9. The yummiest bbq rib dinner out in our yard!
10. Jason and I visiting Linda C and her dog Lewy.
11. Making Brigham Young's buttermilk donuts for Max's Utah report.
12. The Heims for always being the best neighbors. We used their computer until 10:30 finishing up his report.
13. Going to watch Max give his Brigham Young report. He stood up their tall and confident and did a great job.
14. Lucy got strep and was sicker than I have ever seen her. Thank heavens for Dr. Kendall and antibiotics. She called in a prescription for Emilee and Jayne too.
15. Jason made it to Abbie's track meet while I was at the doctors.
16. Abbie's softball season has begun. She looks so cute out there in the field. Everything comes easy to that girl.
17. Emilee tried out for the AAA girls soccer league. She didn't' think it was going to be as hard as it was. Emilee made Jason go talk to the coach.
18. Abbie singing twinkle twinkle little star with her mouth closed at her class talent show. I love her!
19. Max playing on the Running Utes team at the factory. He completely blows me away every time I watch him play. That kid is amazing at basketball!!!
20. Me and Abbie making homemade oreo's to take to her readathon day. She was so excited.
21. Having Lucy home from school for a couple of days so we went for a walk, fed the horses, and played at the park forever. We played, Mother May I, Simon Says, Red Light Green Light, What Time is it, and then had races. Seriously she beat me every time.
22. Abbie telling me, "Don't worry about coming to my game, go to Max's it is more important." And I couldn't tell she was being sincere. Of course I went to half of hers and the other half of Max's.
23. Jayne singing "Baby, Baby, Baby, Oh!!!" during the Home teachers and she wouldn't stop.
24. Helping Emilee study for her Spanish final. And it is a GOOD thing I did.
25. Abbie's BIG sunglasses she word to meet her pen pal at the park. She couldn't stop telling me how cute she was.
26. Max playing against a full girls team at the factory, and they just about lost. Max was NOT having it and took matters into his own hands. I think he had over 20 points and made a million free throws in a row to win. After he told me that number 12 was cute.

3. Abbie had a bad day at school today. She came to the car and broke down in tears. She cried all night worrying about a picture that Miss Mather showed the class of her. I layed by her and tickled her back until she went to sleep while telling her all the embarrassing stories I have had in my life. It made her laugh.
4. I got to hold Janice's new baby Addy, when I took them dinner tonight. She was tiny!
5. Loading up on things I needed at Costco. I love the feeling of a full fridge and pantry.

1. Jason taking the girls to the park during my appointment today.
2. Dr. Wolsey for taking the time to listen to all my craziness. He has seen me at my best with my tears and all, many a times. My iud is out and my fingers are crossed.
3. Jason for hanging in there with me and for his love and support.
4. All the pictures of new babies hung on the wall at the doctors office. Am I done having babies? I am so grateful for those 5 incredible & perfect memories I have of holding my new babies at the hospital.
5. Inspiration.

1. A 6:00 AM walk up call as I got served french toast in bed by Lucy and Abbie. Who knew they knew how to make french toast. I was SO tired, I tried my best to sit up and eat. After a few bites I had to save the rest for later and went back to sleep for a little bit.
2. Jason didn't have his early morning meetings.
3. Jayne loves nursery!
4. The young men who sang Army's of Helman and had me crying.
5. Mari Carmen for substituting RS for me today!
6. A yummy mothers day dinner at Millers. Paul's cheesecake recipe.
7. Going to the Clarks to see my mom. My dad seemed so a happy and he tickled my back for an hour.
8. Memories of living on Grandview hill and a drive by my old houses.
9. Being raised by the BEST Mom in the whole world! (Seriously) I think about her and the kind of mom she was to me every day as I am trying to raise my own kids. I am so lucky to have her for my example!
10. All of the notes, hugs and kisses that I got all day from my kids. My greatest blessing in my life is being a mom! I love my 5 kids so much and feel so lucky to get to raise them!
