Zoo fun.

Today we went to the zoo it was great. The girls ran around everywhere and loved seeing all the animals. Sarahs friend Marni (from Palm springs) was here visiting so we enjoyed her being here and had lots of fun. Here are some photos.

Katelynn would like to say something....

hey family!! as said by my mother, i did go to girls camp, and i had a lot of fun. i also had my testimony strenghtened a lot!!!
basaically for most of the week we juts hung around camp with each other and the awesome leaders. we went on an overnight hike by clear lake, which is a about 1.5 miles from rucker.... its really hard to get woken up at 6:45 during the summer! :(. but we got hot chocolate!! friday was the testimony meeting, and it as touching. i bore my testimony and of course...i cried...A LOT!
being gone made me realize how much i missed my family and how much they mean to me. i love every one of you and i hope to see you soon!!

Hello, We are stopping by to say hey. Well lets see what is my family up too? ummmm.... Jared still working for the same wonderful household. A lot of exciting things happening in the business area. The girls are happy as can be we just got back from Palm springs!! Never have I seen my two little angels have so much fun. They became fishes when we were there, always in the pool! maybe the temperature of 107 had something do do with that Or a lot to do with it. My family was so excited to have us there they all came to see us and they returned when Jared arrived. Sarah lost another tooth(big surprise) The tooth fairy is getting poor! We just celebrated Sarah's birthday the big 7. She thinks she's officially a grown up. I don't know what's her hurry I am enjoying her baby years more than her. She is the perfect big sister so helpful loving and yes sometimes Mean. Lili is 1 Year old can you believe it! She has 8 teeth and 2 more coming in. She loves to dance and play with everything except her toys. She loves loves the water whether she takes a bath or goes swimming she just absolutely loves it. She has such a strong personality and she is just beautiful. As for me well I picked up painting again and I am still scrapbooking. Most importantly I am loving my family.

Thank you Hillary!

Hello from the Nathan Miles Bunch...we want to thank Hillary for her efforts in getting us all to keep up with the blogging on this site! We wanted to show our support by adding our two cents! We are doing great, the fact that we I (Samantha) am able to contribute right now shows that baby is resting for me which is a huge bonus, since she is going through her "all I want to do is be held all day" stage!
Nathan's store is really making progress, the final inspection is happening this week, and after that it should be smooth sailing for us to complete our handy work in the space, and get ready for opening day. We are going to be having a big party so we will make sure to send the details to all of you in case you think you might want to make the trip down to join us for the festivities.
The girls are having a fun summer, we TRY to give them something fun in each day to look forward to and it seems to be working, they are sharing their happiness in all of the fun activities we have been able to provide, and we are getting some lasting memories as a family.
We miss all of you and look forward to our trip to Maui, although we have to admit we don't quite now all of the logistics with traveling and the new store, but we will do all we can to make it work out.
Love you,
Nathan, Samantha, Claire, Madeleine, and Lucy
