More McCall


We love playing in the park right outside our condos. I love the human totem pole- Three generations of Miles'- I'm pretty impressed that Dad agreed to try this. It's called Brown Park and is right on the water. It is so pretty and in years past we've seen a few weddings here during our stay. I also love that all of us girls are such Twilight Addicts. We all brought our books and I listened to Breaking Dawn on CD on the ride, which made the 7+ hour ride much better.
Johnn even listened for a little bit, but he still thinks we are all crazy. Mikey loved playing with all his cousins and learned how to say "uh-oh" while we were there. So now he drops things on purpose just to say it... he's a stinker, but still too cute. Poor little Whitney slipped on the floor the first day and broke her tibia, but she handled it very well. Johnn's mom also fractured her foot earlier that same morning, so she had to take it easy the whole week. I feel so bad for her, but everyone still managed to have a great week. We also enjoyed boating and Camie and Lisa had fun pulling some Titanic moves.

Mikey did so well on the bike. He made it through the 18 mile loop around the lake without any complaints. He even fell asleep for about half an hour on the bumpiest, dirt portion of the loop.

Wyoming weekend

We were fortunate enough to steal away for a short weekend up at the cabin while Alli was in town. It was absolutely beautiful up there and the grass and flowers are so tall that we would lose sight of the 4-wheeler trails. Michael had so much fun playing with his cousin Claire and Aunt Alli. We can't wait until you guys come back again.

Michael loves playing in the boat... as long as he doesn't have a life jacket on. He hates them, which makes it harder for us to get out and ski together, but we're working on it. We had such a fun trip and perfect weather the whole time. I think that it's the first year that we haven't gotten poured on at least one of the days. We enjoyed boating, camping, swimming, camp fires, games, and relaxing. Can't wait for next year.

Celebrity Collage by MyHeritage

MyHeritage: Celebrity Collage - Pedigree - Family history


I have been told over the years that I look like Anne Hathaway or Liv Tyler, so I thought it would be interesting to give this a try. I am not so sure about how accurate this is, but still fun to see.

Newport Beach Trip


It's hard to tell in the silhouette, but Johnn is holding Mikey. This was his first time seeing the ocean & he loved it.


Mikey absolutely loved the sand. He liked playing in it, and eating it too... he came home pooping sand!

All the Miller kidlins. In August there will be one more, and we can't wait to meet little Meg.

Beach Favorites:
*Being with family
*Boogie boarding/ body surfing
*watching the guys surf (or as Johnn calls it "swimming with a board")
*Games (Carcassonne- love the new expansion)
*Nanny's yummy cooking
*Visiting the Temple
*Late night movies
*Seaside Donuts
*Laying out on the beach with a good book
*Running in the sand
*Cruising on the new bikes down the boardwalk
*Lunch at Charlie's
*Sunsets
*Sandcastles with the kids

I can't wait for next year! C.J. will be home so we will have the whole family there.
