Thanksgiving!

Russ, Will, and JT!
We had a great Thanksgiving! We went to the ranch, and we were all there! Jill and Mike came from Kansas to make the whole Mills clan complete! We had so much fun. We played in the snow with the 4-wheelers, went sledding down the ultimate hill!(seriously is the best hill ever. It is a dirt road that doesn't get plowed, and is way long we get going like 20-30mph, so awesome!), games, movies, chatting all night long, good FOOD, and the "Mills Untalented Talent Show!" It was a fun filled packed few days!

Grammie, Lucy and Dixon!

JT on the sled!

Playing Games! Of course, Mike kept on winning this one!

Max and his Talent! He truly does have a talent at this!

Mike being the MC for the show!

The Cluff clan! Notice Nick isn't in it, but he said he came up with the idea so it counts! :)

Britney! She did a great job too! Notice Max and her didn't do one together! :) Britney said she kept on giving Max ideas, and he shot them all down so she said then he need to do his own talent, so they each did their own! Way to go Brit!!!So great!

The Gamble gang! Love this song!! And Mike's hair! ;)

The Rigby rascals! JT was so excited to be in charge of the frog! He did a great job!

And the best for last! Pa, Grammie, and Jac! The song playing is called "Superman's Daughter"! So appropriate! And all Pa had to do was hold the paper! We were all surprised that he even did that!

Well, that was our Untalented Talent Show! We had a great time and can't wait for the next time!!! Love you guys! And miss you Gambles!

Halloween!!!

We had a great Halloween! We carved a pumpkin, went to Cornbelley's, and did some trick or treating! We decided to go as Peter Pan people as a family! Justin was Peter Pan, I was Wendy, JT was Captn. Hook, and Lucy was Tinker Bell! We went with Grammie and Jac to their ward Trunk or Treat, and then JT went with his cousins, the Cluffs, trick or treating. He got some good stuff and had a lot of fun! It was a great Halloween!

Our Speed racer!

We had a great Saturday! It was Homecoming all week for BYU, and they have a Cougar Run on Saturday morning! So we signed JT up to run the 200m! He was so excited. We have been practicing all week. We would go to the indoor track and let him run with us. He does so good! And seems to enjoy it. So we asked him if he wanted to race other kids and he said Yes with a big smile! We got up early Saturday and went to the track to get ready. He got a t-shirt, and a #. He was so excited to have a number. He wore his super fast shoes, jogging pants, gloves, and cool headband! We warmed up with a little jog and he was set ready to go! He did so good! He ran the whole thing by himself with dad coaching him along the way! He took 6th place out of 17 boys! He was so proud, and even prouder of the ribbon he got!
Then we went and got blue pancakes, and watched the parade! Then we came home for a quick rest and then off to the the football game. Jac and her friend Nate came with us. JT and Lucy made it through he whole game. They were awesome! We had so much fun! And even funner because BYU won! It was a great day!

Birthdays!!!

JT is the big 3!!! His getting to big to fast! I love this kid. He is so funny and has the funnest personality. He is my best buddy! I love to spend time with him. We get to play all day. He had a great birthday. It all started on Saturday when we went to Build-A-Bear, with Grammie and Pa. They get all the grandkids a bear on their 3rd Birthday. We rode the Frontrunner train into the Gateway. JT loves to ride any train. He then picked out a camo bear in a Woody outfit! So awesome! Then On Sunday we had everyone for cake and icecream! JT wanted a train cake, and wanted it to be Thomas, so that is what I attempted to do. It turned out ok! He got lots of fun things! Thanks everyone. And then on Monday 20th, his real birthday, we went just as a family to Nickel City arcades. We had a great time and to top things off! JT hit the jackpot on one of the games and won 1,000 tickets! Awesome! He got to pick whatever he wanted at the prize station! Well, I think he had a great few days! Happy Birthday JT!

4th of July!!!

Celebrating the 4th of July! It feels a little weird blogging about the 4th of July when it is the 1st of September, but oh well, I guess better late than never! Right?!
We had a great time. We watched Centerville's Parade. The Cluff's, Max and Brit, and Grandma Diana watched it with us!

Before the Move to Utah!

On our way to Utah from Texas!!! We stopped Moab and climbed to this arch. Lucy and I didn't go all the way, but Justin and JT did. We made the long trip from San Marcos, Texas to Kaysville, UT. It was a long one but we had a good time.
JT and Justin climbed to the top of this arch!!!

JT decided to pour himself some cereal!!!
