Jett

OMIGOSH! I was in seventh heaven this weekend! Jett (along with his parents) came to visit, and I just couldn't get enough of him. He makes the funniest sounds and faces. I can hardly wait until they come again next weekend!

He is almost out of his newborn clothes.

Now if I could only get Adyson and Tyson here again!

Spring

While it's officially spring, I'm not sure the weather knows that. We have been having warm and cold weather for the past month or so. Last week was so encouraging for nice spring weather, and then last night the wind really kicked up again. It's trying to rain right now and it may even snow tomorrow. Oh, well, we knew that was how spring was in Utah when we returned. At least the birds are coming back. Even with snow still on the ground and ice on the water, a gray heron put in an early appearance a few weeks ago. Then just recently, a white crane reappeared. The following two pictures were taken from my bedroom window. (The thistles are on the slope going down to the walking path just below our backyard.)

This following picture is mostly for Adam and Kasey. There are all kinds of things (in addition to Key Lime Pie) that are made from the small, tart key limes. One of our favorites when we lived there was this key lime soda. Last week I was picking up some case lot sale items at Macey's, and when I went down the soda aisle, this jumped into my cart. I surprised Brent by bringing it home. Our Key West friends can get it all the time, and those of you who have never had it don't even know what you are missing!

Of course, one of my favorite things right now is our 2-week-old Jett. This picture is a week old, but I still think it's adorable. I can hardly wait for him to come spend the first weekend in April with us! Sam has a National Guard weekend scheduled then just a few miles from here, so Rachel and Jett are coming up here, too.

Jett Aaron Miller

Just like Jett coming a week early, we didn't want to wait until next weekend to go down to see him. (We were already planning on going down then.) So we drove down to Cedar City today to meet our newest grandchild. We definitely were not disappointed! He's got a lot of hair (more than his two cousins put together!), is very cuddly and lovable (gramma had a hard time sharing him), and, other than being tired, Rachel and Sam are doing well. Jett was born Friday, March 6, at 8:02 in the evening. He was 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20 inches long. We met the kids at the hospital and then went home with them.

He did not like being put in his car seat,

but once he had the blankets put back

around him, he settled down.

He was so mad before the blankets were

put back around him that he cried (and you

could tell it was a mad cry) and his little chin

quivered. Rachel said that that was the most

he had cried for his entire two days of life.

Happy daddy!

He actually did open his eyes while we
were there, but not much or for very long.

Brent's Fun

Not only do we have a new house to decorate, but we also have an awesome garage that Brent loves playing in. It's a three-car, extended garage, and in the extra section he is building his workshop. Not one to miss a bargain, the first picture shows the lumber he was able to get for just $18.00. The second one shows the start of his workbenches. The last picture is of his new tool box.

Our next post will be pictures of the newest member of our family, Jett Aaron Miller. He made his arrival Friday evening (a week early), and we are going to go see him Sunday morning. We are wwwwaaaaaaayyyyyy excited!
