We made this one too, Emily has so many favorite pictures from her high school times while in the Color Guard, it was hard to just pick a few

A Collage of Fun times

This is just a little Collage Emily and I put together to send to the BYU Band Director in hopes of Emily being able to join their Color Guard Team next fall. We know how hard it is getting into BYU, but if you dont try, you will never know right? Because Emily is Emily, she has plan "B" in place already. :O)

She just loves Color Guard so much, being with the Band and making music. Its been her goal and hope to perform in the Cougar stadium. We will see,....

"She's a Senior Now!"

I took Emily out for a little photo shoot last Saturday, I couldnt resist

taking the opportunity capturing her in her Letterman's jacket.

She has been in Band and Color Guard for 4 years now, her jacket is all decorated with patches and pins that mean the most to her!

We are so proud of our girl.
love you Emily!

Balboa Beach, bay side

My dad rented a great little beach cottage this summer at Newports back bay.

Its such a beautiful place, seeing the boats go by is so relaxing too.

My Mom and Dad rented beach houses for us kids when we were in high school and would let us take a friend, it was heaven being on the beach for 7 days back then. Its neat how he continued this same tradition years later, My sister Terra and her husband Mike brought their two boys for the week, It was a great time shared by family.

Thanks Dad for inviting us!

We welcome with Love .......

Austin Lee Miller

My Beautiful Sister in Law,....... Anna.

Both my brother and sister in law are Doctors in the Navy. Its just been this past year that they have been close by to family. Its so good to have them here. My brother served in Iraq and had to be away from his family for 6 months. As soon as he got back, they received the good news that Anna would have a new addition to their family. Austin was born!

He is the 2nd son born to them, Zachary is 7 years old.

I was so fortunate to be able to photograph this beautiful time in their lives.

And now to embarrass my Brother!
I just love the look on his face, the smile of joy he has for his son.
Brandon honestly is just the best dad ever!!!
Im so proud of him for the way he treats his wife and is such a great dad to his sons.

Little Cutie Ba Tootie!

We welcome you to our family Austin <3>

My Dottie !

I had a photo shoot today, and when I was done, I couldnt resist photographing my Dottie! Emily has been my assistant since she was 7 years old. She would come to the Temple with me when I photographed weddings, that was when I used film. She would organize everything for me, keeping all the roles together, and then being sure I had the film ready when I ran out. I cant believe that was 10 years ago, and she is still my right hand girl.I love her so much.Thanks Emily for always being there to help me!

Celebrating ...

Band Camp Officially Over!!!!

I love this picture of Emily! So candid but showing her loving her life as Color Guard Captain and celebrating her last day of Band Camp! This has been a great program for our girl and we are so thankful for the things she has learned while being a leader for the girls. She is quiet and soft spoken as a Captain but she says she is like that because "once you raise your voice, you have lost your audience."

(We are so proud of the choices she has made and continues to make)

gosh being a mom is the best!!
