The Hope of America

Jenny is THE HOPE OF AMERICA! Is she cute or what! Beautiful hair like her grandma Z, snappy braces, happy eyes, great outfit, but most important of all a gentle kindness that touches all she is around. Jenny Grandpa and I are so proud of you!!!

If you thought Jenny was cute in that last picture check out this one out.

Tyler is turning into a fish. He is learning to love his grandma's favorite sport. He gets his goggles and those flashy yellow fins on and away he swims. I am so glad I got to come see you swim. I want to come to a swim meet. Tyler I am proud of you!

Katy does some gymnastic tricks that are unbelievable. She has a hard time ever holding still. Katy I want to come to one of your classes again. Maybe you and I could teach Grandpa to do a cartwheel. Katy and Jenny made up the most unique dance on the Provo High Football seats, I am sure they could preform at half time next fall.

There is some magic that flows from Shawn and his Grandma Z. Both their eyes light up when they see each other. I believe a grandma's love for her grand children runs very deep. Heaven will be incredible when we relearn all of our family connections. Who we lived with before this life and how we will all live in the heaven to come. I believe these two will be very close. I am proud of you too Shawn. I love the Clarks! Bret and Nic you are doing a fabulous job raising your little tribe!

Miller's Field Day

Emilee is looking mighty happy in this picture, but there is a brave story that happened before. Emilee has been practicing and practicing with Max to win the 1 mile race at field day. Everyone lined up and headed out like a pack hungry wolves. Just a few feet into the race Emilee gets knocked down hard. She stands up with bloody knees, but she jumps up and decides to race anyway. Off she goes, way behind. Pure determination and grit make her keep going. She sprints the last quarter of a mile and passes everyone. She comes in an amazing 5th.

When they checked out her legs, they were so full of gravel that Jason took her to the Insta-Care, where she got 5 stitches. The good part of the story is that the Dr. who stitched her up was the Jr. High School Soccer Coach, and he invited her to try out today. So Emilee returned to school with a big smile on her face, she raced in several more relays and she was the hero of the School. They slipped a Gold Metal in her pockets, which she surely deserved. Emilee your Grandma was so proud of you today. You showed everyone how to be brave!

Here is handsome Max right after he ran over the finish line. He cleaned house and came in way ahead of everyone. He was # 1. Max I am proud of you, but the best part was when you put your arms around Emilee and felt so sad for her. She is lucky to have you for a brother.

Sweet Lucy graduated today from Miss Misty's Preschool. She sang her heart out and announced she is going to be a skater when she grows up. Get ready kindergarten here comes Miss Lucy! It was just a minute ago that Dax and Jace where there.

Abbie took fifth place in her race, she ran like the wind. Abbie has so many fun friends. She has a happy heart. She takes good care of Jayne. I love these Miller winners!

Happy Birthday Matt!

Happy Birthday Handsome Matt. I love your slightly crocked smile and your always bright eyes. You look great in your hats. You have made Jamie so happy. Thank you all the many times you cover for her, while she does hair, or her friend things. I like getting up early and having a bowl of cereal with you. I am trying to get our lawn to look like it did when you lived here. That will be impossible. Our garage door is still working since you fixed it. I love your boys, there is so much in each one of them that is you. I wonder if they will do those quick couple of steps you do as you run for the ball in out field? Will they like shoes as much as you do? Bet they will love to golf with you. You are a great Dad, Husband, and Son-in-law. Tom and I are crazy about you. Hope you have a Fantastic Day!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Mother's Day 2010

Bret, Kim, Kelly, Jamie, and Matt,
Being your Mom has been the greatest adventure of forever! What joy you have been to me. This is the little card your Dad gave me the morning after Bret was born. It says, "The World Is Full Of Wonders" and so it is. I am so glad we are mixed up in each others lives and we laugh and cry with each other. I must think of each of you fifty times a day and each time I smile. Thank you for being who you are. I am always so proud of you! I thank the Lord for letting us all be Clarks and take this journey together. I love you!

Jason

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANDSOME, KIND JASON!
It is Christmas night, everyone is busy, Jason is tenderly holding little Jayne who has a fever. Oh that every child could have a Dad like Jason. Miller children you are so blessed to have your Dad. He is so wise for a young thirty five year old. Jason blessed many lives: his ward members, his neighborhood, the boys on every team he coaches, his family, our family, the Miller employees, especially the cute Mexicans who would do anything for him, especially the one who put a goat in the construction truck. I always feel safe knowing Jason is in charge of his little family as they explore on the rhinos, boat, motorcycle and much more. He is in-charge of his little flock and they are taken good care of. If the Dads and Husbands were line up around the world, I would pick you for Kim, and I would pick you for my grandchildren. You are honest, hard working. kind, and Tom and I love you! Thank you for belonging to our family!

I love Jason's hand in this picture with his wedding ring. Kimmy is drop dead gorgeous, and Jayne makes you want to hold on to those cute ears and kiss those beautiful lips. Jason Happy Birthday. . . our blessings are many becauce of you!!!

Mr. Chickster

Another snowy day, can you believe it! Grandpa is walking down the road to get rid of the "extras" from the birth of his newest little colt. Mr. Chickster. He is a cutie, big and strong and hungry. I am missing all of you this night. I hope you are all warm and happy too. Life is good!
