It's a beautiful time of the year

The weather is really great right now. We have cool nights & pleasantly warm days. The leaves are a brilliant yellow & some are falling fast. [Well if you have trees they are.;)]
 We took a ride up to Ouray on Saturday, wow it is just gorgeous up there. Sometime Dale & I are going to leave the children with their "favorite" Aunt & Uncle and we are going to spend the night in Ouray.:)
 After we got up to Ouray those snow covered mountains called us to come closer... So we drove on up to where we could actually feel the snow.:)

Beautiful isn't it?!?!

Of course they had to see how easily they could make snow balls with the snow.:)

Sierra was safely tucked in a blanket & was in no mood to join the troops on the wall.:)

We took the children to the park in Delta earlier in the week...

Note worthy for the evening was the fact that Sierra slept the whole time in her car seat!

She does not enjoy her car seat & this was a milestone for her.:)

Now I really need to feature Sierra's "nanny" [so named by Shane]

Briana is a wonderful help to me! She can take care of Sierra better then any of the other children. The nanny title came about one day when Shane told Briana that Sierra wants her real mom not her nanny.:)

Of course the rest of the siblings love to spend time with Sierra too...

Is this classic goofy Miller's or what?

I love the way my nephews enjoy holding Sierra too.:) Sean does really well with her. His patience with getting her to settle down amazes me.

Oh and I must tuck this picture in here...

Brit celebrated her 22nd birthday last week & I was honored to make her cake!

I forgot to get Sky to pose with his cake, there was one for him too. I feel so honored that they prefer these choc. layer cakes to bakery made birthday cakes!

Still not sure if she will end up sucking her thumb or not... She tries to get it in her mouth when she is half asleep but usually just gets mad at herself because she can't get it to do what it should.
