There's nothing like Going Out On TOP!!!

Joey's football team won the Championship!!! It was, by far, the BEST game EVER!!! But I think we all knew it would be. This was their final year of youth football. Next year they will be playing Freshman ball. This team has been together since 4th grade, and Troy has been there with them coaching all along. So has our great friend Kent Bauman. The two of them make a great balance when it comes to coaching. The night was filled with mixed emotions. Excitement for the Championship Game, I had butterfly's all day! And Sorrow, because we knew this was the last game for these boys as a team. They couldn't have made the night any better! I do have to say.... SORRY Mom, I kind of blew work off..... I spent the day painting banners & signs for the game. I had a Good Luck banner hanging on the front of the house for Joey when he got home from school. And then two more for the game. I also made signs to pass out throught the crowd to cheer our team on. We have the GREATEST fans!!!
This picture was taken just before the game started.

This Joey's buddy Prentiss Miller. He played on the Hurricane opposing team. He is a very talented athlete!

These boys think they are pretty HOT STUFF!

Kent is holding Benny. This is a little brother of one of our players. This cute little family was at every practice, and they have the cutest kids. Troy fell in love with them, especially little Benny. He made him one of the coaches of the team. COACH BENNY! It was great, at practices Troy would have him yell GIVE ME A LAP!!! The boys loved it.

Joey smashed cake in Troys face after the game.

Looks like we missed an AWESOME game. Wish we could have been there. Joey, we are SO proud of you and your athletic ability. We love you so much.

Troy... you are an awesome coach! You always make sure everyone is included and I'm sure you made Coach Benny's night with the added attention. You are SO great at that.

Congrats on the BIG win! Can't wait till next year in the big league! So.. are Troy & Kent going to help coach next year at Dixie??

Oh my word! How long has it been, 10, 15 years? I cannot believe you are a grandma!!! Hands down you are the best looking grandparents I have ever seen! Funny thing is I saw you either last year or the year before in St. George at a dance competition. You were right in front of us taking pictures. I tried to get your attention, but the second you were done you ran off. Anyway it was nice hearing from you. Oh, and congrats on your new baby. I’ll have to look you up next time in town. It would be fun to catch up. Keep in touch.

I finally did it!

Well, here you go! This is for all of you that have told me to set up a blog for the past... who knows how long. I just hope I can keep it updated regularly like the rest of you. I figured this would be the best time to set this up, since I now only have 5 more days until our new little bundle of joy arrives. That's right, for all of you who are unaware, the Miller family is having a baby! I know... ten years later, what are we thinking? Who knows? But we are all so excited we can hardly stand it. We all count the days down constantly. I thought this would be a great way to share our joy in the days, and years to come.
