Miller Family Conference

Miller Family Conference 2016

This year we had a storm trooper as a boyfriend for Hailey, a playmate for Jake, and a photo-op for everyone else. We had a blast spending time together and growing together as a family! I'm not sure which activity was my favorite: swimming at Popsicle Pond, nature walks through the meadow, or adventuring with cousins, but one thing I know for sure--I love the Miller Family and our tradition of Family Conference.

Happy Fourth of July

I wish I could write something that would speak the words in my heart. When I think of family gatherings, my heart swells with gratitude. Family offers my heart joy that can be found nowhere else. I am so grateful that God created families. I have now doubt that these family relationships go beyond the grave. They are eternal. And as we build stronger relationships here, we will be united in the eternities.

 Boat Races

This is the silliest tradition ever, and my favorite tradition ever! I love how excited we get over in-adamant objects. I love the cheering. I love the fun. I love the competition. I absolutely love it!

When we arrived home, we set off a few fireworks since we couldn't set them off at the cabin.

Family Conference Day 1

We had so much fun at this year's family conference. I loved Dan and Dana's creativity with the activities. They did a great job of involving everyone and creating excitement among-st the family. My favorite activity was the challenging egg drop. I loved the anticipation and the excitement of the kids as their contraptions protecting their eggs were dropped from the deck. With each round and each new drop, a new twist was added to the game. By the end, my cheeks were sore from laughing and smiling--which is always a good problem to have.
