Miles Family

While we were in Utah, Court blessed sweet baby Libby, and it was so much fun to be able to be a part of such a special time.  We're glad we were invited. ;)  But I have been thinking so much lately about my sweet parent, and the sacrifice that they are making to go and serve the Lord in a faraway country (most likely) and can't help but be so proud of them!  They are the BEST parents that anyone in the world could ask for, and they are going to be phenomenal mission presidents.  I tell Cole all the time how JEALOUS I am of their missionaries that they are going to have, because my Dad is a spiritual GIANT!  We learned so much from him growing up, and it is because of both of my parents that my testimony of the church is so strong.  They are so loving and kind, but they also know how to discipline (and give a great lecture) so that you still know how much they love you.  Their missionaries are SO lucky to have them as leaders while they are serving the Lord as well, and I just hope and pray that they are good to my parents.  I love my parents so much.  We will all miss them terribly, but know that they are doing what is asked of them by the Lord, and that we will all be blessed in turn for the wonderful service that they are providing to the German people.  We love you Mom and Dad- don't ever forget it! 

The official "Call"! It actually came a few days before they got to open it, but my Dad was in Nebraska and my Mom of course wanted to wait for him to open it- but that doesn't mean that we didn't take a few pictures of it! ;) Here's all the girls.  I'm SO glad that Mal is in the pic!  I LOVE having a sister in law! (Not including the ones in the Smith family of course- I love them too. :)

Such a sweet face1

Me and the sweet baby Libster.  She was SUCH a great baby during the whole event!  She knew what a special day it was for her.

How handsome are my 2 Grandfathers!  I'm so lucky to have such a great legacy before me.

Lincoln is silly.  He is so crazy- what can you do!?

All 5 of us (and Libby) WOW do we ever look like siblings in this picture!  Weird to see us all grown up like this!

The Motley Crew- Tyler, Courtney, Mindy, Dick, Brenda, Rachel and Bryson

Here we are with our spouses.  We were going to try and wrangle all the kids for a picture as well, but realized it would have taken us like half an hour! 

Like I said...here are some attempts at a shot with Libby

I seem to remember picking my nose in a LOT of picture when I was little- so I can totally see where the appeal comes from Payton!  Keep diggin man!

The best one...Notice Morgan keeps getting lower and lower each shot.  She was on the floor by the end!  Whoops! Maybe Lincoln isn't quite big enough to hold her just yet! i guess that just means that it's not QUITE time for another baby to come along. :)

Because THIS is my baby!  YEAH!
