Richard & Rosann's Wedding

It was a happy fall day when I found out my oldest brother was getting married!  Rosann fits right into the craziness of the Miller family.  I think they are a great couple.

Now I have to begin by saying I love my husband!  However, sometimes we don't communicate very well.  Which I think is the case in most marriages.  I wish Richard and Rosann all the luck in the world.  Anyway, Rob had to work the morning of the wedding so he missed the wedding ceremony.  We previously decided he would just meet us down at the temple after the ceremony for pictures.  We got out of the ceremony and I was texting Rob asking him where he is.  After about 20 minutes of going back and forth asking each other where the other one was I had a crazy thought that maybe Rob went to the wrong temple.  And sure enough, he traveled to the Bountiful temple via the Salt Lake temple from Layton.  For those of you who do not live in Utah, you pass Bountiful on your way to Salt Lake from Layton.  I didn't realize until it was too late that I had not communicated where the ceremony was going to be well enough.  Or the fact that the invitation was on the front of the fridge.  Rob didn't make it for family pictures but he was there the rest of the day.  He got some great pictures though!

I thought this would be a fun picture to include.  The photographer always make you do crazy things on your wedding day.  But it's fun to see the pictures later!

My mom wanted me to take pictures of all the families at the wedding.  I think the pictures turned out pretty well for being amateur!

AND

Rob and I (and David).  We didn't realize he had jumped in the picture until after it was taken.  I seriously love digital cameras.  I love how you can look at the pictures instantly and take another one if you have unexpected people in the background of your pictures.  While my brother Steve was taking this picture his oldest son Miles said to me, "Aunt Richelle, I just have one question for you." I said, "OK. What is it?"  Miles said "When are you going to have kids?"  It seems we get asked this question a lot at family get togethers.  And it isn't usually the adults.  It's more the kids.  A week after we were married my sister's oldest son Jennings asked us when we were going to have kids because he wanted to babysit.  I wish I had a better answer for everyone, but we really don't know.  Hopefully soon!!

All in all I thought it was a successful day.  The wedding luncheon was the best I have ever had!  I was glad they didn't serve chicken cordon bleu for once!  And then they had the best soups for the refreshment at the reception.  If I had another reception, I would totally serve soup.  Who says you have to stick with the cookies or cakes.  I thought the soup idea was awesome!

We said farewell to Richard and Rosann.  And yes, that is a corn husk on the antenna.  I guess it's against the law to put anything behind the vehicle now.  Something about a danger hazard.  Whatever!

Uncle Richard

I think my favorite uncle has always been my dad's brother Richard.  My mom's brothers and brother-in-laws tried to play with me, but they ended up scaring me most of the time.  So I never really liked them.  They are less scary now but I think Richard is still my favorite.  Maybe it is because my uncle Richard has a daughter close to me age.  Or maybe it's because he always seems to truly care about what is going on in my life.  Who knows.  Anytime we get together I take pictures of the brother's.  I think they look a lot alike and have the same great big smile!  They sure do have a lot of fun stories to re-tell every time we get together.  It's a lot of fun.  

Waiting For Daddy

Maggie often waits for Rob to get home by waiting by the front door.  I think it's super cute!  She loves Rob.  I can't imagine our house without her.

Homemade Donuts!

One of the benefits of being married to Rob is he can make almost anything my heart desires.  The bad thing is Rob makes it so good I want to eat the whole batch.  Last Sunday he made homemade donuts.  They don't look like the store bought donuts, but they tasted awesome!  My mouth is watering just looking back and these pictures.  I bet you're getting hungry from Rob's homemade donuts.  Aren't ya?!

Canning

I was really bummed about having to throw out most of our food storage after it was exposed to high volumes of mold.  So I promised myself I would immediately start to replenish our supply.  In August Rob's buddy from high school had connections to get 40 lb boxes of apples for $10!  We jumped at the chance.  We then canned for the next two weeks or so.  I am just now starting to even look at apples again.  Haha!  This was a major blessing.  Last year Rob's mom helped us make apple pie filling that was awesome.  We wanted to do that again this year.  However, we added cranberries to the recipe.  You have to understand that Rob is an amazing cook and often likes to add things to an existing recipe.  Which usually works out more amazing than the original!  This was no exception.  The pie filling is amazing!  We haven't actually made pie yet but it is super yummy on oatmeal waffles!  Mmmm I need to make some oatmeal waffles now.  Anyway, I can't remember how many cans we filled but our food storage supply is slowing building back up.  It feels good to be prepared!
