The REST of October!!

Yeah, I'm really not doing too well updating lately. I've had a lot on my mind, but all things I probably shouldn't post on here :) But I thought I would at least get some photos up for the family that does keep an eye on this for updates!!

October...

Taylor finished up her soccer season.




Drew turned 9!! It's unbelievable!! His birthday fell on a Monday, and we had a busy weekend leading up to it! On Saturday Tay had 2 soccer games and Millsy had a football game, then Sunday he got to go to the Browns Steelers game in Pittsburgh with Aunt Katy (I'll post on that later) and Monday we had other plans as well, so we let him open his gifts Sunday night when he got home from the game! He had a few friends ove a few weeks later to finish off the celebration!
Here are some photos from the SUPERBOWL GAME!! His team went undefeated and won the Superbowl game pretty big. He got to be captain, so he was absolutely thrilled about that! Here he is with the other captains.
Getting his name announced before the game! Trying hard not to show that he's thoroughly enjoying every moment!!
Some great defense!!
The coaches that not only lead these guys through a great season, but became good friends through their time together! Hopefully many more years of coaching along side each other.
Millsy and Millsy Jr, celebrating the championship as only a Millsy could!! Kissing the trophy!!
And of course a little Moser family Halloween action! Some are getting a little too old to trick or treat, but according to Grandma Debbie, never too old to get into the photo! This year we had the pleasure of having ALL the grankids as Jer and Christina and Graham made the trek up from Columbus!! Isn't that little Superman just the cutest!!
Tag teaming crime fighters!! Trying to figure out who started the fire, or what else they may be able to throw into the fire... I'm not sure! :)
And of course, Officer Mills catching the Gangsta. Hopefully locking him up until his room is clean!

Off to a basketball game, but I'll try and get November up soon, as well as the Steelers game!

OBX 2010

Last week we had the opportunity to go on vacation with Nate's family! We took a trip to the Outer Banks, North Carolina. It was a wonderful week away, very refreshing in so many ways!

Lots of photos... I'll try and keep the comments brief!

Here is Toby as he heads out to the ocean for the first time. A little excited!!
Taylor catching some waves on her wave board!
Taylor had a lot of fun in the private pool, especially with her cousin Lincoln!
A shot of Taylor off our 3rd floor balcony.
This was our first morning. Nate and I got up each morning for some quiet time on the beach, and to enjoy the sunrise!
(Ok... no comments about this one... I said it was EARLY! )
This is a view of our house from the sand dune. We had a pretty short walk, but some days it was a Very Hot Walk!
Here is our house for the week. Toby called it the "Big House" :)
Drew having fun in the pool!
And Taylor and daddy playing catch!
It's a little hard to see, but the second morning, we had the honor of getting a show from the dolphins. I couldn't get a good shot, but you can can see about 2/3rds up on the right is one!


We celebrate Matt's birthday, Grandma Debbie's birthday and Mer and Michael's anniversary while we were there. We got grandma an ice cream cake! She was surprised!
Some of the guys hanging out in the game room!
We also had family photos taken on the beach. I may have more of these to share when we get the files from the photographer, but these are ones taken with our camera.

Grandma and Grandpa with all 10 grandkids.

Some shots of my babies!




Toby played in this sand hole the entire final day at the beach. I love this shot, he clearly wasn't expecting the "cool" water! I'm sure it was refreshing though!
This is what Drew thinks of vacation!

Drew and daddy riding the waves!


Toby got a Wonka bar!! He was REALLY hoping for a golden ticket...
On our trip home, we stopped off in Lexington, Virginia so Nate could get his Civil War fix. We visited Stonewall Jackson's House.

And Lee Chapel
This is a great photo Nate took of the Jackson memorial. He doesn't have the camera in his hands often, but I thought this was a GREAT shot!
All in all, a wonderful time, and much needed R&R for the Mills Family!

God is Good!

Post Parade Activities

This year, I figured we'd try and have a camp out with the Mills/Moser Cousins after the parade!! It was kinda a last minute thing, but it was so much fun! I grabbed some hot dogs and S'more stuff, some firewood (wonder where I got that!) and got the tents out! After fighting traffic to get out of Orrville, we all made it to our place by around 9PM or so.

We quickly found out that Lincoln had never had a hot dog over a campfire!! WHAT??? We couldn't believe it! He said he enjoyed it, while texting of course! I think he's fighting with his bun in this photo, but his phone was never far away! Teenagers, right?

And the S'Mores! Oh My Goodnes!! Have you seen those HUGE marshmallows at the stores? My wonderful Sister-in-Law decided those would be a great idea! So she brought a bag along! They were wonderful, but messy! Especially for my 5 year old! As you can see, Toby (or Woody) was covered! By the time he was done, he had graham cracker STUCK to his hands, and could not pull his fingers apart, they were rather glued together! Derek and Averie enjoyed the fire as well!

They all did a great job once they fell asleep, around 1 AM!!! They all slept through the night! They started staggering into the house around 8 AM and were very hungry! We made a nice big breakfast then they took turns playing Playstation and Wii. It was rather entertaining!! These kids are so funny!

After a little while of that, I pushed them all out the door! They played some in the tent!
And played a little baseball and basketball! Taylor, Braden and Lincoln played pig! I think Taylor did pretty well...
Until Lincoln layed this one in!! :) I won't tell you what the hoop is set at, I'll allow Lincoln to disclose that if he wants!
It was a wonderful time, and got us all very excited about our upcoming family vacation to the Outer Banks!! Love them all!!

God is Good!
