My family is amazing! I don't know why God chose to bless me so abundantly with my husband and children, but I sure am thankful He did! The 4 of us have so much fun together. We work side by side to keep our place running, we all work together to help each other practice for whatever event is coming up, we encourage and pray for each other, listen to each other, and share in whatever joy or sorrow we are having. Last night, after a long, HOT practice session in the roping pen, Cody, Michaela and I "plotted" against Randy to start a water fight. We had the water guns stashed behind the shed and got him when he wasn't expecting it. Of course, it turned into a full blown water fight among us all! It really hit me afterward when Cody came up, put his arm around me and said, "We have a lot of fun together, don't we Ma". And, yes, we do! So, cherish your family. Spend time with each other. Love and encourage each other. Most of all, thank God for every minute you have with your family!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5488240498418060372-8872954600299665916?l=millsropin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Mills Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03726483752485177709noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488240498418060372.post-88348334698821775902009-06-10T20:14:00.000-07:002009-06-10T20:30:56.848-07:00<div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_neCZHDG9qHM/SjB3N3zHUzI/AAAAAAAAAD0/OvNY42srUuc/s1600-h/Cowboy+Prom+"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345903837889123122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_neCZHDG9qHM/SjB3N3zHUzI/AAAAAAAAAD0/OvNY42srUuc/s200/Cowboy+Prom+%2709+023.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Girls will be girls!
