Hobby???

For years I have been told to, "go find a hobby" I just figured that was a nice way of saying "leave me the hell alone!!"

I have always enjoyed photoshop but I feel lazy sitting at my computer all day. So I had to really sit down and think.... HMMM what would be a good hobby that would still allow me to bother Drew, follow him around, doing whatever his daily activity was while still being able to say "Are we finished yet, can we go home"? UMMM... Then it hit me like a 200mm zoom lens. PHOTOGRAPHY!! I mean really, how annoying is that. Someone following you around taking pictures of you like it was your first steps!!

I attempted to go 4 wheeling with Drew today in the dunes, it turns out I suck. Sand is totally different to ride on then good old' Utah Dirt!! I made it up and down a few big hills, got some air off one, and that was it for me, I spent the rest of the time photographing Drew. I have also posted a lot of other random ones.

Speaking of random my photos say Keri Miller on them because it looks prettier.

Oh and I almost forgot Zephy ate alot of sand. For more pics click here!!!

There is also a video of Drew on youtube.

Guys Weekend

Damian came to visit this weekend while Keri was out of town for Erin and Trevor's wedding in Price. Damian talked me into taking the Blaster out to the dunes. So we went to the ATV shop and got the regulatory sticker and flag for the sand and headed out. The Blaster (though a little under powered) can get around in the sand to some extent. We also found that if we let enough air out of the tires in the Toyota, that it can get around in the sand as well, as long as your not stupid watch where your going. Damian had a blast riding the 4 wheeler, until he flipped it up on its side (on flat sand) and broke the already brittle plastic fender.



I was planning on replacing the plastic fenders eventual, but now that I have had the 4 wheeler out on the sand and can see how much FUN it is, I am going to have to do it sooner. Now the $10 sticker (good for 2 years) is stuck on the plastic fender that needs to be replaced! Doh', at least it is only a $10 sticker.



Oh and there is a video of Damian riding the 4 wheeler on the beach,

Childhood Wisdom

Logan: Miranda, do you like Hanna Montana?

Miranda: No. Actually I don't like her.

Logan: I love her.

Miranda: That's because you are a child subjected to a constant barrage of sub-par marketing strategies and ploys.

Logan: (pause) Hmmm... that's why whenever I hang out with you my dad says I'm a dirty hippie.

Price!!

Well if you can't tell from the photo I am in price for a very quick trip for a wedding. Most of you have been to price but for everyone else I am posting photos of the place i grew up. It is very nice to be back in the heat; however, as nice as 67 and sunny is everyday 100 and sunny is even better. Of course typical price weatheris raining for five min. Just enough to cool every think down. I still don't miss it enough to ever move back!!









My parents have a very nice "Park" as they call it with a huge swing. They also live right by a very old cemetery. Miranda (my older and only sister) and I have spent alot of time with Logan as well as the grandparents.

Well Jess I know you will read this, I hope the photos will makes you miss price enough to come back for a visit ;) hahaha I know you will just look at the photos and say uggg.

Port Orford

I had to teach a CPR class this morning in Gold Beach. I didn't feel that it would be the best idea to make the two hour drive down by myself because i don't have a clue where i was really going. So I ummm how would I word this.... complained until Drew said he would come along for the ride. We Made a quick stop for the Puppys to play on the beach in Port Orford. They love the beach sooo much. And Just for the record I have Yet to see a rainy day. Click the link to view more. http://picasaweb.google.com/DrewBeeMiller/PortOrford

Fire across the Bay

Well I am not really sure it was a out of control fire or controlled fire any which way it lasted about an hour and left the air kind of foggy (nothing like CA which if you remind me I will post some of Barbs and Scotts photos from Redding they are kind of cool!) All the photos are taken through a dog slobbered window so sorry. Anyway not much new going on her the temp is still 67 just like it has been for a month. I have an interview for the Resident Care Coordinator for the BOB BELLONI RANCH for Girls today and a second interview at the hospital for an entry level Phlebotomist in the morning so both are very different as of right now I am kind of taking over the red cross while the director is out having knee surgery. I don't fell like looking up my HTML codes so if you want to see the photos you may have to copy and paste the link also if you look aroudn on the Picas site you will find the Crater Lake photos and a whole bunch of new waterfall photos. http://picasaweb.google.com/DrewBeeMiller/FireAcrossTheBay

July 3rd

Happy third of JULY!!! The Mill Casino puts on a firework show every 3rd of July. Drew and I drove down to the casino and then home to search of the best spot to watch. It was almost a disappointment but a feeling of contentment all at the same time when we discovered our driveway, was indeed the best spot!! After all we do have a million dollar view. (The house next to ours is for sell for one million dollars, so no we will not be buying that anytime soon!)

Fishing

My boss, Ralph, took us fishing this weekend. The silver salmon season is open but the water is a little cold and no one in the area has caught many. The water was a little rough, 5-7ft swell on 5 seconds. Keri and I had taken sea sickness pills the night before so we were fine. After trolling for salmon for a while we droped off a couple of crab pots and tried to catch some ling-cod, also with no success. While the crab pots were soaking we ran up the bay a little and saw some harbor seals sunning on a beach. We were able to get up close with the little trolling motor. Keri used the telephoto lense to get some good shots of the seals. When we picked up the crab pots there were a number of crabs in the pots however they were mostly females and only a couple of the males were large enough to keep. It was a good day out on the water. There are more pictures from the adventure on picasa.

Happy Puppies

They love the beach soo much!!! I think the photo says everything.

The Bounty

Another Tall Ship made its way into Coos Bay this week. The Bounty made for the 1964 movie The Bounty sailed by our house early on Wednesday morning. It was one of those moments where I ran to get my glasses to see if pirate ship really just passed our house, And it did. You can view more at picasa.

Old photos

We have been tring to sort ALL of our Photos New and Old!! This is mostly 2004-2005 I don't know why reed is attacking me all i know is Drew must have been there because we where on the back of his car!! The sad thing is I am finding more photos of Reed and I then Drew and I. I think it is because either Drew or I always has the camara. If i can get the scanner to work then I will post the best photo in the world i think!!
