She has so much family that loves her, and here we can introduce them all!

One of the most important things in life is family. Family gives you a strong foundation of love, support, encouragement, and a sense of belonging. For the most part, you cannot chose your family, you are born into it. We are lucky enough to have an amazing family, both through blood and through experience. Thank you to all of you who help to raise Kaitlyn and make her the amazing princess we all know and love. This page is dedicated to those that have given Kaitlyn their love and support without expecting anything in return. We are very lucky to have you in our lives.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof. ~Richard Bach

Kaitlyn and her mommy.

I have the great joy and pleasure to be Kaitlyn's mommy. I was born June 24 of 1982 and am the oldest of 4! I have 2 sisters and a brother who I love very much. I grew up in West Sacramento, CA and went to River City High School. While a Junior I met *him* the man of my dreams. Dusty took me to his Senior prom and we became inseparable. We were married on August 7, 2004. That was the happiest day of my life. On November 17, 2004 the most amazing thing happened, I became a mommy. Kaitlyn entered our lives as we expected but took charge of our hearts. She is an incredible little girl and I will always be grateful to be her mommy.

Daddy

Kaitlyn's Daddy is Dusty Miller, born November 27, 1980. He is the warehouse manager for the Correctional Peace Officer's Foundation and enjoys having Kaitlyn cheer him on at his softball games! He loves playing with Kaitlyn, their favorite game is hide and seek! Kaitlyn always looks forward to when her daddy gets home from work so she can be spoiled with neigh neigh rides and yummy treats that Daddy loves to share. She likes to call Daddy all through the day to give him kisses and say "wuv you!"

Little Brother Matthew

Kaitlyns little brother Matthew was born at 33 weeks on August 6, 2007. From day 1 of my pregnancy, Kaitlyn was a very loving, attentive and caring big Sister! When Matthew was born, she didnt want to leave his side and when Matthew finally came home, she was the happiest little girl in the entire world! Matthew, sadly, passed away on October 15. Even though he isnt here in person, he is here in spirit and Kaitlyn loves him so much. She talks about and to him every day and loves him so much!

Grandma

Kaitlyn's grandma is Rachel Lee of West Sacramento. She is the youngest of 4 children. She has 2 older sisters and an older brother. She is still very close to her mother, listed further below on the page, and had 4 children herself. She is a catastrophic coordinator for a great non-profit organization and loves being Kaitlyns grandma. Kaitlyn is her first grandchild.

Grandpa

Kaitlyns Grandpa is Bill Lee. He has been married to Grandma for nearly 25 years! Together they have 4 children. Bill is also the youngest of 4. He has 2 older brothers and an older sister. He is a local truck driver and his hobbies include fishing, restoring old cars and working in the back yard. Grandpa has been hard at work teaching Kaitlyn how to fish (she can cast out pretty good!) and how to garden, which she really enjoys.

Nana

Kaitlyn's Nana is Judy Miller. She is the youngest of 4 children from Sulligent Alabama. She has an older brother and 2 older sisters that she remains close to. She currently works for Sacramento City College and resides in Fair Oaks with her husband, Kaitlyns papa. She loves shopping and enjoys spending time with both of her granddaughters.

Papa

Kaitlyns papa is one of 8 children!! The grew up in Sunny California but he has lived in many places, including Arkansas and Alabama. He is a contractor and when not working loves to read old Western books or watch Westerns on TV. He enjoys playing with his two granddaughters.

Auntie Christy

Hi, My name is Christy....that is Auntie Christy to my princess Kaitlyn. I am the oldest of two, being six years senior to my brother Dusty. I was born in Mississippi and lived in Alabama until the age of 8 when we moved to California. After graduating in 1993 from JFK High in Sacramento I enlisted in the United States Marines, where I did a four year stint that including living in, and visiting such places as South Carolina, North Carolina, San Diego, Oceanside, 29 Palms, Australia, as well as a whole fun filled year in Okinawa Japan! When I completed my enlistment I met my wonderful husband Dennis and we were married five years later!
We immediately decided to start a family, however had some difficulties getting pregnant. When my sister-in-law Denise came to me and told me she was pregnant I was ecstatic! If I couldn't be a mommy right then being an Auntie was for sure the next best thing! We anxiously awaited the birth of our princess Kaitlyn! She was finally born on November 17th right smack on her Uncle Dennis's birthday! What a gift! It was the best thing my bratty little brother ever did for me! ( Love ya Dusty!) We found out right after Kaitlyn's first Christmas that she would be a big cousin! Yay! Finally I was prego! We pinpointed the day of Camaryn's conception to be the same day that Kaitlyn was born! That's why she is my little Angel! After years of trying to get pregnant, my little Angel Kailtyn was born and thought the first order of business was to make sure Auntie Christy had her a cousin to play with!
Nine months later Camaryn was born and the girls have been inseparable ever since! It is such a joy to watch their excitement when they see each other, and to watch all the new things that "big" cousin Kaitlyn teaches her baby cousin! Which recently has included the word uh-oh and how to jump (even though Camaryn has only been walking for a short while!) The two girls are the loves of my life!

Uncle Dennis

Hello All,
My name is Dennis Sanchez. I went to Amador High School, and then I attended Sacramento State University. I "graduated" Sacramento State University, and started my career in Yellow Pages. I worked at Valley Yellow Pages for six months, long enough to get a better Job at AT&T Yellow pages where I work currently. Enough with the work stuff.

I meet my wife Christy while I was going to Sac State. At that time I was managing a Vitamin Center in Arden Fair Mall, I know I did not mention it above, but it seemed more fun to bring it up later. I can remember the first call I made, when I asked Christy out. She answered the phone and I told her my name, she said,"Who?." I said again, the guy at the Vitamin Center. She said she would love to go out, and the rest is history. Well should I say the beginning of history.

Christy and I were married 5 years later, and live in Fair Oaks California. We have two dogs, Bailey, and R.D. These were our little boys until a little present came along.

Then their was our beautiful Daughter Camaryn. Life changed has changed forever.
I have a big family. I have many nieces and nephews also. Christy and I are especially closed to my sister-in-law and brother-in-laws daughter Kaitlyn. "Kaitlyn is a beautiful little girl. I love her very much. I consider myself her favorite Uncle, and my bond with has grown even greater with the birth of my Daughter. Camaryn and her get so excited when they see each other." Kaitlyn and I love to pay. She especially likes when you follow her around and find little rocks to throw. She loves to share, even though she requires all sharing be reciprocated. We have a very trusting relationship, I think she knows I will be their if she needs me and she trusts me, which I feel is very special.

One of the greatest things I inherited by marrying Joel is his amazing friends! Over the past four years I have slowly gotten to know Dusty and Denise more and more. We had the pleasure of attending their gorgeous wedding the day they officially became "one" and the birth of beautiful little Kaitlyn Reagan completed what is one of the happiest and most perfect little families I ever have seen. Denise is an even better Mom than anyone could have imagined and I have found that she is an equally great friend.
I am so happy that Kaitlyn entered the world and shed the light of her huge smile on all of us. I feel truly blessed to be allowed into the lives of the Miller family and simply can't wait to keep watching as Kaitlyn grows into the amazing human being we all know she will be. "
