Bridger's Blessing

We finally had the chance to bless Bridger. With leaving for the summer we decided to wait until we got back so alot of our family and friends could be there with us on this special day. We blessed him on November 2, 08 and it was the most wonderful day. We missed you guys that couldn't be there with us and here are a couple of pictures to show ya how cute Bridger looked in his little tux.

This is Bridger's cute little blessing outfit. I actually just took him in today to get pictures done of him in it. A big thanks to all of my sisters for buying this tux for Bridger it made this day just more special. Thanks so much, Love all you guys...

Eric, Since your gone again I got a video of how cute he has been today!!! Hopefully it works!!! See you on wednesday...

Pictures of Bridger

We finally got a picture of bridger to upload to the blog. There are a ton more that I would love to show you all but this will have to do. The best part about this picture is Bridger put his hands this way by himself. He is a little poser. We are excited because tomorrow we are going to bless Bridger. It will be a fun day with family and friends. Last weekend Heidi and I entered a tennis tournament and had a really good time. We only played two other couples but we won both of them. We were excited because Heidi's boss was in charge of the tournament so she got paid for playing in it and we won first place so we won 20 dollars to sizzler and 20 dollars to costa vida. I think it was a very good investment and we had a lot of fun.

Sorry about no pictures of Bridger

I have been pretty frustrated tonight because for some reason I can't load any pictures into my post. I have been trying for about an hour and everytime I pick the pictures and hit the upload it keeps saying cannot display the web page. So I am sorry but I will try tomorrow to put some pictures up because Bridger is a cute kid.

Back in Logan!

Wow sorry it has been so long since we have posted anything on here I am sure everyone is getting sick of the same thing on our blog. Well we are now back up in logan and it feels so good to be home. It has been really fun for us to go to new places each summer and work but it always is so nice to be back home here in Utah. I hope when I get a real Job it allows us to stay here close to friends and family. Heidi is back in school now with just a few more semesters to go and I am really proud of her. I think I would have given up but she is really dedicated to finish and I am trying to be supportive for her. I got kind of bored up here since I graduated last semester and I found that there really aren't any good jobs up here in logan that pay very so I am working for comcast now as customer support agent which is nice because I will be able to work from home so I can help watch Bridger while Heidi has her classes. The last week has been hard because I am in training right now and can't watch Bridger so we have had one of our neighbors watch him which has been really hard on Heidi. Things are going well though and we are enjoying life. Bridger gets more cute everyday and is so funny to watch. We went fishing last weekend up in Wyoming with my parents and we had a good time. I was excited because I caught a bigger fish than my dad which made it a good trip.

Bridger is so cute!!!

I AM NOT TO GOOD AT THIS SO BE PATIENT WITH ME.

Since Eric is out in Pittsburg for a while he asked me to post some pictures for him to see Bridger. Everytime I talk to you, you say how much you miss Bridger do you even miss me? So from your comment on the phone I posted just pictures of Bridger (well most of them). So, this is Bridger laying in his bed on the night you went to the Baseball game. (notice his pajamas eric) We wish we could have went with you!!! By the way I did alittle changing to the furniture in his room and the living room...don't be mad...By the way....I WON...you will know what that means when I take pictures of the house or you come home...


We got a bunch of toys from my sister and this one is a catepiller I think with measurements on the back. So it went up to 24 inches so he is taller then that at least. Not sure how tall he is.











Bridger is still kindof scared of this toy for some reason. This is the one that is shown above. But, he loves the books and the saucer my sister gave to us. We stayed at her house a couple nights ago and he only had two toys. So being my sister she went up to her little boys room that is five months older then Bridger and got two bag full of toys cause she felt so bad for Bridger not having very many toys.

Eric, remember this face? He is pulling it so much more then he used to. I don't know if it is cause he gets such a good response out of everyone when he does it or if it is because he misses his daddy (as Miriam said). This is Sean Smith holding him and getting him to pull it and then laughing at him (or with him as he says). But, I am finally getting him into a schedule again. This poor little guy has had some hard weeks. All the traveling we have done. He wasn't sleeping very well or napping at all. But, last two days he has been doing well during the day, we still have some progress to make for the night, any suggestions would be great!

Phil Vasser concert and FIREWORKS!!!

I had a pretty cool night last night. We went to the pittsburgh pirates baseball game which wasn't very good because they lost 7-4 but after was amazing. Phil Vasser who is a country singer for those that don't know, came and put on a concert on the field as well as a fireworks show. He was so entertaining but the fireworks actually stole the show. It was better than every 4th of july I have ever seen put together. He would sing a song and then they would do a five minute fireworks show between every song. It wasn't just a few fireworks either it was a grand finale everytime. The skyline of pittsburgh was right behind the fireworks so they were reflecting off the building and they even had fireworks shooting off the roof of one of the office buildings. I know my explanation isn't doing it justice i just wish you all could have seen it because it was the most amazing show I have ever seen. I am kind of sad though because now I am going to compare every fireworks show I see for the rest of my life to the show they had in pittsburgh. I was sad I couldn't share it with Heidi but It was fun telling her about my night over the phone.

Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

Well I made it out here to pittsburgh on thursday and it has gone great. The weather here is beautiful and the area has been great so far. We actually have been selling in ohio in this ghetto little town called youngstown that has a ton of crime in it. I had to leave Heidi and Bridger back in utah which isn't very fun but i am trying to make the best of it and work hard while I am out here. I will have Heidi put some pictures up of Bridger and update on what she has been up to.

Memories

I saw a bunch of other people had on their blog to leave a comment of a memory that we had together. And most of you that know me know that I love to bring up old stories and laugh about them over and over again so I thought that would be fun. I don't have the official one like everyone else but I think it will get the same point across.

We are coming home!!!

Yes the title is correct we are coming home at the end of the month. The office down here is going to be closing at the end of july. I wish I could say that I was actually done selling for the summer but I will be flying to a different office to finish out the rest of the summer. Heidi is getting excited because we get to go back home but we have people renting out our trailer so she will be homeless for a few weeks. I am sure she will have fun hopping around visiting everybody. well that is the update for the week.

New update

Our team won an incentive against another office so we got to go to a diamond backs baseball game. we had a great time but the game didn't last long enough because we had to go out and work after the game. Our whole team was cheering for the other team so that it would go into extra innings but the diamond backs won in 81/2 innings. It was a very nice break though.
Don't worry about bridger sitting in a purple bumbo he is just borrowing it from one of his friends. Not that there is anything wrong with a guy liking the color purple. He was loving this chair and just looks so relaxed. He is so much fun now and is starting a get his own little personality.

We got the chance to go to St. George for a couple of days to see my family and we also got to meet up with some friends from Logan. This picture is from the Grand Canyon, we stopped here on our trip back to phoenix .

This was the first time we went swimming. Mom and Dad Miller were down visiting us and we decided to see if Bridger liked swimming.He wasn't the biggest fan of the floating but he loved being held in the water by Grandpa. They chose a great week to come down and visit. Not only was Eric missing his mom, but Bridger picked up his first toy. This is such a great picture showing how Grandpa Miller is with Bridger. Bridger loved being with his grandparents cause they never set him down, they played with him all the time.



This was Bridger's, first time going to the Zoo. He lasted about ten minutes watching the kids we went with. As soon as I put him in his stroller to see the animals he was asleep and slept the rest of the zoo trip.

This is Bridger's sad face. As soon as we stop talking to him he pulls this face and we either start talking and he smiles or he starts to cry. He just loves attention and is starting to giggle a bit.

Surviving the Heat!

It seems like everytime I get a chance to write on the blog I look at the date of the last time I wrote anything and it has been at least a month. I can't believe how fast time flies. I am already half way through the summer and I am still alive although there were a few days out working that I didn't know If I was going to make it. For 12 days straight it was over 110 degrees with the hottest day topping out at 118 degrees which was obviously a saturday when I am out selling from 10 in the morning until 9 at night. Every day we would watch the news and there would be extreme heat warnings and they would tell us to stay inside, but me being the smart person was outside knocking doors all day long. I would ask for a drink of water almost every other door and I made it through it. The selling is going a lot better now and I am consistently selling at least one a day. Heidi is still enjoying her job as the office manager and isn't as busy as she thought she would be because we only have about 15 sales reps left in the office. Bridger is doing great and growing fast. He is finally starting to play with toys and absolutely loves attention from anyone at anytime. We are having a hard time getting him on a sleeping schedule but hopefully that will get better. Sorry this is short but Heidi is kicking me off so she can get her job done.

New Background!

Due to recent complaints about the black background of my blog and my concern for the safety of individuals eyes I have decided to changed the background. I hope this is better for you? I also had a complaint about not enough details of what has been going on. So I will try and be better about details. It has been an interesting few weeks so far down here. Our apartments are really nice. There are swimming pools and waterfalls and palm trees everywhere. We have a sand volleyball pit that we use all the time and barbeques set up with pavillions all around. So as you can see we are having some fun down here. The work is a different story, I am trying to learn how to sell this new product and it is taking me longer to learn it than I thought it would. I have sold a couple but it is definately different than selling dish. It is getting better though. Heidi is enjoying her job as well. It has been great for her because she can watch bridger and do her job at the same time. She does the paperwork in the mornings and then she just keeps her phone with her and does the scheduling of the jobs when they come in. I have to go out and sell now so I will keep this short. Sorry for no pictures right now I can't put them on this computer but I will get some up shortly. Bridger is doing great and growing like a weed. We miss you all.

Pheonix Arizona!

Sorry it has been almost a month since I have updated the Blog. A lot has happened over the last month that I should have been writing down but I will do my best to catch everyone up on our lives. I think the most important news that I have is that I finally graduated from college from Utah State University. I was really worried about a grade in one class that I took, but I ended up getting what I needed to pass and that is good enough for me. So, this is Heidi now taking over for Eric, he got the baby duty. But the deal was for me to finish this if he did that. So, i know eric is more fun but just deal with it and read the update. Anyway, school is over for eric now (which is sad, we played pretty good during the school year and worked hard during the summer. Now it is just going to be work, work, work!) I still have about three semester left, so i will be hitting it hard in the fall. For the summer we are doing summer sells (AGAIN) out in Tempe, Arizona. We came out the first of the week and are starting to get into the groove of things. Eric is doing really well at learning this new product (but if you know of anyone that needs a security system let us know). I am doing the office work again for the office. However, it does have a new spin on things when we are expecting 40 sells reps and 10 techs, they should keep me pretty busy. Bridger, however, did not like Tempe for the first couple days. He had a really hard time adjusting, he wouldn't sleep unless we were holding him and he was so tired all the time that when we went to feed him he would fall asleep. But, now he is doing better, loving the long walks, and the wonderful sun that we actually see, unlike in logan. So that is the long update on us, hopefully you made it through all of it.

2 week checkup!

We made it past two weeks as parents and we are all doing surprisingly well. Bridger has now past his birth weight and is at 8 lb 10 oz. He is also 21 inches long which the doctor said was in the 95 percentile which is a very big surprise seeing that his parents are 5'6" and 5'7"(I am an inch taller no matter what Heidi says) We are adjusting well to being parents and he is doing great sleeping. We feed him at around 12:30 he wakes up at about 5:00 and then he sleeps till almost 10:00. This development makes us very happy and a lot more rested. Here are a few more pictures of our cute little boy we love.

Bridger Eric Miller is Finally in the world

We had Bridger on March 20th at 11:13 A.M. after 15 hours of being in the hospital(it was a long night) but we made it through it and we have a beautiful little boy. I guess I can't say little boy though because he was 8 lb 7oz. We had a rough couple of days at first when we brought him home because he had Jaundice and we had to keep him on this ultra violet bed and the only time we could pick him up was to feed him and change him. He didn't like that very much and neither did we. But we went to the doctor's today and he told us we could take him off the bed and he hasn't been put down all day today. Now we finally get to enjoy the cute little cuddly guy. I wanted to get some pictures posted earlier but it has been a busy few days and I haven't had too much time to sit at the computer so now here they are.

No Baby yet!

There have been a few people asking if we have had our baby yet and although Heidi wishes that she did, nothing yet. She is due on the 21st and the doctor thinks that she might even have the baby after that. We have the bags packed and are just waiting for the little guy to decide he wants to come see us. We took a tour of the hospital on saturday just so we know where we need to go and what we need to do when the baby actually comes and while we were there we saw our neighbor who was due one day after Heidi and she had already had her little boy so Heidi was pretty jealous. We will let everyone know when he is born and post some pictures for everyone.

Twister!

Do you guys remember the game twister? What a classic game! So Heidi and I were babysitting our neices this weekend and we had a few friends over to play some games. I told kyla she could pick one game and play with us and then she needed to go to bed so she decided she wanted to play twister and have all of us play as well. I forgot how truly funny and tiring that game can be. We played for over an hour and had a really good time. I think we let kyla stay up to late to play this game though because after this we laid her down and she said her neck hurt which meant her throat hurt and she had a fever of 101.7 Heidi and I having no idea what to do called our sister and her mom to figure out what to do. We were able to get the fever down but it was a long night. We are sure in for a treat in a few weeks. Hopefully we will learn how to do this parenting thing. We also took the kids Ice skating while they were up here and they loved it. They have these little walker things for the kids to give them balance and they are a life saver because I was the only one that skated with both the kids I don't know if I could have skated with both of them hanging on me. We had a good time though.

Here is another picture of the bed

Here is another view from above

It has been a while!

Sorry it has been a while since we posted something I am sure you have gotten sick of seeing the same thing everytime you checked up on us I just feel like sometimes it would be boring to write the stuff that goes on in our everyday life of school, work for heidi, and waiting for the baby to come. But I will try to be better for those of you that have complained I don't update enough. I did finally find a crib set that we liked and ordered it online from target which we got about a week ago and we were so excited to get it set up. Once we got it set up though we realized we didn't have any other decorations so I went and bought the giraffe to give it a little something extra. Heidi just had another baby shower with some of her friends up here in logan last saturday that went really well and we got a lot of great things. We are almost done getting everything we hopefully will need for the baby which is a good thing because he is coming in 3 1/2 weeks. We still haven't decided on a name yet but we do have a few more we are considering. For some reason we are liking names starting with B because the other names we like are braysen and bridger. We still don't know for sure because we hate making decisions and he is going to be stuck with this name for a long time so it's a big decision. Anyway we are doing good and enjoying life even though Heidi is very uncomfortable.

Baby Room Furniture

Well we got all the furniture ready for the baby's room now we just need a matress and we need to find a bedding set that we like. This was quite a challenge to find room to put all of this furniture into a very small room but I am proud to say we did it and it does'nt look to bad if I say so myself. As you can see I got a little corner of a wall for our computer and the baby got all the rest of the room. Oh he is going to be so spoiled I can't wait.

what do you think of this name?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions on a name for our boy even though some of them were very interesting! We heard one the other day that we kind of liked and I just wanted to see if anyone else liked it. What do you think about Brecken? We still haven't decided for sure but we both actually kind of liked it which is a great thing because we haven't really agreed on to many other names we have heard. It's been kind of a rough week for both of us because we have been sick. The cold and flu bug has been going crazy up here in logan. Heidi has been miserable because she can't take anything but I am doing ok because I have the wonderful Nyquil. We are getting over it though and are excited to start another week.

We Need a name for our little boy!!!

Heidi and I are having a really hard time trying to decide on a name for our boy so if any of you have any suggestions we are more than willing to hear them. And no Ryan we are not naming him after you no matter how much you would like us too!

Here is a better picture of the little guy. I was going to post one of the 3-d images that they gave us but they were kind of scary looking and I could never tell exactly what I was looking at.

I thought I would post a picture of our son. We found out he was a little boy back in november and this is the picture that let us know. If you are having a hard time deciding which one it is, it is the thing that is glowing. He is very proud and not to shy to strut his stuff.

Baby Shower

Heidi just had her first baby shower for our little boy on saturday. We had a great time and got tons of cute little clothes and blankets for him. She came home that night and went straight to work rearranging our office into a place suitable for our son. Which means she boxed up a lot of our stuff and put it out in the shed. I even had to fight to keep the computer and the desk in the office which turned out that i got to keep the computer in the room but I ended up taking down half the desk to make room for her to put the crib where she wanted it. We sure are good at comprimising! For those of you that don't know we bought a trailer in the student trailer ct on campus so we don't have very much room. That is why the office is being turned into the baby's room because frankly there are no other options. It turned out looking good though and seeing the crib up and the little clothes on the shelf is really getting me excited to have the baby. I know it will be hard and a huge adjustment for us but that is what life is all about.

Our first Blog

Well we were getting a lot of pressure to create our own blog. So I guess we will see what this whole thing is about.
