My Handy MAN....

A little preface.... I have been wanting to get a glass door on our front door for a little while now. Devin and I have looked around at a few places to see what we liked, but just hadn't got it yet...well the other day Devin or should I say "Clark W. Griswold" surprised me with this strapped to his Grainger Mo-bil...

Need I say more about the Griswold part

Within about an hour he had the door mounted and functioning...hence the handy man title!!!

The finished product!

Thanks so much honey for being such a wonderful husband and always making life great and full of fun surprises!

2nd Best Job in the WORLD...

I've been wanting to do this post for about 3 months now and finally am getting the chance too. The 2nd best job in the world, (since now I have become a mom and that is the #1 best job in the world), was my job working as a Dental Assistant at Dr. Hendrickson's Office. I couldn't have asked for a better job or worked with better people. I had so much fun at this job, and never considered it work or a job, it was more like a hobby! I loved it so much! I am so thankful for the people I worked with and for the wonderful boss I worked for. Dr. Hedrickson is an amazing person and someone who is certified and definitely qualified in his job, his dentistry is AMAZING! I will be forever grateful for him and the many skills he taught me as I worked along side of him. I miss them all at the office, but have found a new joy, love, and hobby as I have started a new chapter in my life being a MOM. Thank you to all my friends at "The Office" I love you all!!!

The last day I worked they had these flowers sent to the office for me from all of them!!!

They also made this scrapbook of all the pictures we had taken each month as I was pregnant. They made a spot on the wall in the back room that had a sign "Miles Baby Bump" and each month they would post a picture of my progress as my baby bump got bigger and bigger!

And last they had this sign hanging up in the back room on my last day! They also had a little going away party/lunch for me! What amazing people I worked with, I can't say enough about them all! "The Office" will always hold a special place in my heart!

Update on BRAXON

Braxon is now 3.5 months old. He is the joy of our lives. He loves to talk and has been since he was barely 2 months. There is times I wish I knew what he was saying. He is very intense when he talks and is definitely trying to tell us something. He loves to slobber and blow bubbles. We go through about 5 bibs and sometimes a few outfits a day to keep him dry from all the spit! He also loves sucking on his hands and will sometimes sit and stare at them trying to figure out what their purpose is. He love his "Moo Moo" which is his little blue cow blankie. The other night we went in his room to see if he was asleep for the night, to find his "Moo Moo" covering his whole face. So I moved it off and went in a little later to check him again, to find his head buried in his "Moo Moo". He loves to have stuff on his face to go to sleep. He is a little snuggler! One of his favorite places to be still, and since the day he was born is the changing table. He loves to lay there and look around. His last Doctor visit was his 2 month appointment and he was 13 lbs. and 24.5 inches long...He is in the 90th percentile in height and weight and 50th on his head...we'll see here in a few weeks at his 4 month appt. what has changed!

His new found toy...the Jumper...He is really starting to like this!

Doing what he does best...SLOBBER and BUBBLES

His best friend..."Moo Moo"

Love My Boys...

The CUTEST BUMS you've ever seen

Like Father...Like Son

He sure loves his Daddy!

LAGOON...I mean...MILES BACKYARD!

We have had a lot of fun in the snow this year and the best part about it...we don't even have to leave our house!!!

The hill in our backyard is almost as good as a Lagoon Ride...

It is so steep at the beginning it gives you a big RUSH... (lets just say you better go to the bathroom before hand)

From the top of the hill we made it clear down between our house and the neighbors and to the front sidewalk!!!

Devin getting ready for "TAKE OFF".....

Finishing out the ride.....

Home Free!!!

(A definite case of "TRY THIS AT HOME")

It was a little cold still for Braxon to be out...he was such a good boy and slept while we had our fun with friends and family!!!

NeW YEaRs...

This year New Years was with my family....we had a lot of fun...(but missed Trent and Miss, they were in St George). We were glad Grandma and Grandpa Pierce joined us! We went to eat at Texas Road House and might I mention probably not the smartest thing to do on New Years Eve, especially if you are claustrophobic and/or don't want to have the chance of getting trampled by the crowds...but the food was YUMMY....ONCE we finally maneuvered through the crowds and got seated! Might I add we all made it out ALIVE. Then we went bowling...which was a lot more peaceful than Texas Road House. We basically had the place to ourselves!!! The night ended back at my sisters house where we spent the night having fun!!!

The Gals

The Guys

BOWLING FUN!!!!!

Enjoyin' Time Together

What a Bunch of BOWLERS!!!

After 2 games of bowling, Mom ended up with a new Breast Cancer Ball and bag....(I think this will be her new hobby)!!!

Family Pictures...

I've been meaning to post these...we got family pictures at the end of November. Devin's mom had set a time for the whole family to go and get pictures taken...we ended up doing some individual ones separately. They ended up turning out pretty good. I was glad we had a few snapped. Thanks Des for doing such a good job!
