A Birthday Bash to Remember!!

Look how cute Jace's Invite turned out!!! We were in Disneyland a couple of months ago and took this picture by Lightning McQueen...
Jace went to work with his dad 3 months ago down in Mesquite and saw this cute CARS cake at this Mexican Grocery Store... Well my Jace would not forget about it and come to find out the lady that worked there did not either... She would ask Ry every week when it was Jaces Birthday so we had to get the cake...
We were so excited to get Jace this Four Wheeler and just let me tell you he was on cloud 9 all night.. We are so lucky that our family is so supportive they are always here for us and we appreciate everything they do....

Jace Turns 4

Happy Birthday Jace

Today my Lit'l Man turns 4 years old.....

I thought that I would tell ya a little about my Jace.... He loves his brother Briggs, they are best buds..... He Idols his dad! I will give a hug and a kiss and say " I love you so much" he looks at me and says "I love my dad"(no doubt every time)....... He is so impatient he gets that from his dad of course....... His favorite thing to do is PLAY with his cousins and friends!....... He loves to watch movies... He is a TALKER and never stops...... Some of the funniest things he says are "Sunbrella","Hearphones","Lasterday", and so on.... He has become quite the swimmer, this year as he says "Watch I can swim side to side in the deep end"..... He started to call my mom WHIVIE and it just stuck.....He can back up his Power Wheels truck like he is a 60 year old man that has been doing it all his life.... He is always going.... His favorite drinks are Chocolate Milk and Sprite... He loves dogs but lost his within a week.... His eyebrows have always been so dark ... He hates it when I sing to him.... Every time he sneezes he blow buggers everywhere..... He is my precious boy and I am so thankful that he is in my life!!!!!!
Look how handsome!!
(He is going to be my Heartbreaker)

Koosherm Cabin

Let me just tell you this Weekend was one to remember......

We headed up to Ryan's Dads Cabin in Koosherm and the weather was overcast and rainy the whole entire time... But we found some things to keep up busy.... The boys ABSOLUTELY loved the horses! So we decided that Paul, Jace, Briggs and I would take a little horse ride up the mountain. Briggs rode with me and Jace with Paul. So we start up the trail and Paul takes me through 2 dang rivers with my little babe Briggs on board. We get through that and I am thinking "What the Hell am I doing!" We head up a little further and let me just tell you what we found... A FREAKING Rattle Snake!

Paul and Jace did not see it in the road, and I hear this RATTLING noise and there it is staring right at Me in the middle of the road...I almost died!

I am picturing in my mind, the horse going crazy and bucking me and Briggs off. Both of us falling to the ground and then we get eaten by the Big Scary Snake.

But No that's no what happened...

Cowboy Paul gets off the horse and like no big deal kills it with a stick of all things. I was so glad he was not scared because to tell you the truth I was a little nervous.

Stop Growing

I cant believe that my two boys are growing up so FAST!!!!

Today my Briggs turned 18 months old and I cant get over it.... It seems just like yesterday I was in the hospital on bed rest trying to keep him in my tummy. (glad that's over)

My Briggs is a Mama's Boy.... He also is a screamer, He understands everything that you say but communicates with a high pitched scream or (SCHREEAL).... Okay he says a few words Mama, Da Da, Jaaace, Whoof WHoof, Ball, Tickle Tickle Tickle, Pop-A Pop-A, He loves to make truck sounds BBBBBBBBBBB......... He has his four teeth on the bottom and only 3 teeth on the top and his left top is on its way in..... This past week all 4 molars started to peek through.... I am telling you his body is a major battle field... I swear every week it is something new, a bruise on his head from his brother hitting him in the head with a metal bat or a scraped knee from running into the wall.... Briggs still takes one nap a day and sleeps a good 2 hours every day... He loves to ride in Jaces Truck and gets mad when anyone else takes over his passenger seat...

Briggs loves to be outside... I change his clothes at least 2-3 times a day because he is constantly spilling, drooling, and making a mess.... I thinks that his most favorite thing to do is eat... (He never stops) and he is a great chocolate milk schooser he swished it back and forth back and forth.... He also loves to store all of his food in his cheeks... He might be part squirl......The other night I fed him a hot dog and like 30 minutes later Jace is crying because he spit it all over Jaces stomach in bed...(I had no idea he was still chewing on that dang dogger)

Briggs is a sweetheart that idolizes his big brother!! I have noticed lately that Jace is having a harder time doing the old Bate and Switch with Briggs... Jace use to just take any old toy from Briggs and give him something else..... Not anymore!

Game Time

This was my mans first professional Baseball Game and he was stoked for the big

GAME NIGHT!

(As you can see the kids not so much into it)

I seriously thought that I was going to kill Briggs.....The first 5 innings I spent walking around the Stadium. I know it didn't help that we had our kids jacked up on Cotton Candy and Soda Pop... It was about 1:00 in the morning when we finally got to the room and OOOH yes you guessed it my Briggs was awake the whole game.....

Ryan said "Never Again"

Disneyland 2010

This was our first official Disneyland Trip!!! And let me tell you "It was a lot of work!"

We headed down to Cali Thursday night and it took us about 6 hrs to get to the hotel. I was a little worried about the long drive for my Briggers but both of my boys were Angles on the way down.Ryan's brothers Michael and Chris showed up around 10 or 11 that night and Jace and Briggs could have not been more excited. Friday morning we were up and running we were at Disneyland by 10am. I think that the uncles were more excited then my two boys..... I was so mad because I had my camera the first hour and my battery went dead

(AHHHHHWWWWWW NEVER AGAIN!)

I was so upset I had Mikey and Chris taking pictures crazy with there phones. I think they could not have been more sick of me saying TAKE ANOTHER ONE!!! We left around 5 because we had baseball tickets to see the

ANGLES VS YANKEES

Needless to say I got to a Target to buy a new charger before round two at California Adventure.. Saturday we were dragging we got back from the game around 1:00 am. and my boys were tired!!!!! Saturday we were at California Adventure and Jace was only 1"to short for all the big boy rides Dang it i knew I should have bought him some high heels...LOL

We were out of there at 7 and let me tell you I was spent.

What a great Weekend!

Sport'n Spring

Let me just tell you we have had an ACTIVE weekend!!!

It is so nice when a warm spring weekend hits... We can just load up the boys and take off for a fun dayin the sun. On Saturday we loaded up the Mountain Bikes and went to explore some fun trails in the St. George area... I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful town. Sunday we drove up to Zion and hiked the Emerald Pools. Ryans sister Shenelle and he new lover Matt joined us. After the hike we headed over to Oscar's for lunch.

What a great day!!!

Whivies Pool

What a great day for SWIMMING!!!!

There is nothing better then a beautiful day at Gram Whivies Pool.....Lots of cousins playing in the pool entertaining my boys and" MAMA BRANDY" having her first official Sun Tanning Day. It's all about the visiting and laugh'n with my Grandma Connie, Whivie, Amy, Jody, and Mindy

(Life Couldn't get any better)

Rafe, Shay, Meg, Jace, Kally,Riley and Briggs

Happy Birthday WHIVIE!!!

Its that time of year again......

Viv-A-Lish-Ous is turning 62 Years Old!!!WOW Look at that cake!!!!

Was she not the cutest little girl ever....

"Spring Fever"

I am so sick of the rain I could PUKE!!!

All I want to be doing is what this Beautiful Sunbathing Goddess is doing......Sit'n back and enjoying the sun! One of my most favorite things to do in the whole world is lay out by the pool and get a good suntan... You can defiantly say that I have the spring fever going on.... One day it sunny and the next day its raining, the next day its raining and then its sunny and windy... I wish the weather would just make up its mind!

LIT'L DEBBIES HERE I COME!

Watch out Lit'l Debbie's here I come!!!!
Okay so it is official..... I am the new Little Debbie Girl!

My man Ryan is an Independent Distributor and last year he purchased the rights to distribute Little Debbie Snacks. Ry has been so busy peddling his other stuff that we hired his sister Shenelle to help us out. Now that Briggs is a little bigger we have decided that it would be a good thing for me to help out a little bit. So today was my first day of my BIG NEW JOB.... Holy Murder I was so nervous that I was going to sleep in that I could not stop watching the clock. I finally couldn't take it anymore so I got up at 5 am and did some laundry and poked around til 6:45. I woke my boys up and took them to the tender and I was OFF!

So I get to the first store and I have Eagles Flapp'n (I don't know why- I am a freak) Shenelle is telling me what and how to do stuff and this receiver walks up to me and scans the first item and says "Invoice Number" and I yell back "OATMEAL CREME PIE" everyone just starts laughing and joking about how funny it was... And no Crap 2 minutes later I do the same thing....

Anyhoo It was actually kinda fun and I think that I will enjoy getting out of the house for about 9 hours a week.

Cedar Highlands

What a fun time we had at Cedar Highlands!

We had been sledding behind the Rhino all week. Sunday morning the Bolerjacks decided that they had to head home. Jace wanted to blaze the trail one more time before we headed south. So we loaded up on more time and you guessed it . We got the Rhino so stuck we had to leave it there over night.. We headed home and had to turn around the next day after Ryan got off work to get it out.. Uncle Chris sent the posse of Snow mobilers to pull us out!

Thank goodness for UNCLES!

Ear Update

Well we just had the 2 week check up on Briggs ears and YEP we have ANOTHER Ear Infection!!!

Holy Murder!

So I asked the Doc....." How in the world can we have another ear infection when we just had tubes put in? And his reply was "well, we dont see this very often... But here is another antibiotic and we will see you on the 18th of Feb. for another check up."

I am telling you my Briggs is high maintenance(I think he gets it from his dad)

Surgery

All I can say is that I am so sick of EAR INFECTIONS!!!!!

So last week we went back to Dr. Marsden because I knew that Briggs was sick AGAIN…. He gave us another antibiotic and then he referred us to Dr. Vaughn the Ear Nose and Throat Specialist. The next day Dr. Vaughn looked at my little Briggs ears and said “This is BAD, Lets get him in for surgery ASAP!”So 3 days later my little Briggs was scheduled to have his FIRST SURGERY!!He was so brave, and did such a great job.. I couldn’t believe how quick it was, it was like a in and out thing. I think the paperwork took longer than the surgery..Hopefully this is going to be a wonderful thing!!

Bring'n in the NEW YEAR!!!!

I am always amazed how fast time flies.

and before you know it... It's a NEW YEAR!!!
