Fillmore Lake Time

What a Fun Day!!!

Pop Paul & Jeri were down in St. George tending the Newby Kids while Jeff & Heather were out of town.. So we called everyone up and set up a little Sand Hollow Lake Trip. Everyone had a Ball expecially Pop Paul we could not get him off the tube...

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!
