HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Last Friday was my birthday and I have to start by saying what a sweet husband I have. Two days of shopping, eating, and just getting to spend time with him without work or school(he did have tons of homework but he just let it wait until Sunday) was the best gift ever! He's not a big fan of shopping and shopping with me, well that's a whole different story. So shopping and then the best part eating. We don't eat out a whole lot because we figure it makes the times we do that much better. So the shopping and eating were great but the best part of the whole weekend was spending time together without school or housework. Time together seems to be a precious thing around our house. We're home together alot but I doesn't mean that we're actually together. Make sense? THANKS BABE, Briggs and I enjoyed every minute with you.

Briggs has always liked testing out his voice but lately it has gotten a little ridiculous. Anywhere we go and the minute we get inside the yelling begins. It's just this constant aaaaaaah, aaaaaaaah, ah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! So if you ever hear a little boy yelling non-stop when you're at Kents, Walmart, Sams or Old Grist Mill(they seem to be his favorites,they give him better sound) it's probably us.

The new favorite food is.....lemon slices. No I don't cut up lemons and feed them to him for lunch. We gave him the lemon that they put on the rim of your drink thinking that we would get a funny reaction. Well we were wrong he loved it, but still funny!

And just starting today, he loves crawling up and down the treadmill. It's the first day I think we've left it down long enough for him to play on it. He will crawl up and then back down, then his favorite part is when he gets off at the bottom and totally face plants it. He will laugh and smile then start it all over again. He's doing it as we speak, he's done it for probably 4 hours total today. He is all boy for sure! Following dad, playing in the dirt, getting the dog to lick his face, getting up and into everything, falling down and crashing thinking it's funny, laughing when anybody burps, and the list could go on of all his boyish qualities. We sure love him! Counting down the days till he's one (month and a halfish). WoW!

Here we go!On his way upClimbing down

And face plant!

***SPRING FEVER***

Oh how sweet it is.....having nice sunny weather. We have absolutley loved the past few days, shorts, hanging out in the yard, barbequing, 4-wheeling, and the list could go on. It's nice going outside with Briggs and not worry about the grass being wet or if he's getting cold. He could be outside all day and hates being stuck inside.

Briggs and I went to Baby Animal Days over in Logan with Michelle and Ethan.It was nice for all of us to get out into the nice sunny weather. Briggs loved to pull and pet every animals ears. He seemed to really like the baby goats and the ducks, the duck did try to nibble at him though when we started to squeeze at it's beak. The only animal that he just wasn't interested in at all were the pigs, they weren't soft enough for him. The favorite of the day for the boys were the chickens that were in a cage that they couldn't even touch, go figure. I think they could have sat in their little strollers and watched them all day. Loving the goat

Grabbing the cows ear

He loved being outside with all the animals, he has always liked looking out the window watching for some kind of animal to go by. We've taught him cat and dog so far since we see those alot. He was in heaven with all those animals. Pony Ride!!Concentraing so hard not to fall off. The girl that was leading him around was going kinda fast, she didn't seem to care that there was a 10 month old on. Check out the sweet helmet, it was way to big.

Other than that we've just been hanging out around the house getting lots of stuff done and doing tons of homework. If we get everything we want to around the house at the rate we're going it's going to take us well into our 90's to finish everything. Trent works so hard all day comes home does homework and is just spent. We have got alot done though lately but just lots more. It so much fun! The end of the semester always seems to come around all to often. Trent has an ad campaign, 12 page term paper, about 30 pages of book report, and like 3 tests. Good thing he has an awesome wife, to get him through it all! ;)

Briggs is growing up so fast, he's not really liking baby food at all anymore. He only wants real food and only when me and Trent eat. He's turning into quite the little man. He knows what he shouldn't be doing and loves doing it. It makes him giggle, which is how you know you need to get him/find him. He loves crawling away from us, he laughs and laughs as he crawls as fast as he can down the hall. He just the normal 10 month old into everything and enjoying life but oh so much cutier. He getting more talented by the day, he even hits the baseball off the tee. I can't believe just less than 2 months till our little guy is 1.

He loves going for walks and looking around, especially when we make a stop at the park

Sunday dinner at the Hunsaker's. Briggs has started this new thing where he sticks every little piece of food on the table in his mouth, and it does not matter if it doesn't all fit. Do you think he's starving? If you've seen his thighs you would know he gets fed enough, I guess he just likes his food. I'm afraid he's going to choke one of these days. We should just give him a little at a time but if we don't keep the food in front of him he gets upset, he's a big boy remember. He's growing up and understanding way to fast.

Riding the 4-wheeler, not as fun as the pony

Briggs is such a daddy's boy
