So....

We're still alive and doing well, I just haven't had any urge to update my blog for......well awhile. We've been staying pretty busy but still finding time to relax and enjoy life. We have tons of pictures from the last while but since I haven't even uploaded pictures since last time I posted I seem to have misplaced my adapter so maybe later. We've got some good ones.... trip to Boise, parades, fair, Briggs shooting his first BB gun, Tony's Grove, anniversary, canning with Briggs (big helper), pumpkin patch, Halloween, playing in the snow, adorable pictures of Briggs, everyday life and occurrences and the lovely collection of pictures of Tantrums by Briggs(is it rude that I take pictures of him trowing fits and crying? Guess I'm just documenting it for everyone who thinks he's the happiest kid in the world! ha). Maybe I'll get picture up but maybe not at least now you know what we've been up to.
Briggs is still our sweet boy but definitely has let out his terrible 2 side lately. It can be pretty trying some days but he always makes up for it by running over saying sorry and giving a big hug and kiss. Before he does something else naughty that is, somehow saying sorry for the one previous means he can do something different and it makes it okay. Right now he's loving Christmas lights, trees, candy, his ornaments (luckily on his own little tree and doesn't touch mommies), snow, wanting to open presents, and everything else the season has to bring.
So he figured out where his presents are hiding (unwrapped of course) and I catch him numerous times a day trying to get the door open, I need to get them wrapped and moved I think, he's very determined. We're very excited this year for Christmas, he got into it last year but didn't really understand but this year seems to be different. He loves his Christmas movies grandma brought over(which is where he picked up on the present thing I believe) and tells us all about Christmas so it should be lots of fun. He's also loving nativities, he plays with every ones even when he shouldn't, we've been trying to teach him who everyone is and he loves naming them all. Oh and he's talking up a storm now telling all sorts of stories not that he wasn't months ago it's just the way he connects all he thoughts and words I guess. He's growing up fast.
Other than all that Trent and I are just busy doing the normal everyday stuff nothing to exciting and not much has changed besides.....we're EXPECTING(for those who don't know already).
The due date seems to be ever changing with this one, one week we're measuring quite small like two weeks and the next right on track if not a little big. So we're going for June 8th, one day after Briggs' 3rd Birthday. We're so excited! I was very sick for a while but the doc finally got me switched to some great medicine and I'm doing much better besides nothing looking appetizing. Briggs doesn't understand fully yet I don't think but he does like coming up and giving the baby kisses and telling him it's he's "big brother Briggs" so maybe he does........ He has such a love for babies it's crazy! I know there are other toddler's out there that love babies but this little boy is nuts! He's going to be such a fun big brother.
