....Everything......

Well...better late than never I guess. We just got busy having fun during the holidays that I never got around to blogging anything then after the holidays I just haven't felt like it yet seems I would rather get my house back together, clean, relax and just play with Briggs.

SLEDDING:
We went up to a friends cabin a few weekends ago to go sledding and just hang out. We had fun and discovered it's best to let the sledding trail be blazed several times before taking Briggs down. He got plastered in the face, and was very upset. I wish we would have had some pictures of it, rude I know. So the sledding didn't last very long but it was still fun.

BOWLING!!!Briggs liked hanging out with his cousins and pushing the ball. It's so hard to keep him happy and content though during everyone elses turn without him wanting to be right in the middle of the lane or running down it. We finally got him some runts to keep him occupied.Trent & Briggs Grandma L. holding Briggs holding Gage

Briggs has a new love of babies. He loves to hold them and kiss their cheeks and some times lips but he's learned only on the cheeks. Gage got uncomfortable with the way Briggs was holding him and when we took him away Briggs cried and cried. Later in the day he wanted to hold one of the other babies in the family and put on the biggest puppy dog face to hold her.

He thinks he's such a big boy.
EATING OUT: way to much We ate out at Friedricko's one day with my fam and Briggs insisted on the need for two drinks. Of course he got his way and held them both so nobody would take them.

What a Kid!

CHRISTMAS:

Our Christmas was nothing but perfect. We had a lot of fun with Briggs this year and he thought he was in heaven. He got totally spoiled and we now can't even enter his room most days without having to wade through it all.

Christmas with the Lovelands. Briggs loves his Sit and Spin, he's starting to figure it out better. It has more uses than you know though, one being a stool. Going through his stocking with dad and finding all of his favorites.We came across this santa hat one day while shopping and he had to put it on and then had to take it home, he loved it. Christmas with the Hunsaker's. He of course got a pop gun from Grandpa and a drum set from Rachael.He LOVE LOVE LOVE's playing the drums. Just give him a 1,2,1,2,3,4 and he's jamming away.
SO COOL! Thanks Aunt Rachael!

We played and played and playedAnd then felt like this.

(Christmas eve he got so exhausted he climbed up on Kyle's lap and was out. So not Briggs to fall asleep anywhere but his crib and carseat. He was so exhausted.)

We don't have much to update about we've just been getting ready for Christmas. We love this time of year, nice break from school and more time with those we love. It's been fun watching Briggs experience things for the first time, well at least the first time he cares. He loves standing by the trees and looking at everything on them. He has suprisingly been really good about not touching. He also loves all the lights everywhere, in his words "WOW WOW"! Of course he loves all the goodies. I do think maybe he's going to think it's a bad thing to open presents though. I put out a few presents on Sunday and of course when we weren't looking he tried opening one. Trent heard him and went in and kinda scared him, patted his hand, and told him no. He cried, he really cried. We've only seen this a few times, he was so sad, tears and all. He doesn't even go near them anymore and wouldn't even help Grandma open her present. So I guess we'll see on Christmas. I'm sure he'll start and want to do everbodies. He also likes the snow and helping Trent shovel until his hands get to cold. I need to go find him some heavy gloves. Other than just enjoying this time of year we haven't done much of anything worth blogging about. We did get some much needed pictures taken, we haven't had any for a very long time it seems. They turned out great even though Briggs was the biggest stinker that day. Isn't that how it always works though. Shaun(Trent's Brother-in-law) did such a good job with such a naughty boy and the girls helped so much trying to get Briggs to look and be happy. THANKS we LOVE them(pictures) and you!

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas

with those you love!

HaIrCuT

We finally cut the mop on Briggs' head. It was sad to see it all go but it was so out of control. Briggs loved having it cut! He sat so good the entire time Trent did it. When we showed him the first little bit we cut he just smiled and ran his fingers through his hair. He thought it was pretty neat.

Halloween

(shirt is kinda bunched up but cute!)
How cute is that little pirate?! Briggs loved wearing his cosutme his year, except for the hat and the bandana was questionable at times. We didn't do a whole lot of trick or treating, stoped by the ward Trunk or Treat then to the grandparents and great grandparents. He wasn't really sure of the trick or treating thing, he really just liked running around with the other kids and showing off. We didn't get a really great picture of him, he just won't hold still long enough. Briggs can't get enough of sugar cookies, look licking the plate clean! The next morning I found him on top of the table chowing down on 3 all at once, before I could find him I'm sure. He's too Smart!


Just thought I would leave of picture of Briggs. He always pulls this face "Cheesy Grin", he has it down. He has also found a new love, Doritos. He is the pickest eater ever and pretty much only eats bread, bananas, corndogs, grapes, peas, and pb&j so I was shocked when he actually even tried them let alone like them.
