~EASTER 2008~

We had such a fun Easter! I love holidays and having a little one makes them much more fun. On Saturday we dyed eggs when Trent got home from work.

What a goof, and having so much fun!

Some of our eggs(Trent decorated these ones-beautiful!)

Briggs liked licking the eggs~everything taste so yummy

We peeled the egg after he bit into the shell and let him try it.....

"I don't know guys."


Yucky! He spit it out and was so upset.


On Easter morning we decided to make a little easter egg trail for Briggs to follow to his basket. Trent wasn't so sure it would work but, mom knows best and it did. He loved it he would pick one up, hold it up and show mom, turn around and put it in a basket dad was holding for him, and go for the next.

The jackpot at the end: lots more eggs(which was most of the highlight for Briggs) and a basketful of goodies.

The Basket


Check out my sweet shades! The Easter Bunny was smart and got two pair, bound to break one soon.

Some pictures in my new church clothes.

Check out this rock I found

I'm Out!

After we played around a bit we went to the Grandma Julie's and Grandpa Clint's for Breakfast. It was so yummy, thanks Grandma.

For lunch/dinner we went to Great- Grandpa & Grandma Belew's, also very good.

...Crawling...

So..It's been awhile we've been so excited it's warming up, Briggs and I go on walks alot and play in the yard. Now if only he wouldn't stick every leaf, piece of grass, and twig in his mouth we'd be doing just great. We went to the park a week ago and let Briggs play on the slide, he wasn't really sure what was going on but he really liked it. (sorry the pictures are bad they were on the phone)
FUNNY STORY, Briggs and I were at the store one night while Trent was closing up and so Briggs was just crawling around(Yes he is crawling now). There's nothing he can get into there so I wasn't real worried. Well of course next thing I know his face is covered in something brown, and when he smiled yep sure enough it was in his mouth as well. He had picked up dirt from somebody's shoe and ate it. I'm upset I forgot to get a picture because it was really quite funny, gravel and all.
So he's crawling and getting faster by the day he's hit his head numerous times, almost gone down the stairs, fallen of the bed, and of course has found the laundry shoot which I'm now terrified of. Need I say I need to do some baby-proofing. He's so much fun though, follows me everywhere if I don't have him baracaded in, which in that case he cries. So cute!


Our Little Cougar Fan! (thanks Grandma & Grandpa)


We took Briggs to the doctor a week or two ago and he's getting so big and doing great. He's fairly normal a little under: Stats: 28 inches long and 20lb. 5oz. People always say he's a really big baby and that he looks like he's a least a year. We've come to the decision that he's just really thick(not fat) which makes him look bigger I think. He's also got a huge head I can't remember how big but he was in like the 95th percentile. Means he's SMART right.


HOUSE UPDATE: We got all our electrical done in our family room. We added some recessed lighting, moved some switches to more appropriate spots, and added another light to the back yard. Thanks Buzz! We should have some more done but with the snow all gone we've been doing some much needed yard work. It never seems to end, but we love having a home.

We're almost crawling

It's been awhile but not a whole lot has been going on in the Loveland household. Well alot has been going on but not anything out of the normal hustle and bustle.We have the new windows in are starting on the mudding and re-sheetrocking in some areas. We haven't got a whole lot done in the house over the past while because it's been so nice outside so we've(Trent) has been doing a little cleaning in the backyard, mostly in the sheds. We went to the Jazz game last Saturday and had alot of fun with Clint and Val but forgot the camera. Oh and I did get my hair cut a while ago, which is not all that exciting except that I got it cut short. It's shorter than it has ever been, and...I actually love it. We've also been to quite a few movies, 3 to be exact in 2 weeks. We're not real big on spending money on going to movies, 11 dollars to go sit for 2 hours and then you have to have the popcorn, eh. We've went though because we had a gift certificate and then because we now live in Brigham we have the great option of going on Tuesday Bargain Nights at the Capitol and then taking our buy one get one coupon, wow talk about a good deal. So needless to say Briggs has got alot of Grandma time and loves it and so have we. I have a really hard time leaving him with people but it's been so nice being close to family and just having the opportunity of going out "just the two of us".

Speaking of Briggs he is getting so big, he's starting to get up on his hands and knees and rock, it's so fun to watch him try. It's crazy how fast he starts moving though he can go from laying down to sitting now, almost crawl, pull up on things, roll everywhere, and he learned all that in the past two weeks. I've been wanting this time to come and everyone has been cursing me for it, saying that I'll wish he'd stay stationary. I just don't know what's worse having him cry if I leave the room then trying to crawl after me soon realizing he can't or having him be able to follow me not cry and get into things. I hate crying so I choose having him crawl, that is for now.
Crawling...

Here we go!

Falling down and getting back up
Come help mom

Getting up on everything and falling down quite a few times

He loves showing me what he has, he'll yell until I look and comment

That's my baby!

Love those blue blue eyesThe new do(it's not done in this picture but there it is), and my little guy


Laughing, and once he gets laughing....He laughs till he falls over and belly hurts, and still wants to laugh more. What a goof!

Love Tag

It has taken me awhile but here is OUR story
How did you meet your Love? Answer all the questions HONESTLY . . . .

1. Where did you meet? Well...I took a while to actually "meet" but it was at Kent's in Tremonton.
2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met? When I first saw him which was 5 months before we actually met I thought he was very good looking, straight off his mission and very tan might I add. When we first met though I was thinking "who do you think you are?" He confronted me in a very.....confident way. (more info to come) :)

3. Do you remember what she/he was wearing? He was wearing a blue button up shirt and tan pants, he worked at the credit union so I got to see him all dressed up everyday.
4. Where was the first time you kissed this person? At his sister Lynette's house. (yes it was very very soon) ;)

5. How did he/she ask you out? Well here's the story: He'd been working at the credit union for 5 months and the whole time we would pass by each other or he would come through my line and I would say hi, be nice, and such. Well I never thought anything of it but I was wearing a "promise" ring at the time (dumb) and so of course he thought I was married, wondering why a most likely newlywed was "checkin him out". Well the months go on and he happens to go out with my friend Joelle and they were talking about where they worked, Joelle told him that her friend worked at Kent's Well he figured out who she was talking about and said "she's married right" of course my friend says no, and Trent told her right then and there that he was going to ask me out the next day. So.....next day he's walking out and I'm walking in and he stops me, grabs my hand and says "What's this?". So I say it's just a promise ring, he said so you date then, I said yes, he said how bout thursday, I said sure, and he said see you after work.

6. Where did you go for your first date? First of all he picked me up in his truck which isn't a big deal but he didn't come across as that type of a guy, seeing him in shirt and tie all the time. On our way into Brigham we talked like we had been dating forever, we stopped at his parents and traded the truck for the bike(oh how I miss it but Briggs and the Xterra are a pretty good trade). It was supposed to be a group date but the group ditched so we ate at Maddox and then went up to his sister Lynette's house and played with the girls and watched Hitch. From then on we hung out every single day except for the 10 days I was gone on a family vacation.
The Bike

7. How long did you know this person before you became a couple? That's a hard one, but honestly I would have to say from day one. Because we talked about marriage on date 3. (Those Loveland boys move pretty quick)

8. Has this person ever proposed to you? Yes! The day after I came back from my family vacation, totally wasn't expecting it (well until I saw the camera). At work that day Shane, Trica, and the girls brought me in beautiful flowers which got me thinking, not that he didn't ever give me flowers because he did very often. Trent got off work earlier than usual which was another ? Then he was 30 minutes late to my house and acting totally rushed. He told me we were going up to Lynette's to get some old trunk or something. When we got there he didn't go to their house but over by Box Elder Creek. He could tell I was questioning him so he said it's really old and it's down by the creek, ya right! So we go down this hill, threw the trees and by the creek. He had this blanket set out with like 10 dozen roses all over the rocks in bouqets and with a light dinner all set out. Well we started to eat (remember I had already seen the camera) and he's drinking sparkling cider like crazy. All the sudden he gets up and tells me to come with him and he flips over this rock that says Initium Aeternus which means the beginning of eternity and that was that.

9. Do you and this person have kids together? Yes, an adorable baby boy.

10. Have you ever broken the law with this person? No, we did want to go steal this old green door from the sugar factory in Smithfield though.

11. When was the first time you realized that you liked this person? First date over the course of driving and eating dinner, he totally wasn't what I was expecting.

12. Do you get along with any of the ex's of your partner? I've never met any of them.

13. Do you trust this person? Yes

14. Do you see your partner in your future? Yes
15. Whats the most expensive thing this person has given you? A house. Honestly though the most expensive thing not monetary is the opportunity to stay home with Briggs.

16. What is one thing he/she does that gets on your nerves? When I'm getting ready to leave somewhere and I've only been out of the shower for like 5 minutes and he asks if I'm ready and then continues for every 2 minutes after that. He is getting better though. Or when he can tell that I'm in a mode of getting things done and he starts pulling me away from whatever I'm doing. Drives me crazy!

17. What is the thing you do that gets on his/her nerves? That's easy, spend money on things that he's not so sure we needed, but we did. :) Love you!!

18. Where do you see each other in 15 years from now? Graduated with more kids. Trent says he would like to be nearing retirement, who wouldn't.
Mwah Love you Honey!

We'd love to hear your story, those of you that haven't yet.
