String of Videos....

Well, I finally posted some videos on here for you. Granted, they're not as pleasing to the eye or ear as Kirks awesomely crafted home movies, but hey a girl can't be good at EVERYTHING! Right?!?!
Just some of Will's Milestones and EJ Jammin' Out! to Mario Brothers, I think?

There's a Warning Below, but I will WARN YOU NOW! TURN THE VOLUME OFF BEFORE YOU WATCH THESE VIDEOS! My voice is impossibly, insanely dorky...I've got the baby high pitch squeel goin' on! It does NO ONE ANY SORT OF GOOD listening to that kind of NONESENSE! I sound LAMe! SO please.... and, if you do hear it, give a crazy Mom a break!

Will Crawls

For Family Night, the kids ran around and put outlet protectors all over the house. He's getting way too fast, way to quickly! We've got a lot of baby proofing to do!

the next post of Eryn Jane dancing is hilarious. She must have picked up some breakin' moves from her father. Well, we think it's funny, every time we watch it we find ourselves cracking up. Maybe it's only the kind of thing that parents find so funny. She's pretty crazy and we're pretty crazy about her, how could we not be...

I Feel Like Dancin

EJ was just so excited to be getting ready for the snow! She couldn't contain herself any longer! Sometimes you just "GOTTA DANCE!"

Will Waves

one of his newly learned tricks....
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE......Turn your Volume DOWN before you Play this video. TRUST ME, you really, really DO NOT want to hear my voice. It's "LAME!" It's just plain ridiculous!

Milestones...

My baby turned 8months old on the 17th of this month. We were up in Flagstaff enjoying the snow at the time. So, we introduced him to snow for the first time. He wasn't too thrilled, especially when mom sat him in it to take pictures and he fell face down in it! I'm such a mean mom!

(EJ said- "Mom, Will looks like a gingerbread boy!" and that he most certainly did!
I'll post more on our trip soon!~)
Also, this past Wednesday, our little buddy started Waving & Crawling, all in one day! Crazy! I have video that is SOO CUTE! I'll post it as soon as I can figure it out!
I'm not ready for him to crawl!
I am, however, ready for him to produce his first tooth. How long do we have to suffer the grumpiness and the slobber with no reward?

Happy 11th Briggs...

I can't believe I have an 11 year old son! One more year and he'll be in Young Mens!?!? He'll be recieving the priesthood??? Crazy Insane!
He didn't get any presents today, but he had a great birthday even so. I made him his favorite breakfast, scrambled eggs & bacon and we had Supreme Nachos for dinner and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream for dessert. He also got calls from both his Grandma and his Oma and his bishop. Yeah, lots of love comin' his way today!
He is so excited for his birthday party next Friday! A Lego Building Party with some of his friends! He's just sad that his best friend Craig won't be there, but he'll be with us in Spirit! We miss you Craig!

Happy Birthday Buddy! We Love You SOOO Much!

To all the Rabid Anti-Dentites

Listen,

It ain't easy being me. I just do. All you haters out there you best recognize. I will share my secret only this once.....MILK. I drink it like it is water and with almost every meal. The Doc's can't believe how good my teeth are since I have not been to a dentist in 3-4 years....."MILK lad" is the answer I always give. They give me some spiel about genetics, I say "MILK". Now, I might get teased because I am a bit more relaxed in the tooth-brushing area. Please don't interpret this as not brushing my teeth. I brush...most of the time.....my breath does not have a funk and my gums are "Very nice" whatever that means. Now if only my kids had the same genetics...I mean drank as much milk as I did, we would not having any more family teeth issues...

What Did I Tell You???...

What Did I Say??? Huh???
Luckiest S.O.B. (pardon the french) on the planet!
NO CAVITIES!!!!
Ours is a very Passionate Love/Hate Relationship! I shouldn't say Love/Hate, cuz that's not really true...he can't help it!
I'll say Love/Jealous Relationship, Yeah...that fits much better!

Kirk will be soo disappointed in us...

Eryn and I went to the dentist today to get our teeth cleaned and xrays taken. It wasn't fun, although Eryn Jane was so very good.
Now, before reading the outcome you must know that Jens is always telling me to chill out when it comes to teeth brushing. I'm a freak about it. I help my kids ALL THE TIME to make sure they're doing it right. I do have trouble getting them and myself to floss regularly, but we never miss brushing!!!
Well, Eryn has 4 cavities and I have 5..... Crazy! Disgusting! and So Embarrassing! Jens was so shocked! I reminded him how much soda I drink and how long it's been since we've been to the dentist, then he wasn't so surprised any more! Yes, I'm horrible!
Jens has an appointment on Monday...he's acting scared, but knowing my husband and how freakin' lucky he ALWAYS IS (p.s. it's frustrating! ) He wont have ANY cavities! I won't even comment on how often he does brush his teeth, because I love my husband very much and I think he has so many admirable qualities!

a little tid-bit from Jensy's blog...

Since I haven't blogged in a while, and obviously not planning to terribly soon, I thought I'd add this funny story about Eryn Jane that Jens wrote in his blog. She is constantly cracking us up...

We have been doing some house cleaning this week and Eryn and I went down to the dump the other day. Eryn likes to hang with me and she is at a fun age where she asks really honest questions and begins to care about things more and more. Well, we have a plan to purchase a puppy when William turns 3. The kids always talk about it and I have asked that they do there homework to see what kind of dog they want to get. I guess Eryn has made up her mind that she wants a Husky. Here is the conversation we had on the way to the dump:

Eryn: Dad....Do bee's sting dogs?
Jens: Not sure. I guess so.
Eryn: But what if the bee stings our HUSKY?
Jens: We have a husky?
Eryn: No...when Will turns 3.
Jens:Ohh...well you don't need to worry about that until a few more years
Eryn: (Crying softly)
Jens: What is wrong?
Eryn: Now we will need to get a new HUSKY when our other one dies!!!!

I could not help but laugh that she was worried about replacing a husky we don't even have with another husky due to a bee sting. The way she was saying "Husky" was also funny. Like a friend told her about this type of dog and she is not really sure what it is.
