A New Beginning!!

Soooooo!!! I know it has been forever since I have posted anything so here is what we have been up too. The holidays were awesome of course and spent a lot of time with family. January came and I started back into school last of my pre-requisites until I apply for the LPN program in March. January was a fast month and now into February.

I have been married to my best friend and eternal companion for 10 years!! Where has the time gone. I fall more in love with him everyday and I don't know what I would do without his love and support everyday. Love ya Justin!! Hopefully for an anniversary we can get away to Vegas in a couple of months. I want a get away for our 10 years but we will see. :)

For Valentines day we had a murder mystery party we attended and for those who don't know me I hate costume parties. But after all the stress about costumes it was so much fun. We had fabulous food and awesome company. (I'll post professional pictures later when we get a copy of them.)

Justin as the Baseball Player!!

Me as a Singer!!

Now the end of February has been crazy!! I found a job!!! I am going to be a CNA a a new rehabilitation place in Idaho Falls called Promontory Point. I haven't started but am really excited and nervous at the same time. It is a night shift. I have never worked a night shift so a lot of Mountain Dew this weekend will probably be my best friend to keep me awake. That is the only part I am worried about. I love working with the elderly people.

Well I hope everyone is doing well and my goal is to be better a blogging. Sorry Whitney and Lindsey!! :) I promise I'm going to work on it so you can be more informed.

Until next time!! (Hopefully sooner then later) :)

It's Great to be 8!!!

Bradley turned 8 on the 3rd of November. Since I had school that night we had a little party with his friends on the 4th at Leo's. It was so fun and he had a blast with his friend and grandparents.

Bradley and his friends and brothers


Bradley and his cake




Then on Saturday the 6th he got baptized. He was so cute and excited to get baptized and to be able to "wash his sins away". He kept saying that he was excited to do that. It was such a special day and were grateful for the family and friends that were here and all the others who couldn't thought of him on this very special day. We love you Bradley and are glad you made this decision in your life. When you look back in life you will be so grateful for the Atonement of Christ and what it means to have baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. Justin gave such an awesome blessing and the spirit was so strong there. Of course I cried. I'm glad I have a worthy husband who holds the priesthood worthily. I love you Justin too. (Here are a few pictures of the special day.)

Bradley and Justin getting ready for the big day


Our Family on his special day!!

Bradley lost his first tooth FINALLY!!

Ya I was pretty sad last night. I called home on my break at school and Justin told me Bradley had something to tell me. Bradley said mom, "I've got a surprise for you." What's that Bradley? "I pulled put my tooth." I was so excited. He did it all by himself to0. Bradley is going to be 8 in less then a month and I was wondering when he was going to be losing teeth. I was so happy but sad at the same time cause I wasn't home to celebrate with him. Oh-well. I'm over it now, but its about time he lost a tooth. Good job Bradley!! Excuse the picture. I woke him up when I got home to take a picture. The tooth fairy gave him a dollar!! :)

Sickness

Okay,can I just say I'm sick of Doctors offices, and everyone in our house hold being sick. This last month we have all got the flu except Bradley and Justin. We have all gotten colds. Justin got the friendly kidney stones. Poor thing. He couldn't go to work for almost a week cause he was so drugged up with pain medication. I hope I never have these things. The Dr. called him a true man cause he passed 2. He delivered twins. :) That is our joke in our family. Here is a picture of the 2 he passed but if you could imagine that coming out it makes you hurt even though they look so little. They aren't smooth at all they are jagged all the way around them. I'm just glad Justin is feeling so much better.

Mya just had a reaction to the MMR shot.She broke out in a huge rash and when I took her in they thought it was chicken pox until I told them she got shots awhile ago and the reaction after this shots happens with 12-13 days after the shot. Poor little thing she has been a crab lately and that is why cause of this.

Please let us be with good health until next year. Please!!! :)

Mya Surgery

Mya had surgery this morning to get tubes put in her ears. She has had 4 ear infections in like 4 months so it was time to do something cause I was getting sick of it. We were there at 5:40 and we left at 8. It was the fastest surgery and recovery ever. She was such a trooper. This was the only picture we got of Mya in her 4 times to big gown and her teddy bear they gave her. (Don't mind me in the picture) You wouldn't have even guessed she had it done cause she is acting so normal. I wish all surgeries were like this. Oh and also don't forget I had to take her earrings out and of course someone had to call my bald headed, pink blanket baby a BOY!!!! I was so irritated. I can't wait until she gets hair but if she follows after her mom it will be awhile. Sorry Mya!! :)

Mya's Birthday!!

Personalize your own free picture slideshow

Mya's Birthday was so fun!! I can't believe she is 1 already. This year has gone so fast. We love this little girl. She is going to be busy like her older brother Bradley. She looks a lot like Mason but she has the girl look. I must say I'm pretty jealous cause she has longer eyelashes then me. We are so glad she is part of our family. It is so nice to have pink in the house besides all blue. Blue was my favorite color but now pink is. :) She got lots of clothes and some doll toys. We love you little Mya!!

Back to School!!

Well the boys were so excited to go back to school this morning they thought they needed to be up by 6:45. They were so cute. They kept talking about lunch and how Mason gets to stay all day at school and Bradley was telling Mason all the stuff about his teacher he needed to know and how much homework he is going to have. I remember when I was little and how excited I was to go to school the first day in my new cute school clothes. They had there clothes picked out last night all set and ready to go this morning. I pray everyday that these boys will have respect for the kids and especially there teachers. Hope they have a good day and a good school year. I love you boys. Gotta love Idaho weather. It was 48 degrees this morning and raining. Here are a few pictures of them. :)

There cute school clothes and looking cute on there first day of school!! :)

Ready to go!

Leaving the House.

Boys on the bus!

Love & Miss this Man!!

Well today is a Happy day the kids go back to school and also a sad day. Today is Brad's Birthday (Justin's Dad). Some days I wish we could go back in time and I could have met this man. Justin and I met after Brad past away. Each one of the boys (Justin and his brothers) resemble him in one way or another. I love just getting around the boys and listening to them all reminisce about there Dad. They all sit and laugh and tell stories about him and how he was and how he would be if he were here. We can't take it back cause it was Gods plan unfortunately to take him early but we miss him. I wish he were here to see his boys and how they are to there kids and there wife's. He would be so proud of them in all they do and there accomplishments. I know he is close though and watches over us everyday. We love and miss you Brad!!

CNA course here I come!!

So I started on Monday my CNA course in Idaho Falls at EITC. I'm pretty nervous about it but it should be pretty easy. Well let me take that back. So tonight we had class and were trying to learn the blood pressure stethoscope thing and lets just say I ended up showing everyone in my class what a boob I was due to the fact I got so frustrated cause I couldn't hear a thing. So I was pretty upset and came home bawling to Justin and the sweet husband I have helped me until I figured it out I had the ear pieces in my ears wrong the whole time and I thought I just couldn't hear. Also I figured out even though I'm not at a church school there are a lot of people out there who are willing to help and help you succeed with them. I had so many people in class trying to help me tonight just so I could understand how to do it. Thanks friends in my class. :) Also I have such a sweet lady in my class whom is in my sisters ward in Rigby and I just love her already. Cindy Schaat you are such an awesome woman and I can't wait to get to know you more and love you just like as if you were my mom. :) Well here is one of the uniforms I had to get for class. Yes it is big cause I wanted something comfy for my rotations I have to do (no I may look prego but I'm not). Here you have it me going into the CNA course. (More events coming in the next couple of weeks so I can update more. Stay Tuned.)

No more excuses!! I'll strive to do better!! :)

Okay! I know it has been forever since I have posted anything. Okay I have now finished 2 semester since the last post and put kids in swim lessons and now I'm back in school again in a CNA course in Idaho Falls and will be taking 9 credits up to BYUI too. My kids start school on Monday and I can't wait and either can they. That will change when they get older. :) Also my baby is going to be 1 in a week. Wow time has gone by to quickly. I can't believe it. I'm so grateful for and awesome husband who supports me in everything and helps me out 100%. Thanks Justin I will owe you big when school is done. Also this post is for Family in Denver so they know I will STRIVE to do better at posting since that is the only way we can see each other and see the kids. :) It is not a promise but I will try to be better at it.

Can you tell the Difference??

Justin & I were laughing on how people can't decide who Mya looks like. We have pictures of Paisley (Lorin & Cassie's girl) on the fridge and how Mya and her look so much alike. So I'm posting a picture of Mya and Paisley so you can see the difference.
MYA
PAISLEY
How Funny Huh!!:) They look a lot alike.

Where did the TIME go??

Hello everyone. I know it has been forever since the last post. A lot of things have changed. Wow!! We had Christmas, New Years, I went back to school, Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day and now!! So considering I have forgot all those I would start now.
I returned back to school and put my application in for the Fall Nursing Program at BYUI. (Wish me luck) Because of school, being a mom and wife and trying to do homework it has been a lot for me so this has been put on the back burner. I know enough excuses.
Well the boys are growing like crazy and as for MYA she is a chunk and I'm afraid is going to be as busy as Bradley. She is so much fun and is almost 7 months old. That has went to fast. She is such a good baby and loves her daddy. Well I also need to give my Husband a lot of credit too. He is supporting me 100% for me to be in school and if it wasn't for all his help it would not be possible. Everyone at school asks me how I do it with 4 kids and under the age of 7 and it is because of him that I'm able too. Needless to say he did get a vacation with his friends to go to Mesquite and Vegas without me. I was jealous but I'm glad he went and had fun. I love you Justin!!
Anyways I hope I can be better at updating but not making any promises. Sorry,have to focus on getting good grades. So until next time.....

Halloween/Bradley's Birthday

Bradley's 7th Birthday!! I can't believe he will be getting baptized next year. That is crazy. He has his days when he is very good and then other days when he is a little stinker. But we still love him. He is so smart and sometimes for his own good. We love you Bradley!!


Halloween was a great one this year of course. The boys were so cute and so was Mya. Justin had to much fun painting there faces so if you can't tell what they are sorry either could I.:)

Mya 6 weeks old!!

Mya in her Halloween witch outfit!!:)

Hanging out with her dad watching football!!

Wow!! Time has flown by and Mya is getting big. We love her so much and so do the boys. It is fun to have her around and watch the boys interact with her and of course all the kisses. She loves to hang out with her dad and watch football too.

Mya's Blessing

We blessed Mya on Oct. 11th and Justin did a great job considering the fact that this is the last time we will be doing this. We do feel like our family is complete though. It was a nice day to be around family and thanks to all that came and supported our family.

Scentsy!!:)

Okay so I decided to make a little extra money but also love the stuff so that is why I decided to sale Scentsy. I'm way excited and in an awesome group who are a great motivation. So if you have any warmers and need some smellies, or interested in there other products let me know. I'm trying to get my name out there so if you know anyone please let me know if I can get them anything. I'm really excited about it and hopefully can get some help from my friends and family!! Thanks!!

Peanut Posh Party

Okay so I'm having a Peanut Posh Party on the 17th of October @ 1:00 at my Mother in laws house in Idaho Falls. They sell car seat covers and boys ties but most of all they sell the cutest bows ever. The flowers on the bows are interchangeable so you can match them with any outfit you have for your baby or older girls too. Not only that you can buy little bottle caps that go on top to be more creative with them. They make great Baby Shower gifts also. It comes in a big package for only $35. Mya has a set and I love it. I get so many compliments on it too. You can check out there website at www.peanutposh.com. Invite anyone you know who would be interested. They are coming from Utah so the more the better for them. Let me know if you need directions or would like to order one before they come so they will have it here for you.

Peyton Lindsey Briggs

One Proud DADDY!!
Cute Briggs Family
Peyton & Mya
Baby Peyton

Little Peyton Lindsey Briggs was born tonight at 6:35 and she weighed in @ 6 lbs. 13 oz. and 20 in. long. She has blonde hair so it looks like she has none. She is so cute and glad to have her as part of our family. Lindsey did great with this one. Labor went well and same with delivery. Brionni was so cute with her too. I'm glad cause she can say she has 2 under the age of one. Really she does. They are such proud parents. She is a cutie and I'm glad Mya will have a close cousin to her age. The thing that is even more funny is that they weighed the same and the same height. Good job you two she is a keeper and so cute.:)

Picture Perfect!!

Here is a picture that my Sister-in-Law Cassie has taken of Mya. She does such an awesome job. I love all the ones she has taken of her but haven't got to see them all. I've been waiting to see them. Hurry up Cassie!!:) I don't know how to download all of them so here is one. If you want to see more click on her blog (Pink Paisley) on my page and you can see them on hers. Check out her blog anyways. She does such a good job!!
