The Briscoe Family

CHRISTMAS

Yes, I am posting about Christmas in April! I need to post everything I have missed for scrapbooking purposes so here it is! Hopefully I will be better at blogging from now on.

Alex was trying REALLY hard to open this present!

Jaxson's favorite gift was this double basketball arcade game. Him and Alex also got Jazz jerzey's to go with it.

BRISCOE CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY

Nelson's favorite gift was this little MP3 music player. He loves rocking out to it.

All the grandkids in their new shirts

NELSON

This is just a cute pic of when Nelson fell asleep reading a book. Nelson is now potty trained! YAY! Actually, can I still say that when he still has accidents quite a bit? The little stinker will do so good and even stay dry through the night and then some days he will just pee his pants all day long! Oh well, he's only2, right? He is still my cuddliest little boy, but he is turning into a naughty boy! He loves to make messes, be mischevious, and tell me no! He's talking better, but basically just copies you when you tell him to say things. His cutest thing he says is when you ask him a question, he says "ya" really cute. And when you tell him do something he says "K"

ALEX TURNS 4!

For his birthday Alex got bug catching gear and a Diego Rescue Pack (just a regular backpack) to put it all in. Then he got all dressed up like Diego and was ready to go huntin' for bugs! To bad the ground was covered in snow that day! Alex is sure growing up. He can ride a bike with no training wheels. He only whines about 70% of the time now rather than 100%. O.k., I might be exagerating. He always makes me laugh with the funny things he says.

Nelson and Grady

Nelson, Me, Grady

I luv these boys!

Brotherly Love!

Jeremy reading People Magazine to Alex to get him to sleep!

EASTER

Nelson all ready for the Gate City Easter Egg Hunt

My favorite boys at grandpa's after the egg hunt

We had the Briscoe family Easter party at our house this year and it was really fun.

Easter Morning!

Jeremy hates this pic! It was easter morning and Alex put on Hannah's flower headband, while holding a sippy cup, and sucking on a sucker binky(ring pop) My 4 year old has turned back into a baby!

SOCCER SEASON!

I love going to my boys soccer games! This is Alex's first year playing. He loved his soccer practice and wore his cleats and jersey all day everyday for a week. Then it was time for his first game and he refused to play! I'm hoping next saturday goes better. Jaxson on the other hand scored 11 goals.

Jaxson is our sports enthusiast. His obsession right now is basketball. It always is during basketball season. He is a HUGE Jazz fan! I don't know many 6 year olds that can watch an entire basketball game on t.v., but that is all Jaxson wants to do lately. He loves the Jazz games best, but if there aren't any on he will watch whatever games are on even if it is girls college games! He cracks me up. If he doesn't grow up to be an NBA player he will definately be a sports announcer! He repeats the whole 4th quarter to me play by play. It is hilarious!

Halloween and such

2009-11-07T08:41:00.000-08:00

Since I last posted Jaxson turned 6 and Nelson turned 2. All my pictures of Jaxson's b-day party are on my brothers camera still so a late birthday post for him is to come! Nelson, well, poor third child didn't even get any pics of his b-day! Didn't even really get a party either. How bad of a mom am I! I am getting his pictures taken soon though so I will do a late birthday post for him too. Meanwhile, here are the pics of all things I haven't posted yet.....................

Fancy Birthday Party
Alex was invited to his cousin Miley's "Fancy Nancy" birthday party and I went to help with it. We got all dressed up fancy and went on a date to it.

BeInG SiLlY

The following pictures are just a bunch of fun pics we have taken of ourselves.

HALLOWEEN

The kids were such fun for halloween this year. Jaxson was Frankenstein, Alex was Elvis, and Nelson was a chicken. Nelson thought it was sooo cool that he could hold his bag out at peoples houses and they would give him candy! He was also very funny later that night when he was on an extreme sugar high!

I have not been very good at blogging all summer so the following is a very long post of our summer highlights!

Nelson and I at the Quick famlily reunion. Yes, Nelson has a big owie on his nose. He scraped off a good chunk of skin on the nightstand. He still has a big red spot on his nose and it has been over a month!

TEMPLE SQUARE

One Friday Jeremy decided we should take an impromptu trip to SLC. First thing we did was take the kids to Temple Square.

LAGOON

The main thing we wanted to do is go to Lagoon. At the beginning of the summer I won 2 Season passes to Lagoon on the radio! I was so excited. Jeremy and I were able to go by ourselves one day and I must say it was one of the funnest days of my life! And I was able to take a girls trip there which was also a huge blast! I was scared to take all my kids, but they had so much fun!

We only bought Jaxson a ride pass, but after watching Jaxson go on a few rides Alex insisted on going too. I was amazed at how brave he was.

Nelson pretty much sat in his stroller the whole time and did amazing! Of course, Jeremy gave him a Dr. Pepper to keep him happy! In fact, Jeremy's way of keeping Nelson happy on this whole trip was to give him our caffienated pop anytime he wanted. I was not very happy about that and I have had to retrain him since we have been home. Nelson has said very few words so far, pretty much mamma and daddy, but I am so proud to announce that now his favorite word to say is ........"POP"!

Nelson with his Coke Zero on the drive home.

Alex had way to much fun!

COUSINS

We got to have Zac, Hannah, Miley, and Grady over one day and we all played in the water and a ton of fun. I was having fun taking girly pictures of Miley.

Miley with cute flowers in her hair

Grady

Zac said the water slide was soooo slow, then I told him to get his shirt wet and go down on his stomach and he didn't think it was "so slow" anymore!

Nelson

Hannah

Miley is such a little poser

CAMPING

My parents and my brother and sis-in-law were going camping to Island Park last week, but Jeremy had a way busy week at work so he was planning on taking me and the kids up by ourselves. Then poor little Nelson got a severe case of croup and we ended up taking him to the E.R. at 11 p.m. He wasn't getting any better with any of the treatments so they wanted to admit him. We spent all night and most of the next day at the hospital. We decide to just go camping a day late because nothings better for croup than the cold, crisp mountain air. He did great, but his breathing still sounds pretty terrible and its been over a week! Anyway, so the pics below are of our camping trip to Island Park.

This is actually on the last day when Jeremy came back up. I think the kids were pretty wore out and ready to go home!

Playing in the water by Mack's Inn

Alex's favorite thing to do is throw rocks in the water.

Jaxson was looking for fish the whole time and then throwing rocks at them!

All the kids eating grampas cherry, chocolate cobbler. YUM!

One Dirty Kid!

Tired and dirty at the end of a long day!

Nelson loved sitting in the little campin' chairs. He looked so cute in them too!

Well, that about wraps up our summer. So now it's time for ..............

THE FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN

Jaxson is really lucky because his cousin(kinda, distantly) Dylan lives just around the corner and they get to walk to the bus stop together and be in the same class.
Dylan and Jaxson giggling.
Jaxson excited to see the bus coming.

And last, but not least......Nelson decided to make Jaxsons first day of school and extra memorable one by breaking all the eggs on the floor!

How could you get mad at that face?

Nelson

Some cute pics of my baby boy.

He got really tired and fell asleep right in his fry sauce!

He already wants to dress himself. This was his attempt at putting on his own p.j's. He would not let me help him!

AlEx & MiLeY = BFF

2009-07-17T11:55:00.000-07:00

Alex and his cousin Miley are so darn cute together. They just love playing with each other. I took these pics a few months back when we were babysitting one day.

After they played in the yard they went inside and I found them naked in the bathtub just laughing.

I was trying to get them to lean their heads in together so I could take a pic and they both leaned their head the same way.

So then I said touch heads.....and this is what they did.
Then I said touch cheeks and they both put their hands on their cheecks, and then I told Alex to kiss Mileys cheek and he did it with his hands still on his face.

Oh they make me laugh! I can't wait until they are 16 and I can show them these pictures!

2009-07-16T11:18:00.000-07:00

Well since it has been FOREVER since I have blogged and I am way behind I decided to just finally start little by little catching up. So to start with the oldest pics I didnt post, It's PRESCHOOL GRADUATION! Jaxson was so cute at his graduation. I thought he would be too shy, but when it was his turn he was so cute and spoke so loud and clear.

YUM, YUM

Nelson is seriously EnJoYiNg some chocolate pudding!

Lick it clean!

More Please!

Easter and more.....lots more.......and even more

2009-04-19T15:46:00.000-07:00

I walked into the kitchen the other day to find Alex like this. Notice the fish sticks on the cookie sheet in the background? Ya, He told me he was just cooking fish sticks for lunch!

Nelson loves, loves the slide! He has been going down it non stop when he's outside and he can even climb up to it himself out. He is fearless!

Mommy - Son Jazz Game Date!

Thanks to Jana we got some great prices on tickets to a jazz game and decided it would be fun if all the moms took their boys. It was such a blast! Even if we did sit on the very very top row!

Zac & Jax - best buds

Boys being silly at Red Robyn

Me and Jax

Zac, Jaxson, Tyer, Hunter

All tuckered out on the way home. How sweet!

Jaxson lost his first tooth!

Isn't he cute?

Nelson loves to accessorize

It's o.k. that I don't have a little girl to put bows and earings and bracelets on because Nelson is my little accessorizer. He loves to put on sunglasses and hats and necklaces

(the cool boy kind, of course)

Backyard Picnic

Who knew that something as simple as a picnic in the backyard would make my kids sooo happy! Jaxson thought it was the coolest thing ever that we even had a checkered blanket and wicker basket for the food. Alex was happy, but he kept asking "Where's the picnic at, mommy?" "When do we get a picnic?" He didn't quite understand what a "picnic" was.

SOCCOR STAR!

Jaxson is playing soccor for Gate City Soccor this year and he is having so much fun! Not to brag or anything, but my kid is pretty dang talented! It is so fun to watch him play. He is so focused and serious it is funny. He scored 6 goals his first game and 5 at his second game.

And Finally........ EASTER!

Grady & Nelson

My kids in their cute church clothes

Nelson...so proud of his easter eggs he found.

Jaxson's playing for the Utah Jazz!

2009-03-28T13:41:00.000-07:00

Jaxson's favorite thing in the whole world are his 553 basketball cards. He plays with them all day long everyday. He sorts them into different categories and counts and recounts them. He has an amazing memory and he can tell you players names and numbers, the position they play and all the teams they have ever played for. He is of course obsessed with the Jazz. So I decided to make him his own basketball card. I thought it would be cute too to use it for his preschool student spotlight.

Alex is 3! Happy Birthday!

2009-03-18T17:46:00.000-07:00

Alex LOVES birthday parties and birthday cakes so he was so excited to have his own finally! I let him pick a cake out of a book of birthday cakes and he wanted the monster birthday cake. It was all he could talk about for weeks. "I get a monster birthday cake mom?!" We had a little lunch time birthday party with his cousins and had the kids decorate monster face pizzas.

This is his monster birthday cake. He loved it! It's so nice to be appreciated!

This is Nelson and his cousin Annalyn at the birthday party.

All the kids playing with Alex's new bubble gun. He got 2 of them!

I don't think Alex even realized he was going to get presents. He was so excited for a birthday cake, he kind of forgot about the presents part of the birthday. So he was doubly excited!

When it was time to blow out the candles I wondered if I would have to show him what to do. I still think of the kid as my little baby! He knew exactly what to do though!

We got him this cute little tricycle. It has a little licsence plate on the back with his name on it. He was sooo excited! This is him doing a cool trick on it.

A little about my bestest bud Alex..........

Alex loves to help me in the kitchen. Never fail as soon as I start making anything within 2 seconds he is pulling up a stool to help. He especially loves to roll out dough. Oh, and make mac n' cheese. The only thing I do is put the water in the pot, and drain the water when the noodles are done. He has to do everything else or there is a major fit involved.

He loves to snuggle baby's and stuffed animals and put them down for naps during the day. This is a pic of him snuggling his Jazz bear. It was so cute the other day I was looking at a magazine and their was a little 3" picture of a sleeping baby and Alex reached out with his thumb and pointer finger like he picked it up and set in his arms and then rocked back and forth humming like he picked up that little baby right off the page and it was real! He has such an imagination!

He loves to drive Nelson crazy! Whenever Nelson is in the high chair Alex has to push his stool right next to him and help him eat. I turned around this day to see that Alex needed to be even closer and sit right on his tray! As you can see, Nelson was not happy about it!

He no longer takes naps unless he falls asleep in the car or if he's really tired he will fall asleep on the floor. The other day I heard a weird noise and I realized I hadn't seen or heard Alex for a little bit. I could not figure out where the noise was coming from and I kept calling Alex's name and then I discovered him, snoring loudly asleep in the laundry basket. What a cutie!

I think this picture totally shows his little personality.

O.k., just a few more cute things about my Alex. He is so polite and always asks me in the sweetest little voice for things. Of course if I don't answer him the first time or if I say no, he keeps asking over and over again and his voice raises each time until he is screaming at me! We are working on that one. :) Whenever he gets hurt even a little bit he cries and whines until I kiss it better and then he is immediately better. It's nice to have magical kisses!

He is such a smart, funny, cute little boy! I love you Alex!

2009-02-25T17:53:00.000-08:00

My poor Boys have been Miserable! They all have a really bad cough and Nelson also has an ear infection. I had to set Nelson down the other day (I have been holding him 24/7!) and sweet little Jaxson was trying to make him feel better. He is such a good big brother! Even though he was feeling horrible himself he just wanted to help Nelson. Jax and Alex share a room and one night after I put them to bed they were both coughing really bad and Jax kept calling my name and when I would go in he would say "Mom, Alex really needs you." He was so worried about his little brother. I don't know what I would do without Jaxson. He is such a big helper.

The kids got this train table for christmas and when you put the lid on it is just a fun little table to color on and stuff. I was excited because we put the lid on it for the first time and turned on Cars movie and got out the big Cars coloring books. The kids Loved it!

Alex is a very picky eater so I have been trying to be creative to get him to eat more of a variety of food. So for a snack the other day I made this monster face. Jaxson loved it and ate the whole thing. The 2nd picture is what Alex did to his.

He immediately took off the spinach and orange and said "I don't like these!" and then he took the raisins off the apples and said "No, the raisins go on the plate!" So much for trying to be a fun mom!

The Binky is Gone!

This is a past picture of Alex with his 2 favorite things, his binky and his blanky. It shows him doing his weird habit of sticking the blankets tied edges in his nose and swirling it around. Weird and gross, I know! A few weeks ago I found out just how comforting his nose picking thing is to him. His stomach was hurting really bad for about a week and he was miserable and cried all the time. When I couldn't calm him down I would take his blanket and swirl it around his nose and his head would immediatly start bobbing up and down and his eyelids would flutter and he would just fall asleep! I mean within like 10 seconds! It was really funny! Anyway, I have been tring to figure out how we were going to take his binky away from him for awhile now because I was sure it would not be easy! But one day I just couldnt find it anywhere and so I made him go to sleep without it and it wasnt as big a fight as I thought it would be so I decided it would be lost for good. He only asked for it for 3 nights and then one morning he told me "mom, you give me a binky, but binkys are for babys. I'm a big boy. I don't need a binky." I was amazed! And better yet, I realized the other day that we were giving him his blanky everynight, but he wouldn't stick it in his nose. So I just started not even giving him his blanky and he hasnt said anything! I guess the binky and blanky were a package deal! The only downside is he used to go to bed very easy and now I have to lay down with him. Hopefully when he's feeling better he wont need that anymore. So I guess my Alex is turning into a big boy! Now, if only I could potty train him.

Jazz Game

2009-02-01T06:11:00.000-08:00

A couple weeks ago we decided on the spur of the moment to go to a Jazz game as a family. I was quite nervous to have all 3 kids at the game. With Alex's non-stop temper tantrums and Nelson constantly needing to be on the go, I thought we were crazy to attempt it! But it ended up being so fun! The kids were so excited the second we got to the hotel. Nelson was just in heaven exploring everything. He insisted on walking everywhere. He would just run up and down the halls laughing. He hated the elevator though, just like his brother Alex. We didn't get as many pics at the game as I would have hoped. We had 2 kids that needed carried and they were giving out big bear mugs at the entrance, so our hands were pretty full!
Jaxson was so fun. He knows all the Jazz players names and numbers so he knew who it was when they would make a basket and he would cheer really loud for them. Alex just stared at the game with a big grin on his face and when everybody would cheer he would turn and look at me and smile. He started chanting "Defense" a couple times but then got embarrassed and covered his face. It was really cute.

Nelson was interested in the excitement for the first couple of minutes and then he got pretty restless and just wanted to eat food off the floor. I was able to get him to last until halftime and then me and him went back to the hotel.

Before the game their were a bunch of team mascots there for the Jazz Bears birthday and they were autographing posters. The kids thought they were so cool. You can't really tell, but Alex fell asleep looking at his poster and he is still holding it right above his face.

Jaxson wanted me to take this pic of him and Nelson. He was like"Mom, look how cute me and Nelson are together. Take our picture!"

After the game we went swimming at like 11pm. Jaxson and Alex LOVED it, but Nelson was a bit tired and cranky. It was so nice to just get away and have a fun family outing even for just one day. We really needed it.

Jaxson and I were having a little bit too much fun taking pictures of ourselves the other day! I just love this kid!

Nelson found a fun new game. He throws all the books off the bookshelf and then climbs inside it! of couse Alex had to join in the fun!

The other morning Alex was being silly trying to make Nelson laugh. It was really cute!

I gave Nelson a haircut the other day and I think he looks pretty darn handsome! The pics are backwards so the before pic is at the bottom!

Isn't he just the cutest!

This is right out of the bathtub and he did not want his pic taken!

This is his wild hair before. I just let him sit in the bathroom sink while I cut it and he did great!

2009-01-07T10:58:00.000-08:00

Christmas Eve
We had our annual Christmas Eve party at Todd and wendy's this year. It was way fun and the food was Delicious! Wendy did a great job with everything and she even had cute ornaments for the kids to paint. They loved it. Thanks Todd and Wendy!

All the babies with their grandpa Terry!

Annalyn, Nelson, Grady, Stetson, Ashlynn

Hannah, Joanna, Miley, Jaxson, Britton, Toby being silly

Miley and Alex - Alex did not want his picture taken!

Jaxson singing Jingle Bells for the program.

ARRG! Matey!

All 3 of my boys got really cool pirate ships from their grandpa Terry. They loved them!

Alex learned how to wink and it is so funny. He has to open his mouth really big to be able to close only one eye!

Grady and Nelson in their cute matching P.J's

CHRISTMAS DAY!

We had a slumber party in our bedroom on christmas eve. We kept the kids up late hoping that they would sleep in, but to no surprise Alex was up at 6 a.m. and ready to go! I was up until 2 a.m. helping santa clause so I was very grouchy! I tied to get Alex to go back to sleep but then Jeremy woke up and like a little kid was like "Lets go see if Santa came!"

The boys got this cool train table and they loved it, but Alex and Nelson both thought you were supposed to sit on top of it.

My boys in their cute christmas p.j.'s

Nelson in his adorable John Deere sweatshirt. He also got boots to match.

2008-12-23T07:42:00.000-08:00

I just had to post a picture of the cute lists that Jaxson made for me today. He decorated this christmas card with stickers and wrote his christmas list on it. He wrote the words all by himself just by sounding them out. I am probably just a way proud mom, but this seems pretty smart for a preschooler. obviously it is not perfect but the list says: goblin (green goblin), pokemon, transformers, and hot wheel. The second list is my grocery list he made for me. It say milk, bread, and sled. He just amazes me everyday how smart he is getting.

Gingerbread House Party

2008-12-20T06:30:00.000-08:00

Jeremy's sister and her family is home for Christmas and we are so excited! We all got together at Grandpa's last night to make gingerbread houses and have a party!

This is Alex sneaking candy. He could care less about making a house, he just wanted candy! I cannot control this kid around candy and it is the worst at grandpa's house!

ME and my BOYS making a house.

The finished product! Beautiful if I do say so myself.

Aunt Jana reading a christmas book to Miley, Alex, Hannah, and JoAnna

I was looking for Alex and I found him, Hannah, and JoAnna in Grandpas room with his stereo blaring christmas music dancing on his bed. It was really cute.

Alex sitting by his cousing Ashlynn.

Alex and Miley decided it would be fun to hide inside the cabinet and Grady is about ready to get in on the action!

Jeremy laid down on the couch and was immediately attacked by the big kids! Jeremy's Nieces and nephews just love him and have always loved to attack him!

BRITTON'S HERE! YAY!

Britton got to come play at our house for most the day yesterday and Jaxson and Alex had a blast playing with him.

This is Britton and Jaxson being silly after playing "fight night". Jeremy has "fight night" when he goes to a friends house to watch the UFC fights, so now Jaxson calls it playing "fight night" when they pretend like they are beating each other up. They both had to change their clothes into "fight night" clothes and they had alot of fun, but I had to break it up after a few minutes or it was going to turn into a real fight!

Nelson has discovered this "motorcycle" as Alex calls it. It is Alex's favorite bike in the whole world and now Nelson is big enough to ride it around and he loves it! It has made for world war 3 in our house! Jeremy was taking pictures of Nelson on it and Nelson started doing silly faces that he has been doing alot lately. He is so funny!

PLAYING IN THE SNOW!

Alex, Britton, and Jaxson had a blast playing in the snow together.

Future Utah Jazz Players!
Alex and Nelson were playing basketball together the other day and Alex had his headband and writbands on so I dressed him in the rest of his Jazz basketball clothes and put this cute little John Stockton jersey on Nelson that aunt Jana gave him. Thanks aunt Jana, I love it! Aren't they the cutest little basketball players ever!
I just thought this was a really cute picture of Alex. He is at such a fun age and also at a very frustrated age because he is starting to talk really good, but I don't always understand him very well. I have been saying to him alot lately "I don't understand" and he gets really mad and says "NO! NOT STAND!"

FHE Dancin'

2008-12-12T08:57:00.001-08:00

For Family Home Evening this week we went to a local barn for some country dancin'. To get into the Christmas spirit we all dressed up as elves. We made up a dance as a family, and I must say, we stole the show, we were so awesome! We had it videotaped and I dowloaded it in the post below. Hope you enjoy!

Cute random pic of my boys all trying to fit in a laundry basket together.

Nelson caught sneaking a Reeses peanut butter cup he found.

2008-11-21T17:30:00.000-08:00

I fed Nelson Ravioli and Jello salad the other day and I guess he decided it was his new favorite food! I have never seen a kid more happy or more messy! (I guess I didn't feed it to him. I obviously just let him have at it!) These are my sweet little monsters that wake up at 5:30 every morning! This is a bit to early for Jaxson, but Alex wakes him up. So Jaxson wanted to lay on the couch and of course Alex had to copy him. I thought they looked really cute!

Nelson started crying so I ran to see what was wrong and he had got him self stuck inside the cabinet. I started laughing really hard so then he thought it was really funny too.

The other morning Alex woke up with a huge craving for Mac N' Cheese and he was going to throw a huge fit until I made him mac n' cheese for breakast so I decided to pick my battles and this was not one of them so the kids got mac n' cheese for breakfast and as you can see they were all pretty happy about it.

Look who's Clapping and Walking! I have seriously been trying to get this kid to clap for forever! Then one day I got him out of the bathtub and layed him on the floor and he just started clapping and laughing! It was so cute! And he is finally getting brave enough to walk. He has gotten even better since I took this video. He will all of the sudden just stand up and start walking. Six steps is about his all time high right now, but he gets better everyday.( by the way, I have since retired the obvioulsy too small p.j. top he is wearing in the video. I was a little embarrased that he was wearing too small of clothes, but oh well, I think his fat little belly is so cute!) He has also turned into a little chatter box. He has always been so quiet and all of the sudden he is constantly and loudly doing his little baby talk. Mostly it is on his play cell phone. He loves to talk on the phone!

2008-11-07T16:12:00.000-08:00

I was helping Jaxson play some games on the computer yesterday and Alex and Nelson were playing so good together in the kitchen and then I realized they were playing a little too good together so I decided to check on them. Alex had got out a box of baby rice cereal which was full and dumped it out all over the kitchen floor and they were both sitting in the middle of it laughing and playing. It was kinda funny because I wasn't going to use the cereal anyway, Nelson hates it, and it kept them busy and happy for quite a while. So, like the nice(lazy) mother I am, I let them play in it for another couple of minutes! :0)

This is a picture of my cute boys in the tub right after I buzzed Alex's and Jaxon's heads. I really like Jaxson's hair like this, but I almost cried when I cut all of Alex's off. For some reason I have a weird emotional bond to Alex's hair. I just think its so cute! I guess it will grow back, right?

P.s. This post seems a little boring, but I have decided that this blog is like my scrapbook and journal so I want to be sure to record even the cute little details of life, so I hope I don't start boring ya too bad!

Spiderman, Lil' Devil, and Batman
Alex almost wasn't anything for Halloween this year because he refused to put on a costume. I finally convinced him to put on the Batman costume by telling him he can beat up spiderman all he wants when he's batman and batman wins everytime because he's stronger!

This picture shows perfectly exactly how Nelson felt all night :(

Every year we all get together with Jeremy's family before Trick or Treating for soup and pictures. Of course, it's not the same without the Phippens! We missed you guys! Thanks Terry for the delicious soup and rolls!

BEST BUDS!

Me and my sweet little angel....oh i mean lil' devil

I had plans this halloween to do fun activities with the kids all day, but then like usual the day was crazy and I ended up taking Nelson to the doctor(The doctor said it is just the stomach flu, but his body is having a hard time getting rid of it since its been a week now! So he gave him some medicine that should help. He threw up again saturday night, but hopefully that will be the last of it and he will finally get better. The poor kid is seriously so miserable!). So once again things didn't exactly turn out how I had planned, but that night after we visited both families Jeremy put Alex and Nelson to bed and I took Jaxson around the neighborhood Trick or Treating. It was really fun to be able to spend some one on one time with Jaxson.

What we have been doing lately..........

Playing Soccor........
Jaxson just finished Fall Soccor. He was big enough to move up to the older team this year and it gave him a little more competition. He Loves soccor and he is really good at it too.

Playing in the leaves...............

Jaxson loved it, but Alex was too scared as usual, and poor little Nelson was too sick to care.

Eating disgusting food.............
I have been really excited to do some fun halloween things with my kids this year, but for the last 2 weeks someone has always been sick so we never even carved pumpkins or anything so finally tonight for dinner I made worms with brains covered in guts (spagetti and meatballs) and the kids thought it was the coolest thing ever! Nelson has been sick on and off all week, but he hadn't thrown up for a full day and was eating and drinking like normal so I let him eat some spagetti ( I thought that was a cute pic of him all covered in spagetti), but I guess the poor kid just couldn't handle it, he ended up throwing up again tonight. It made me feel like a pretty bad mom for feeding him spagetti!

My sis-in-law Trisha had a Halloween Party Saturday Night just for the girls. It was so fun. Everybody's costumes were so cute and we had so much yummy food that I got sick to my stomach. After the party a few of us crazy ones went to Applebees in our costumes, but it was too busy so we ended up at Wingers. We got some pretty crazy looks from people. But it was so fun to just be wild and crazy with no kids! This is me with my sis-in-laws, Wendy(tired nursing mother), Me(witch), Raelyn(vampire Bella), Jana(Devil), Trisha(punk rock fairy)
Me and Trisha - Aren't we cute!

I'm thinkin' I look more like a vampire than a witch, Next party I'll have to add some vamp teeth.

I thought I would do an update on all the kids. This pic is from Jaxsons first day of pre-school. Isn't he handsome?! He is loving school and learning so much. He now writes his name like a pro. Jaxson is such a passionate kid. When he decides he is interested in something, he is full time interested! This summer it was bugs, as soon as it turned fall his new passion was leaves. I gave him an old photo album and he spent all his time collecting leaves and arranging them in his album, he has since decided he wants to collect stamps and wrappers. He comes up with all these ideas on his own. He is also going through a coloring phase. He would sit at the table and color all day. He loves to watch that Planet Earth show and he decided he wanted a list of all the cool animals he sees on the show so we draw a little pic and write the name of it and now he has a whole notebook of animals. He was in high heaven last night when we found a planet earth coloring book! Jaxson is such a sweet kid and is so good to his little brothers. He helps me out so much, sometimes I worry I put too much pressure on him to help with his brothers, but he is always so willing. I bought a parenting book last night and this morning Jaxson asked what the book was about and I told him it teaches me how to be a good mommy. He said "but mom you already are a good mommy even without the book!" I love that kid!

Alex is at such a fun age. He is constantly making me laugh (or cry depending on the mood he's in!). He used to wake up really grouchy in the morning, now he wakes up all silly and hyper(at 5:30 in the morning, I might add!). Although, he does need a bowl of cereal immediatly or it can turn to grouchy real fast! He is definately a moody 2 year old! He doesn't really have temper tantrums like Jaxson did. He just cries...and cries..... and cries. He is just a sensitive little boy. His new thing is everytime he gets in trouble he comes to me with his little puppy dog eyes and says " Be nice to Alex mom!" or "Say sorry to Alex mom!" He is really good to his little brother and absolutely adores his older brother. He copies everthing Jaxson does and says. He has started to be very independent. whenever he spills something he insists on cleaning it up, he insists on throwing his own diapers in the garbage,(I know, that should mean he would be old enough to be potty trained, been there done that, very traumatizing for the both of us!), basically he insists on almost everything being done in a very specific way or it could set off the tears! I guess that is life with a 2 year old! Besides all the terrible twos, he is such a great kid with such a cute personality!

Nelson is developing such a cute personality. He loves to explore and play with toys. He can't get enough of his brothers. He absolutely loves them. I am still his favorite person in the world, but he is starting to venture a little! There have actually been times he wanted Jeremy instead of me! (he really just likes to play with jeremys phone, but i pretend its just that he wants Jeremy to make him feel good!) He just had a dr.'s appt. and he weighs 22 lbs! That seems so big to me. The percentiles showed basically that he is short, fat, and has a huge head! Thats ok, I'm sure he'll grow out of it! He isn't walking yet, because he is a little scaredy cat, but he gets around plenty fast anyway. He has mastered the stairs and crawls up and down them all day long and laughs at his new skill. He is basically a happy kid, but he hates to sleep so he gets tired and then fights it like crazy so it seems like my whole day is spent trying to get him to take a nap. Once I finally get him to bed at night he sleeps great all cuddled up next to me all night long! SPOILED! He is growing up so fast it makes me sad! When I think about how I am responsible for these boys whole lives and for the kind of men they will become it is a really overwhelming feeling. I just hope I have what it takes! I sure am blessed though to have such great kids and a great husband.

First snowman of the year!

This is Jaxsons cool snowman he made today. He was very proud of himself. And as for the outfit Jaxson is wearing, he dressed himself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NELSON!

He got this ballpit from his grandpa Terry and he loves it!

When I gave him his birthday cake he looked at me like "Seriously, your just going to let me eat this?" He was so excited and every bite he took he just giggled. It was seriously the cutest thing ever.

This is the toy Jeremy and I gave him. He didn't care about any other presents he just wanted to play with this.

These are best buds, Grady, Stetson, and Nelson

2008-10-07T12:10:00.000-07:00

LoOk WhO's OnE!

Isn't he ADORABLE!

Nelson David Briscoe was born October 8, 2007. He was a little SURPRISE and it has turned out to be the best surprise of our lives! Nelson is the sweetest and cuddliest and happiest little boy ever! He is truly a huge mamas boy. He is attached to my hip 24/7, which I may complain about sometimes, but I secretly LOVE it! How lucky am I to have this time with him always at my side. He even sleeps in my bed cuddled up to me everynight. He loves to play with his brothers and loves books and any toy with a steering wheel that he can ride on or in. He is a pure joy to be around.

I love you Nelson!

P.s. His birthday is actually tomorrow, but I posted this today because I still have birthday party pics and some other way cute pictures to post so there is more to come!

Snowflake Snowball Caddy Cat

2008-09-25T08:11:00.000-07:00

This is the new edition to our family. We don't know if it is a boy or a girl, but we suspect he is a boy. We can't really decide on a name so his full name so far is snowflake snowball caddy cat. We mainly call him caddy though. Ya know, like a golf caddy. Anyway, He has been super fun. I told Jaxson before we got him that he was completely responsible for him and he has been having alot of fun with his responsibility. I've never seen a kid get so excited to see a dirty litter box! He cleans it with pride! And he always makes sure his food and water is filled. Nelson loves the kitty unless I am holding it and then some major jealousy kicks in. It's really funny. He hits the cat away and gives me a big hug. Alex is the main reason we got a cat. He LOVES cats. Of course if we got Alex everything he LOVES, we would also have a cow,a horse, a goat, and a pig. I figured we could just start with the cat!

My PaRtNeRs In CrImE

Nelson has turned into a little troubmaker and with Alex teaching him the ropes I don't have a chance!

This is a picture of Jaxson and Alex's room after I left Alex and Nelson alone in it for 2 minutes! And yes It was spotless to begin with! That dresser in the back mostly contains all of Jaxsons little collections of millions of small items. Alex decided to remove every drawer and dump them out all over the floor! All of the books are compliments of Nelson. His new favorite game to play "pull every book off the bookshelf"
This is Alex teaching Nelson the game "see how much toilet paper you can flush down the toilet before it clogs up and overflows" and for bonus points how big of splashes can you make to cover yourself and the bathroom in toilet water!
Alex likes to poor his milk back and forth between 2 cups and when it all ends up on the floor Nelson likes to splash in it and rub it all over the floor!

First Alex and Nelson ripped up the newspaper all over the floor and then Alex carried a bag of chips into the living room where Nelson proceeded to dump them on the ground and eat them! And yes, the last 3 pictures were all taken in the same day! awww, these boys are going to grow up and do great and wonderful things together!

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY JAXSON!

September 8th is a very special day. It is Jaxson's birthday, my dad's birthday, and my grandpa's birthday! We always have a fun party celebrating 3 generations of birthdays!

For anybody who doesn't already know it, Jaxson LOVES bugs! He spends all day trying to catch them and reading about them so he knows the best spots to catch them! So, this year he wanted a bug birthday cake and so I made him a disgusting bug birthday cake! It actually tasted really good. I made a chocolate cake and tore it into chunks and mixed oreo cookies n' cream pudding with it and the creme from inside oreos and then topped it with chocolate pudding and crushed oreos. YUUUMMM!

He got all the right birthday presents and was really excited about everyone of them.
One of his presents from Jeremy and I was a bug vacuum. Its like a little dust buster that sucks up bugs and then there is a magnifying glass to see them better. I don't know who liked it more, Jaxson, or all the big kids (like Jeremy). At one time they had a grasshopper, earwig, bumble bee and cat face spider in it! YUUUCK! But man they all had fun!

2. He always wants to cuddle

3. He loves to sing and make up songs

4. The cute way he talks

5. His adorable smile

6. His enthusiasm for everything

7. He is very helpful

8. He is very sensitive to peoples feelings

9. He loves "family time"

10. When I'm sick or sad he gives me his cuddly blanket

Things Jaxson loves:

1. His brothers

2. Climbing on his dad like a jungle gym

3. Hanging out as a family

4. Catching bugs

5. Playing with his action figures

6. Singing and making up songs

7. chocolate milk

8. Playing with friends and cousins

9. collecting tickets, cards, any little trinket

I love you Jaxson! You are getting so big and grown up! I am so proud of the "little man" you are becoming!

Indian Creek Camping Trip

We went camping over Labor Day weekend and it was the funnest camping trip we have been on all year. The place we went was absolutely beautiful and the kids were quite well behaved. Of course, I think what made it the funnest for me was Jeremy was very helpful! Not that he isn't usually, but he was extra helpful this time and I actually got to sit around the campfire at night with the adults after the kids went to bed because the baby slept great.

Jaxson and Marley playing on "the bridge" Jaxson had alot of fun playing with his new friends Marley and Boden.

Jaxson spent most his time catching bugs. (His all time favorite thing to do in the summer everyday all day long!)
Alex warming his hands by the fire.

Nelson driving his car. I am so glad we brought this car. He would climb around inside it forever and it kept him somewhat out of the dirt.
My filthy little Alex. He would just lay down in the dirt and roll around. It was impossible to keep him clean!

Jeremy chillin' with Nelson. They have become pretty good buddies, as long as i'm not around.
Look at that grin!

Fly Away!

2008-08-23T16:40:00.000-07:00

My boys LOVE The Tim Mcgraw song "Fly Away" Whenever we are driving Jeremy turns it up way loud and they sing it at the top of their lungs. A couple of times lately I'll hear Alex when he's just playing by himself singing it and the other day there was a fly by him and he said "Look, mom, bug!" and I said "Thats a fly" He started singing "fly away! fly away!" and now everytime he sees a fly he sings it! My kids are so cute, I know!

Salt Lake City Trip
A couple of weeks ago we took a little weekend trip to Salt Lake. The first day Jeremy and I got to go see the Broadway production of High School Musical. (thanks for watching our kids Jana!) It was pretty cute. I would look over and see Jeremy laughing and when he noticed me watching him he would roll his eyes and say this is so lame! It was funny. Then that night we just played in the pool at the hotel. The kids loved loved it!Nelson would sit on the top step and just splash and squeal. Alex would climb all over the stairs and then when he got brave enough to jump in to Jeremy thats all he wanted to do over and over again. Jaxson started out that first night so scared of the water he would not get off the steps and when Jeremy tried to take him out farther he threw a royal fit! Screaming and crying at the top of his lungs! But by the end of the trip he was running and jumping into the pool with his waterwings on in the deep end and swimming across the entire pool!
The next day we went to the Hogle Zoo. Nelson did great and slept most the time. Alex had alot of fun. Jaxson was a bit mored interested in following the map to find all the animals and then would only look at them for about 1/2 a second and was ready to set out to find the next one.

Love Bird Tag!

1. Where did you and your husband meet?

My friend called and invited me to go to a corn maze in Idaho Falls and Jeremy was driving and picked me up and the corn maze was closed so we went to a movie instead. "The Replacements"

2. The first thing you said to each other?

Hi. was probably the only thing we said the whole night until the drive home and my friend sat in the backseat fighting with her boyfrend over the phone and I sat in the front with Jeremy and we talked the whole ride home and started the "no fight club" (Like the movie "The Fight Club", I know we are dorks) because we thought it was so dumb how much they were fighting.

3. When was our first date?

I don't even know when our first official date was, but it was after we had already kissed! I think we went to a haunted house.

4. First kiss?

It was the 2nd time we hung out together and it was at our friend Brittney's house. (Thanks Brittney!) He walked me to my car and after he kissed me he said "I'll call you sometime, but I'm going out of town tommorrow and then I'm going to be working alot, so I don't know when." I totally thought he was blowing me off! I was pissed! But he ended up calling me the next day and we were together everyday from then on.

5. When were the first "I love yous" said?

About 2 weeks after we met! we were sitting in his car talking about something and I said "you hate me now don't you!" and he said " no, I love you!" And he said it totally seriously and I was really caught off guard, but I said it back without even thinking and then when I got home I was like oh my heck I think I really do love him!

6. Long or short engagement?

short, just over 2 months

7. Where did you get engaged?

We always parked by the Idaho Falls Temple and talked about our future so he took me there, o.k. funny story. I thought we were just going to Idaho Falls to watch a movie. We already knew we were going to get married (even though we had only known each other for 3 weeks!) and that very day Jeremy was saying he was scared to ask my dad for permission. I didn't expect a proposal for at least a month at the soonest. So we drive to Idaho Falls and he had no intention of actually going to a movie. He stops by our spot by the Temple and wanted me to get out of the car. It was freezing outside and there was no way I was getting out of that car. I refused. so he finally gave up and we went to the movie. Then after the movie He was going to try again and the whole drive to the temple I was singing really loud the Dixie Chicks song "ready to run" He was freaking out. So we went to our spot again and I got out of the car this time and he got down on one knee and said " Lacey, I love you, will you marry me?" I was so shocked I said "Did you ask my dad?!" He said yes I asked him today! so then I finally told him yes!

8. Where were you married?

February 2, 2001 in the Idaho Falls Temple

9. Where did you go on your honeymoon?

We went on a cruise to the Bahamas

10. Where was your first home?

We bought a house in Pocatello on Washington street

I tag everyone that wants to do it!

Our summer so far

2008-07-23T15:06:00.000-07:00

Well, I haven't blogged a whole lot lately so I decided to post some of the pics I have taken so far this summer. There is alot to catch up on so sorry!
we had 2 baptisms and a baby blessing last saturday of our nephews. It was a fun family day. I have really been wanting to get a family pic and once again it didn't turn out too great, but I thought I would post it anyway.

I promised Jaxson I would put this pic on my blog because he thinks he looks cool!

Nelson has started to pull himself up on everything! He is growing up so fast!

Alex found the camera and insisted on posing for some pictures and this is what he did. He wouldn't even smile for me. such a nerd!

Nelson and his daddy

This is Jaxsons little bed he made himself to watch cartoons in.

For the 4th of July we went to my sister in laws house. It was alot of fun. All the kids had a blast.

Jaxson played T-ball for the first time this year. He got to be on the same team with his cousin Britton. He had alot of fun and he was really funny to watch. Him and Britton would fight over who got to stand on the pitchers mound while they were in the field and at one point Britton had a bag of m&ms he was passing out to everyone in the middle of the game. Needless to say they weren't exactly competetive.

Alex and Nelson love this pool. Nelson just squeels. it is so cute.

We have a hill in our back yard that the kids just love to play on. Especially in the summer when I put a water slide on it. Alex was too scared to go down it at first, but it didn't take him long to realize how fun it was.

This is my crazy little baby who does not like to sleep like ever! so this is what he looked like twice in one day because he got so tired he just finally passed out. One minute he was babbling and the next I turned around and he was fast asleep!

Nelson't first spagetti dinner

2008-06-29T15:30:00.000-07:00

This is Nelson after feeding him a jar of spagetti baby food. He doesn't like to just eat it, he likes to grab the jar and the spoon and some how wipes it all over his face!
This is Alex after I took the picture of Nelson he threw a huge fit yelling "CHEESE! CHEESE! CHEESE!" until I pointed the camera at him and he says sweetly "cheese!"

2008-06-29T15:13:00.000-07:00

I got this tent while I was pregnant with Nelson and I got it out for the first time and he loves it! Except he's not the only one that loves it. All three boys crowd inside it and play together. It is so cute. It kept them entertained for like 3 days straight they all just played inside the tent all day. I love when they all play together it is so fun.

Camping

2008-05-27T20:42:00.000-07:00

We went camping this last weekend and I was afraid we were going to be cold and wet and miserable the whole time, but it actually turned out pretty fun. It was kinda cold, but didn't really rain that bad. The kids had a blast and Nelson was just as happy and content as can be the whole time.

Dump truck ridin'

2008-05-27T20:15:00.000-07:00

The most entertaining thing on our camping trip for the kids was this little hill that they rode their dump trucks down over and over again. It was really funny to watch too.

Thankful for the cows!

2008-05-21T21:34:00.000-07:00

So for like the last month when we have family prayer Alex likes to kneel down, fold his arms and bow his head and say amen at the end. He thinks its so fun. But tonight when the prayer was over he got all mad and shoved jeremys head down and kept saying amen amen! We finally figured out he wanted to say a prayer himself. So Jeremy helped him and it was so funny. He got the sweetest little voice and would repeat everything Jeremy said in the cute little way he talks and he repeats everything at least twice. But everytime he said amen he would freak out again and want to pray again. This went on for like ten minutes, Jeremy just kept thinking of things to bless and be thankful for and then Jeremy said I'm thankful for the cows. And Alex went off for like 2 minutes "thankful for the cows, the cows, and the cows, thankful for the cows, the cows.......and on and on. It was so funny. Then he was finally satisfied and said amen and was ready for bed.

Nelson is 7 months old!

2008-05-08T17:04:00.000-07:00

I can't believe my little baby is 7 months already! I seriously think that in my mind i think of him as like a 4 month old. I really want to cry when I think how fast he is growing up. He has been such a fun baby. I call him my giggly baby. He laughs all the time at everything. He is also the cuddliest baby ever. Everytime I pick him up he wraps his arms around my neck and gives me like a huge bear hug. The other day Jeremy was saying "shouldn't he be able to hold himself up better when we are holding him" I was like, "he can hold himself up just fine he just wants to cuddle into whoever is holding him" I love it!He sits up now like an expert and rolls back and forth. He doesn't really travel very far, but that is fine by me. He still doesn't love baby food. Today everytime I would give him a bite he would immediately blow a rasberry and spray it all over me. I was laughing pretty hard. He is a huge mommas boy and would be happy cuddling his momma all day long. I wish they never had to grow up!

Jaxson said the funniest thing today! I thought I would die laughing. He was sitting watching t.v. with Jeremy and a Miller Light Beer commercial came on and when it got over he said
Jaxson: "I don't like the light beer. I only like the normal beer."
Jeremy: "What?"
Jaxson: "Root Beer"

Look Alike? Or Not?

I thought it would be fun to compare baby pics of all my boys to see if they look alike. They are around 7 months old in the pics. I think Jax and Nelson look alike, but Alex, where did he come from? The last pic is of Jeremy. I don't know how old he is in it.

So I have been really frustrated at how expensive it is to get really cute professional photos done, so I decided to try to do some myself. I got the camera out and got some pretty cute pics I think! The funnest part was editing them afterwards. I think that made them really cute!What do ya think?

This is Alex with his cuddly blanket. Any blanket that is tied with the fringes on the edges is his cuddly blanket. He sticks the fringes in his ears and his toes and lately in his nose!
Baby Nelson better not dare ever be seen using one of these kinds of blankets or it is war!

Jaxson's cuddly blanket is a satin sheet that went on my bed that he found one day when he was like 2 1/2 or 3 and said "oh mom! this is the cuddliest blanket i've ever seen!" From then on he would get them out of the closet or off my bed and we would find him cuddling in them. So we finally sacraficed the sheets to him to be his cuddlies!Talk about an expensive cuddly!

Alex seriously freaked out through the whole hair cut! He sat on my lap and screamed like we were torturing him! It made me feel so bad! But here are the cute results!

Silly Alex!

Alex was acting really silly the other day. Of course once I started recording him he wasn't being as funny, but I thought it was still cute.

BATH TIME!

Viva Las Vegas!

We went to Las Vegas over spring break and had the funnest time of our lives! It was seriously the funnest vacation we have ever been on. The place we stayed was so nice (thanks jana and mark!). The kids were really well behaved and everything just went perfect! We didn't want to come home.

These pics are at Circus Circus. Jaxson had so much fun on all the rides. Alex wouldn't go near any of them, but Jeremy won him the bear and the fish and he loved them! He would give the bear a kiss and cuddle him and then switch for the fish and kiss it and then cuddle it and back and forth. It was funny.

Baby Nelson in his cute little swim shirt, wish you could see the shorts too. Its a way cute outfit!

Our favorite place was the Dolphins and Lions and Tigers at the Mirage. Jaxson kept saying he wanted to see the dolphin jump out of the water and then right in front of us like 1 ft. away it jumped really high out of the water. He was so excited!

These are at FAO Schwarz at the Forum Shops. Alex loved the cow until Jeremy tried to put him on it. He was scared, imagine that!

Alex and Nelson did really good at taking their naps on the go!

These pics were at the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. Jaxson thought it was pretty awesome. Alex got scared a couple of times.

I wanted to post a pic of all 3 boys together, but its almost impossible to get a pic of that. so this is the best one I could find. It was Christmas and they were all in there christmas jammies.
