I am going to finally type something........(Neil)




Just wanted to say to my twins that it has been so fun having yall around. Your a pain sometimes but, a joy most the time.

Some things I have observed from you.

Haley- Haley loves to just go and go and go.....you are all over the place! Lot's of energy. You like to experiment and find things out hands on....even if that means pinching your hands or falling on cement on your head every once in awhile. You seem to like different textures. One of your favorite things is crawling on the couch. Although you fall on your head off the couch you still seem to like to get up on it..........I don't get that part. One bit of advice from Daddy......once you see something hurts, don't do it again. It's not that smart.

Jackson...my boy....well...Jackson loves to observe, to watch and listen to things. He really loves music. A couple of times now I have set you down in front of the tv to watch the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on Sunday and you just sit and stare and listen. You like watching live concerts in HD. Today you watched Holland and Oats? in concert. Anyway, the other thing that I love but you need to stop is that you tease your sister! It is really funny to watch you tackle her and put her in the cradle. Today in church you took down your cousin Luke in Priesthood meeting....good job...but someday Luke will probably out grow you...so watch out!


If I had known kids could be so fun I wouldve got married at 16! Well, I guess I would have to serve a mission.....so 21! On second thoughts, I would miss out on all the stuff I did.....so lets just say.....life is perfect. Thank you Michelle for putting up with my crap and without you life would be much more difficult. Thanks for keeping this home organized and in shape.

Until next time...... Peace

Halloween 2008

The kids were winnie the pooh and his honey pot. Jackson ticked off Haley because he kept attacking her and trying to swat the bumble bees off the top of her honey pot.

Double Trouble

The twins are now Nine months old. Wow how time flies. They are trying to walk but mostly just falling a whole lot. It is tough to show sympathy when they fall for like the 50th time each day. Usually they just get a "you're okay get up" Or "You're fine there is no blood". Jackson weighs in at 18 lbs 12 oz and hale is a whopping 16 lbs 3 oz. We found out Jackson is allergic to milk....crap thats like the worst allergy around. I hope he grows out of it. They have learned to wave Hi and bye and jackson will even shake his head no. (although i don't think he knows what it means. he is just copying me.) They eat everything in site although most of it isn't edible.
Anyways, pictures are more fun then words so I will just show you what they're up to. By the way there are like 5 postings so keep scrolling down.
We were throwing the leaves up in the air and the kids loved it although their faces say otherwiseWe took the kids to thanksgiving point and let them see all the stuff. Jackson went on his first hayride ever. Which he loved and laughed so hard that he threw up all over....Yuck!
The twins took a bath in great grandma fullmer's old wash basins. It makes the perfect size tub and I don't have to kill my back bending over
This is Haley's new favorite toy. She sits on it forever and when you say bouncy-bounce she starts to try and do it herself.
Jackson loves to "drive" and likes anything with wheels
We went up to sundance with Neil's mom and his sister's family to see the changing leaves. I am a horrible mom and for got jackets for the kids so we wrapped them in our sweatshirts. It is so pretty up there. I love this time of year. You get to see how beautiful the outdoors are.

grandma Bryce her grandkids.
Everybody needs a "naked baby in the tub" picture. and see my babies have rolls.
Jackson is a cubs fan but he didn't cheer hard enough because they lost 3-0 in the playoffs
Haley will suck on a corn cob for good half hour or more. It is my dad's favorite way to babysit.
Neil's idea of a stroller, course he gets lots of comments from all the girls
The shirts say it all.

So.... I know that I am horrible at this whole blog thing, but I have a good excuse this time. My husband stole my computer. Neil has started his own business called Bryce Media. He took our computer until the company can afford to buy its own. So far it is going well and he has quite a bit of business for just starting out. He is much happier being his own boss and not having to punch the time clock. Although, I think he is working more hours then he did before. However, for the time being it is a little hard to post pics so for now you get a verbal description and hopefully I can get pics later this week.
As for me. I am continuing to work at the hospital which is a blessing for now while our income is more sporadic. We are trying to put in the back yard in our home. Which I have decided if we ever buy another house, I am going to just buy one that has everything done because me and Neil aren't the best "do it yourselfers" in the world.
I continue to run daily but I did give up yoga since it is impossible to do the poses while 2 kids are climbing all over you.
The twins are growing everyday. Haley is all over the place. She pulls herself up to furniture and walks along it. She has decided the stairs are her next big challenge. We got the gate installed just in time. She is a little princess and poses with a big smile anytime the camera is pulled out. She wants to explore the world and goes nonstop She averages 2-3 thirty minute naps per day which pretty much gives me no time to myself but somehow she is very happy on no sleep. She got her bottom teeth in which are adorable when she smiles.
Jackson is more thoughtful and a little less active although he is pulling himself up to furniture. He is very sweet and loves to laugh at everything. He loves to go swimming and thinks he is a big tough guy because he dunks his head in the water and splashes really big. He loves our aquarium and will sit and watch the fish forever. He is definantly a water baby. He already loves to play catch which consists of trying to pick up the ball dad rolls to him and the throwing it (which is really just him dropping it) back to dad.
The funnest thing is to watch the interaction between the two. At 8 months they already tease and torture each other. Jackson is not afraid to tackle his sister and vice versa to get the toy they want. Today I heard haley screaming her lungs out and went into find Jackson had backed her into a corner to try and get her binky and she was holding onto it for dear life and he thought it was hilarious. They are also very sweet with other and often have laughing contests with each other in their high chairs.
My sister-in-law and her family moved into the basement apartment in our house. It is so fun to have them around but gets quite noisy when all 3 of our babies have tantrums at the same time. I love having her girls around although I am not quite sure how to play with little girls....I am more accustomed to just having my nephews around that want to play tackle and other violent sports.
Oops time to go do some work. I will post pics later.

Were 30!!!!!!
Lots has been happening around our house. Me and Neil have both turned 30 in the last month. Crazy huh? We have to grow up now I think. The kids are getting bigger by the minute. Haley now moves, scoots and rolls all over the floor. Her newest thing is to prop herself up on the back of her head and scoot around with her feet. She is trying very hard to crawl and gets up on her hands and knees but doesn't get very far. Jackson is content to lay in place and observe the world. When he feels like it, he rolls over and looks from a different angle. His favorite thing to do play with his daddy and they both love to swing and go jogging with mom every morning. It keeps them both quiet and happy for 45 minutes!!!! yea.
Neil did a triathalon at Echo resevoir. It is 800 meter swim. 12 mile bike and 5k run. He was awesome. He is trying to convince me to do one with him in november, but I am trying to still hold onto the excuse of just having had twins and not in shape to do it as long as I can. I did recently start doing yoga which is helping aleviate the aches from carrying the twins around all the time. It is great. Neil says I have to come to bed now so I will finish later. Ha ha.
