Neil & Michelle Bryce Family

2010-11-12T05:50:00.000-08:00

We stopped by lake powell on our way home from Arizona. Jackson loved getting in almost as much as his mom. Can't wait to take him when its warm enough to ski!

The kids decided they didn't like these costumes so Haley was Dora and Jackson finally decided to be Mickey, but never let me take a picture

So I am really bad at doing posts, if you haven't noticed. But, once again, I am going to try and do better. As you saw in the pictures, Cameron Mark Bryce was born on July 28th. Wow is three different! I thought after having twins it would be a breeze..... In some ways I was right. Cameron is an absolute angel. He is the smiliest (is that even a word) baby ever. He has been sleeping through the night since 8 weeks and is so patient and sweet. I forgot however, that with the new baby, I would have two 2 year olds. Both of whom are a delight, but keep me very busy. They love riding their bikes, playing with trains, etc. They love their little brother so much that it often borders on mauling him. Cameron patiently lets them "play" with him most the time. I can barely leave him alone for fear that Haley will pick him up and hold him or worse yet carry him across the house! She loves him so much. Since I won't let Haley be in charge of him... those are her words....she has resorted to using her dolls. She loves them, and changes their diapers every 3 hours or so which I realized she was using a new diaper of camerons every time. Apparently I am still buying diapers for two babies.

....Speaking of which, We finally have both twins potty trained!!!!!! I never thought that going in the toilet could make me so happy. But they are doing great.

For Halloween, we went down to Arizona to visit Neil's parents. I love trick or treating down there in 70 degree weather. So much better then Utah! Jackson was Mickey Mouse and Haley was the cutest dora the explorer complete with a little brown wig. They really got into it this year. They ran as fast as their little feet would carry would carry them to each house. They even insisted on going to the ones that were dark and not participating. Haley would come running back saying "Somebodies not home there mom" and take off to the next door. They thought it was the best holiday ever. We had our fill of it. Between a Bryce and Bishop family party, ward trunk or treat, sat trick or treating, and monday visiting aunts and uncles in costume, we had our fair share. I am ready to move on to the next holiday.

Well sorry for the novel I will try and be more consistent so I am not cramming it all into one post

The first weekend in February we went snowshoeing up to our friends cabin. We hauled in all our supplies and our children on sleds. It was tiring, but lots of fun. The sledding up there was awesome...a little too good for the twins. They got scared and cold but it was so fun. The hill went on forever and twisted and turned. The only bad part was, that you had to climb back up the hill when you were done

The twins turn 2!!!

2010-02-18T19:56:00.000-08:00

I made the cake without a pattern. It was sunday and I totally forgot about making a cake. I didn't even have eggs or the right food coloring so Mickey's ears are actually brown. oops.

cousins eating cake

between christmas and their birthday, the twins were spoiled rotten. Jackson still thinks anything in a box is a "present for him"

The last few months

2009-08-24T20:05:00.000-07:00

This is my team from the wasatch back relay race (minus Kolbi). Together we ran 188 miles from logan to park city. ...It was so hard, and crazy and fun and I hated it and loved it all at the same time. I would do it again in a heart beat.

The kids with Grandma bishop and Nanie

The twins are little fish. They would swim all day if I let them. Jackson tries to find his swim suit every morning. These are the matching ones I found them on ebay....aren't they stinkin cute?

2009-08-01T02:00:00.000-07:00

So yesterday, I was running with the twins in the jogging stroller and Haley reached over and grabbed Jacksons hand. When Jackson let go she said "NO dack dack(Jack Jack)" and she grabbed his hand again. They held hands for quite a while which was so cute cause they haven't done that forever. Too bad I didn't have my camera. Then everytime Haley would see a dog, she would do the sign for Dog on Jacksons leg instead of her own.
Today, I heard the two of them laughing hysterically. I went in their room to see what was going on and they were taking turns tickling each other. When haley does that she says "tick a tick a tick". They were laughing so hard they could hardly breath.
Even though twins is hard, it is moments like these that make it so fun and worth the hard work. I would post pictures but I am at work so I will do it when I get home this weekend. Oh yea...thanks to my wonderful husband....He surprised me at work tonight with the twins and brought me cookies. He is so sweet!

San Diego and other random things

2009-05-27T21:15:00.000-07:00

Haley and Jackson got to touch the star fish at sea world, as long as they didn't take them out of the water......yea right. We had to restrain Jack cause he wanted to hold it the whole time.

Jackson laying on daddy's back while he films. He is the ultimate Daddy's boy.

Haley got a shiner when Jackson used her to steady himself while they went down the Deck stairs. She fell 3-4 steps.

Yea!!!!!!!!! we have a backyard. We layed sod 2 weeks ago. Thanks to all the wonderful friends who took the time to come and help us. You're the best.

Natural boogie boarders.

Jackson being goofy. He likes to make faces at me by pressing his face against the window.

Dude, it's been awhile

2009-05-26T21:25:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to write down some things for Haley and Jackson.

Haley folded her arms and said her first prayer tonight. Didn't understand a dang thing but it was awesome! Jackson noticed the moon for the first time today and I got him to say moon...he also said birds the other day. It was crazy cause there was still daylight and he still noticed it.

This past weekend we went to the Wrights house (my cousins) and saw cousins we had never seen in like 20 years! Crazy. Anyway this post is kind of boring but I wanted to make sure and write down what Jackson and Haley did.

Peace.

Jackson loved riding the scooter with his dad

One of haley's romps in the mud.

Jackson's first 4 wheeler ride.

The kids got a bubble maker for easter and they chase the bubbles all around.

Easter morning.

My little couch potatoes

Jackson climbed into our front loading washer and couldn't get out. He was like a little hamster just running around and around in the barrel. Poor guy.

Yea spring is here. We are so happy because Jackson and Haley are definantly outdoor babies. They would stay out all day if I let them and they look for any opportunity to sneak out. Jackson worked so hard he made a hole in the screen door and can now stick his hand through and use it to open it up. They are growing up so fast. Jackson seems to have a new found energy this week and goes from one thing to the next. He wore me out!!!!! He is so excited about everything he sees and makes the cutest little noises when he's happy and excited. He loves balls and got a play golf set for easter. He loves to hit the balls and occasionally his sister. Haley gets more "girly" by the day. She loves her tutu and her purse and pretty clothes. She is so pleasant and happy all the time. She is my little helper and throws everything away and gets stuff when I need it. I am amazed at how much she understands when I tell her things. She is so busy all the time. I don't think her legs ever stop moving. She has discovered a mud hole that is created everytime it rains in our flower bed and she has jumped in more than once and one time even face planted in it.
We hopefully get to put sod in our back yard this week and we have planted a garden. That's a first for us both so we will see if either of us have a green thumb. I am continuing to train for the wasatch back relay race which is June 19th. It is a 187 mile relay race that I am doing with 12 girls we go from Logan to Park city. I am starting to question my sanity everytime I wake up at 5am to run or train on yet another long hill.....ouch.

Double trouble

2009-03-24T01:03:00.000-07:00

So I meant to write a little bit with those pictures I posted a few days ago, but life has been crazy. We drove down to AZ because Neil's Grandma Bryce passed away 3 weeks ago. I decided it is worth every penny to fly because the twins did not enjoy the trip. While there, Jackson, Haley and then Neil developed the stomach flu. I chaufered 3 sick kids home with all of them throwing up in the back seat...YUCK! Once the illness cleared up, we noticed Jackson still wasn't feeling better. Then his stomach swelled up HUGE and was rock hard. We took him to the doctor and he had developed something called an illeus where the bowel gets paralyzed and that whole peristalsis thing doesn't happen so nothing passes very well. We had to put him on clear liquids for 3-4 days (Haley had to be on it too. to get over her illness) The poor kids thought we were starving them to death, but Jackson has finally gotten better and we didn't have to take anymore drastic measures.
Anyways, some funny kid stories, a few weeks ago, I found jackson crying and his hand was stuck to a super glue tube. I realized he had chewed through the tube and his mouth and face was coated in super glue. After a major freak out and a quick call to poison control, I learned that it isn't toxic. So he just looked goofy for a few days while it slowly wore off. Oh yea, he accidently glued his lower lip to his chin when he sucked his thumb to comfort himself so he couldn't shut his mouth.
Haley is such a girl!!!! My mom gave her a purse and she loves it. She has it on all the time and walks around with her arm straight up in the air so it won't fall off. She is "talking" a ton, she constantly jabbers and has now said her first sentence "here ya go". The other day we heard Jackson screaming and went into the laundry room, he had climbed into our front loading washer and couldn't get out, he kept trying but his efforts kept spinning it like a hamster in a cage. Haley was so excited. She finally had her chance for revenge for all the times he teased her. She kept trying to shut the door on him. Guess thats one more room off limits to them.
Jackson is Neil's little clone. He is such a tease and takes great enjoyment out of hearing his sister scream. The other day He was supposed to be napping, I heard a noise and went into check. From the confines of his crib, He had quietly opened and emptied out 2 drawers of clothes all over, when he saw me, he dropped down, started sucking his thumb and pretended to be asleep... Where do they learn these things. Anyway, I could tell stories all day, but since I don't write often that would just get long and boring so I will stop here:)

Haley runs around in her towel after her bath and jackson tries to chase
her and pull the towel off her head

Neil went Ice fishing, and wondered weather it was still fun in one degree weather

Is that frost bite on his nose?

Haley is getting very independent and wants to feed herself

This is what she looks like when she's done feeding herself

The twins visited Great grandma Fawn

and Great grandpa Ross

Jackson loves the snow...about as much as dad does.

View from our back window

Haley and Jackson got this jungle gym for Christmas and they love it tons. They have learned to climb up and go down the slide.

Allright, this is Daddy, wanting to write to you twins again....the things I've seen you do.

Haley, WoW! You continue to progress so fast.... Haley is now trying to help around the house. I was changing Jackson's diaper and she helped me! She is very service oriented. Today when I got my coat on, she went and brought over one of my shoes! She likes to clean the floor.....today she and Jackson helped me sweep the floor. Haley plays peek-aboo and blows kisses to every boy she sees. She can also fold her arms when it's time to pray, all by herself! Haley is always smiling and happy.

Jackson, DUDE. this guy..... he continues to have love for music. When music is on he will sway back and forth to it. When I humm a certain tune, he will hum back the same thing exactly on tune.....it's crazy!! Also, the big thing dad is proud of is that he raises his arms up in the air when you say, 'Touch-down!!' Mom taught it to him. Jackson laughs a lot. He has a loud happy laugh and a big happy smile.

Another thing is both of you guys want to be involved when me or mom are cooking. So we usually give them a bowl and spoon...and they play like they are stirring something.

Thanks you guys for bringing so much joy into our lives. You are a lot of fun.

ohh yeaa, I forgot to mention. Haley at the ward party (chili cook-off), I was watching her in the nursery and she fell on a toy helecopter, hit her in the eye....anyway I was comforting her, and she threw up all over me. Thanks Haley. Love you too! :)

TIME FOR NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS (I CALL THEM PLANNING MY VACATIONS FOR THE YEAR)

2009-01-11T19:55:00.000-08:00

Don't worry Haley isn't bleeding. ...that is the aftermath of eating her birthday cake.

I was excited to plan out my New Years Resolutions this year.....

They are go to Moab, Lake Powell, and Bear Lake to camp. And visit Arizona, and California. These are my goals.

Also, I am doing a couple tri-athlons this year to keep me in shape.....It's a way to force myself to excercise. Also, its a fun challenge. I will be working out 6 days a week.....Michelle likes this idea, she likes it when I excercise, it gets me out of the house. By the way I never learned how to spell excercise so deal with it.

Dude, check this out next Saturday I am going Ice fishing with Michelle. We will have to get you photos of that when that happens.

You, know, I have figured something out about life..... life is to short to work. So, I am going to play as hard as I can. It was fun having family night tonight and planning all the crazy stuff we are going to do. If you plan it and write it on a calendar it seems more likely to happen.

by the way, if any of you want to visit us feel free. We live right by the lake (2min 20 sec to be exact).
Here are some more pictures of us in Arizona

They wanted EVERYTHING xrayed at security so Neil tried to send the twins
Haley really liked her cousins new bunny

Haley loves her tutu and acts like a princess in it

News with Haley and Jackson:

Haley has learned to scrunch her nose when she smiles...... and she know's when she gets her picture taken. She strikes a funny pose when we try to take a picture. Also, she loves the tu-tu she got for Christmas. On her first b-day she decided that walking wasn't that bad after all...Now she's off to the races! Makes it more difficult when I am trying to get a diaper on her. She has quite the personality.

Jackson is walking more and more every day. He watched Planet Earth with me today. and gasped with excitement when the polar bear tried to eat the seal. Its funny watching him watch tv at such a young age. Educational of course, football and the discovery channel

Haley and Jackson turned 1 on Jan 3rd....crazy how time flies. We had a couple of birthday parties for them. They got spoiled rotten, (Thanks to everybody). Jackson loved the t-ball set and the train. Haley just loved all the attention and the fact she got to dive into the cake herself. We had to have the birthday at Michelle's mom's house because when we returned home from Arizona, we found 12 inches of snow and a furnace that went out. Luckily no pipes froze.

They each got their own winnie the pooh cake
Jacksons new tractor
One of Haley's many funny faces for the camera
The birthday kids....Grandpa has the same birthday.

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

2008-11-16T19:16:00.000-08:00

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

2008-10-12T21:51:00.000-07:00

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.

2008-09-15T01:30:00.000-07:00

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.

2008-07-16T21:44:00.000-07:00

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.

Here are some more pictures of the twins. I am not sure if I should post the one of neil holding them upside down. You would think it borders on child abuse but the twins love it. They are getting so cute. They are smiling and laughing and interacting so much more. They are so aware of their surroundings which is making it a little harder because now they know when I leave the room or if I am not paying attention to them and they are not afraid to express there disapproval. Some days I feel like one or the other is crying every second of the day. In fact I think they plan it. Then it is so much fun when they both start in together. Two kids together yell 10x louder than just one. I am not sure how that works but it does. Just when i am at the end of my rope, they smile or laugh and it makes it all better. It is fun to have all these experiences with them. Haley and I did pedicures the other day... I am training her right. Jackson had his first experience in the jump a roo, as you can see he was more interested in sucking on it then jumping. The thing that warms my heart is to watch the connection they have. They now watch each other. and whenever they are laying by each other they hold hands (as you can see in the picture.) Man they are fun!

you gotta watch this video....yes I know it's sideways, just turn your head:)

Just wanted to post some fun pictures of stuff we have been doing. There really isn't any paticular theme. Neil and my nephews had a sleep over and did fake tatoos. We also took our family to the salt lake temple during conference and took the family picture. The other one is of us by the lake that is like 5 blocks from our house. We love living out here. (even though I didn't think I would.) It is fun to kind of live out of the city. We are spending most of our free time on putting in a back yard and making the front more presentable. It is so nice to have a place to call our own and make it a home. We are loving it.

2008-05-13T16:48:00.000-07:00

Jackson has decided in the last few weeks that he no longer wants to use the bottle to eat. He just wants to nurse. No one saw thatcoming since it was a HUGE trauma to get him nurse in the beginning. I just can''t figure out where he gets his stubborn streak and temper from. Anyways we started them on cereal this week so that Dadcould feed them while I was at work. Jackson wasn't exactly happy and held his mouth open with the food in it for a good few minutes. He wasn't quite sure what to do. Haley loved it and laughed and smiled the whole time although I don't think she ever swallowed any> It just kept coming back out when she laughed.

Jackson still likes to suck haley's thumb....or arm or whatever he can get ahold of. He did finally learn how to suck his own thumb though

Okay so I am still behind. In March we made a trip to Arizona. The twins went on their first plane ride. They were really good on the plane. They didn't cry but they did hold are fingers pretty tight with slightly nervous looks on their faces. We took them to spring training Chicago cubs game. GO CUBS! The twins also had a new cousin born while we were there, Braden Bryce. And they got to meet their other new cousin Luke, who was born 3 weeks before. They also got to meet their Grandpa bryce for the first time. It was love at first sight! They met lots of aunts and uncles and cousins and their great grandparents on the bryce side. We miss all you guys!

DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!

JACKSON DOES PUSHUPS!!!!!!!
WOW!!!! How life changes. I went from being single and traveling the world, to being cooped up in a house with two little babies......and I wouldn't change it for the world! Just when I think I have the twin routine down one or the other gets a mind of their own and changes things up.

THINGS I HAVE LEARNED

I can go through a JUMBO pack of diapers in 2 1/2 days!!
A Sleeping baby knows exactly when you lay your head down on the pillow
New born diapers really do stink!
Baby swings are a life saver
Moms and Mother-in-laws ROCK......THANKS SO MUCH.....they really do know best.
Babies can poop through every outfit that they own in one day (ahhhhh Laundry!)
JACKSON AND HALEY ARE THE CUTEST KIDS ON EARTH.

I love it when they fall asleep on my chest and make little humming noises when they sleep. I love dancing with them and their dad at night in the living room. I love that Haley watches the Jazz games with me.

Pretty much I just love being a mom.

WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!

WELP Life sure has been different with twins around. They keep you hopping.

I enjoy my time with Jackson and Haley early in the morning when I get to take care of them. I love spending quiet time with them.

I chuckled and smiled at Jackson and he smiled and laughed back...that made my day.

And, I talked to Haley and she smiled back at me. It's crazy how just a smile makes you happy.

Its seems once you get once settled down, then the other one wakes up......so it's constant juggling.

I can't wait till I can play with my kids....and they can talk and are potty trained.

DAD

4 generations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
