The Kids



I think I have two of the best kids around. And I love how great Ceaven is with Bryn he loves her so much and helps me with her all the time. I am truly blessed.

Caeven's first love


Caeven has a first love and her name is Gabbi, if they had it their way they would be together everyday. I think I may be in trouble with these two, Gabbi went to church and told everyone that when she grows up she gonna be a mommy and Caeven will be the daddy...kinda worried, she says jump and Caeven says how high.

Brynlee's Blessing

We are so blessed to have this little girl in our family she is such a great baby.
No idea what is with that face.
I have the most talented mother in the world. She made the blessing dress and I love it. So thanks mom. I only wish I was that good at sewing.
One day I will get a picture with the whole family happy.

Chris' 5k-Veteran's Day Run @ USAA



This was my first 5k ever and 1st time running in like 3-4 yrs. I must say I'm proud of myself 1 for doing it and 2 getting it done in under 35 mins even with the extra distance and pushing Caeven along in the Chariot-which pushed like a dream! Now I just gotta keep this trend going.

Our little Man and his Accomplishments



Ok, so if you know Caeven them you know his little personality is oozing with creativity and craziness that is beyond entertaining. This was Dec 1st, Brynlee was about 6 days old and Caeven was having his dance party in the chosen attire. One thing that is different now is that the diaper you see creeping out of his pants will no longer be creepin', cuz CAEVEN IS POTTY TRAINED!!! He did so well while I was off work for 3 weeks back when Brynlee was born. He got the peeing part pretty quick but it took some talking to to get him "in control" of his poo poo. So as of Dec 12th little man is potty trained and has had only 1 accident at Grammy's cuz he couldn't get there fast enough. Way to go Buddy!

All Over the Place

Hey All, so with all the social media sites and everything going on lately it's been a little challenging to keep the blog updated. With that said we may have some posts that are all over the place and may not be so much in chronological order but we hope you still enjoy!

It's been a bit...now Brynlee is here!!!

This is Brynlee Rochelle Riggs, our newest addition. Born 11/24/2010 @ 10:13 AM, 7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long.




Excited Big Brother

She has quite a bit of crazy Blonde hair

Proud Dad!!!

Beautiful Mom and Baby!!!

How it all started:


Brittney woke up at 5:19 AM with contractions and woke me up at 5:40 AM letting me know this had to be it, the "real ones" could no longer be ignored! After showers and Grammy picking up Caeven we were finally off to the hospital. Got in at 6:45 ish and Britt's contractions continued to get stronger and closer together. After getting into the triage rooms the nurse checked Britt...only 3.5 cm 80% efaced...she said this would be an observation for the next hour to see if she was really in labor and then likely Britt would be going back home. WHAT!!!! After the nurse had left Britt said if they try that she will just go sit in the lobby and wait because she knew these were real! After a bit the nurse came back right as Britt was having another contraction and said, "you have the saddest hurt face I have ever seen, I'm going to go check on some things and then I'll come back and check you again in about 20 mins." By this time Britt was to 4 cm and a half hr had passed by I think. The nurse came back and said we're going to go ahead and admit you and gave her some fentanyl and the pains were curbed slightly. At about 8:17 AM we got into the birthing room and the epidural was in at about 8:42 AM and she was 5 cm. Britt's parents rolled just befire 9 and my mom came to the hospital with Caeven shortly after. Britt's Dr came in to check on her about that time and told us she'd be back in a bit. 10 AM rolled around Dr came back to check, sent Britt's dad and Caeven out, Dr broke Britt's water and said she was at 8-9 cm and if Britt felt like she had to push call her back in Brynlee's head was right there. Not more than 5 mins passed and the Dr was back in...3 contractions later @ 10:13 AM Brynlee was out in the world. We are so blessed to have had such an event free pregnancy and delivery. We are blessed to have 2 of the most beautiful children ever!!!

Chris and Brittney's Halloween Costumes

WT Trucker
So Chris was going for Wolverine...close! Just need a little longer hair, thicker chops, claws more (much more) muscle...and a bajillion dollars! (comments by Chris)









Some Halloween Action

The Fam!

Wolverine and Sharkboy; Chris looked all over for claws and couldn't find any and ran out of time to make some.

Enjoying the fruits of his labor, nothing like a good sucker! We just love this kiddo and his lil BIG personality!


Caeven was checking to make sure he didn't have a hole in his bag...I think.

Halloween


The Spider on the left is ours, the bat was done by Kamee, and last one by Tim.

I did this one

Chris did this one


This is how Caeven decorates pumpkins. I tried hard to get him to help me clean out my pumpkin but he told me " thats pretty nasty mom, no thank you". So he stuck with the markers.


A little trunk or treating with Amanda and Grammy. He loved this part of the party he told everyone thank you after every piece of candy. He did get scared once but all in all a good time I think.




I love this face I have no idea what he is doing or looking at...a snack maybe?

My little shark, he was so cute. But I think he was a little to into it, half way through the ward party he was running around chasing the prinesses growling at them...he made one little girl cry. (couldn't get the photo to rotate)






Caeven wanted to help me decorate at my moms house. It turned into Caeven doing all the work he was so proud of what he had done. One of the things he filled with pine cones and the other he filled with pumpkins. The pumpkins had glitter all over them, which got all over Caeven and he walked around the rest of the day looking up and asking " where that light come from mommy".











Denver Museum
















They had a fish tank with this bubble in the middle that you could stand up in Caeven thougth that was pretty cool.





A giant Anaconda. He thought is was tough stuff for picking up a snake.







Caeven had so much fun at the Museum in Denver. He loved everything but we all know his favorite part was the dinosaur bones.
