omgosh, help! NOSE ON FIRE!

eeek!! my nose is on fire. Stupid Jalapenos! I was cutting some jalapenos to make salsa with and then afterwards i wasnt thinking and rubbed my nose cuz it itched. and now my whole nose is burning!!! BURNING! with every breath i take. I feel kinda like a fire breathing dragon! CURSE YOU JALAPENO!!

What color is this??

What color are Jonas' eyes? we are so confused by it! haha.








Anyways, Jonas just turned 5 months recently (on the 12th) and he just reached a big milestone the other day. He rolled over for the first time!! He rolled from back to tummy and now he does it all the time! Also, another big milestone that mommy and daddy LOVE is that he has been sleeping for 8 hrs straight at night for a few weeks. We have now moved him into his own room. Yay!!

Endorphin Rush!!

Omgosh! I feel so great! wow! I just ran 2 miles in 20 minutes and then after that ran up and down the bleachers for the equivalent of another mile! I went with my dad, since he has been running 5k's lately. And i am desperate to lose this baby fatty belly!

get this people, this is the first time i have ran at all since i was in junior high! not to mention 2 miles in a row, i honestly dont think i have EVER done that. I've never enjoyed running. But it was pretty fun with my dad by me for support/competition and my music on the mp3 player. I feel so happy and so proud! I didnt even think i would be able to make through ONE mile without stopping for a break!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111

im on an endorphin rush tonight! yay!

me and my dad have decided that we will try and do this every sunday night. wish me luck! :)

p.s. i cant sleep

i hate my allergies so bad! this year has been such a horrible allergy season, i have felt like crap all this week! i cant get to sleep tonight cuz im so congested. good thing its a weekend and i can sleep in tomorrow if im still not too congested to breathe. Anyone know a place where allergies dont exist? As long as its not Texas or Middle Earth, im good on moving there. like now. k bye.

Yellowstone and teething baby.

We went to yellowstone over the weekend with Nicks mom and step dad. They have a condo up there and it was way nice. It was the first time i have ever been to yellowstone. We saw lots of really cool stuff, and tons of animals, but you have to drive sooo much! i think it would probably be more enjoyable going to yellowstone without a small baby. He got onery alot... because he just started teething. yikes! anyways, here is a link to all my yellowstone pics: click here.

here are a few of my favorite pictures:





me and jonas taking a break from a long hike. phew!


Jonas went swimming for the first time up at the condo. He had a good time and he looked sooo cute in his little man board shorts.









Here is a video of jonas playing with his Yellowstone bear He loves it!

Jonas turned 4 months old while we were up in yellowstone and on monday I took him to his 4 month appt at the doctors. He is 18lbs 10oz and 27 inches long!! eek! BIG BOY! :)

He is a talker!

this boy LOVES to talk! he has so much to say! lol.

Happy Fathers Day!

Yesterday we went to a new south ogden park for an early fathers day get together with my side of the family, it was fun!











We also went and visited Grandma Kaser. She just LOVES to see her great grandbaby Jonas!

Jonas was such a good boy today. i guess that was his gift to nick :) we got some awesome awesome pics of him smiling big! finally! yay!











We had an awesome fathers day! Hope everyone else did too!

What is it with me and birds?

What with the bird that got into my house (see earlier blog)and now at work. We have baby birds living above our heads in the ceiling! All we have for a ceiling here are those thin square tile thingys that pop out. We hear the birds squawking all the time for food.. and now, we can see poo!! omgosh, i swear, pretty soon, the ceiling tile will be so saturated with poo, that it will eventually just cave in.

Let us all pray that i am not at work on the day that that happens.

Summer is here, finally!! :)

Yesterday was an awesome sunny day! Me and Jonas hung out in the grass outside while nick was busy cleaning the patio ( a BIG job, for anyone who has seen our patio!! I have a great husband, i know. :) It was fun being outside and jonas really liked looking at the sky and around at things.

My Belly Cast is completed!!

Can you see the difference? lol. Im so happy i finally finished the belly cast! I was having painters block for the last 6 weeks... and then one night and i just sat down and started painting with no specific idea in mind and couple hours later... voila! ;) im excited to get it hung up on the wall!

Jonas on his new bouncer

He doesnt really fit in it very well yet, but he still loves it!! he is so strong!

2 month old Jonas cuteness!

Jonas is exactly 2 months old tomorrow on the 12th of may. He has been such a good baby lately... smiling and cooing.. being sooo cute. I swear i owe it all to the formula. Anyways, it took a while, but we finally caught Jonas' cuteness on video!!


Jonas is talking in this one and being happy!! It took a million tries to finally get it on video, every other time i would try he would stop being all cute the second i held the camera up. lol.


This was one of the first attempts to get him talking on camera.... i ended up getting something completely different. lol.




Happy Mothers Day everyone! :)

Current Events

So, i got a call from the Relief society president last night. Apparently, they think im inactive now or something. They KNOW i just had a baby... anyways, now they are stopping by to visit me? im not quite sure why. I told her i would be back in Relief society as soon as jonas starts to maybe sleep at night. lol. but i think this visit is just her excuse to come to the house and see the baby and comiserate with me and tell me stories of when she was a young mother. Oh what fun! :p

Yesterday was my first day back at work... I'm only going back part time so i only have to work 2 days a week in the office for 5 hours. It went surprisingly well. Natalie (nicks sister) babysat Jonas and she said he was really good for her. yay! :) Work was great, everyone missed me. (awwwww.... ) It kinda felt like i never left, and gosh it felt SO good to get out of the house! and call me a bad mother or whatever, but omgosh, it was sooo nice to get a break from jonas for a few hours! i havent had that since he was born because he likes to breastfeed every 2 hours!!

Speaking of Jonas, I think he's starting to smile. i have the hardest time distinguishing if he is "really" smiling or if its just a gas smile. Probably because he has more gas than iraq. ( lol at my political joke) he is the gassiest baby ever. So the other day i was talking to him and smiling and he smiles at me and i was like "WOO HOO!!" and then like two seconds later he lets out a huge fart! whats a mom supposed to think? oh well, it was a cute smile regardless.

oh! ive started water aerobics again!! yay! i just hope it give me a waist again! i want my old waist back! right now its almost the same size as my hips.. eek!

We have birds in our house!!

omgosh! i saw a beak!!! ahh! birds got into our ceiling area from our dryer vent and from there they got into furnace room! I saw a BEAK from the crack under the door! We dont know what to do.. we dont know how to get the bird(s) out without them flying around the house going nuts. We are probably gonna have to let them or it die inside our house!! eeeek! Its so freaky hearing the bird walking around the ceiling around us and hes flapping his wings and hitting against the furnace door right now! ahh! its freaking me OUT!!

Why to not listen to your Dad's Baby Tips...

So i called my house today to talk to my mom about Jonas' diaper rash. It doesnt seem to be clearing up at all. My mom wasnt there, so i ended up talking to my dad instead. My Dad's advice was to let the rash "air dry" for a few minutes. I was worried about Jonas peeing/poohing on me in those few minutes, but my dad reassured me with a laugh... in my mind the laugh meant that it probably wouldnt happen and that i was a worrywart. Looking back, maybe he was laughing cuz he knew what most likely would happen, i dont know. So anyways, i get off the phone and change Jonas' diaper, i decided i would take off the diaper for just a minute and kind of fan the area in hopes that it would give it the most amount of air in the least amount of time. I even stuck some toilet paper underneath him in case he poo'ed.

WELLLLLLL.... he didnt poo. Instead, im being pelted with pee, i didnt even realize what was going on at first and then when i did, my immediate reaction was to step out of the line of fire (cuz, EW, PEE!) but now, i wish i hadnt, cuz when i moved, his stream of pee reached the bed!!! and it got all over the changing table! EWWWWW! so i undress him and run him over to the bathroom and stick him in his tub. He is screaming at this point of course. I get undressed as well so that i can bathe him while i shower. It was definitely the least relaxing shower i have ever taken... he screamed when i didnt give him every ounce of attention and all the warm water. lol. So, we are both showered and bathed, part of the reason why he is screaming is because he is hungry (poor kid, i only fed him 2 hrs ago! :p )
Anyways, so i hurry and grab a towel for him and wrap him all up and i go to the bedroom to feed him.. well right before i get him latched on, i realize that he has just poo'ed in the towel! GRRREAT! After i get a diaper on him and feed him, he decides that peeing and pooing on me isnt enough and he spits up all over me! What a fun afternoon. Now the baby is content and I am doing about a billion loads of laundry. If anyone is keeping track, the score tally is Jonas: 3, Brenda: 0.

Thanks Dad for the awesome tip!!!

p.s. this is NOT an april fools joke. or maybe it was jonas' attempt on me..... either way, not funny dad and jonas! i know you were in on it together!
