Just another Jonas post! :)

I'm sorry but my kid just does too many cute things... so i post post post. heehee.

Here is Jonas doing his latest "skill"



Mr. Fire Hair. hehe. my little spikey man.



he can pull himself up now!! look at my BIG boy!! :)

"so delighted to see you!"




okay, done picture whoring now. ;)

i just found these!!!

haha. i just found these pics on my other memory card. i had forgotten about them. we were trying our halloween wigs on jonas. he was having a blast, it was hilarious! ha.


and well, this picture is just cute. awwww :)

8 months!!

and he is crawling!! woo hoo! it is so fun to watch him crawl to a toy that he wants. He isnt a huge pro yet, so he hasnt really been getting into everything, though im sure that will be coming very soon. I need to buy some baby gates! The other day he did dump out my basket that sits by my computer and has ALL my cords and gadgets in it. lol. he was playing in it. I didnt really mind, i thought it was cute. I guess the first time for everything is cute. lol.

and i'll add a picture just for good measure.
nick took this like 2 days ago. jonas wearing nicks glasses... its freakin hilarious!

So, i was at the store...

I ran to the store last night to grab a couple items for my latest experiment in the kitchen (i am kind of a mad scientist when it comes to recipes). Anywho, im standing in the "quick express" line with a couple people in front of me. There were two girls and a guy in front of me. The two girls were using food stamps (to buy cheetos and pop, i might add) and it was taking a ridiculous amount of time to ring them up, i almost switched lines. And so we are all waiting and they start talking to the guy that is in front of me.. and they know him i think. They are all like "so did you vote today?" and hes like "yeah." they ask, "who did you vote for?" (kind of a rude question to ask, i was surprised as i was listening in.) he said that he voted for obama. and they seemed cool with it. and then he asked them if they voted and they were like "oh, no. we didnt. we dont really care. " and then the other girl pipes in, "yeah, im not even registered. who cares?"

WHO CARES?? ME! thats who! here they are living off of the government and they could care less about it. im so glad that my tax dollars could buy them cheetos, some pop, and such gratitude.

too bad ron paul didnt get elected. we wouldnt have to put up with any of this monkey business.

Mad Scientists and our experiment gone wrong!

Us and our little experiment!! he was supposed to be a child, but we got a bear instead. oh well, at least we got a cute bear! :)

Jonas with Aunt Natalie and Cousin Kenzie.

fun fall time!!

We had a fun time enjoying the fall weather and fall colors at the parkway last week! I love this weather and these colors.. it is so beautiful! I am so happy that we still got some fall even though we had that crazy snow storm so early.

Jonas is 7.5 months old now!! What a little ham! He is getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth! he scoots backwards all the time... it is only a matter of time until he figures out how to go forward. It is so fun watching him figure it out and do new things! :) I think he is also cutting in a couple new teeth, the ones next to his top teeth (just like lindzi, jo!)

Today was SUCH A NICE DAY!! Woo hoooooooo!! i love it! im trying to enjoy it while i still can. what for like 2 more days? lol! Me and Jonas went on a super long stroll and he was a good boy! and then we rested in the yard after our hike (see above pics) and Jonas was so happy! Also, he LOVES the grass! haha.. he always starts out on his blankie and then ends up in the grass. He loves to feel it with his hands. Its so cute.... he takes after his momma. i love the grass too! nick, unfortunately, does not. haha!

SNOW!!!!!

omgosh, i cannot believe the SNOW today!!!! its insane! today also happens to be Jonas' 7 month birthday. He is starting to scoot! he scoots backward right now and he also gets on all fours and rocks back and forth. Its scary, he may start crawling soon! ahhhh!

fun tummy time!

Jonas' latest fun way to spend tummy time. :)

6 month photoshop and miserable colds!!

I got Jonas the cutest new outfit for Fall and took these pics a couple weeks ago and just barely got to finishing the 8x10 i was working on. cuz now he is almost 7 months. haha. but he looks like such a little man in that outfit!! growing up so fast already! crazy!

anyways, we both recently caught a cold from nick (thanks hun! haha). It pretty much sucks. I havent had a cold in a long time... like a couple years. seriously! this is freakin misery! especially taking care of myself and Jonas!! ugh! luckily it hasnt affected him too badly yet, im hoping it doesnt get worse. Where are my Mom Superpowers??!! We are not supposed to get sick!! Am i the only one that had a mom that seemed to NEVER get sick? like even when half the kids in the house were sick! ahaha. i need those mom superpowers. do you think they sell them on ebay? or at smiths? food for thought.

Jonas and the Cat

I caught Oreo in a good mood today and so I got some good pictures of Jonas with her. Jonas really really likes Oreo alot, even if he's grumpy usually when he sees the cat he gets excited and makes some crazy sounds (which scares her away most of the time). But Oreo was really good today and let Jonas hold her for a few minutes.


Brenda says, "Hey people! Nick wrote this blog. congratulate him on his very first one :) oh! and check out jonas' teeth in pic #2!! "

# 1 reason to NEVER have kids!

The picture pretty much says it all.

















*pausing for shock value*













But i'll tell the story anyways. We were in the kitchen making dinner and Jonas was playing in his bouncer, when we came back into the living room, we walked in on that scene above you. probably one of the worst things ive ever seen in my life. I grabbed my camera to document this horrendous moment of history so that i could at least get satisfaction of humiliating jonas for the rest of his life for this. HE WAS BOUNCING IN IT!!! omgosh omgosh omgosh, i was like hyperventalating. "nick! nick! nick! what do we do? what do we do??" hahahaha. so gross.

But, I think what happened was he poohed and then bounced down on his bouncer hard enough that it shot out the side of his diaper and onesie!!!
i thought i had been through quite alot of crap ( pun intended) as far as new baby parenting went, but this takes the cake!

So, if you've never had fantasies of dredging through poo, then you probably should remain celibate for your entire life.


good news was that nick was able to get the stain out of the carpet. and i was able to clean jonas' feet about a million times over and finally get them poo-free! it was so hard to stay mad at the little guy though, he kept smiling and laughing... i guess he felt really great about relieving himself on the living room carpet. oh kids. what can ya do?

THE ROCKET SUMMER!!

Singing "So Much Love"



Singing in the middle of the crowd!!






me and nick went to The Rocket Summer concert at In the Venue in SLC last night. It was an awesome time. It made us feel like teenagers again. lol. The Rocket Summer did an AMAZING job. Bryce Avary is truly inspirational. I encourage all of you to give them a listen. He was soo amazing live. He came out into the crowd and sang a song acoustically... and then he crowd surfed back to the stage it was so cool. haha. My mom watched Jonas for us and we are so thankful for her doing that so that we could get out and feel young again :) It was a great belated birthday date!

My birthday and Jonas' Unbirthday!

 

 

 

 

Woo! Jonas is 6 months old and im now 24. I had an awesome bday party. and an AWESOME "cake". it was DARK chocolate covered strawberries! YUM! I got tons of great gifts for my bday. a wii fit from my hubby and gift cards and money and some sweet running shoes and steamer and tortilla presser and various other things. I'm spoiled! thanks to all the family that came!

Jonas is eating food now! he loves it! He has tried sweet potatoes, carrots and squash!

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!!
