geez, indy was just a baby the last time i posted. he's not really a baby any more. (and i don't have any pictures to prove it) jason moved all of our pictures on to a hard drive and i don't know where to find them any more. i will figure it out and post pictures!

my boys are getting big. we had such a fun christmas. they were so funny. drew was excited to open up any present and indy was excited to get his hands on anything drew opened (sheets and all. indy HAD to have them). we all got spoiled by the grandparents. i'm still trying to figure out where to put everything.

jason took drew skiing for the first time and drew LOVED it! jas said he was really good. jason told me that on the lift they were talking and out of the blue drew said, "ok daddy, let's have quiet time now." he makes us laugh everyday.

indy is all over the place. he thinks he is one of the big boys and tags along drew and daddy everywhere. he also leaves a trail everywhere he goes. i've never met a messier kid(ok well maybe one....) i have a feeling he can't stand having a clean house! it is alot of fun. people ask me if i want a little girl and of course i would be thrilled to have one (but also scared to death i might get a mini me) but i also love having a house full of boys. i love my boys and am so thankful that i am their mom. i love that jason works so hard so i can stay home with them. this is a boring post, i know, but for some reason i just felt the need to write! i will post pictures soon.

i love this little boy a whole lot, however,

things like this are getting old real fast! and no he doesn't have a diaper on. isn't that a fun little trick he's learned?(to pull his own diaper off) especially since he's been averaging about 5 messy diapers a day which is also getting old very fast.

this little guy is still as sweet as ever. he's such a good boy! (so is indy. he's just going through a stage.................... right???)

i know these posts without pictures are kindof boing for everybody else but i only have minutes before indy wakes up and just wanted to write down a few cute things that i didn't want to forget.

today drew was in the kitchen and he said, "ah, i have to go potty and i want to watch my cartoon! this is the worst day ever!" jas and i thought that was so funny! drama!

sue: (jason's mom) "jason! move your butt!!"
drew: "GRANDMA! we don't say that!!! that makes Heavenly Father so sad! do you want to make Heavenly Father sad? we don't say that! (similar incident at his cousin's birthday party. what to do.......:)) and side note, we didn't teach him that!


Drew: "mommy, can i watch a cartoon?"
me: "nope, not during breakfast."
drew: "ahhh, mommy my tummy really wants to watch a cartoon"
me: "well my tummy says no"
drew:....................................................."my tummy doesn't really like your tummy"

i found this conversation so funny in so many ways! i don't know how or why our tummy's started talking to each other. but when drew is around, anything can happen.

i will write a real post soon, with pictures. i just find drew to be so funny and didn't want to forget these cute little things he's been saying!

some days are good days, some are not. today is not!

we have had a crazy few months. i feel like the dr.'s office and the hospital are my second home now! it all started in march.......
march: indy has rsv. we take him to the hospital 4x a day for treatments for the next 7 days.
a few colds and earaches between the 2 boys
april: dr says indy has rsv again! i'm not buying it. i felt something else was wrong. i start the detective work with a couple more dr. appointments that month.
may. i go to the dermatologist and my moles have come back as precancerous so she's not checking my moles anymore we're just going to remove ALL of them! fun starts october. i'm still going regularly to the dr.'s to figure out what's wrong with indy.
june: we go to allergist. they find out indy is allergic to grass and has severe asthma. we have to keep him inside for 2 weeks! fun.........
a couple follow ups with the allergist.
late night visit for another ear infection
drew gets a highly contagious eye infection that goes behind the brain and can cause blindness or brain damage!
indy gets the highly contagious eye infection that goes behind the brain and can cause blindness or brain damage!
and to top off june, jason has been rushed to the ER 2 times and spent a few nights in the hospital for viral menangitis! he came home sunday but was back on tuesday night. his white blood count was 5 times the amount it was in the morning. the doctors don't really know what is going on so i guess we will see. the kids and i are staying at my parents and it has just been crazy! it looks like so far june has taken all the months!

if this blog sounds like i am trying to get sympathy, I AM!! FEEL SORRY FOR ME! just kidding. kind of..... :) i am so sick of the doctors and hospital and sick kids and sick husbands and moles! but we have had so much love and support from everybody. so thank you!

highlights of my weekend

i decided to have an awesome weekend with jason gone. and we did! here are the highlights.

FRIDAY

*we got the go ahead from the doctor that indy could go outside again. that alone made my week!

*friday morning drew slept until 9:45! indy slept til 7:00! i slept til 7:01!

*my dad stopping by. i love my dad so much and it makes my day when he comes over to say hi. my kids love him too!

*mare and i went to the gateway. it was so much fun! drew had a blast in the water fountains but once that music started there was no stopping drew! that kid has moves! we did some shopping and went to the new movie "Up". who needs husbands when you have their credit card. right? oh i love my sister!

*the boys sitting through the entire show. indy actually slept the whole time!!!

* going over for dinner at jake and jana's. jana made the best homemade pizza i have seriously ever had! thanks again!

SATURDAY

*going to the petting zoo with my mother- in- law and nephew. they got to ride horses, hold baby lambs, and feed all the animals. they loved it!

* my dear dear friend ann came over and we caught up on the last few years. i could talk to her for hours!

*having a pizza party with our cute little neighbors. drew and trey are best little buddies.

*the boys asleep by 7:30pm.

*jason coming home. :)

NOT HIGHLIGHTS OF MY WEEKEND!!!!

*finding the toothbrush i use to clean my floors (around the toilet!!) by indy's toys. i know there is no way it got there without going in his mouth. AHHH!

*doing this.

*teenagers out of school for the summer.

other than those 3 things we had a great weekend. the best part of it though was when jason came home! we missed him!

after thinking about giving up my blog a friend of mine mentioned she uses her blog as a journal since she doesn't really have time to keep one up. she prints it at the end of each year and i thought that was a great idea. so i'm thinking i might start putting a little more time and effort into my blog.

something else i've been thinking about, anytime jason goes out of town or works late i tend to pout the whole time he's gone. (i know shocking, right? :)) so this weekend while he is gone, instead of staying home, doing the same thing i do everyday i'm going to take the kids out and have an awesome weekend! (spending all his money!) anybody want to join me? :)

it has been forever since my last post and i'm kind of thinking this whole blogging thing isn't so much for me. i love reading others and hearing what everyone is up to but i really don't seem to have the time or motivation to keep up on mine! but as long as i'm signed in and posting i'll do a little catch up.

last month i woke up on a saturday morning and said, "jason! let's go to disneyland!" he said, "ok" so we left sunday morning at 5:00a.m. for a week. it was so much fun. even though it was spur of the moment i think it was one of the best vacations i've ever been on. i don't think i've ever laughed so much, slept so little, and enjoyed my family as much as i did. it was really such a good time and we were able to create so many memories. drew was so much fun. he would not walk, he would dance down the streets. his favorite ride was splash mountain and we went on it 20+ times on our last day. no lines! i think it may have been a little rough on indy but for the most part he did really good. we can't wait to go back!

jason and drew have started to go fishing saturday mornings. it is so cute to watch them get ready and see them bonding through this. jason is such a good dad. we have gone fishing a couple times as a family this year. it's so much fun!

indy is growing so fast. too fast. i heard both boys crying in the other room the other day so i automatically yelled out "drew! be nice!" but when i went in, indy was on top of drew grabbing at him. they definetely keep me busy but jas and i love every minute of it. (besides the fact that indy has decided he is just too cute to sleep at night or take naps)

we are loving this spring weather and looking forward to all the bbq's, family parties, and camping trips coming our way! (and 2 new babies! wait not me, marilyn and kelly)

mother of the year

Drew: "mommy i'm a little tired. i think i need to take a nap."

Me: "ok buddy i'll tuck you in"

Drew: "well i need to clean up my toys first"

Me: .................................................................

found a cure.

i think i found a cure for RSV. one minute he is miserable so i give him this.

next thing i know he's as happy as can be! it sprouts teeth too!

Poor little guy

my sweet little indy is so sick. this weekend he started to get a little cough. we weren't too concerned though because there was no fever. on sunday we were having a bbq at our house and indy still had a little cough so we decided to call everyone and tell them so they could decide if they still wanted to come. right as everybody started showing up we noticed him getting a fever so i decided to run him into instacare. turns out he has RSV. they gave him oxygen and a breathing treatment. it has been such a miserable couple of days. it's a nasty little bug. we take him to the hospital several times a day for treatments and he hates it. he is normally the happiest little guy but he has been crying 24/7. i feel so bad for him. hopefully the worse is over. i can't wait to see this sweet smile back on his face.

valentines

for valentines we went rock climbing with the boys. it was way fun. drew was a little nervous, but i think a few more tries and he'll love it.

then we hosted a friendly game of texas holdem. it was a blast although i'm out a big$5. grrr. dang martinez's.

our remodel is almost done. we need to do cabinets and finish countertops and decorate. this is what it's looking like so far

then, how cute is he?

i think i'm in love.

valentines

Just for you J-Dog

all before 10:00 am

cute.
Drew: "mommy, i need to tell you something.
Me: "ok"
Drew: "i love you. you are my best friend."
Me: ahhhh

not so cute.
Drew: "mommy i'm so sorry i just peed on the new carpet."
Me: "drew, why did you do that?"
Drew: "sorry sweet honey"
(i have never called drew sweet honey or heard anyone call him that!)

cute.
making valentines....
Me: "drew, what do you want to talk about?"
Drew: "hmmm. will you tell me a story about jesus?"
Me: ahhhh

my boys

i love my boys. i can't believe how lucky i am to have them. jason surprised me for my birthday with a little get away with the kids. it was so much fun. heaven! (besides being pooped on and stepping in someone's throw up) it really was so much fun. drew invited everybody we talked to to come to our hotel room for a party. hmmm.....could this be an insight to his teenage years? hope not. everyday i am reminded of how blessed i am to have all of them in my life. besides my birthday we have been doing a remodel and am happy to say we are about 80% done! it has been a long few weeks. when we are done you are all invited to come to our house for a party! (drew has rubbed off on me)
