Mama's bestest buddy!

Say cheese!!! Oh I love this little man!Kissy kissy!!
My little bug is turning in to quite the photographer! Thanks for catching my good side!

Just like daddy!

No, Matthew was not exercising! HA
He was just chillin so Jase was just chillin too!

Caught in the act!!

Busted!!!
It wasn't me!

This wasn't a tantrum or him trying to be naughty.....I guess he was just bored! Or he just couldn't decide which book to read, so he had to go through all of them!

The Zoo!

It has been a year since I last took Jase to the Zoo and I figured that I better get moving on it before it got too cold (though Jason was told it's best to go when it's rainy and cloudy outside b/c then more animals are out and about instead of hiding!) so we went on Monday for Labor Day! It was super busy but so much fun! We invited Jason, Rella, Jax & Joss to go with us. Matthew claims that the last time he went to the Zoo was when the elementary school packed his lunch! He had more fun than he will admit ;)
We rode the train first-Jase freaked out! He wasn't so thrilled when we first entered the park and putting him on that train made him mad but once it started moving, he liked it. Once we got to the monkeys, he really started enjoying himself. He thought they were really funny. He didn't care much for the elephant but when we got to the bear, he did his cute little BLAHHHH (his growl that he 'scares' us with)! It was super cute! At one point, I sat in the wagon with Jase and Matthew pulled us both up the big hill to the Giraffe's!! hehe The giraffe's are my favorite Zoo animal and there was the cutest little baby Giraffe just chillin there! Loves it! Then Jase got to ride the carousel. He had the most serious face on and refused to let me hold onto him but as soon as it stopped, he grinned. Rella sat with Jax and Joss just smiled and giggled the whole time! All in all, Jase did really well and we were super impressed with how good all 3 of the kids were. Can't wait to go back!!

Mommy & Jase weekend!

Matthew spent the weekend at Jason's house for his nerdy computer club day and Fantasy Football draft so it was just Jase and I! First of all, I went and got me a pedicure! Thanks Mommy Deary for the b-day certificate! It was fabulous and my toes are the cutest PINK ever! After that, Jase and I wanted to go to the park so we went home and got Harley and drove to the park but one of the play areas was just WAY too packed to have a 2 year old and a dog and the other was reserved. It was disappointing but we instead decided to rent some movies and get Panda Express and then went home and hung out. Boy was he a pill. I think he is transitioning out of naps and only takes them if he feels like it. He won't go down if I try to get him to but I will find him asleep on the couch or on my bed while watching a movie. Hopefully it will be easier to put him to bed since he won't be napping! Anyways! Sunday we went bowling with Oma. Jase took turns with me and he bowled 2 strikes!! He is a such a cutie! He LoVeD it! We will have to get him his own ball sooner or later ;) Love you Bug! Next time, don't make mommy ornery by throwing all your toys out of their bins just b/c you don't wanna nap though, okay?!!
Bowling with Mama!!

Studly!
We LoVe Mr. Potato Head around here....and our little potato head too!

Silly Boy!

I love my bug!!!

Playing on his bike!
I am Iron Man!
We love Mo! (Nemo)
Sticker Boy!!! He had them everywhere.....his forehead, cheeks, chest, arms, hands, legs, feet.....
....and tummy!!!

Oh here we are!!!

Hello!!

Okay, so I have been SuPeR busy lately with work and such that I have not had any time to blog at all. Well, Mom, I'm finally listening to you and I'm updating okay....well, kind of! I put together a short slide show of what we have been up to! It's not much but hey! I'll get back into my groove eventually!
July 24th we spent at my parent's house for a BBQ and fire works.
On August first, we all got together, including my cousins Em-C & Shrebe (Emily & Sarah) and went to Cowabunga Bay! It was tons of fun! I HATE hate HATE having water splashed in my face and that's all that happens at this place but I got over it ;) Jase spent most of his time with me in the little wading pool area but he did go on a couple of slides with me! He really had fun! After we finally got him buckled in the car, he was passed out 30 seconds later!
Matthew took me out for my Bday the weekend before my actual Bday and he surprised me with a couples massage! Mmmmm! It was so wonderful! I've had a few massages in my day but that one was by far the best that I have ever had! Brick House Square Retreat in Sandy is our favorite for massages, mani's and pedi's so check them out!! Then we went and ate at Friday's and went and saw Harry Potter. It was a great day!
Aug 12th was my 26th Bday! As always, I go to Bonsai (my favorite) and as always, a bunch of friends and family joined us! It was awesome!!
I have also been keeping up with my NextFit program!! We meet every Saturday and then do at least 3 keychain trainer programs on our own throughout the week. After 3 weeks, I had lost 4.2 lbs and we are now into week 5. I have been pretty proud of myself so far but have been slacking in the 'working out on my own' department and know that I can do better so hopefully I can get my butt in gear to make all this worth it!!
So that's it!! ...Until next time :)
