Some people might wonder why I would do this

to the man I love.

The man who works so hard for us.

Who'd do anything to make me happy.

The father of my Children.

My friend.

My Husband.

Well, I don't really know why I'd do such a thing. It's just funny, I guess.

Today

2011-01-31T09:45:00.000-08:00

Today is one of those days, where I don't want to do anything.

Today I am letting the kids watch movies, and eat hot dogs.

Today I am going to eat a twix and a diet dr. pepper for lunch, and I'm not going to feel bad about it. I'm really excited.

Today I'm not going to make my bed. I just don't want to.

Today I have lost the hard drive, again. I'm not going to tell Jason.

I have this funny picture of Jason. I will share. Soon.

Today is just one of those days.

2010-09-27T12:54:00.000-07:00

This makes me laugh.

Really hard.

I love my Indy Bob.

cleaning with the boys

2010-03-30T18:46:00.000-07:00

i love to clean. especially when i have the house to myself. when i get to listen to something besides"kids fun 123" or disney music. (although i really do love disney music) when something i clean stays clean. i love the smell of a clean lemon fresh house. love it. my boys however do not. this has been a battle ever since drew was introduced to toys with a million little pieces. i have tried everything to try to get him to clean up. races. i always end up winning. weird. "the gobble monster" resulted in a terrified 3 year old who would not be left alone because a monster was coming in our house to eat his toys. (thanks mom!) threats. many many threats. the only thing that got me was a very upset little boy and an even more upset mommy. some of my ideas i thought were great. others i hope he never remembers and that i'll soon forget. but i found one that works. and it's genius. (yes, my head has gotten very big)

so the other day as i was going about my morning routine, i passed drew's room with toys everywhere. i called for drew to come and clean up. i got the usual response. out of nowhere it came to me.
"ok just clean up the toys you want to keep! "
drew comes running in. "mommy i want to keep ALL my toys!"
"ok well then just put away the ones you're keeping."
"ok mommy."
wait. what? within minutes his room was spotless. not a toy in sight. we haven't had a problem since.
and i fall asleep smiling. at last, i have out smarted a 4 year old.

2010-01-17T21:22:00.000-08:00

As promised, here are some pictures. Lots of pictures. I think these pictures really show my kids personalities. It is fun to see how 2 kids from the same parents are sooooo different! If I were to try and describe Drew the first thing that comes to mind is sweet. He is the sweetest little boy! He is so thoughtful and considerate. He is very creative, and artistic. He is cautious in everything he does. I do think he is a little perfectionist. He knows how he likes things. I love him!

Indy, oh Indy. I think the pictures say it all. The first word that comes to mind when i think of Indy is funny. He makes me laugh so hard. He is a crazy little boy. Fearless. He has so much personality in that cute fat little body. He is a walking mess everywhere he goes. We know he is done with dinner when he takes his plate and smears it all over his face and hair. He's a curious little boy. Into EVERYTHING! And i wouldn't change a thing about him. I am one lucky mommy.

Our Drewman

2010-01-17T21:14:00.001-08:00

This is our Drewman. I love him.

Our Indy

2010-01-17T21:04:00.000-08:00

This is our Indy. I love him.

2009-12-30T18:34:00.000-08:00

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.

2009-08-03T18:44:00.001-07:00

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???)

2009-07-26T11:04:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-06-26T07:51:00.000-07:00

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

2009-05-31T05:26:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-05-29T07:14:00.000-07:00

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? :)

2009-05-19T14:17:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-27T13:29:00.000-07:00

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.

2009-03-27T13:01:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-18T19:52:00.000-07:00

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

2009-02-20T10:39:00.002-08:00

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

2009-02-20T10:39:00.001-08:00

2009-02-13T09:18:00.000-08:00

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

2009-02-10T13:27:00.000-08:00

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)

The Polar Express

2008-12-16T11:55:00.001-08:00

i can't believe it's almost christmas! jas and i have been wanting to start new traditions of our own. here is one that we started this year that we hope sticks!

An elf came to our house! he rang the doorbell and ran! But he left us all presents and a letter from santa

santa gave us all new jammies. so exciting!!

indy is still not too sure what he thinks of all of us.

after we all got in our jammies we made treats and watched the movie the elf left us. the polar express. drew loved it.

the next morning we woke up and went out to breakfast. all of us in our jammies. drew thought that was great!

well, maybe not.

then we went home and got ready. we decided to go to kangaroo zoo (jason took the whole day off) drew loves it ther. if you have never been there you should totally go. it's so much fun!

after the kangaroo zoo we went to the polar express. santa left us tickets because he wanted to see his drewman! oh i love my boys!

indy's still not sure....santa came and talked to all the kids and gave them a bell.this was such a magical night. it was so so much fun. i really hope we carry it on!

worst mom ever!

2008-11-25T20:01:00.000-08:00

dear indy,

i am so sorry i have been spraying floride up your nose instead of saline. good thing the doctor says you'll make it through your mom's careless mistake. i really do love you even though your burning nostrils might make you think otherwise.

love,

mommy

I LOVE MARE-BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-11-24T13:19:00.000-08:00

I JUST WANTED TO LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE MY LITTLE SIS. SHE IS THE BEST! SOMETIMES I HAVE DREAMS ABOUT HER AND IT MAKES ME MISS THE SMELL OF HER FLOWERY HAIR. I LIKE TO STARE AT HER DURING FAMILY PRAYERS TOO WHILE NO ONE ELSE CAN SEE ME. SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND FOREVER!!!!
I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH MARE-BEAR!

new haircut

2008-11-18T10:09:00.001-08:00

a few people wanted me to post a picture of my new haircut. here you go!

2008-11-15T14:38:00.000-08:00

ok so i know this is super super lame to add more stuff to why i love jason after i already made a long list but i forgot one of the main reasons i fell in love with him and thought maybe, just maybe i could marry this kid. wanna know? he has a book of rules! not kidding. not just any rules. rules rules. like one that stands out is rule #32 "Under no circumstance should 2 men ever share an umbrella." who wouldn't fall in love with someone who makes up his own book of rules.

2008-11-12T07:41:00.000-08:00

Me: Drew, do you like my haircut?
Drew: Yeah. You look like a chicken.
Me. Thanks.

4 Years

2008-11-10T15:14:00.000-08:00

For a while i didn't think i'd ever get married because i didn't think my perfect man existed. He does and i found him. I love you Jas. Happy 4 year!

I love Jason because....

-he doesn't have a mean bone in his body (except toward cute, innocent bunny rabbits)

-he is such a good dad and the boys love him

-he can always make me laugh

-he has spent money he has been saving to get a tool or toy on me

-he will randomly say "you're hot babe." (no matter what i'm wearing or doing)

-he does not hold grudges

-he doesn't look at other girls. even when i point one out he says "eh, they're ok" even though they are drop dead gorgeous

-he will do anything for me

-he is the hardest worker

-he will say the most hilarious inappropriate things (you'd just have to be there)

-he is so much fun to be with

-he is a manly man

-he is so positive and likes everybody

-he is good at everything he does and is very humble about it

-he's an amazing skiier

-he is very patient

-he is a worthy priesthood holder

2008-11-06T08:18:00.000-08:00

Drew: "mommy will you put my shoes on?"
Me: "sure" (i struggle putting his shoes on while holding indy)
Drew: "freak mom!"
Me: "drew we don't talk like that. it's not nice."
Drew: "ok mommy. when i'm a daddy i say oh my freaking crap like daddy."
Me: ......crap.

drew bop

2008-10-27T10:22:00.000-07:00

i know i say this in every post and it's getting really old BUT drew is getting to be so much fun!! i love it! he's getting to the stage where i can actually play games with him that i enjoy playing too. he loves to play baseball and football. everytime a car drives past he runs to the edge of the lawn and dances for them. it's so dang funny. we have gotten plenty of honks and waves and even made a few new friends. i think this picture looks like maury when he was little, but maybe it's just the eyebrows.

Indy is still just as cute as can be. he is the best little baby. he loves drew and drew can always make him laugh. i love my boys!

2008-10-21T10:23:00.000-07:00

i can not wait for halloween! it is one of my most favorite holidays. fall, blankets, soups, smells, mustaches....yes, mustaches. every year my parents throw a halloween party and every year jason somehow ties a mustache into his costume. he starts growning it the end of september so by the time halloween is here it is long and nappy. i can't say i love this tradition of his, but it is always really funny. i am amazed how every year someone i find so handsome can look so disgusting. last year he was a lunch lady and it took me months to get the image out of my head. here is the mustache in progress and last years costume. it still makes me feel a little sick to my stomach when i see it.

2008-09-11T16:31:00.001-07:00

today i have been trying to organize our pictures and i keep coming across pictures i have forgotten about. this one i could not resist. we found these man size footsie pjs 2 years ago and bought them for our cousin christmas party where we do a white elephant. i could not stop laughing when i saw them and somehow convinced jason to try them on. how is a man in glow in the dark space pajamas not funny? it was really the most hilarious thing i have ever seen and could not stop laughing. i hope jason doesn't mind but it wouldn't be right if i kept these pictures to myself. sorry jas!

2008-09-11T15:24:00.000-07:00

2008-09-11T12:06:00.000-07:00

i love my indy!

2008-09-11T11:48:00.000-07:00

indy is two months old! i can't belive it. time flies. he has been so much fun. really. he is just a fat happy little guy. he is already sleeping 10-12 hours a night (but we have earned it since drew is just now starting to sleep through the night) drew loves him. he loves to lay on him and poke him and wake him up. fun. i can't believe how fast my two boys are growing up! drew says the funniest things! but only funny for a two year old. for example... "it's not my problem mom" and "whatever " have become 2 of his favorite sayings. hmmmm. it won't be so funny 10 years from now i'm sure, so we try really hard not to laugh at his brattyness (although i might be just a little bit proud that he has some of his mom in him) back to indy, he is just a sweet kicked back little guy who always has a smile for mommy and has been so much fun to have around. i swore i was done having kids when i was pregnant with him but now i'm thinking i'll take ten more! just kidding. kindof.

six more weeks

2008-05-30T12:41:00.000-07:00

it has been forever since i last updated this! i'm a terrible blogger! not much has been happening lately i've got six weeks before baby indy and we have nothing ready! at least we have six weeks... i have to admit i am the worst pregnant person EVER! i HATE being pregnant. i love drew and am so excited to meet indy but i really do hate being pregnant. i try to be positive about it but i can't. it sucks! only six more weeks.....ugh. drew is getting so big and so much fun. he says the funniest things. he's such a stud. some of his favorite conversation starters are "mommy how's your day?" "hi mommy nice to meet you" and "MARE! AHHHH" him and mare have the most twisted relationship. it is so funny to watch them because drew LOVES to bother mare and as hard as mare tries to fight back, drew usually wins. that's my boy! he's such a little tease. i love him! sometimes i wonder if it will be possible to love another one as much but i know i will. jason is so cute with our little drewman. they are becoming best buddies. drew loves going to the "man store" (home depot) with daddy and help him outside. i feel so blessed to have my little family. i couldn't ask for anything more!

scary!

2008-03-29T07:33:00.000-07:00

so, last night i was home alone and i heard this huge BANG! it freaked me out! i called my husband and he called our neighbor to come check it out. he looked everywhere, he went downstairs to discover our downstairs window was wide open! scary! i went straight to my sisters house and waited for my husband to come get me. i didn't sleep at all last night i was so scared!

2008-02-23T18:50:00.000-08:00

drew is getting to be so dang funny! the other day when jason got home, he gave me a hug and a kiss. drew caught us and did not hold back "EW YUCK! GROSS!" so of course jason kisses me again and drew got a very concerned look on his face and said in a really sad voice "don't do that daddy. it makes Jesus sad" he cracks us up. it's so crazy how somebody so little has such a big personality. lately he has been obsessed with cinderella (please someone tell me that's normal) and the temple. today my mom, sister and i drove past the ogden temple and drew said "i marry cinderella in temple mommy" that made my day and i've told that story at least 5 times already. i could not imagine my life without drew or jason. i love them so much and i am so grateful that jason works so hard so i can stay home with drew.

valentines

2008-02-17T17:43:00.000-08:00

i had one of the best valentines day ever! jason came home from work and took drew and me to the best indian restaurant i have ever been too. (thanks karsten and lindsey!) it was so good i had the left overs for breakfast and we already have plans to go this week. after that we went to the junction and took drew bowling. it was a blast. drew had so much fun. he was hilarious, i wish i had a camera. he would roll the ball, bend down and say "go ball! go ball!" then as soon as it would get to the pins he would jump up and down( whether he hit any pins or not) and give jason and me high fives. so cute! the rest of the night was spent chasing drew around the junction. it was so much fun. i love being with my boys. thank you jason for such an awesome night. it couldn't have been any better!

2008-02-04T07:59:00.001-08:00

he had so much fun putting these stickers on. not so fun taking them off...

drewman

2008-02-04T07:50:00.000-08:00

our tv has been "broken" for the past couple of days and drew has found other ways to entertain!

here we go...

here are six things about me you might not know.

1. i have been told by more than one person they think i'm really an 80 year old trapped in my body. But who doesn't enjoy puzzles, long games of monopoly, reading, wheel of fortune, crosswords, and frank sinatra. AND everybody does get lonely mare.

2. i can go 3 days and 2 nights eating nothing but candy and drinking soda. proven fact. new record to be set winter of 08 after baby#2.

3. i'm pregnant with baby#2. boy, due in july. name, indy kent warnes.

4. i CAN NOT sleep in. no matter what time i go to bed i am up by at least 7:00 (usually earlier) it drives jason crazy when we go on vacation because he loves to sleep in and i get lonely.

5. i am obsessed with my little boy. i think he is the coolest, sweetest, funniest, cutest little guy ever. (he takes after his dad) i think about him all the time, dream about him, miss him while he's asleep. yes, i know, crazy. i love him and jason so much. there is nothing i'd rather do than be with the 2 of them. i don't even care what we're doing!

6. i HATE running. yes, running is the cool thing to do nowadays and i have tried countless times to be cool by "liking to run" but i HATE it and i'm never doing it again.

i have put off starting a blog because i feel i don't have much to write about. then i realized all these cute things drew has been doing and saying and i can't remember them long enough to tell jason when he gets home for work. this will be so good to help me remember and to stay in better touch with my fam! (even my little sis started one!) i am technically retarted so this is going to be interesting!
