matix mommy dates.

we had so much fun this weekend. 

just me and the little guy. 

the grandparents were out of town.

so we were forced to find our own fun.

and that we did!

friday night we went to bowling and dinner with kelli and dylan.

the boys had a blast.

but matix got distracted by the french fries i ordered about halfway through...

and gave up, oh well.

saturday we headed to siegfried and roy's secret garden at the mirage with our good friend brittany and her son keegan to see lions and tigers and..(no bears)...but dolphins and llamas and leopards. then we ate at CPK. the boys were in heaven. and so were me and brittany. the weather was absolutely perfect. and it was heavenly just sitting on the edge of the pool watching the dolphins do their thing. they were so close that we could seriously reach out and touch them if we wanted...and we got splashed a few times when they would jump out of the water. we all loved it! 

hooray for fun times with my baby boy 

:)

oh, matix

has recently figured out how to climb out of his crib. 

oh and i don't appreciate it.

he was the best sleeper ever. 

we would just put him in his bed for nap time or bedtime and he may cry for a second but he'd always be asleep within a few minutes. 

well...thats not the case anymore....

we put him in his crib. he cries and cries. 

then he'll climb out and sneak and play on my moms sewing machine. 

it's a battle that will continue for hours. 

until he will either go to sleep. 

or ill give up and not have him nap.

one day i got home from work and my mom had bungee corded his door shut. 

(i was dying of laughter...really mom? haha)

 he's soooo tired and he wants to nap, cuz he tells us he wants his blanket. and he rubs his eyes. he just refuses to go to sleep.

lately he's been asking for a "nugo" in between cries.

what the crap is a "nugo"??? i have nooo idea.

today i called jon to try and figure out what it is.

apparently it's a "snuggle"

he wants to be snuggled to sleep.

ohhh you spoiled little boy. 

so i held him in a blanket in my bed and in 15 minutes he was zonked

it was so sweet to hold my baby boy again like that, but i don't want this to be a habit.

i dont know what to do!!!

boo.boo.

the other day jon called me to check in. 

matix calls me just about daily when he's at his dad's house. 

anyways matix told me he got a boo boo on his head. 

so jon added in that he had tried to ride his cousin daniels bike, and tipped over.

so he got a little scrape on his head and nose.

no big deal, right?

well when i got him on friday i was a little surprised to see this?

he's a little banged up huh?

thats a pretty big scrape.

jon said he barely even cried,

but he sure talks about it a lot.

and he has since picked off ALL of the scabs. 

oh, little boyssssssss.

i saw mars.

and it really wasn't that exciting. shhhh.

but now i can say i saw it. 

all you people will have to wait til 2012 to see that bad boy again if you missed it last night  

or in january when it was much bigger. 

but you can see saturn on monday night, if you feel so inclined. 

maybe we should get a telescope for that one...

it might just make it a little more exciting than staring at a slightly red tinted star next to the moon. 

then me and jessica kicked some trash at cranium. except that we lost. we were good though. 

but for some reason cranium decided to be a little dirtier than normal.

we learned that 65% of boys in the US are circumcised.

and i had to act out reproduce, charade style. talk about awkward.

especially because my little brother was there. double awkward.

oh, cranium.

ohhhh i almost forgot. maybe its because im pushing it out of my head out of guilt. 
me and jaron. we cheated. on yogurtland. with uswirl.
never again. never again i tell ya.
it just wasnt the same. and we got crap for it.
but they have a freaking awesome couch there.

st. patty's day.

is one of my favorites... why?

cuz of the beer duh. (ya freaking right) 

i dont drink. ever.

it's because of the color green. duh. it's my absolute favorite. 

so if any of you were lame and didn't wear green you should be ashamed.

anyways i will leave you with this picture of me and corbin, to enjoy. it basically sums up our night of being surrounded by drunkards on the strip and green valley ranch. 

 good times. with great friends.

touch-a-truck

saturday morning me and matix planned to go to touch a truck at the orleans. my mom and dad had nothing to do so they joined us. i think my dad may have had just about as much fun as matix. seriously. matix is definitely a little boy, so i know he'd just love it. and he did. 

thanks kelli and dylan for inviting us. 

we had a blast, as always :)

baby shields.

in between the wedding festivities,

we somehow found time to squeeze in a visit to centennial hills

to meet baby shields who made his arrival earlier that morning.

high school friends

kadee.ashley.erin.megan.ashley.celina.layne.kelli.megan.

sister tresner.

is is called to serve in

manchester, new hampshire

and leaves on june 2nd.

watching her open her call was one of the coolest experiences in my life.

first of all i have been friends with ash since 2004 when i met her on the church history tour.

she was not a member yet, but had plans to be soon. 

we grew really close after sharing a bed together for what 10 days.

and have remained really great friends ever since. 

we've been far.

we've been close. 

(i mean freak we were roommates.)

and now we will become pen pals. 

a month and a half ago, tres was talking about her mission 

and how she had a dream that she was going to where....?

you guessed it.

new hampshire. 

she woke up wondering if people even lived there.

well tres...i guess you're about to find out!

apparently dreams really do come true.

and obviously the church really is true.

stuff like that just isn't a coincidence.

( the video is for you emily!!)

achy head.

Im going on 11 days straight with a headache that will not go away. i have left work early twice already. the only thing that makes it better is to sleep. i do not get headaches...ever. i am so sick of living my life with constant pounding, dizziness, and lightheaded-ness. (i dont think thats even a word...oh well) the doctor said my neck was out of joint so he popped it back. and he gave me sinus medicine. it makes me feel worse. like the icky medicine feeling plus a headache.  if this thing doesnt go away already i might just blow my brains out!

on a happier note...

1. trez gets her mission call today!

2. birdy goes through the temple today! and gets married tomorrow!

3. st patrick's day was fun fun fun!

4. matix comes homes today!

5. no work tomorrow because of bridesmaid duties tomorrow!

:)

tegan&sara

I am borderline obsessed. seriously.

their newest cd sainthood is amazing.

actually ALL of their cd's are amazing.

i listen to them on shuffle. all day everyday.

sometimes me and nat will even only speak in tegan&sara lyrics.

march 2 was a great day with my best friend.
t&s+natash+nordys=perfecto.

even though i would have felt i lot more in place if i was a butched out lesbian.

the end. <3

love them. like i do.
