My Sweet Baby Caleb

I was so excited to finally get the cd of Caleb's pictures that he took a couple weeks ago! We have been trying to do family pictures also, but the STUPID weather has not allowed us to! So sad! Hopefully this weekend we will be able to do them since it is supposed to start warming up! Keep your fingers crossed! So, I just had to post a few of them because they are SO CUTE! I love Lynda! She did such a fantastic job! Enjoy!

I love my sweet little chunk! Let me know if anyone wants her information! She is amazing!

Caleb's Blessing

This past weekend we were able to bless Caleb. It was so neat to see Matt bless another one of our boys! We also had Matt's sister and brother-in-law come up from California to share it with us! They just had a baby in March and it was so funny to see how big Caleb looked next to Bryce! Bryce is about 3 months old and Caleb is 6 weeks old and they are almost the exact same size! I hope they grow up to be best buds! They were too cute to see together! Well, this is just a short one but I just had to get these cute pictures up! Enjoy!

Bryce and Caleb - So CUTE!

Such a sad face!

Caleb's cute pictures!

Hey All - Just wanted to let everyone know Caleb had his first pictures done and they turned out so cute! A few are posted on her website so check them out! www.bluelakephotography.typepad.com

I will post more when we get them all done! We are doing family pictures on Saturday so I will have those up too!

Oh Baby!

Wow! One month has officially passed since Caleb came into our lives! I must say that Jonah has done a lot better than expected with his baby brother! He is SO good with him! Matt and I are both VERY happy so far with how well Jonah has adjusted! And plus, he is sleeping MUCH better in his big boy bed! YEA!

Caleb is so much fun! We love our chubby little guy! I am very sad though because his cheeks are starting to thin out!! :( I love to kiss his chubby little cheeks! It is so fun to see how different Jonah was as a baby compared to Caleb. Matt and I have both agreed that Caleb is a lot more high maintenance than Jonah was! But we still love him all the same! He is becoming a very good little sleeper at night! Thank goodness! He gets up maybe 2 times during the night, which makes me a very happy Momma!


Being a mom of 2 little boys is lots of fun! Don't get me wrong, I definitely have my days where I feel like screaming and crying right a long with both my boys, but that is to be expected!

Caleb at one month:
Loves to sleep!
Loves to cuddle with Mommy! (I LOVE THAT!)
Loves to eat!
Loves to watch his big brother!
Loves to take a bath!
Loves to look at lights with Daddy!
Loves to talk and smile with Mommy at 3am!

Welcome Caleb Danny Johnson!

Caleb Danny Johnson was born on April 26th, 2009 at 1:46 a.m. (2 weeks early! Thank goodness!) He was 10 pounds 1 ounce and 22 inches long! BIG BOY! He is so sweet! We love him and we are so glad he is finally here!

I was scheduled for my c-section on May 3rd, but Saturday night we got home from Matt's brother's house and I felt kind of weird. Matt had to go to the store to get some milk so I put Jonah to bed and started getting ready for bed myself. After I was done, I laid down to go to sleep and I felt a BIG GUSH of something come out of me! I ran to the bathroom and sure enough my water had broke! It was the weirdest feeling in the world!

Matt was still at the store so I called him and he came home fast. We got in the car and were at the hospital by 12:30 a.m. and I was in labor contracting every 2 min. So I was wheeled into the O.R. and had Caleb by 1:46 a.m.! What a fun night! I was so relieved when he was out! I can breathe again! We are so happy he is here! Enjoy the pictures and I will update more later! Thanks guys!

Where did my sweet boy go?

For the past 2 months Matt and I have been struggling with Jonah and sleep. He used to be the perfect angel! I would read him a story, turn on his music, lay him in his crib, and he would sleep from 8:00 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. the next morning. Then for his naps I would lay him down at 1:00 p.m. and he would sleep for about 2 to 3 hours.

Well, me trying to plan ahead with the baby coming I decided 2 months ago that it was time for Jonah to be moved to a toddler bed. BAD IDEA! I do the same routine with him just like I did with the crib and he REFUSES to go to sleep. He keeps getting up and out of bed and I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to get him to stay in his bed! He will fight with me until 11:00 p.m. some nights! I WANT TO SCREAM! After all the crying and screaming this is what I go in to his room and find....

Why he can't fall asleep in his bed instead of on the floor at 11:00 p.m. at night I DON"T GET! He will then wake up at 3:00 a.m. and try to get into bed with Matt and I. We put him right back in bed and it is the same thing over and over again for about an hour! Then he decides to wake up between 5:30 and 6:00 IN THE MORNING! AAAAHHHH! HELP ME! Anyone with ideas PLEASE HELP!

The worst part about this is that because he isn't sleeping like he normally does, he is CRANKY ALL THE TIME! I'm having a baby VERY SOON and I can't do this anymore! I love him so much but he has never made me go this crazy about something before! WE ARE SO TIRED! HELP!

It's Satan Mommy!

This last Christmas Jonah had a very hard time saying Santa. It always came out Satan. With that being said yesterday a very funny thing happened. We pulled up to wait in line at Walmart and there was an older gentleman in front of us with a white beard and a big round belly. He politely turned around and smiled and said Hi to Jonah.

Jonah then turned to me with his eyes BIG and ROUND and yelled "It's Satan Mommy! Look! It's Satan!" Jonah proceeded to do this for the remainder of the time that the poor man was standing in front of us. I kept trying to tell him to quiet down but he didn't care! He saw Satan! Needless to say my face was red hot by the time we left Walmart!

He just doesn't understand!

For weeks now I have been bugging Matt about getting stuff for the new baby. Every time we talk about it all I get is "Honey, it is way too early! Wait a few more weeks and then we will go and get everything." Or my favorite one, "I think I am going to take the day off work the Friday before the baby comes so we can just go buy everything that day." Is he trying to send me into early labor?! I'm not supposed to go into labor! I have c-sections! Don't make me crazy!

So I finally went against his 'better thinking' and went and got A LOT of baby stuff that we needed! I mean I only have about 7 weeks left! I think I have the right to go and get some of the big things don't I?! I couldn't wait any longer! I was going to lose my mind! I don't feel prepared for this baby to come like I was with Jonah! I just hope Matt will start listening to his hormonal pregnant wife and let me get what I feel like I need so I won't drive him nuts!

Sorry for the rant, but I just had to vent some frustration! I love my husband soooooooooo much! He has been so good to me through this pregnancy! Always getting WHAT EVER craving I have and dealing with me not cooking dinner very much! Let's not forget the crazy mood swings I have while being pregnant! Those are always fun for him I'm sure! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! I just want him to know and every one in the blogging world to know how much he means to me!

Thanks for listening!

Only 2 1/2 months to go!

Everyone who doesn't live near me keeps asking me to put belly pictures up of myself, but every time I remember Matt is never home to take one! So, maybe next time guys sorry! I can tell you though that I definitely look 7 months pregnant! I definitely feel it too! Right now the baby loves to play with my ribs and he gets the hiccups quite often! That's always fun to watch!

We also now have our c-section date scheduled! It is May 3rd around 9:30a.m. Having that scheduled makes it feel SO real! It is coming very soon! We are all so excited! Funny side note: Jonah was born November 3rd, and now this baby will be born May 3rd! Easy birthday's to remember though!

Well, enough rambling! Here are some fun new pictures of my little man! Enjoy! Hope all is well with everyone and we will talk again soon!

Better late than never!

We found out we were having a boy on Christmas Eve but I wasn't able to post any of the ultra sound pictures because we weren't in our house. So.....I decided to go ahead and do it now! Better late than never right?


The pictures are kind of dark but that is his little face and he was waving to us!

I thought this was cute! He was resting his chin on his hand!

Need I say more? Definitely a boy!

This one was really dark but I liked it too much! It's his little tiny feet with all 10 toes! I love it!

I can't wait to meet this little guy! We still can't decide on a name but we have narrowed it down to 3! We will let you know!

Oh Jonah!

So I have been very lucky with Jonah so far with him not getting into anything. Even when he was smaller and started crawling he just didn't cause a lot of trouble....Which makes me think that I am going to have my hands REALLY full with this next little boy because I was so lucky with my first!

Yesterday I was on the computer for all of 5 min. and I turned around to check on Jonah because he was really quite and I found him on the couch with a pen coloring all over his leg! I went over to ask him what he did and he very innocently replied "Mommy, picture!" over and over again! So fun!

So I decided that since I got deprived of these 'fun' things when Jonah was little I was going to blog it! So here are Jonah's 'pictures'!

So, I know it isn't a TON of pen all over his leg but for Jonah this was HUGE! He has never done anything like that! So, I was a little shocked to see his 'picture'!

Home Sweet Home!

WE ARE FINALLY IN A NEW HOME! I am so excited! We have been here since this weekend and I am glad to be back in my own bed! We were gone for 6 weeks! I know it doesn't seem too long, but it felt really long living in limbo! Jonah has been very excited to be back playing with all his toys! He really missed all of them! I am very grateful to my parents for letting us crash at their house for so long! We really appreciate it!

WARNING: This post is nothing but an angry rant!

So, for those who haven't heard our apartment building was flooded A MONTH AGO and we haven't been home for OVER A MONTH! We didn't get to spend Christmas at home or New Years! :( Our apartment complex management has been telling us for 2 weeks now that we would be able to move into a new apartment....tomorrow. (They say this to us EVERYDAY...We will know for sure if it is a go tomorrow!)

Let me tell you, I am so tired of hearing this that I told Matt I wasn't calling them any more, because if I talked to them I wasn't going to be nice! (Crazy pregnant woman coming out of me!) I am so FRUSTRATED with this I can't even tell you! I totally appreciate my parents letting us stay at their house for the last month though, (my mom and dad both say that they are the lucky ones because they get to see Jonah every day!) I just really want to go home! I miss my bed! :( I'm really sorry this post is just a total venting session but I am so DONE! Thanks for letting me rant!

It's a BOY!

For those who haven't heard Matt and I found out on Christmas Eve that we are having our second baby boy! Although I wanted a girl so bad that it hurt......I am so very excited that he is HEALTHY and VERY ACTIVE! During the ultra sound he would not stop moving but we got some very good pictures of our sweet little boy waving to us!

I will be posting the pictures from our ultra sound as soon as we are able to go back into our apartment! Long story short about that....Our apartment building was flooded so we are not at home right now! :( But we will be home shortly! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for letting us stay with them! What would we do without them!?

A fun update!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the start of the Holiday season! Well, everyone here is doing great! Jonah had fun tonight while we were playing with Boppo....a.k.a. Grandpa! He was playing peek-a-boo with Boppo's hat and I got some fun pictures of it!

Also, I just wanted to let everyone know that Matt and I find out what we are having on Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas to us! So our gift to everyone this Christmas is telling them if we are having a baby boy or a baby girl! I am hoping for the girl of course....me being the major girly girl. But because I want a girl I know I am going to be blessed with another boy! As long as the baby comes out healthy and strong, I have no problems one way or the other!

Enjoy the fun pictures of our little man!

Happy 2nd Birthday Jonah!

Happy 2nd birthday to my handsome little boy! We love you soooo much! I can't believe that 2 years has gone by so fast! Happy Birthday!

Mommy Pumpkins!

We went to the pumpkin patch this weekend with some of Jonah's cousins and Jonah was on pumpkin OVERLOAD! Ever since we put out our Halloween decorations Jonah has LOVED to say pumpkins! We have these light up pumpkins that he makes us turn on when ever he is awake! He loves them! So, needless to say he had a blast at the pumpkin patch! There was a section with animals in it (that stunk SOOOOOO BAD!). Jonah loved those guys too but he kept calling them the "Yucks" because they were pretty gross! We had lots of fun and Jonah even picked out his own pumpkin! He was very excited!

It's About Time!

Cinco De Mayo here we come! We are pregnant with baby number 2!!! Yea! We just had our first ultra sound today and the baby is perfectly healthy and growing well! We could see 10 fingers and 10 toes! We heard the heart beat and it was very strong! Doc says every thing looks fine and my due date is May 5th (as long as the baby doesn't get too big since Jonah was huge!) We are so excited and we couldn't wait any longer to tell everyone! Jonah is very happy too! He loves to point to my belly and say "Mommy, Baby!" Enjoy the pictures!


Mommy's little jelly bean!



This one is my favorite! The baby is just kicking back! Crossing it's feet and waving!

Just a little update!

Hey all! I just wanted to let everyone know that Jonah is doing soooo much better! He is almost back to normal again! He definitely has his appetite back though, which makes me very happy! The only thing that we are still a little worried about is he is not gaining his weight back as fast as we would like. But that will just come with time I guess! With the way he is eating, I'm hoping it won't take too long! He is back to smiling though, and I have missed that and his fun little laughs! I'm so grateful he is doing so much better!

My Sweet Little Baby

If any one hasn't heard yet, my poor baby boy was back in the hospital this past Thursday for Rota Virus. He was hospitalized just four and half months ago for the same thing! My little guy just can't seem to catch a break!

He woke up on Tuesday morning throwing up and having LOTS of yucky diapers and so Matt and I both agreed that we wouldn't wait this time like we did last time. We took him straight to the doctor and he said we just need to give him some time to see if he would get over it.

Well, he didn't. It just got worse. So, they put him in Saint Mary's for about 3 days to hydrate him with IV fluids. It is amazing how quickly that helps to get him better.

We got home on Saturday afternoon, and he is doing better. He lost about four or five pounds (better than last time! He lost seven!) but he is starting to get his appetite back and is drinking much better.

I don't understand this! I hate seeing my poor little guy so sick when there is nothing that I can do for him! It just breaks my heart! The doctor said that after two or three times of children getting Rota Virus, their body starts to build up an immunity to it! I sure hope so! I will keep my fingers crossed!

My son steals food!

Today, while all the babies were sleeping (I now watch 2 little babies during the day....Lots of work but very fun!) including my son, I decided that I would treat myself to a yummy mint chocolate drumstick. They are my weakness. I love them! So, of course, right when I open the package and take my first lick, I hear Jonah say over the baby monitor, "Mommy! All done! Get out!" UGH! Right at my first moments peace! So, without thinking about it I set my ice cream on a paper towel on the table and go and get Jonah out of bed. I changed his diaper and let him run free, and within the 15 seconds that it took him to run from his room out to the living room, he got onto the couch, crawled over to the table, and had chocolate ALL OVER his face!

I walked over to him and said, "You took my ice cream! Can mommy have a bite?" He smiled and said "No! Yummy!"

He sat there and ate the WHOLE CONE! That's what I get though for leaving my ice cream out for little fingers!

Camping at Morro Bay

This past weekend Jonah and I got to go camping at the Edmonds Family Reunion in Morro Bay, CA. We were VERY sad that Matt couldn't come. He couldn't get off from work so he told me just to go ahead and go. It was lots of fun! It was sooooo COLD though! We were not used to that being in the middle of the summer! It was really neat because I got to see some of my cousins that I haven't seen in about 10 years. It was so much fun to catch up with everyone! Jonah had lots of fun too. This was the first camping trip that he was actually able to do anything! We went camping last year but he was still a baby so he didn't really understand anything. This year, he was all about playing with his cars in the dirt and he was LOVING the camp fires! Oh no! I have another piro on my hands, just like his dad! All in all, it was lots of fun! We missed our daddy though!


Jonah and his favorite dump truck playing in the dirt! FUN!

Jonah loved to eat the roasted marshmallows that EVERY one of his cousins kept giving him! He had SO MUCH SUGAR!


My Aunt Kathy brought up her bike and every one was trying it out. It was this really neat cruiser bike. Jonah even got a turn with Boppo (Grandpa) and did not want to get off!

We had a really good time! Enjoy all the pictures!
