On the road again.....

On Monday Amy, Jett, Abby and I headed to Arkansas to shop at a great little outdoor shopping plaza that I found a few weeks ago. Now, those of you who know me know that I don't particularly enjoy shopping for and/or buying things for myself, but I LOVE to shop and buy things for Jett. It is pretty much my favorite past time aside from playing with him. More fun than the shopping was getting to spend time on the road chatting with Amy and catching up. We have been best friends since we were in Junior High, but until we had our kiddo's, we didn't keep in touch as well as we both would have liked. After Jett was born, we decided that we were going to get together once a week and I was a little nervous about how long that would last. We have done a great job sticking to it and I am SO glad! It is so important to me that Abby and Jett grow up together and are always close (or husband and wife). :)
Here are some fun pictures from our trip:

Me and Amy














I LOVE this kid so much! Is he not just the sweetest thing ever?!?!?!?















Panda Jett (I suspect one day he will hate me for putting these hats on him)














Is this the face of Cover Girl 2025? I think so!














As you can see, what had a fabulous time. I think we were all exhausted by the end of the day. We loaded up and headed back to Tulsa around 6:30, thinking that we would make it home before it got too late. We were driving along and chit chatting away when I noticed that our surroundings were not looking familiar. I had Amy pull off to a nearby gas station so I could ask how to get back to 412, only to discover that we had missed our exit and somehow ended up past Fayettville. Oops! Needless to say, we arrived in Tulsa much later than we had planned so I put Jett straight to bed without even putting his PJ's on him. He slept so hard that when I went to get him up the next morning, this is what I found....














Bad case of bed head!!! Seriously, I laughed for about 30 minutes.

A few other fun things this week were pulling out some of Jett's puzzles and playing with them for the first time, and Jett feeding himself spaghetti O's with a spoon for the first time. He has several puzzles that make noises, and the animal one is his favorite so far.





















Jett has never been a big fan of touching foreign objects such as grass, rocks, vienna sausages, or anything slimy or prickly for that matter, so I decided to let him try to eat with a spoon instead of picking up the noodles with his fingers. He started off pretty clean, but after a while was a total mess and he even started picking up the O's with his fingers and smashing them everywhere and rubbing them across his high chair tray. Whatta boy! I was so proud of him. Enjoy the pic's and have a good week!
