Yucky Bugs

Jett and I have both been under the weather this week. To sum up a really long week of runny noses, coughing, etc., I will just say that medicine + good ole' Vicks vapor rub = 1 happy boy today! I am feeling better as well. While we were on he mend indoors, Jett and I decided to whip up a batch of brownies.

My mom, God love her, came out on Wednesday and go us out and about for the first time in days. We took a trip to Babies R Us and then enjoyed Mexican food for dinner. YUM! Since Jett is quite possibly the most spoiled child in the universe, he ended up with new toys out of our shopping trip. I told my mom to put them in his Easter basket, but she insisted that he take at least one of them home. Needless to say, he loved hammering around on his new block toy.




As I was putting laundry away, Jett discovered his old Bumbo seat in the back of the closet. He decided to take it into the bedroom and have a seat in front of the TV on the sofa in front of our bed. I couldn't believe he could still fit in it!



This weekend we got to spend a lot of time with our best buds, Abby and Amy. Saturday we all went shopping, and today we were invited to a Easter celebration at a friends' church. Abby and Jett had a good time sampling all of the sweets on the dessert table and chasing each other around. They also enjoyed checking out the cool fishies (and shaking and knocking the bowl around...poor fishies).





Jett also enjoyed the hula hoop and the inflatable chicken.


After the pre-easter celebration we were out running around and we passed a construction site with several bulldozers, diggers, crane's, etc. Jett gets so excited that Bobby decided to pull over and let him take a look.






That's about all I have for now. Being sick at home doesn't allow for many good photo op's! Although, Jett is super snuggly when he is sick and I do enjoy that part.

Snow? In March?

Isn't spring supposed to be green and beautiful? Something crazy happened here last week and we had about 8 inches of snow on the ground by Saturday night. I was so excited for Jett to wake up Saturday morning so I could show him the white stuff falling from the sky. He was SO excited, and happy to watch it from the window, but not such a big fan of being out in it.

Jett in the snow.

I can't say that I blame him. It wasn't a nice, dry, powdery snow. It was more of a wet, nasty snow that turned into slush Sunday morning (just in time for my 20 mile run, yippee!) At least it looked pretty from inside. Since my idea of playing outside was not such a big hit, we opted to play indoors building lego's, riding around in the firetruck, and pushing around the bulldozer.





Today was a little better. Still lot's of puddles from the melting slush, but Jett enjoyed making snow balls and making mini snow men. I think he actually liked the snow, but he didn't care for it coming down on his head.



You would think that with the weather being nasty, and not having much else to do, that I would have used this opportunity to do a little potty training. Not so much. I just can't seem to motivate myself to potty train. I don't know if it's the dread, or the idea of not having a little one in diapers anymore, but I just keep putting it off. Instead, I shopped for Jett an Easter outfit and hit a great sale at Gaga-a-Gogo (fave store-everyone with little ones should go). Maybe the aggressive potty training will begin this week......or not.
Tonight, Bobby and Jett were playing "ride the little horsey" in the living room, and when Bobby stopped, Jett said "more quarters". He is used to always getting to ride the horse at the store, and knows that to make it go you must insert money. I gave him a penny to put in Bobby's hand and we did this over, and over, and over until I am sure that Bobby couldn't feel his legs anymore. At that point, Jett got down, ran back to our bedroom and grabbed a remote, came back into the living room, hopped back up on Bobby's legs, and pointed the remote at his knees and hit the power button. Where DOES he get this stuff?!?!? Here they are goofing off.




That about sums up our week. I hope everyone is safe and warm! Oh yes, and to all of my bloggie friends that I typically comment on, if you have noticed my slacking lately, it's probably due to my new obsession with Facebook. Does anyone have a page? It is so addicting and fun to find old friends!

This is what happens when it is nice outside.....

You got it. LOTS of pictures! I will keep this post short because I have a lot of pictures to share. The weather was nice most of last week, however one day was a little chilly so we had to break out a sweater and hat. As I was unloading groceries, I turned around to find Jett trying to hide himself under the kitchen sink. Where's Jett???? Here he is!

It's crazy to me how one day it is 80 degrees, and the next day it's back to 60.
Here's Jett playing another game of "Where's Jett?" with my blue fur throw.

Last Tuesday night mom and I went to see Elton John and Billy Joel at the BOK Arena. The concert was absolutely amazing. I have always liked both artists, so being able to see them perform together was awesome. Makes me realize I need to actually learn to play the piano, as ours is currently just an over-priced ornament in our living room. Wednesday Jett and I took my grandma to the Dr., and after her appt. was over we went to a park near her house so that Jett could play and feed the geese. Get ready, lots of pics!








After the park, we met Abby and Amy for dessert at Chili's. There was a nice man there who made both kids balloon animals. I tried to get a good picture of these two cutie's, but they are so busy that getting them both to look at the camera is almost impossible. They are getting so fun now since they have learned to play together rather than just playing around each other. They kill me! So sweet and cute. Jett is so proud to have such an adorable girlfriend.
Giving kisses.

Balloon puppies giving kisses, too.

After church on Sunday Jett and I headed to my grandma's house for a quick visit after attending a baby shower for my friend Liz and her new baby boy, Crew. Jett wanted to "dig in the dirt", so I removed his church clothes and let him soak up some sun in my grandma's back yard. He also enjoyed riding the tractor and pushing the mower around with Gramma.







As Jett is getting older, I am really starting to be flattered by people's comments about him. When he was a baby, we got the usual "he is just beautiful", "what a cutie", etc. Now that he is a toddler, we still get those types of comments too, however, I have to admit that it makes me feel so good now when people comment about on how sweet he is (and smart, but I can't take credit for that). He really is the sweetest kid. He very rarely throws fits, but when he starts too, he has learned to calm himself down and he will say "talk happy", or he will calm himself down enough to say "please mommy hold you", or whatever it is that he wants. One thing that we still get every single time we leave our house is comments about his hair. I never thought that his hair color was that unusual, but apparently it is. I wonder if people will still be telling him how pretty his hair is when he is in high school?? He sure does get a lot of attention for it now!
