My Poor Little Monkey

Jett woke up last night at 12:00 am throwing up...which he did 15 more times by 5 am. I seriously have never felt so bad for him. He was shaking and had it coming out his nose (tmi?). After hours of holding him and helping him hold his little throw up bowl, he fell asleep. I felt so happy he was finally getting some relief. Then...in the morning he woke up and noticed me sleeping on the floor and he starting giggling and hopped out of bed and started playing like nothing happened...silly little monkey. I hope it is over with. I have been doing laundrey all day trying to sterilize everything. Now, it is off to work for me. I couldn't find any one to cover for me tonight....stinking co-workers!!! At least he will be with his G&G Romero so I konw he will be loved and taken care of just like I would. So, what's the moral of the story? BEWARE OF THE 24 HOUR BUG, ITS GOING AROUND!

An Example of My Frustratoin...

Yesterday, I woke up at 6:00 am to go to to work. I haven't been sleeping well lately (maybe two to three hours a night) and I woke up in a state of only half awakeness. I went into the bathroom in the morning and grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste and began brushing my teeth...to my surprise and DISMAY...I had put Jett's butt cream on my toothbrush!!!! The most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. The day before I had chucked it on the counter after Jett began getting it open. I wish I would've paid more attention. At the time I was so frustrated...but now it is kind of funny!!!!

AWW...MUCH BETTER

Lately, and I mean for the past two months or so, it has felt like I have been losing control of my life, and that is one of the worst things for me. I am a control freak. Yet, despite my constant planning and trying, everything seems to be going wrong. We just can't catch a break. Today, I let it all get to me. I was feeling really bummed and down, but the show must go on right? I turned on some music and I started my daily cleaning. I walked around the corner from the kitchen to the frontroom when what did I see?...my little man rockin out to Kanye West's "Heartless". I mean he was rockin it. Jumping up and down, shaking his booty, flaring his hands around, and laughing it up (sorry, i didn't take any pictures, i was too busy enjoying the moment). Just then, it hit me. LIFE CAN SUCK...but I have Monkey. Does it really matter that things go wrong in the minimal way they have been? No. It's nothing that we can't handle and that wont pass. Nothing matters but my family. I know, I am getting all sappy and weird, but it is true. I am not going to lie and say we have it all together and that life is perfect, because it isn't. But, we do have each other. Me, Chad, and Jett. Thats it. We are healthy and together. That's what matters. And I feel lucky that I have the weeks, months, and years to come to get it all together and be with my boys. So, heres to more dancin' in the living room with my best little buddy!!!!

I'm a big kid now...

I know he is only 16 months but Chad and I just knew that Jett would love having a big boy bed. So, we converted his crib and he thought he was AWESOME! The picture below is his face when he first saw the big boy bed. We were a little worried about him sleeping in it and staying put, but he does so well with it. He goes right to sleep. Well, the first night I heard him playing with his toys for about ten minutes, but then he just went and crawled in bed and went to sleep. It is great. I can't believe he is such a big boy. He is getting old!

SUMMER FUN

I am a little late posting but I just wanted to post our July 4th fun. It was a blast. We woke up and Chad and his sister puller Jett and Easton in wagon in the parade. Then we finished watching all the floats. Jett loved it. He thought it was so neat they threw candy. Then right after the parade Chad, Me, Jett, and Chad's Parents headed down to Stadium of Fire. I have never went so Chad promised me last year that we would go this year (to his dismay Jonas Brothers were headlining it). But, Chad was excited to see the hose Glenn Beck. SheDaisy also came. I had a blast and I think Monkey did too. He was so well behavied. He especially enjoyed the fireworks. We stayed down in provo for the night so we weren't driving home so late and Jett loved our hotel room. He is so silly. I love watching him discover new things. I think he had a blast, I just wish he would remember this past weekend when he was older. ***Now on to our summer activity of choice. We love going to North Shore swiming pool. We go for a couple of hours once a week and Jett loves it. HE LOVES THE SPLASH PAD. Well, this last time we went Jett had a little accident almost the minute we got there. He wasn't really running but walking super fast like he does and he face planted it on the cement. His mouth was DRAINING BLOOD! He was freaking out and I was bawling at the sight of my little monk hurt. His nose became swollen so I took him to the doc and luckily nothing was broke, just swollen. His mouth was only cut a tiny tiny bit. I was surprised when the doc said it was nothing...there had been so much blood. But, I am happy he is ok. I think I cried longer and harder than monk. He has never been hurt and I couldn't believe it happened. I felt so bad and responsible. BAD MOMMY! But, he is resilent and we ended up going back to the pool and he had a blast. Today, you wouldn't guess it happened. I tried taking a pic but as you can see in the slide there isn't much to see today. (the picture post is below!)

Oh, Heffle Huffle...

OUR CONDO SALE FELL THROUGH!!! The young girl who was contracted to buy our condo ended up having to cancel the contract because her lending didn't go through. So, back to square one for us...it was a fun thought while it lasted. But, Chad and I are both firm believers that whatever happens happens for a reason and whats meant to be will be...and appartently it wasn't the right time for it. So, wish us luck again and if you know anyone who is interested send them our way.

Something about Dad...

I dont know what it is about Chad...maybe that he is boring, I don't know...but Jett seems to alwasy fall asleep with him. I was at the hospital visiting my brother and his new baby and Chad was staying with Jett. Well, (this breaks my heart) Jett thought I went to my room and cloesd the door so he went up there and was knocking for me (makes me want to cry) and I guess he got tuckered out. He fell asleep. When I got home I asked Chad where Jett was and he said he was sleeping on the floor but my the sound of my voice woke him up, luckily Chad snapped a pic. I gave Chad a good lecture on needing to entertain Jett better...silly boys!

FATHERS DAY...A WEDDING...AND A MOVIE

WE HAVE BEEN SUPER BUSY! First, I neglected to post a father's day post. I love my husband so much and I am so happy he is Jett's dad. I LOVE HIM! It is so fun to fall in love with someone and then fall in love with them over and over again as you watch them grow into an amazing parent!...Second, DUSTIN GOT MARRIED. For those of you who don't know, that is Chad's twin. It was a beautiful day (long, but beautiful) When you see the pic of me and my boys keep in mind that it was at the end of the day, I don't look too pretty!!!! It was an amazing day and I am so happy I was a part of it. Now I just have to stop worrying while they party in Mexico for their honeymoon. I am such a worry wart!...Third, I threw in some pics of Jett helping me clean. He thinks it is so fun and I hope he keeps on thinking that. It will come in handy!...Last, we took Monk to the drive-in with us to see Transformers (awesome movie!). He was so excited he got to play around in the car for a couple of hours while we waited for the movie to start. He played "driver" for a while and roamed around the car. He loved having the popcorn. He is so funny. Then right before the movie started he fell asleep buckled into his car seat. He slept the entire 2 1/2 hours (we didn't stay for the second movie) and he stayed asleep the entire way home and went right to bed until morning. I think we have a new date night!!! We hate leaving him, but sometimes you need to go have fun. This way, we don't have to leave him and all three of us have fun. We have had a super fun week, it was busy but extremely fun and meaningful! Oh, and by the way...our condo sell is put on hold. The buyers funding didn't go through as planned so she is trying again. Hopefully we can close on the 21st of July! But, if not then I just have to remember that what is meant to be will be...(picture post below, enjoy!)
