I completely forgot...

Jett started walking all over the place on April 15...so about a week or so ago. He is such a good little walka walka now. He goes everywhere. I tell ya, it's a whole new world with him walking. I will get some video of it and post it once we are feeling better (me and poor monkey have had the stomach flu for almost a week now...no fun). It is so fun to watch Jett learn and grow. It was so sudden that he started walking. The night before he couldn't and then the next day he was walking everywhere. About time he got brave enough to do it. He has been walking around the furniture and such since he was 10 months...yay for Monkey the Walka Walka (poor kid has so many nicknames from his silly mom...Monk, Bug, Jetterbug, and now Walka Walka...I swear when he gets old enough I will stop...maybe!)

Boderline Bob

I am totally turning into Bob from "What About Bob?" Any time I hear of anyone being sick I go into panic mode and don't want me or Jetterbug touching them. I can just picutre in my mind their skin and breath crawling with tiny germs. Now...the funny thing is I work in the ER and I have to touch sick people!!!!! I immediately go wash my hands and rub alcohol rub on. I have a problem that I don't know how to get over. I have been hearing people talk about the Swine Flu and I am freaking out. People are dying from that...and Dustin and Nicole are going to Mexico on their honeymoon and I am just positive they are going to bring it home (AHHHH, Paranoid much?). I am a weirdo but I hate hate hate germs. I seriously considered not taking Jett out of the house :) I am a freak! And don't even get me started on the Bird Flu epidemic. I have been in panic mode about that for awhile now. I keep thinking "I need to get more food storage so we can stay in our house for months when it comes" Seriously, I am driving poor Chad up the wall with my germaphobic ways. I never used to be like this until Monkey came along. I have issues and I am going out of my mind.

Big Change at the Romero Home...

I have absolutely loved staying home with Jett this past year. It has been amazing. He is my best little buddy. But...I got an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I am going back to work but only two days a week at night. Every Sunday and Monday I will work in the ER at McKay from 3:00 - 11:30. So, I will still get to spend my days and time with Jetterbug, but I can get out of the house and feel like a productive part of society too. I know, being a mom is the best job in the world but when you start talking back to the T.V. it's time to get out of the house. I am going to miss my Monkey. At least Chad will be the one with him those two nights...thank goodness for that! Here's to getting out of the house...

EASTER WEEKEND

I know that Jett is only 1 but I took him to the egg hunt anyway. IT WAS LAME. North Ogden (I decided to support the city we live, big mistake) only had paper eggs on the ground. You turned the eggs in for one mini box of whoppers. LAME LAME LAME. Good thing he is only 1. I will have to take him somewhere else next year. Later that night we were bored so we colored eggs. Dustin and Chad got so into it. They are so funny. On Easter morning Jett was so excited to see his baskett. He started clapping and laughing, it was so cute. He got a swimsuit, flip flops, the movie Robin Hood, and some animal shaped eggs with little treats inside. Plus he got some yogurt snacks. He was in heaven. After church we went to Chad's parents and had dinner. They always spoil Jett and Easton. They got them so many cute bath toys and then each a lawn mower to push around. They are amazing. Thanks you guys! It was a fun Easter and even better hanging out with family...we missed you Nicole!!! It was a great weekend. Picture Post is Below...

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY....

DON'T EVEN COME BACK ANOTHER DAY! I have been so excited for our family pictures it is ridiculous, and it just doesn't seem to be working out. We were booked for March 23...snow. We were booked for March 26...rain. We booked for Today April 8....freezing rain. Now it is pushed clear until May 6th and if it is cold and rainy that day I will scream. We reall want some great outside pics of us and it has to be great weather. The amazingly talented Anne Montgomery (Annimations Photography) has been so patient to work with us. She knows we want them outside so she has been so willing to accomodate. You should check out her blog. She is amazing. Cross your fingers we get to do them May 6th.

TO MY HUBS,

What do I love about you? Let me count the ways...

1. You crack me up. You are always saying something funny and off the wall. I love it!...Ceasar Millan :)

2. You love me and Jett so much. I love that you alwasy kiss us goodbye even when you are in a hurry and every time we talk on the phone you tell me you love me before hanging up...even in front of the guys at work

3. You like to watch kids movies with me. You never complain when I want to go see the newest Pixar movie or even disney movies. I know you secretly enjoy it...you don't even complain. My favorite, the new Ice Age, is just around the corner, prepare yourself!

4. You have the strongest testimony and an amazing knowledge of the gospel. You amaze me!

5. You love your family so much. Not just me and Jett but everyone. You would do anything for any one of them.

6. You try acting like a tough guy, but I know the truth. You're a softy

7. You want so much for me and Jett. Everything you do (most of the time...when sports aren't on tv, he he) is focused on making a better life for me and Jett. You work so hard so I can be at home with Monk. You're such a hard worker.

8. You are so cute with the neices and nephews...especially JayCee. You two crack me up when you are together.

9. You are so easy going (some times to a fault). Everything just rolls off your shoulders. You are so calm and collected all the time.

10. Last but not least, you are my husband and Jett's father. I love that you are mine and I am yours. Who would've guessed that we would be here today, celebrating our 3rd anniversary? Just over five years ago you were leaving on your mission and I was getting ready to wait the longest two years of my life. I fell in love with you before you left, while you were gone through our letters, and every day since you came home. I love you! Happy Anniversary.

Happy Anniversary to Us...

Chad and I snuck away Saturday to Sunday to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. He took me to the Anniversary Inn in Logan. I loved it. The room was amazing. We decided to stay in the "Lake Powell" Suite. It had cool built in stars on the ceiling and everything. It was pretty awesome. We loved it. I was a little...well, a lot nervous to leave my little boy for the weekend though. I had a rough time. For an entire year I haven't left him for longer than 3 hours at a time (just enough to see a movie). Seriously, that's been the longest span of time. I was struggling. But, I knew he was ok. We left Sat around 2:00 while he was taking a nap and Grandma Cheryl (Chad's mom) stayed with him. She took him to her house when he woke up and hung out until bed time. At bed time she, Raul and Nicole took him to our house to put him to bed. Nicole (Dustin's Fiance) stayed the night with him and when morning came she took him back over to Cheryl's to wait for us. I had so much fun being with Chad and just hanging out, but I was so so so excited to get home to our little man. But, just my luck...there was a blizzard coming down the canyon. Luckily, we made it through and made it to Monkey. Chad and I fought over who got to hold him first so we decided to race for it. I was pratically out of the car before Chad parked it. Needless to say, I won the race (Chad was trailing right behind me with good effort). It was so fun to see Jett's little face light up when he saw us. He was smiling from ear to ear. I loved it. We had a great time...I think we will have to make it tradition and pick a new fun room each time!...picture post is below :)

Anniversary Inn

First Haircut

This is the before of how long it was

Don't mind me, I'm not wearing any make-up and I look a little scary.

After the cut...looks a little sparse but better

We can now attempt to do his little hair...notice the cute fo-hawk

So, my little man doesn't have too much hair (despite his daddy's hispanic genes) but he does have a ton of hair in the back kind of like an old man would. You know, little on top but lots around the sides and back. We decided it was time he got it trimmed so it didn't grow into a mullet any more than it already was. So, my hair lady (Mollie at Tressez, she's great and I highly recommend her) cut his hair for us. Well, I wouldn't say cut but just trimmed up the back so it would grow evenly with the rest of his hair (hopefully soon). He was such a good little boy and let her do it with only minimal whining. He is such a good little boy.
