My Laughing baby

Happy Friday

Happy Friday! This has been a very lazy week for us. I guess because we don't have any family coming.. BOO FOR THAT. Sidney and Corey's spring break was this week, so they hung out with Colton and I during the day. Needless to say, I got all caught up on my Hannah Montana, Suite life of Zach and Cody and Spongebob Squarepants episodes... *Awkward* (sorry, Hannah moment he he)

Colton is laughing a lot. If I can figure out how to post the video (it is not working right) I will upload one of him laughing.. it is so cute!

We are so ready for April 4th, that is when Kent and Sarah find out if they are having a boy or a girl!!!!!!!!! Also, I have deleted our jettandshauna.com site.. I never updated it anymore and this is where I post pictures.. and this is FREE


Love you guys!
Shauna, Jett, Colton and Krista

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone!! We had a great weekend. On Thursday, Mom, Dad and Kelsey drove up here from the Houston Stock show! They got in and we enjoyed some yummy homemade enchiladas and good company.

Friday morning, Jett had to work so we hung out that morning. Then, we headed to St. Francisville to ride the ferry to meet Jett for lunch in New Roads. I am not a big fan of the ferry, especially since just last week the motor went out and they crashed into a docked ferry.. not something I like to think of. Lunch was good then Jett went back to work and Krista, Kels, Mom, Dad, Colton and I drove came back, got Sid and Kelli and we all went to the zoo. Who knew that Baton Rouge would have such a beautiful zoo? We had a lot of fun and spent about 3 hours walking around the zoo.

Sid really liked the playground



The pretty Zebras

When we got back from the Zoo, Jett was home... I finally talked him (with a LOT of help from Dad) into heading to Home Depot to get me my screen door. I want one on both my front doors, but we have to work on the door frame for one.. so, we just got the one for my kitchen done.. but I LOVE IT. I know it is simple but I really love having the doors and window's open. HOwever, if there is no screen door, then flies and mesquitos come in.. no good.. Dad said by the time they get back down here, he will have my front door figured out so that I can get the screen for that! YES!

That night we got mom and dad hooked on the WII!! THat game is FUN and it gives you a good workout! :) Now they are going to go home and get one! Yeah for that.

Saturday we basically just hung out. We grilled burgers for Kelli's bunch and ours. Then we colored Easter eggs with Kel's kiddo's, Brandi from across the street's kiddo's and us. The kids hid the eggs a few times for fun.. only had a few scuffles, then we just came back and hung out. Sunday morning mom and dad and Kels got up early and hit the road.

MeeMaw and PawPaw and Kels.. DON'T GO!!



I love my MeeMaw



Colton and his bath



Colton's Mohawk ROCKS!

It was a great visit. Every time we see family, it makes us realize how much we want to be closer to home.. it is hard being this far away!!!!!!

We love you guys and hope that your Easter was as happy as ours was!

Trip home

HELLLOOOO!!

On Wednesday night, Jett, Krista, Colton and I headed to Dallas for the first leg of our journey. Jett had a conference that weekend and I was headed to Ft. Sumner for my sweet friend Michelle's baby shower! We got into Dallas around 10ih.. Colton did wonderful on the trip. We visited for a bit then hit the sack.

Thursday, Joslyn headed to work for the day planning to fly to Lubbock that night and I would pick her up and we would drive to FS together. Jett borrowed Joslyn's car to head to the hotel. Krista, Colton and I went to Candice's work to have her sign Michelle's gift, since she was not going to be able to make it to the shower. Jett calls just as we are leaving her work telling us to be careful.. snow is on our way. I tell him "we will be fine.. it is just raining right now" DANG IT.. as soon as I hit end on the cell phone, I told Krista, that sounds like sleet.. that continued for about oh half a second then it was almost a white out.. in DALLAS FREAKING TEXAS! WHAT?? I am not driving in Minnesota again am I?? here are a couple of pictures:




There was this prick of a driver in front of us, who kept fish tailing, he would speed up, then almost seemed like intentionally slam on his brakes to make him drive all crazy.. now, I can see if you are on a back road or NOT THE DANG INTERSTATE maybe having some fun, but here I am, driving with my son and my sister and I am not really in the frame of mind to deal with that crap. Luckily, Colton was asleep so he could not hear all of my "sweet, nice" words I was whispering to the other drivers.

In this picture, notice the car off the road and the lights a little further up facing us.. it was bad people, bad!





We saw a flipped RV, a couple of jackknived (is that spelled right) semi trucks.. the semi's were ticking me off b/c we had all started driving in one lane, in the middle of the interstate, going 20.. there were alot of cars doing this and it felt like a safe thing to do.. but the big semi drivers were in a hurry to get by us.. they were ticking me off (Sorry Dad!)

We had plans to meet Kyla in Abilene for lunch, our navigation system (when we started out) that we would get there at 11 45.. we ended up pulling in at 1 45, thankfully Kyla was able to still meet us at Chilis.. man, I miss that girl! We had a nice lunch, she got to meet her sweet cousin Colton.

Once we left Abilene, it was smooth sailing. Jett called and said "hey, this weather has messed up our conference, so it is cancelled. " WOO HOO. Luckily he was able to get on the same flight as Joslyn and they got in about an hour after I had arrived in Lubbock. We picked them up, quick ran to Party City to get some supplies for the shower, then headed to Dar and Davids for the night.

Friday morning, we got up and ran to Walmart, got the rest of the stuff for the shower and headed to FS. I had made a playlist on my IPOD of music from our senior years (97 for me 98 for Jos).. so we had a blast listening and signing to that.. dang we were dorks back then HE HE HE.. (NO COMMENTS PLEASE). We got there and ran to the Lumber Yard to say hey to Joslyn's mom, Mary Claire then met Nana at Freds... had a nice visit, then we went down to Nan's house and started our baking. Since it was a baby shower, we substituted Easter m & m's instead of chocolate chips.. and we made rice crispy treats with the Easter marshmellows. Luckily we realized we needed to seperate the marshmellows instead of throwing them all in, they would have melted into a ball of brown poo colored (which we could have put in diapers.. maybe next time). We ended up making 4 batches of cookies and 4 batches of rice crispy treats. YUMMY. Jett and I took Colton up to Granny and Grandad's and we picked them up and went to visit Cliff and Molly and the kiddo's. Man, they have grown! We got to see Reed's (and Zach has one) championship "3pete" state title football rings.. nice :)

Friday night, Peepaw got to meet Colton! It was great for us, our FS family is so far from us, we really cherish the time we get to spend together, when we get to spend time together:












Saturday was the day of the shower! Joslyn, Jamie, Crystal, Dawn, Ashley, Krista and yes, even Jett, met at the community house to decorate.. we had a blast:







We had a great time, and it was so awesome to see Michelle, she looks amazing!!! Here is a couple pictures of the hostesses (minus Candice).. we did one nice one and then one that is really us.. a bunch of goofs:






After the shower, we cleaned up really quick, then Joslyn, Jett, Krista, Colton and I headed BACK to Lubbock. Nana had baked Dar a birthday cake so we took that along. We got back to Lubbock at 9pm, had the bday cake and sang happy birthday to her, then hit the sack. We woke up Sunday at the butt crack of dawn (even earlier due to daylight savings) and hit the road. In Dallas, we met up with our good buddy Matt and his fiance, Mykeall, at lunch, dropped Jos off at the airport for her car then continued our trip. It took us a total of 14 hours and amazingly enough, Colton did WONDERFUL. The last half hour, he was DONE, but he did great.

We actually got here the same time Kent and Sarah did!! Yup, they finally got to come and meet Colton.. plus, they have some amazing news as well, they are expecting a baby!!! WOO HOO for that! We are very excited for them. So we went and ate Chili's and came home and crashed.. it was a LONG day for us.

We got up Monday morning and once again, hit the road to New Orleans, we wanted to go to the aquarium. Umm, it is closed on Monday's.. LOSERS. But we had a nice walk around the French Quarter... ate some beniegts, I shoved a spoonful of powdered sugar on Jett.. oh and.. I was very aroused when I saw this hunk o burning love sitting right behind Sarah.. every time I looked at her.. this is what I had to see (thank goodness Kent and Jett were blocking me in.. otherwise, there is no telling what I would do)



Tuesday we took the ferry to New Roads, ate some grub at Satterfields and then headed to Myrtles, the haunted plantation house in St. Francisville. We did not see anything paranormal but I still was creeped out: http://www.myrtlesplantation.com/

We came home, played the WII and then I cooked a Mexcian feast for supper. Wednesday, Kent and Sarah headed home and Colton and I hung out at the house.. poor Jett had to go to work!

All in all, it was a WHIRLWIND of a week. We were exhausted, but the GREAT kind of tired, that is brough on by great company, great friends!!

Hope all of you guys are doing well! Please comment but don't forget to sign your name if you are leaving one annonomously, we don't know who you are if you don't!!
