My Favorites

For the past couple of months Jett loves to play hide'n seek. Here is my favorite pick of him hiding, he had the help of cousin Elena to hide him from me!

I caught Jett talking on the phone with cousin Julia, he sounds so cute!

Cousins Jethro and Jethrine

These two active kids are my cousin "G" tornadoes. Joey is the tallest kid in his grade and Carmen towers over kids her age. Hence why I call them Jethro and Jethrine!! They love Jett!

Thanksgiving 2008

I had a tiny little train set and Jett and the cousins were playing with it and needless to say, it is broke!

Jett just loves his tree!

Jett's placing his first Christmas tree ornament. He picked out KU Jayhawk!!

Well, not much has changed in the world of the Chanutians!! We were supposed to head down to Dallas for Thanksgiving to spend it with my TX family, but that did not happen. Jett decided to get a sinus infection and my was so stuffy with mocos coming out that I felt bad leaving him. So, we stayed. I did feel like I had a peacefull extended weekend. We caught up on some movies and of course, raved the BF deals. We got our garage door openers that we wanted for our Christmas gifts, and let me tell you, we got them just in time, it has been colder than shit here!! Thanksgiving started at the Cosby family, with some good white food, drop noodles are my favorite!! Then, we head to the church for the Ponce family gathering and enjoyed the Cowboys game. That night, I got a little sniffle and hurried and popped some IBprofin and was ready to go for BFriday. Our main concern was getting over to Home Depot in Pittsburg(50min away) and get our garage openers. I had it all planned out, I was going to wake up and 5am and order the portable DVD player from walmart online, so that I did not have to go there and get trampled. Well, I get up and the Site was down!!! I yelled at Donnie, "get up, the site is down, we got to go to walmart." We take off, not sure if we had brushed our teeth! The parking lot, plus more were full, so I dropped off Donnie and he went and scurried through that damn mess and then I had found a close spot and parked. It took us 5min. to get the DVD player and 40min to check out!! CRAZY!!! So, Home Depot had opened up at 7 and we made it there a little after 7am. We got our things plus the keyless entry and headed to Joplin to Big Lots. We did not need anything that day at Big Lots but I had to get their add just in case and sure enough there was something that I needed, but was on sale Saturday morning! UGH We headed to Joplin because I wanted to get me a couple of clothes that were on sale that I wanted for cheap. I got one of the vests and if I had not passed them, I would have gotten two, but some other hooker snatched the other one! We got some other things in Joplin and we basically took our time. So, now I am pumped for Saturday Big Lots! The weekend before, I was at Sam's and saw this Black and Decker bench with tools, Jett saw it as well and totally threw a fit because the tools were stuck to the bench and he could not get them out. This set was $49. At, big lots they had it for $25, so, I load up in my Prius on Saturday and drive my happy ass to go get my great purchase. I get there with 15 min. to spare. There were cars already there but not a line of formating people, except for one little boy, he was there for the motorcycle santa. So, I get all my warm stuff on and head to the door. Then the line started to form! The little boy was on my side and he got my tool set for me along with an extra 34 more tools for $15. I am crazy, I know, but I love it!! Bargins that is!

I had a crazy fun Thanksgiving in C-town!

Trick Treat!! Quack!

Ever since I had seen the movie Howard the Duck, I had always wished that a cute little cuddley duck would come into my world! Well, I have him. I did Jett as best as I could to look like Howard the Duck. I think I did pretty good, I only spent $5. So, here is my precious little duck from outer space!

Jett just turned 21 months old and he is talking up a storm!! He is such a parrot now!! He is amazing, he says 3 to 4 word sentences and remembers everything that happens or everything that I say. He is such a joy!!! We were in church a couple of weeks ago and he was singing one of the hymns and up to 3 pues in front of us everyone turned to look at him! He loves music, all kinds, my very diverse kid!!
One other amazing thing he does, is that he can kick a nerf football, literally! We have been practing the uprights, he can't get it quite up that high but his approach to the ball and power is unbelievable!! He also can punt the ball! Being a physical education teacher, his motor skills are way above average, that makes me happy!!!

The Jett and Cousin Rece- uhm they don't take after their parents!!
Ya, Jett never really used a pacifier, but when traveling it was easier than a bottle, so I trained him to take the "pon" and now he will not let it go!!!

He is sooo cute!!!

OK, so, I took the summer off! Seriously! I have not had a camera since March and pretty much my life had been hectic since then! So, who the hell wants to just read words, everyone wants pictures!! I am not the funny blogger, so I spared you all the complaining and missing I do!!

After 5 months of going through probate, we finally got our house!! We closed on June 18th and painted and moved all our stuff into the garage were, some stuff still is. So, it took us about a week to clean and paint.

My parents and I and Jett, were due to go to TX, head down to SA, up to Austin, and then Dallas after the 4th of July, but Mick broke her foot, running out the garage door to play cards! After the fall, my dad made my mom a ramp, because the step out of the garge door is somewhat high for her, so he made a ramp with a Laredo rail. Now, I have pictures on my phone, but I donot know how to get them off, so just imagine, a the back of a wooden chair as the rail for my mom to hold. I swear my dad thought she was 3 foot tall? Well, Jett loved it, so they kept it on, but this weekend when I got home, it was taken down! I was disappointed! Anyhoot, there went my vacation!! Instead, I had to take care of Mick for a whole 2weeks! Mick was OK, she could still complain!! Joe, would have rather came out of retirement to go back to work than to take care of stuborn Mick and her complaints!!

So, I finally just did not give anyone a heads up and I decided to make the trip, I gave Donnie a three day notice and Jett and I were jetting off on July 18th, I told Mick and Joe two days before and they were worried about me driving by myself with Jett to Dallas. So, they told me on Thursday night that they were going with!

We made good timing on Friday, being that I had a toddler and two geriatrics! We left at 5:30am, Mick and Joe passed out, and me and Jett wide awake, I thought they were supposed to be helping me with Jett??? Anyways, we stopped for breakfast in Tulsa and after that Jett passed out for an hour. We made it in 8 hrs, 2hrs for stopping and eating!

The whole time we were there, Jett and I were on the go seeing people, if we did not get to you, sorry, we will be down again, real soon!!

Jett loved the fast life, he was a trooper! We would take off around 10am ish and be gone all day till 10pmish and he loved going fast in the traffic!! I asked him if he wanted to move back, he smiled!! I got to see my beloved friends!! Had some great laughs, good drinks and great food!!

We stayed till the next friday and on our way home, Jett started throwing up! This is when I really needed Mick and Joe!! Oh man, he would not stop! On the way home, it took us 9 and a half hours and Jett puked 5 times!! Through the night, he threw up once! I forgot to mention that, while I was in Dallas, Donnie had contracted staph infection on an open cut on the bottom of his foot, so when I got home, I was not about to go into my staph infected house with out disinfecting it first! So we stayed at Mick and Joe's. So, on Saturday morning, while Jett slept, I went to the house to start cleaning, I had a headache, went back to mick and joe's and I started dry heaving, so now I had the crap! I only dry heaved, but had diarreah and by the end of the day, I was rid of it!! It was crazy!

So, now we are one week into our house again!! I still have tons of crap in the garage and just not enough time in the world to get it all sorted through and put up or thrown away. I just have this week before school starts!

This past weekend, my home grown amigos and I had a girls weekend in KC. We had a fabulous time! It was hot! I think we walked a marathon around the Plaza and the two resturants that we stopped at, their AC was OUT!! Mandy whom is 8months prego was like, I am sorry for being a bitch, but we have to go!! I was like, I ain't prego and I am very hot!!

Anyways, we had a great time!! I did purchase one of those 60minute video camera Flip Video things. I had taped some already and had did something wrong and erased the videos, so here is some of the house and a little of the Jett. Here are some pics of Dallas!

Summer Break

My summer break started on the 21st of May. I have been busy trying to start my masters, finally getting the house, and trying to catch up with friends in KS(seriously in my hometown) and TX, which all of my friends are busy now with their new babies, I don't get to chat with them on the phone. But at least I leave a message and read blogs, so I know how they are doing. I wish that I could go down to see my TX crew, I could really use the laughs, but of course, I have no money for travel right now. I can't complain, I have my Jett and he is hilarious! Did I mention that I am a part time worker for American Greeting Cards! Yup, just about 9hrs a week, it makes a payment though and it is easy work!!

If I had already gotten my stimulis check, I would have been in TX, but of course, I have not gotten crap! I did direct deposit, but it still was not in the account, so now, I hope that it comes by check, if not, I don't know what the heck?

Here are a few pics of Jett. As soon as I get my check, I will get a new camera!! I must have zoomed in on the pics, and this is what I got!!

Girl NO More!!

Cool calm and collective!
Underway
This isn't so bad!
OK, I will continue to play with the phone, she ain't hurting me!
What the ****!

Not cool!! Get your hands off of ME!

All of Jett's little curls.

I am still a lady's man!

That is what I call a Mexican kiss, from Delphina of course!!!

Ok, so about 3 weeks ago, I gave Jett a little hair cut. Yes, Mick and I decided that the barber shop was open! Well, I cut some of Jett's hair, I thought I cut a bunch, but obviously I did not, so within those weeks, Jett's hair grew really long again!! He was at the point that he was itching his head so bad that he made his scalp bleed, ya, cheap mom I am!! When eating he would put his dirty hands and rub them through his hair.

So, I finally I broke down and took him to a professional, yes, Delphina. Let me tell you, I did not even come close to cutting as much hair as she did and Jett looks wonderful!!

At first, I sat in the chair with Jett, but for some reason he wanted daddy, so I rolled with it. Jett did a great job through out. I told Delphina to please don't mind the sticky parts in his hair and she was like no problem, until she tried combing through.....uhm, she was like DAMN! I don't think I need a little girl!
Delphina would talk to him and he would babble back at her while playing with my phone or daddy's. Delphina was impressed, but then she had to shave the side burns and back, the sound of the clippers scared him, but he got over it! OK, so I will dish out the money from here on out to go to a professional for Jett, he looks way better! At least I thought I did a better job than my sister cutting Bubba's hair, oh and my dad's!

My Boy Is Intellegent!!

This is grandpa giving him a ride in the wheel barrel. Uhm, it is harder than it looks, I was strugglin!

Momma and the Jett
I just taught Jett about dandilions, he got a kick out of blowing, but then they started getting closer and closer to the mouth.
Jett started to grab the flower and open his hand and let them go!!

Well, Jett is 15 months and he just continues to amaze the crap out of me!! He has been sickless for 2 months now, thank you for tubes in the ears!! Tubies have helped him tremendously. Jett can say a plethura of words, but they are not full words, but you can understand him. Let me tell you, he says both English and Spanish words. He had started saying words since December but now he really knows what he is talking about. Some of his words are, caca, ven paca, dientes, teeth, nose, eyes (he also points to them), cat, dog, mommy, da, go, blue, green, yellow, red (he mocks me when i say them, we are working on knowing the colors), ball, hay.

I have been really busy with softball and daddy and grandma and grandpa, have kept Jett going for me. I finally had time after practice yesterday to play with him outside. He loves being outside and he keeps himself busy.

By the way, these pictures were taken with a broken camera!! So, I was not seeing the pic on the screen and I think I did OK!!
