A J.T. Hangover for sure!!

I have a major hangover right now!! My throat's raw, my ear's are ringing, and my booty's still shaking! Can I just say, "J.T. is the BEST ever"!!!! It was incredible. Let me start from the beginning. . .

Middle of December-
Shauna: "Doug, will you look online and see if J.T. is coming to Denver?? I really want to go."
Doug: "I don't see a date for Denver, but he's going to be in Anaheim when all of you are there."
Shauna: Screaming, grabbing the phone, and dialing Lisa. Still screaming, "Lisa, oh my gosh (you get the picture).
Lisa: Screaming "I'm so in!! Call Cara, Heather, and cousin Emily!!"
Shauna: Screaming "I'm going to call Fergi for sure and Suzanne and Jen. This is going to be the BEST ever." Calling Fergi: "I'm so in! I can't wait to bring sexy back!!" Calling Suzanne and Jen: "We're in!" Calling Cara: After some convincing "Yeah, I guess." Calling Heather: After some MAJOR convincing (it will be so worth the money to see Lisa go crazy and how can you say no to Emily) "Yeah, I guess."
Lisa: "Dave has Emily for Christmas, so this will be the perfect gift! She is going to die at Christmas! This will be the best ever!"
Shauna: Still screaming and soooooooo EXCITED!!!
Doug: Speechless. From December to January-
Shauna and Lisa: Still screaming!!
Fergi, Suzanne, and Jen: Excited!
Cara and Heather: On the fence about going. "Hey Matt, do you want to buy my ticket??"
Emily: Texting her friends, Im going to JT

Now to Tuesday, January 9, 2007 around 5:00 pm-
Shauna: "What am I going to wear?"
Lisa: "I can't pull off the pony tail and I don't have any sassy shoes."
Heather: "I can't get this headband end. Shouldn't you 2 be feeding your children."
Fergi: "I'll meet you at Cara's house."
Suzanne and Jen: "We'll meet you at the concert."
Cara: "I'm just driving home from work and will meet you at the house. I'm tired."
Dave: "When did I agree to watch the 3 kids????!!!!"
Shauna and Lisa: "Bye!!!!!"
Heather: "Poor Dave. Can someone help with this headband??"

Between 6 and 7 pm: meeting at Cara's, driving to the concert, and picking up Emily in a random parking lot-
Lisa telling Aunt Shauna: "Yeah, I don't know when it will be over, but we'll take good care of Emily."
Aunt Shauna: "Remember, some of you are mothers now!"
Lisa and Shauna: "Dave has the kids right now, not us!!
Emily: "See you later Mom!"

Heather: "Emily, I love your leggings!"

Most of us excited, some not so much!!
Lisa: "We should have put J.T. in the car."

3 girls behind us driving in a convertible bug: BLASTING J.T. and dancing!!
Lisa and Shauna: Soooooo jealous because we're in a rented Buick minivan!!!
Cara: Embarrassed!

Parking, walking to the concert, and making our way through security-

Cara: "Does anyone want to buy my ticket?"

Sidenote: The security line was insane. It literally wrapped around the entire Honda Center. We found a back way and made our way to security to find out, NO CAMERAS.

Lisa: Holding the purse with 3 cameras in it- "Do you need to check my bag?" Looking so guilty. Why did we have her hold the purse???

Security: "You need to take those back to your car." Not paying attention to us any longer.

Shauna: "Lisa, give me the bag, QUICK!" Walked into the concert.

Meeting up with Jen and Suzanne and finding our seats:

J & S: "This is insane, where are you guys? We've seen some pretty interesting outfits!"

Shauna: "I'll meet you with the tickets."

J & S: "We made it!!!"

Suzanne: "I have your Christmas present for you."

Shauna: Screaming "This is the best ever!!! I'm putting it on right away."

Suzanne: "I bought this the day before you called about the concert."

Shauna: "You were inspired for sure!"

Everyone: Walking and walking to our seats. We were 1 row from the very back-oh well!

Opening Act: PINK

Everyone: She was sooooooooooooooo good. "Stupid Girl" was our favorite!

Cara: Starting to shake it a bit!

Justin Timberlake's Future Sex/ Love Sounds-

Everyone: Screaming, screaming, screaming, dancing, dancing, dancing!!!!!!!

Cara and Heather: Shaking it like a polariod picture with the hugest smiles!!

Favorites: "Senorita"- Lisa, Cara, Heather, and Emily, "Cry Me a River"- Fergi, "Gone"- Suzanne, Timberland bee bopping during intermission- Shauna, "My Love"- Cara and Jen, "Sexy Back"- EVERYONE!!!!!

It really was the most insane concert ever. His stage was amazing and it's unbelievable to me that he can play the piano and guitar, sing, dance, and just be so dang cute the entire time. Lisa was the biggest fan of his smile. Check out the video, hard to hear and see, but you'll get the idea!

Driving home at about 12:30 am-

Suzanne, Jen, Cara, and Fergi: So happy, but tired- work in the morning!

Emily: "That was the best. I can't believe I have seminary and school in the morning- YUCK!"

Lisa, Shauna, and Heather: Recapping the entire concert, hungry for food, and still singing the songs.

Feeling Guilty

I'm feeling guilty. I have been in CA since the 27th and before that we were celebrating the holidays with Doug's family, so I have neglected my blog. I don't get back to CO until the 14th, but thought I would write a short entry while I wait for Jaden to wake-up from his nap. Everyone else is down at the beach and I am "patiently" waiting for Jaden to wake-up. I thought I should make sure he got a nap in since Dave (my brother-in-law) is watching the kids so we (a group of crazy girls) can go to JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE tonight!! We are so excited for the concert. As one of my previous posts stated "I brought sexy back" in CO, but tonight will be the true test. Here are a few pictures I found on my sister's computer. I will download my pics when I get back to CO. Enjoy and Happy belated New Year!!

Jaden loves riding Audrey's razorWaiting for the Rose Parade to start- I can't wait to blog about this!!!

Got SNOW?? Part 2

We took advanatge of all the powder and went snowshoeing through the neighborhood yesterday. It was such a blast. Jaden loved the snow. My sister Heather reminded me that Tues. night I told her there might be a blizzard and I said, "Yeah right." She told me I should go to the store and get some things. Well, I went to the store today (we finally could get out of our neighborhood- they still haven't plowed because they are so backed up) and there wasn't any milk, lettuce, cheese, etc. It was unreal. I've never seen anything like it. This has really opened my eyes to the reality of food storage- one of my New Years resolutions for 2007!!

Snowshoeing and helping Doug shovel the driveway.

Got SNOW??

We sure do!!! I'm sure you have heard on the News about the blizzard that is dumping on CO. It started early Wed. morning and hasn't let up. They have shut down all of the freeways, the airport is closed (perfect for holiday traveling- so sad), and bummer for all of those last minute shoppers- they're not going anywhere. We were supposed to have some friends over for dinner and their car got stuck pulling out of their driveway and they only live 2 minutes away from us- CRAZY!!! Check out our pictures.

Yesterday (12/20/06) at 2:00 PM- notice the wall

Today (12/21/06) at 9:00 AM- what wall!

TO BE CONTINUED. . .

"Ski"sons Greetings!

If you missed last weeks episode of The Office, SHAME on you!! We really are obsessed with it. I think the more times you watch it, the funnier it is. I literally fell off the couch because I was laughing so stinkin' hard! I love Michael, I love Angela, I love Jim, I love Dewight, I love the Asian girls, I love Toby, I love the Christmas goose, I love everything about that show. I can't wait to go to CA because my sister is bringing The Office DVDs and we are so having The Office marathon. If any of you don't watch it, you are missing out. It is my duty to advise you to rent the DVDs. You will become a true Dunder Mifflin groupie. By the way, did any of you see Justin Timberlake on SNL- soooooooo HILARIOUS!!

Burritos y Arroz Con Leche

It's 1:33 am and I have been trying to sleep, however, Jaden has been crying on and off for the last hour. I think he's pulling molers. Doug is drugged up on Percocet and this was our converstaion when I tried to go to bed (sidenote: Doug has been known to talk in his sleep and I have been known to egg him on to see what he'll say):

Doug: "Sorry he's keeping you up."

Shauna: "I think he's getting his molers."

Doug: "I'm getting a burrito."

Shauna: "Really, from where?"

Doug: "The local Tacoqueria."

Shauna: "Where's that?"

Doug: "In South Dakota."

Shauna: "What kind of a burrito?"

Doug: "A fatty one."

Shauna: "What will you have to drink?"

Doug: "Arroz con leche."

Shauna: "Wow!!"

Doug: ASLEEP!

Shauna: Laughing

Jaden: Still crying- poor guy!

A barber, a baby, an assistant, and a kidney infection

This is a story of a barber, a baby, an assistant, and a kidney infection. . .

The barber has a kidney infection, yet the baby needed a cut badly, so the assistant tried to distract the baby with a lotion tube so no ears would be snipped.
The baby wasn't having it, so the assistant tried a hair brush. The barber continued to work eventhough he was in pain as the Percocet began to wear off.The assistant tried a toothbrush and it worked like a gem. The barber worked and worked and worked. No ears were snipped and the baby had very clean teeth.
The barber is recovering from his sickness, the baby is happy with his new do, and the assistant had to clean-up all the hair.
The End

Hawaii or Colorado?

My sister Cara and her boyfriend Joe came to visit us Wednesday. They were debating to go to Hawaii or come see us and ski in Colorado. Well, they came to see us. We don't have the beach or the warm weather right now, but we do have snow and great mountains to ski on. We had such a great time together. We did a little shopping, went Downtown, introduced them to The Office, ate a lot of Mexican food, hit the slopes in Breckenridge, got woken up a number of times by Jaden, cruised around Vail, sat in the hot tub, and got a tan- well raccoon eyes- not exactly a Hawaii tan. I think they made a great choice to come see us!! We had a wonderful time with them.
