Allergic

I took Crew to an Allergist yesterday to finally see what he is really allergic to. Here's a list of the things they tested for:

Dogs: Yes
Cats: No
Feathers: Yes
Eggs: Yes
Peas: Yes
Mold: Yes

The doctor wants me to avoid giving him any eggs period! Even if they are baked, fried, or whatever. He says that is most likely why his eczema is so bad. He also prescribed some steroid cream for that and also an epi-pen in case he has a bad allergic reaction to something. He'll get tested again next year for the same things to see if he's grown out of them or not. Hopefully it's not too hard to have an egg free diet!

30 Years and More

A few weekends ago my sister, sister-in-law, and I threw a surprise 30th Anniversary party for my Mom and Dad. They had no idea! It was so great. All of my dad's family drove in from California and my mom's sister came too! I prepared a video montage of them from childhood till now and there wasn't a dry eye in the room! My sister-in-law also wrote this wonderful poem, it was funny and cute and also a tear jerker! I am just so amazed at how much love my parents still have for eachother after 30 years. I look up to them in so many ways, and I just know that if Chris and I can have one tenth of the love they share, we will be happy forever!

Wanted

I know it's not good to be greedy, and to want irrelevant material things....but I really really really want this book shelf from Ikea! It would go perfectly in my little house!

New Hair-Do!

Sara's in town and we have been keeping busy. We have gone swimming, shopping, to the movies, out to several eateries, and most of all... reading lots of books! We just barely got back from getting our 'hair-did'. We also picked up an awesome glow-in-the-dark puzzle that Sara and Kaylee are putting together.

What a Waste!

This weekend Chris took the kids up to Utah to visit family, and bring back his little sister Sarah. I stayed to hopefully enjoy a nice weekend of peace and quiet. Of course I happened to get sick on Wednesday night from what I thought was food poisening. Come to find out I more than likely have contracted Giardia. I'm not 100% on this, but I will find out tomorrow at the doctors. My brother's dog had Giardia, and we believe gave it to Crew (who hasn't been feeling good either, and I thought just had a cold), and I ended up with this awful virus. So my lovely weekend was ruined, and I have just been lying around in my own misery. On the positive side, I have lost a few pounds!

You leave 'em alone for 5 minutes...


I ran to take a quick shower before work to come out and find Kaylee and Crew taking over my office!

Same ol', Same ol'

We've been staying busy with our normal summer routine getting under-way. We go swimming very often, early morning park visits, kid Movies at the movie theater once a week, play dates, we just started doing t-ball with some other neighborhood kids, and I guess soccer too!

Crew is our little monkey boy, he climbs on everything, uses his walker to get around everywhere (he has taken a few steps on his own recently, but still very nervous about that). He has this car that Santa got him last year and he sits on it and pushes himself around the house. He even steers it! We think he's alot like Chris because he's too lazy to walk and would rather be pushed (it's Chris' dream to own a wheel-chair).

Kaylee is doing great, she is so involved in everything now! (swimming, t-ball, and starting next week soccer!) Her tooth that she got fixed last month went bad, and the dentist ended up having to pull it. I told her that a new tooth will come in where the old one was (in a few years obviously), and everyday she keeps telling me that the new tooth isn't there yet... I don't know how long that will last!


Chris got home from Guatemala on Memorial Day. He had such a great time. He took alot of pictures, but he said that he wants to be the one to blog about it, so I'll leave that up to him. He's back to working, and keeping busy with the kids and Xbox. Not to mention the occasional drooling over all the scopes he's looking at for his new gun! I swear, this never ends!

I'm keeping busy too, I just wrapped up my last session of swim lessons. *Not a big response this summer, maybe next year!* I bought a new car last week and it's amazing! It even has air conditioning in it! I must admit though, I miss driving the buick at times with it's comfortable seats and smooth cushion-y ride. My boss started doing Weight Watchers, and I told her I would do it with her too. We started on Monday and so far so good! I really want to get into shape for the Triathlon in September. (Becca you better be doing it with me! :o) *)
