Doing great!

So bently went in this morning at 7:45, he was done by 7:55, and back to me by 8:10. He was kind of groaning a little but as soon as i gave him a bottle he put his death grip on it and was happy. about 10 minutes later he was awake and talking. We left at 8:30 and he is doing great. Already i can see a little difference. He isn't walking like a drunk man as bad, and he is talking like crazy. And to think that there may be a night in the near future that i won't be up with a bawling child. Oh sweet thoughts!! I am so glad that we did this. So far best decision ever.

Happy Bday Blake!!

Today is blakes 27th birthday. We had as much fun as you can have on a monday night. I made Avocado, Swiss Chicken sandwhiches... then for blake's "cake" i made homemade oreo's (thank you Peggy for the recipe). Which believe it or not he loved... SUCCESS.

I just wanted to say a couple of things that i love about blake.

(Sick picture i know, but this the other love of his life.)

He is my rock. He keeps me sane, and occasionally makes me go insane. He is amazing with our kids and loves them so much. He is the hardest worker in the world, and i know that he would do whatever he had to make sure that we don't go without. He is very thoughtful, and makes me laugh all the time. I love his sense of humor and his witty jokes. I am so glad that he is my husband.

So heres to 60+ years together. Love you blake.

PS... our little bently is going in for surgery on thursday. I took him into the surgeon today and he has another ear infection. He has a high fever and is so sick. The dr said that he wants to get him in as soon as possible. So Thursday is the soonest. He is getting tubes in both ears. The dr also told me that his ears are so bad that if we didn't do anything that there would be a huge possibility that he would have a severe speech defect and possible hearing loss. Yes my eyes widened when i heard this. I was skepitcal of tubes, (i didn't know alot about them, just horror stories) but he made me feel like it is the best thing for bently. and that is what matters. So hopefully luck will be on our side and this will help our little guy feel better.

Forebber.

Brody: Dad we can always be friends forebber.

Blake: ok buddy

Brody: yeah forebber.

A before bed conversation.

Completion!!! feels pretty good.

So this isn't the best picture, but i was to excited to keep trying. For my birthday, my wonderful husband bought me a NEW sewing machine. It was a total surprise!!

So since then I have been itching to sew something new. I found this really cute hot pink polka dot flannel @ Walmart. So i bought it and have been looking for something to go with it for a while. So i found some cute fabric yesterday and whipped this up. This is my first quilt (other than rag quilts) that i have completely finished, binding and all. I will be keeping this due to the fact that I messed up a bit on the binding. Practice makes perfect right? But i think it is so stinking cute. I love doing new projects now. More to come!!

I have a confession...

I have a serious addiction. My family is already aware of this. And i am sure i am going to be judged by those who frown upon this impulsive action but......

I am 100% addicted to the DI (aka Deseret Industries)

Lately i have totally scored there.

This shirt was brand new with the tags still on. I wore it on saturday hence the wrinkledness.

Brand new 8x8 scrapbook. It was still in the box. Made by Memories. These cost $20 bucks at least. i got mine for $2.00

Little Gap sweat pants for bently. Perfect condition.

And this my friends is the kicker. Drum roll please.

I found a DOLCE & GABBANA purse. yes my friends that is what i said

freaking adorable. oh ps i paid $3.00 What crazy person would drop this off at the di. Probly someone who has 20 of them.

Other than my recent findings at the DI there has been a lot of this...

and this...

going on at my home. This time of the season is hard for Brody. His asthma is really bad due to the allergens in the air. We got some other medicine to help control it, but i wish he would start to grow out of this. It absolutely terrifies me. Not being able to do something for your child is horrible. And to depend on the medicine 100% is so hard. But the new stuff is working so hopefully some time this week i will get a full nights sleep.

Did you hear that Jason the killer is missing?!!!!?

Oh wait, I found him at my house.

And currently i am housing him, and feeding him.

TOO FUNNY.

for those who are wondering. i have had lots of emails saying that they couldn't log on to my blog. Even my family is having a hard time. so dumb. so that is why i went public again.
IS this only happening to me??

my bent

Have you ever heard of

those kids who catches EVERYTHING??

That is my stinking cute bently. He has been struggling with ear infections for about two months. He has been on two different antibiotics and now has "fusions". Needless to say we are on the last straw and using ear drops. If in a week they are still hurting him then TUBES it is. Even though he has been having some rough nights he is the most adorable thing ever. His personality has just blossomed this last month. I have taught him please and thank you. peas and day do... i mean. But now when you give him a snack he will say "day do" and it just makes me smile. He is so adorable. I am hoping that this will be the last of our ails as spring is approaching.

Wonder why he is always so sick? (his mom was the same way) And they say the more kids you have the more often your kids are sick. get better bently.
