SO much to catch up on...

I'll try to be brief...

Wednesday night I knew my throat was acting up again, and I knew I needed to get in to the the Doc ASAP especially before the 3 day weekend.

I made an appointment, and of course tested neg. for strep and he told me it was allergies & gave me three different allergy medicines to take.  BOO.  I knew they weren't gonna work.  

We already had plans to eat lunch with some HS friends @ Chili's so we headed that way after my appointment.

Ryder was so good the whole time!  He always is...haha!  The boys asked me if he was just happy or was I strict?--I said a little bit of both!

Cliff, Ryder & Dustin!

Aunt Kathy had been here all week with Papa John being in the hospital and we went to eat at Outback that night because everyone was just so worn out.  We hardly ever go there so it was a nice change!  Ryder LOOOOVES when you put him on top of your head! He was grabbing dad's ears & it was TOO funny!

He is walking EVERYWHERE these days with someone's help of course...

I LOVE my sweet boy!

Friday night I was MISERABLE.  My throat hurt SO bad.  I couldn't eat, drink or hardly swallow.  Saturday morning when I woke up I just went straight back to bed, and my parents took care of Ryder al morning.  I really thought that it would start to improve soon, but it never did and at 2 I told my mom we needed to go to the ER...I had had this type of thing before and could feel the abscess flopping around and moving side to side in my throat.  Of course Memorial Day Weekend the ER is FULL of people, but oh well.  I was so miserable...I did not care!

After about 5 hours in there they called in a ENT and I had to have it drained.  It was 10x worse than childbirth I swear, well childbirth wasn't bad to me, so this was BAAAAD.  He "tried" to numb it but he didn't do such a good job!  He told me it was the worst one he had seen and I needed my tonsils out ASAP!

All the meds I am currently on...UHHH...so thankful I don't have to do this everyday for my whole life like alot of people!

Saturday night after feeling like a NEW person, I decided to go see my long lost Roomie the next day!  She had been in Africa for three weeks, and I had missed just talking to her much less seeing her!  We had a great visit, and caught up on a lot of things...HERE & THERE!  Monday we went over to the Kluck's for lunch & got to see 6 day old baby Cayden!  He was SO tiny, but Allie kept telling me, Ryder was this small once!  So weird to think about!  We went out on the lake after that for some sun, but we didn't last very long!  TOO hott and TOO many boats!  HA!

Allie with baby Cayden!

He was BEAUTIFUL!

I was ready to get home to my Punkin last night!  He was so glad to see me and I was him!  He just grinned & grinned & grinned!  It was like he had forgotten about me, and was fine, but then when he saw me he was like OH YEAH!  THERE YOU ARE!  I HAVE MISSED YOU!  

While getting his lunch together to go have lunch with Pops I found him IN THE DISHWASHER.  I had to take a picture...but told him not to tell his KeeKee I let him do that.  It will NOT happen again though on my watch!  HA!

We have found a new things he likes...lemons!  He will just suck on them, and it does not bother him a bit!  He got mad when I took it away from him and it was time to go!  Ha!  

While typing this out...I got a call from my Doctor's office with lab results saying I was tested positive for Mono.  WHO KNEW?  lol...they said I was on the downhill side of things, and to just stay away from contact sports (that's not a problem!)  HA!  I could have had this for up to a year...but hopefully it will be over with soon.  

...new shoes!

My sweet lil boy!  I am so lucky that he is such a happy little baby!

All his little sandals have gotten too small, so I found him some new ones today at Target, and I put them on him when we got home, and they didn't seem to bother him at all!

He definitely has his daddy's toes!

I LOVE YOU!

Crawlin' away from mama & the camera....of course!  I say "No No" when he crawls out of the room, and that just makes him crawl faster!  Then I go and pick him up to bring him back and he just LAAAAUUUGHS!

last few days...

Punkin' played outside while I painted a few things a few days ago...he LOVES being outside!  I gave him a stick to play with (that's what's in his hand!)

Morgan came over to workout one afternoon..and he would not leave her alone!  It was so cute & funny, I had to pause my workout to get a pic!  HAHA!

Mom & I grilled out on Saturday night and Punkin' had just woken up from a nap (hence the hair!) & we let him roam around on the patio before dinner.  I caught him put a rock or two in his mouth, but must have missed the leaf he ate that he ended up choking on later.  Mom had to hit his back pretty hard to get it out.  I was one scared Mama!

My sweet lil always-movin' Punkin'!

I am done making my baby food for now!  We will see how long it lasts!  I made carrots, apples, pears, sweet potatoe & a lil mixture of sweet potatoe & pears!  He is doing alot better eating it now...except for the carrots.  I guess their still a little too chunky for him!

Grey's deserves it's own post tonight....

WARNING:  If you have not watched the Season Finale of Grey's Anatomy...do not proceed with this post.  But come back after you've watched it!  =)


















So...my thoughts!  (Besides OMG!)

-I called Mr. Clark being the shooter since last weeks sneak peek.
-I only thought that like ONE person was going to get shot, not TWENTY!
-Yang is always so full of herself, and I hate it, but she wasn't this week...the ONE week when she needed to be!  But she pulled through & did what we all knew she could!
-Meredith LOVES Derek!  She was so brave to say what she did...(being pregnant no less)
-I balled when she was having a miscarriage.
-I teared up when Charles Percy died.
-Bailey is such a good actress....SO good!
-I would have probably lied and said I was a nurse if I was a surgeon too.
-No...I probably would have been one of those stupid people to tell him he shouldn't be here, and try & make him follow the rules, and just get shot!  HA!
-I was so mad at that April girl...she is so dumb.  DUMB.  DUMB.  DUMB.
-Derek is SO fine.  Period.
-I really thought he wasn't gonna get shot there for a second.
-I didn't really care one way or the other concerning who Owen picked, but I guess I'm glad he picked Yang.
-By no means am I for lesbianism, but I was kinda glad Arizona & Callie got back together.
-I knew Arizona would want to have kids after she protected that lil girl.
-We all know Izzie's not coming back to the show, but I kinda wish she was since Alex "saw" her.
-I think Lexie will stay with Alex, but it will be an "iffy" relationship because of what he said about Izzie.
-I think deep down inside Lexie wants to go back to Sloan & be his wife.
-I wish she would, but I think she's too scared.
-When Owen started acting all funny in the scrub room to Mer & April, I SO called the shooter being in the OR.
-I guess Reed & Percy didn't have much of a purpose on the show anyways...?
-Where was Bailey's b/f?  I heard he signed with another show anyways...
-Part of me doesn't like Chief Webber, but then part of me is proud of him.
-I wonder if Mer will tell Derek that she WAS pregnant?
-This finale wasn't NEAR as sad as last years...I balled and balled & BALLED & BALLED & BAAAALLLLED!  (Being pregnant didn't help!)
-That hospital is gonna be PRETTY messed up next season...hospital meaning the staff.  PTSD.
-I thought I had anxiety before, now I'm really going to be freaked out.
-I know "it's just a show" but maybe hospitals should have guns here & there?  Just a thought.
-Avery is a hott doctor, and was SO smart to save all their lives.
-I really thought Owen was gonna get Mr. Clark there for a second.
-I wish Mr. Clark hadn't have been a coward so he could have suffered.

Can't wait for next season!

...ramblings!

-so...I made homemade baby food yesterday for the first time.  I wish I would have started taking pics from the beginning, but I didn't.  Here are some pics from after I cooked the carrots, cut them up & pureed them and slopped them into super easy/cool silicon square ice cube trays I'm SO glad I found at TJMaxx!

I let them freeze over night...2 bags of whole carrots.

Popped the cubes out & into a zip lock bag..

Dated 'um & threw them in the fridge!  We'll see how lil man likes them @ lunch!  =)

-I tried on a bikini for the first time last night, and of course I don't look like I used to, but it's not going to be as hard to go to the pool as I thought this summer!  Maybe a few more weeks of good working out, and I'll loose a few pinches here & there!

-It's a rainy nasty day outside!  We probably won't be leaving the house!

-Mom & I went to Target last night to get a new house phone...did we get one?  No.  Did we even stop to look at them?  No...of course we got distracted by everything else!  HA!

-Lil Punkin' has taken a morning AND afternoon nap all week!  YIPPEE!!

-He has started to stand on his own (not holding on to anything) for a FEW short seconds until he plops down!

-He is doing sooo good saying "BYE BYE"!  When you say it, he automatically says it back & waves!

-We're working on "MA-MA" & nodding YES next!

-I can't wait to take him to the beach in July!

-His wardrobe is ALL set for the beach...mine is not.  I'll be working on that!

-I hope we can enjoy the sandy beaches & water..if the oil doesn't damper the experience.

-I never mentioned my mom backing my car up into my brother's car.

-Mine is messed up pretty bad, but his could be fixed with spray paint.

-We found out since their on the same insurance there is no deductible and we can get them fixed!  WAHOO!

-I'm meeting with the appraiser later today!

-Punkin' needs some new sandals...his are all too small!

-Someone gave me the bright idea to subscribe to a cooking magazine...HUMMMM!
