Diamonds are a girl's best friend!

I was spoiled this Valentine's Day!!!! Ben got me the diamond earrings that I've been asking for - YAY! I love them and I was completely shocked. He also got me a new cell phone - a Blackberry Curve....which I've also been asking for and absolutely love. I also got a much needed new pair of glasses. I wear contacts but enjoy giving my eyes a rest on the weekends and at night. I've had the same lenses with the original prescription since we got married over 7 years ago. This time Ben got me a cute new pair of frames, too : ) He's so good to me.

I know you're asking yourself...."Where are the bathroom pictures?" Well, our contractor came by the house on Friday, took a look around at our newly remodeled bathroom and now the beautiful tile has to be taken down and done again. The only explanation we were given was "it's just not perfect". We can live with that and understand our 2 week project has just been extended. They start in our master bathroom tomorrow!

Big boy Kevin had his 15 month check up on Friday. He is off the charts in his height - a whopping 34 1/2 inches and 23lbs 10oz for his weight, actually putting him around 50%. He was feeling better and then started with another cough and runny nose. He stayed home tonight with daddy after running a fever this afternoon. Hoping a good night's sleep and Motrin will get him back to normal tomorrow.

Speaking of big boy, Kevin got his first hair cut on Saturday. He looks like such a little man now. I do have pictures but it's getting late and we have lots of stuff to get done for tomorrow....so I'll have to post later. And yes those of you looking at the time on my post, 9:00 is late : )

Where has the time gone?

Take a look at our cute little Valentine this time last year....he was so little!
























I didn't get Valentine pictures taken this year - I'm such a bad mommy. He was sick the weekend I wanted to get them done and Lord have mercy this child needs a hair cut! He's starting to look like a girl : ) After the hair cut, I hope to get Easter pictures done.

Our guest bathroom is done in record time! I will take final pictures today and hope to have them posted this weekend. Get ready to say "WOW"!!!! You won't believe the change.

Quick update

Okay, quick update on my crazy weekend. It started at 10:30pm Thursday, ended at 3:00am Friday leaving the ER - Kevin has an ear infection. Fast forward 3 days - he is still sick. 102-104 fever all weekend. Won't eat, doesn't drink much, sleeps constantly and after a trip to Urgent Care today, he still has an ear infection. Doesn't appear the antibiotic is working like it should.... Ben is staying home with our sick little man tomorrow and I'm calling the Pediatrician. I know it sounds crazy, but I just know he's supposed to be better by now! 3 days of constant fever on an antibiotic just doesn't make sense to me. Apparently it does to the on call nurse and doctor - but they aren't his mama, so in this case, mommy does know best!!!!

I'm exhausted after no sleep Thursday into Friday and taking care of Kevin all weekend. He just breaks my heart being sick and when my constant on the go child is laying on my lap for hours at a time, you know something is wrong. We're just waiting for this to be over to have our fun little boy back.

I have lots of pictures to post since I was reminded at work last week that I haven't posted pictures in forever!!!! I'm on it ladies, just slowly getting there :)-
