Monday!

Kevin had his Well Checkup today.  His "New" Ped has a son that has Nut allergies, he "Gets" it.........It is so hard not keeping your child in a bubble when they have so many allergies......Home is safe......On the outside, I may seem pulled together, but on the inside my mind is working overtime being aware of everything around us.....I am scared, I am scared of letting go...letting him go to school...I am scared.....I just feel like crying about this.  He asked me again today, if he will ever be able to have a nut, and I said, "No, Never."  He then said, "Mama, can you have nuts?"  ...and I said, "No, Kevin, we are in this together."

Sonic Wall Decal :)

Sonic Cake :)

Sonic Birthday Party!

Hi!

I have been getting ready for Kevin's birthday!  I don't know how it happened but I am going to attempt to make a Sonic cake...LOL.  I tried ordering one local, but that did not work out...so, it is now up to me...I will definitely take pictures for you to see.  I just hope it will semi resemble that little hedgehog ;)

We did our shopping today so I think I have everything I need, so tomorrow I will be busy in the kitchen getting ready for his party on Saturday.  You all have a blessed Evening XO XO

Oh, and there are a few comments you all left that I am going to respond too...All of you that stop by my little blog offer me so much support and inspire to be a better person!!  Yes, you all do...and I just want to let you know your comments are all read and appreciated, THANK YOU!!!

Good Morning!!

Happy Morning!

Epi Pen

This is what the Epi Pen pack looks like.  You get two in a pack and a practice one.  I carry this with me at all times.  Wherever my little boy is his Epi Pen is right there too.  I am forever grateful we have a pen like this that can save his life, it has been with me for over 4 years now.  They expire, so I have to get new ones once a year.  They are 30 dollars with insurance and 300.00 with out.  I asked the pharmacist how much it was without insurance and when he said 300.00, I was shocked!

Anyway, I thought I would share this for those who have never seen one. 

My Birdy Feeder :)

 I just love birds :)

Now, I just need to get some humming bird feeders :)

Sunday :)

Well......

On Friday I took Kevin to the allergist.  There was a 10 percent chance that he would outgrow his Nut allergy.  Sadly that did not happen.  I have to say that was a very hard pill to swallow.  They did the poke test on his back, and while he was a trooper..I knew immediately that things weren't looking good when the right side of the pokes all swelled up.  I wanted to scream...Yes, I really did.  For a split second I was mad.  I did not scream though, I held in my feelings.  I smiled and told my little boy as I held him, how very proud of him I am.  I know it must have been scary, the fear of the unknown.  He asked me, Mama, will I ever be able to eat a nut, and I said, plainly, No, Never.  It is a way of life, one we have been living for many years and we will continue.  I thank God everyday for all our many blessings.  I work hard everyday instilling in him what he can and can not eat, and he is smart!!  He knows :)

Don't ask, Don't Tell...Tag!

Breast!!!  If I had a dollar for every woman that told me she could not breast feed, I would be very wealthy! (I do know there are exceptions) I totally agree, that formula should be given out as a prescription...not given as a choice so easily.  OH, and the women that say they want their husband to share in the feedings....There is a reason why God did it this way..Father's can offer so many wonderful things to their child...it doesn't have to be formula.

Tomato Plant!

I bought this tomato plant today.  It has soooo many tomatoes already.  As most of you know, I am not that great of a gardener, but I do try....This has to work...LOL..The work has all been done :)

Coming up.....

I am planning Kevin's 6th birthday!

Can you believe he is turning 6...it seems just like yesterday, he was an itty, bitty baby :)

This is me 9 months pregnant with Kevin just a few days before he was born :)

I nursed him for about 2 years...I highly recommend nursing your baby :)  It's a good thing!

Saturday Post!

One of my errands this week was a trip to Whole Foods!!  I don't think I have to tell you how much I love, love, love that place!!!


One of the food items I bought was these little Spinach Snacks.

Lil' Kevin and I really liked them.

This is what they look like out of the box.
You broil them for 8 minutes, and viola, they are done.  I served them with dinner.

We also had lunch there too.  I had Tofu (it was breaded and seasoned)..It was sooooo good. I also had a side a Kale.  They have a buffet bar, so I put all sorts of things on my plate for Kevin to try.  His favorite was the pizza...LOL...

I also got some Wheat Grass at another health food store in pots, (thrilled about that one...LOL)

For dinner tonight we had grilled steak, baked potatoes and salad :)

Hope you all had a lovely Saturday, and a great week and I hope tomorrow brings you much happiness.  Enjoy tomorrow, it is the Lord's Day!!

XO XO

On the News!

I am posting this picture, before I forget.  We had thunder storms and Tornado watches and warnings on Thursday night.  I snapped this picture while the news was on.  I don't know if I will get used to Tornado Warnings.  Between you and me, they scare me!!

New Sectional :)

Good Morning and Happy Friday :)
The new sectional arrived, and this is what it looks like in our living room :)
I love it!

The storms were pretty bad yesterday, I am very thankful we have a basement to go into....

Yesterday, we were gone for the most part of the day and then I baked a lot the latter half.

Today I have to drop off the baked goods to MIL's charity for helping Kitty Cats.  She does so much for our furry friends :)

I took out some ground beef for dinner.....
I hope you all have a wonderful Friday!
Today should be another lovely day.

Wednesday!

I am super excited.  Look at what is coming today!
Over the weekend we went looking for new sofas, and we picked out this new sectional.  I will take pictures once it is in our living room. 
Happy Day!

"Hope Chest"

I want to share my new hope chest with you all:) The memories I plan to put in there for my children :) If you notice the wheat in the middle...the two middle wheat strands are Kevin and I, and then the four wheat strands around the two middle are Kendra, Tony, Alexis and Kevin Jr. :)
