Looks like I'll be chillaxin indoors for the next lil bit. I got a project idea for my front porch patio furniture. So I am excited to start that only problem is I searched the whole valley yesterday for new seat cushions. Anyone have any suggestions on where you can get some inexpensive cushions for outdoors. Being the germ a phobe that I am mildew resistant fabric would be ideal. I was thinking if I couldn't find any I would cover the ones I have with new fabric or a cute shower curtain. I'll take before and after pics....

Cystas Unite!

YAY!!! I am SO glad I got to finally got to meet my Cysta Aimee (click on her name to check out her blog). Aims lives in San Diego but is from Utah so she came home to visit fam. We were able to meet up at starbucks, and had a blast!! She is wearing her Love to Breathe necklace, she's a proud supporter, she loves to give them as gifts. Thanks Aims! I can't wait til next time you get to come home for our new tradition ;)

Leave him Alone!

Yes Patty, knock on wood I have never been stung by a bee, hornet, or wasp. To me they are all same and equally as scary. I am so scared of them and for some reason they always seem to find me. I once gave a wasp a 10 min ride on my shoulder unknowingly until someone was so kind to point it out well in between shrills almost fainting I was unharmed. They even seem to find me in the winter I have no idea...

I did read "The Secret Life of Bees" and in that book they described the creatures as angels or lil guardians so maybe that is what bees are for me my lil guardians.

Oscar on the other hand is not so lucky. Well if you remember back in April when I went to the Er and the next day Osc had to go to the ER. Well he was stung then, and again last Wed. I woke up to one itchy pug with a swollen eye. I thought not again, I gave him a benedryl and I think I caught just in time. He only got about three hives total rather then a whole body fully covered in big itchy hives. So I stayed home and worked on a painting so I could monitor his breathing. I gave him a benedryl every 6 hours and his eye returned to normal size and low and behold we made it without a trip to the ER.

Well most of you know Oscar has anxiety and is already a very sensitive pup. I think today the emotionally scars have finally healed. My poor lil guy was so scared of the grass and ground. He is back to following my every step but not without a thorough search of the ground he is about to embark on. The first night he wouldn't leave the couch so I made the most comfy bed for him and he would jump from furniture to furniture.

His poor lil swollen and itchy face. I found the bump right on his ear no wonder his eye got swollen.

This one makes me so sad you can even see some redness.

Here he is on the toilet... No he's not potty trained just scared of the ground

GRRRRR!

Monday, Monday...

Ok so I know I have been so bad at blogging I just have been busy busy!!

So we all know my cute not so lil nephew popped out. I have been loving on him every chance I get he is absolutely perfect. He is already wearing 3 month onezies and didn't even fit into newborn diapers, NFL watch out!

Well while the fam was off to the joint poppin out River I got to watch Makena I had her wed night til Sat. Let me just say mother's day should be ever day. I don't know how you guys do it. Oscar and Lilly have never had more fun they love their cousin. Lills and Osc followed her every move and were so sad when they had to go to bed. Oscar slept right in the door way of my room he was her lil protector.

Wed night Makena made a big mess with all the dog toys so I told her to clean it up and if she did she could turn on my oxygen :) It worked! It was so cute we went to turn on my O2, my concentrator is in the basement so Lilly went down the stairs first then Makena would get to the stair Lills was on then Lills would go down a couple more and wait. It was so fun to watch the babies around Makena.

Makena was so good for me and honestly was a laugh a minute. The things she says crack me up here are just a couple;

Aunt Somer: Makena I am hungr should we make popcorn?

Makena: YES! But don't tell my Mom or Dad k It will just be our lil secret

Aunt Somer: Why can you not have popcorn?

Makena: Of course I can

Before the shower

Aunt Somer: Lets go potty first

Makena: I don't have to go

Aunt Somer: Well let's just try

Makena: (as she points to the shower and tilts her head with a sly look) You know it's ok if I just go in there

In bed

Makena: Aunt Somer let's tell pooky stories ok ( pooky is spooky)

She uses Of course and actually all the time. She is SO funny! We had a blast we went to coffee and yogurt. Don't worry she had choc milk even tho she pretended it was hot coffee :)

I had to run and get more vitamins down at USANA and she fell in love with the waterfall in the lobby she thought it was the coolest thing ever.

We found a dandelion that you blow on and make a wish and her wish was that she could go to Aunt Somer's every day.... How cute is that it melted my heart.

Well I had a brilliant idea.. Thanks to Brooke I was able to borrow one of her old car seats so now I can pick up Makena and give Tam a break while she is on her busy feeding regime with River cause thats all he like to do. Eat and sleep!

Here are some pics from my time being mom...
