Steve's Bee Sting

We had quite the exciting day yesterday. On Tuesday afternoon Steve had gotten stung by a stupid little yellow jacket a work- No big deal right? Well that's what we had thought. Tues. night the sting was a bit swollen but nothing more than normal, I'd say half a baseball, he took some benadryl and went to bed. Wed. he woke up to it about the size of a hot dog bun. I called the Dr and they had said really not a big deal, just take benadryl- so Steve took a double dose around 10 am. Noon: Steve came home for lunch and it had swollen almost to his elbow and up through his hand, so bad that he could not bend his wrist. Of course the whole time Steve thinks it's fine and he will just get over it w/ more benadryl. We went to urgent care and waited for 2 hours (I really dislike urgent care), I started to get a bit worried that it was taking so long as I am watching the swelling creep up past his elbow- scary huh. We finally got called back and saw the DR super fast. Poor Steve had to get a steroid shot in his butt and the doc prescribed some steroids to take for the next 5 days. As of 2:30 today the swelling has gone down a little. He is still quite funny with all the benadryl he's got pumping through his body, his hand and arm are still really swollen, but don't look like they are going to pop anymore.

And to think Steve usually gets stung once a year... I am a little sacred of the next time!

These two were taken as we were loading up into the car to go to Urgent care... Look at the hand.After the shot :)

Date Night

A few weeks ago Steve and I started our Thursday night dates. We decided to picnic up at Big Bear Lake and go fishing. It was so cold, so we only lasted for about an hour and a half. We got some coffee and just sat and caught up with or comings and goings. Unfortunately the past 2 weeks Steve has had to work during the weeknights, but next week is so on, and I can hardly wait.

We would love some great date ideas, so please help us.

Just leave your great ideas as a comment.

Hugemongo IN-N-Out Misunderstanding

I am very sorry to say that the post below is some sad joke! Sorry no super cheapo in-n-out for us- oh well full price is still great too. Sorry If we've mislead anyone. All of the guys up here were super bummed about it. What kind of mean person would get one's hopes up like that? Meanies!

To all you In-N-Out lover's (Like Us)

In-n-Out’s 60th Year Anniversary is Wednesday, October 22nd.

All hamburgers will be sold for 25 cents, Cheeseburgers 30 cents, Fries 15 cents, and drinks are 10 cents!!! So mark your calendars!

A quick note.

Only in Southern California can I be freezing my butt off one day, and be in shorts and flip flops the next- this is just crazy. I am ready for it to start getting cold, but this new day of heat is driving me bonkers!

Curly haired boy...

I have been waiting (not very patiently) to see if one day our little boy would have beautiful curls in his hair like his daddy... I think the day is finally here! I have been seeing that his hair gets curly on the ends after he gets out of the bath for a couple months now. So yesterday I decided to put some curl product into his hair and viola! Isn't he so cute. Now I think that any part of me in him is down the drain- he is 100% his dad.

Unfortunately the curl fell out after half the day, but maybe when it gets a bit longer.

Sammy's Ear Tube Surgery

Yippee For us! yes we truly are very excited about this. We met with an ENT yesterday and discussed, well actually there was not much discussion, it was really just to hear what the Dr though about Sammy getting tubes in his ears. All four Dr.'s (UCLA, Ped., our specialist, and the Ent) all hands down were routing for it. Our Pediatrician actually had said that if the ENT tried to discourage the tubes to have him call her immediately. The UCLA Dr is hoping that by taking his monthly ear infections out of the equation that it will allow his body to start to build up his IGG levels. It is great to have such a great medical team behind us. So surgery is set for Sept 19. Please pray that we will be the first ones in. We will not know until the day before when surgery time will be, and Sammy cannot eat/drink after midnight the night before. I can already anticipate the fight that it will be. Thanks again to all for keeping Sammy's health in your prayers.
