It has been a pretty low key week this past week. We have all just been trying to get better and get healthy again. Everyday I am feeling better and better. I only really cough a lot in the mornings, besides that it is much better.
Today we had a baby shower for my friend Heather at my house. It was lots of fun to spend time with our girl friends and to celebrate the baby girl that Heather will have in about 5 weeks. Us girls really do need to get together more often. Tony was so good to take Tyler during the shower so I didn't have to worry. He is so good to me.
Tony has been reffing our stakes basketball games and lately he has been getting tons of calls for him to ref for other stakes. It is pretty funny because no one asked him if it was okay for his name to be on a reffing list and he would really rather not ref a bunch of games in stakes he doesn't even know. He is a really good ref and so lots of people want him to do their games. I really like to watch him ref because he is so good and it is fun to watch. Generally someone gets a T when Tony refs, so that is just good fun.
Yesterday Julie came over with her kids and we went to lunch while Tony watched the kids (remember how I said that Tony is so good to me -- he really is!). It was lots of fun for the kids to get to play together and Julie and I had a good time chatting and eating some semi good food. I think that we need to do that more ofter, at least once a month. I will have to talk to Tony and see what he thinks about that since he would be the one stuff with all the kids. I am so lucky to have a husband that loves kids.

How quickly things goes south
On Sunday, Tony wasn't feeling very good and ended up calling in sick on Monday. Then I started feeling like I was getting his cold on Monday. That quickly turned into a bad cold and then I didn't go to work on Tuesday. So then by Wednesday I was doing really really bad. I was coughing up "stuff" and my ears hurts and my head was all stuffed up and I was freezing hot. So hot in side, but freezing out side. So Tony came back from work really early that day and took me to the doctor. He said that I had bronchitis, an ear infection, and a sinus infection. So he gave a an antibiotic and recommended Sudafed for my sinus issues. So, I have been really sick.
Tony, bless his heart, called his work and took today and yesterday off to take care of me and Tyler. I have been in bed for most of this week, but am slowly starting to feel better. I don't cough as much and sound much better. I have found that the Sudafed doesn't really work, so I have just been doing a pain reliever instead. The worst part is at night when it is time to sleep. I can't lay on side or on my back because it makes me cough so bad, so I have been trying to sleep in the LA-Z-BOY and that has helped a little. I know that I am in for the long hall with this cough, but I am just glad that I didn't wait to get into the doctor and start taking medicine. I am also grateful that Tyler is already on an antibiotic so he has avoided this crap. One good thing about pink eye.

Lovely Family Dinner
Yesterday my mom and dad had a birthday dinner for me at their house with my siblings. It was lots of fun. We have all been feeling a little under the weather at my house so it was nice to get out and spend time with the fam. We had a delicious meal and then we opened some presents. Thank you so much to Sherri for the way cute bunny figurings and thanks to Julie for the cute card holder (so creative) and thanks to mom for the fun make up. It was a fun night.
We then had a really good chocolate cake from Costco. It was so rich that a little sliver of cake way totally enough, good stuff. It was lots of fun to spend time just chatting with everyone and enjoying each others company. I love my family so much, every one of them. We all have our own personalities and feelings and I have learned so much from all of my family members. We are far from perfect, but we all love each other! Thanks to my family for thinking about me and making me feel special on my special day. I love you all.

Happy Birthday to me...
And Happy Valentine's Day to all. Most people would like to have a nice relaxing birthday where they get pampered and it is all roses and chocolate (especially when your birthday is on Valentine's Day)...but that is not the kind of day that I have had so far. After having a terrible night last night with Tyler all by my self because Tony was camping with the boy scouts, I have been so tired all day. Tyler decided to not want to sleep and then cried so hard that he threw up (yummy), and then was restless all night. So then, of course, he didn't sleep in at all and was pretty grumpy. I did notice that when he woke up he had a lot of green goop (I'm sure that's the medical term for it) in his eye. So that's not good. I wasn't too concerned about it (even though I should have been) so we went on with our morning like usual.
When I woke up it was snowing pretty good and already had a couple inches on the ground. It snowed until about 11ish. I love the snow and wish it would snow more when it is winter time. I don't really care for the snow when it is suppose to be spring time, however. Any who...so Tony got home about 12:15 and we got ready to go to the temple. We drove Tyler to my mom's (thanks mom for watching him - you're a life saver) and then went to the Jordan River Temple. It was a beautiful ceremony and it was so wonderful to see that cute family be sealed for eternity. We are so blessed to have that opportunity.
After the temple, Tony and I went to lunch and it was really good. Then we went to pick up Tyler and his eye was looking pretty bad. My mom told me that my sister's kids had pink eye this week and that Tyler probably had that too. AWESOME, I thought. So we took him to the Urgent Care and waited for about a hour there before the doctor saw Tyler. By then Tyler didn't want anything to do with any of the medical people and threw a fit when they tried to do anything to him. So the doc said that his ear looked a little red and gave us a prescription for eye drops and Amoxacilion. Isn't that fun!?! Then we came home and Tony gave me some delicious chocolate covered caramel hearts and we have just been hanging out ever sense. Tony did find some cheap Valentine's Day balloons at the store when he got Tylers prescription and Tyler has been having so much fun playing with them.
So with throw up, lack of sleep, temple fun, doctors office, and chilling at home it has been a pretty crazy day. I hope Tyler feels better soon and that life goes back to normal quickly. Birthday dinner at my parents tomorrow should make for an excellent way to end my birthday. Good bye 27 and Hello 28!

Mama needs a break...
Today Tyler decided to take a 10 minute nap. I am sorry, but that is not enough time for me to get any work done, let a lone get a real break from Tyler. That sounds terrible, but I need some time for me to do whatever I need to do. I totally have tons more patience and am a better mom when Tyler takes a good nap and sleeps well at night. Sleeping is a wondering thing.
Tony has to go to Klondike tomorrow. So once he gets home from work tomorrow then he leaves to go camping in the snow (crazy) and then he wont be back until Saturday at noon. It would have been later, but some friends of ours are getting sealed in the temple on Saturday and they invited us to come. So we have to be there at 1:30. We are so happy for them. Getting sealed on Valentines Day, that is so sweet. So Tyler had better take a nap tomorrow or I might go crazy...if I am not already...okay, I am a little bit.

Oh what a fun time
On Saturday I went and saw my little sister, Teagan, in a musical at the Junior High. She did really good and it was fun to go with my family and cheer her on. Kevin took a date, Teagan's math teacher - so funny - and Teagan's little boyfriend was there and he sat in between my mom and Sherri's husband, Richard, during the play. Funny stuff. After the play, we went to Leatherby's and had some ice cream. It was really fun to get to know Kevin's date and Teagan's boyfriend. I guess I talked a little too much to his date and he felt like he didn't get to do much talking. Upps, you know me, I'm a talker.
Okay, so based on Roseanne's recommendation, we have started to do some sleep training with Tyler. Super Nanny suggests putting the kid in the bed and then just putting him back every time he gets out of the bed until he gives up and goes to sleep. Well, Tony did this on Saturday night and it took an hour and a half for Tyler to actually go to sleep. So then on Sunday we tried it again and Tyler was crying a lot, but Tony stayed in the room and Tyler fell a sleep after not too long. Then Monday came and we started him in the bed and then he started to cry and got out of the bed, but then Tony was staying in there (just sitting on his toy chest) and then I went in and sat on Tylers floor (to relieve Tony) and then Tyler feel asleep after about 20 or so minutes. So, long story short we have kind of been doing a softer approach to the Super Nanny thing and just sitting in there with him until he goes to sleep. It will probably take longer for him to fully be able to sleep by him self, but I am okay with that. Especially if it means less screaming.
