Memorial Day

So yesterday was Memorial Day and John, Tyler and I went to the Riverside National Cemetary to check out his grandpa's site and my dad's site. It was pretty cool to see american flags flying everywhere in honor of all the veterns. Some markers didn't have any flags, I don't know if certian sections were sponsored with flags or what. Because all the american flags that are placed on each gravesite are donated, nothing is given by the government (surprising?). It was cool to see that my dad's and John's grandpa's section was blanketed with the american flag. It's pretty ironic that John's grandpa and my dad were in the same tech 5 in the US army. We both don't know what that means though. I'm sure tech 5 was a big group. We often wonder if they knew each other.
Tyler was enjoying all the flags and all the motorbikes that were going by. He saw a marker without a flag and put a flag we brought on the gravesite. So precious.
I was telling him about my dad, his "pappy" and how proud pappy would have been of him. When we were leaving I said to say bye to pappy...he kissed his hand and said "muah" on his gravesite. I tell ya, just when you think your kid doesn't really understand, he does.
John's grandpa's gravesite is like 7 rows over...they died within a month in a half of each other.

The big D!




SO we went to Disneyland (love having passes) on Sunday afternoon. Had a blast. You think I would have a boring time at the big D being with child. But I went on every ride. Well of course they were the kiddie rides like Mr. Heimlichs choo choo train at California adventure. We also went to the tiki room. Huge favorite amoungst the little one. But it was fun!

We actually saw the parade. I always think this is a great time to go on rides, but we knew Tyler would love to see it. He is a crack up. Pluto, Peter Pan, Goofy, dancers would come by him and he would just stare. They would pat him on his head or put their big huge puffy white disney hand out for a hand shake or high five and he would just stare. The other kid next to him got all the love. Oh well. I guess he was taking it all in!! At the end Mickey and Minnie kissed. It was special, I actually got teary eyed. No joke. Remember I'm pregnant, I'm emotional. I had to get a picture of the lovely couple.

Another beautiful wedding this year!

This past Saturday many people got married and I was at one of many. John's cousin Becky married Joe in Dana Point at the Chart House. It was such a sweet ceremony, pastor Shiloh did a great job and John and I are happy for both Becky and Joe as they start their lives together. Oh by the way, Tyler was the ringbearer. He broke his rose boutinaire (sp?) as soon as we put it on him. He wouldn't go down the aisle by himself, so yours truely had to escort him down. He would only sit still in his seat if we fed him scooby snacks. Overall, it was great!!




Congrats Becky and Joe Pun!

Tyler's own theatre room

So tyler loves to watch "Schek" (which is Shrek), "Monkey" or "George" (which is Curious George), "Tiger" (which is Madagascar--go fig, it's a lion but he calls it a tiger). As seen here he eats his apples and has some juice for a movie time snack! This is how I watch all my tivo shows!

A little shout out...

John just had a race last weekend in Rosamond, Ca...yeah I don't know exactly where it is either. He finished sixth, and he got his name published in a paragraph about his class on ekartingnews.com...

"In S4 Light racing it looked that Utah's Patrick Cushenberry appeared to have a lock on the competition...... Andrew Quackenbush, Jeff Smith, Willy Musgrave and John Cram were within seconds of the leading pair waiting to capitalize on any mistake. Zirkle made no mistakes."

So I just had to brag, that's all.

Yup...still sick...

So we went to the docs today and the VERDICT: Chronic Tonsillitis. Tyler's Bronchitis isn't so bad, well he said his lungs sound clear. But I still continue the breathing treatments and he switched him to Zithromax. Now that's some powerful drug. I know this has to kick it. I didn't even want to ask him how many more times before his tonsils come out. I'm in denial. Because he has had tonsillits at least 2 times this year. And last year...4-5 times...oh boy!

Boogity Boogity


That's how I feel...Tyler takes the words right out of my mouth. But it's cuter when he says it. He is still sick. Tonsillitis and Bronchitis. I have been faithful giving him his Keflex and breathing treatments. We're going to the docs again, maybe to switch antibiotics. He has been on this one since last Monday and he runs a 101 fever. I feel so bad for our little guy. It's been 2-1/2 weeks of this stuff. He has this little raspy voice and coughs like he's been smoking for years. In the middle of the night he coughs, he doesn't sleep, he coughs. If you are a parent you know how that just crushes your heart to hear that through the baby monitor. If I had the powers to do it, I would take it away from him and give it to John. I would give it to me, but I'm pregnant and that would suck being pregnant and having a fever, or not being able to take antibiotics for something. John would understand. =)
We finally got to go to church on Sunday with him, but who knows about this sunday. That's another bum thing, I miss church. I get inspired and pumped after Sunday, it really gets me through my week. Please pray for John and I to get us through the week. Please pray for my health, because I am pregnant and SHOCKED that I haven't picked it up. Did I mention my mother-in-law has a bad case of bronchitis too. It is amzing that I'm still well. I have been out of work too a lot to take care of my little patient as well. But I don't mind that, he needs his mama.

Mr. T is mine


Still have him. J Rocka, if you ever want to see your Mr. T again...I suggest you bring over $1,000 of unmarked bills to my house. Just kidding. He's in my purse. He comes in handy when we're at the doctors, or in the car, or at Target. Everytime he picks him up he trys talking like him in that "Mr. T" mean-fast-talking- vocie. Very cute.

Love him...love love love him


He is such a wonderful husband and outstanding father. I am blessed. You all should be jealous. Okay don't be jealous, because that's not nice. Just bragging I guess.

Take me out to the ball game

So we got to go to the Angel game on Saturday. It was something fun for us to do, that's the way I look at it since the angels's aren't so hot right now. But I still wore my angel jersey. The best part was seeing tyler have fun. Here are some photos about the bottom of the 6th, where he knows the white socks are killing the angels and he can go ahead and fool around with daddy's hat.
