Cute!

Ahhhh...curious george story time

Always close the baby powder

Because if you don't and happen to dissappear for a minute or two to use the bathroom, this is what happens. I walk into what I thought was our living room, but I wasn't sure since I couldn't see anything except for white powder in the air. I ask tyler what he had done. (stupid question). He says, "mama...no worky (as he is shaking the EMPTY baby powder bottle)...powder?" Oh no tyler it did work just fine son...cough cough. Reason #598 why I love my tyler!

The meaning of being close

So as I was getting ready Thursday morning for work, I hear this dragging noise. I'm thinking to myself, "what on earth is that?" The moment I finish my thought and turn around, I see this. Tyler dragging his table from his room. I ask him what he is doing. He smiles and says, "table!" (but of course in toddler language). He runs off. I get up to see if John saw this, and he is laughing in bed. Tyler comes back with one of the chairs. Runs off again. By this time I sit back down to continue to get ready. Yup, I guessed it. He brought the other chair in. Runs off one more time. Comes back with a handful of his cars. He sits down and plays while mommy gets ready. He just wanted to be close to me I guess. Reason #758 why I love my Tyler!

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.

I live on the party block

We moved in September of 2005. November of 2005 we had one our NEW neighbors throw a party like going to 1am. John wanted to complain, but I begged him not to since we were the only ones on the block (can't be sneaky). Then same neighbors had another one months later, other neighbors have some and it goes on and on...I have no problem with some party time, Dj's, jumpers. That's all good in the hood. I can't stand it because I picked the wrong room for Tyler to sleep in. His window is right there amongst the bumping music. Like right now it's 10pm at night. There's kids running down the street. There's kids jumping in this castle jumper. There is currently a hip hopping dance floor (with lights) in their garage spinning, "Move your body girl..." Our homes are so close together it's ridiculous. Are these people unaware of this? There are 2 houses down from me. There is no shame in their game I guess.
The way John and I look at it is, if Tyler can sleep through it, then great. But he's not right now. He keeps on waking up. I did leave out he sleeps with a box fan in his room too. So yeah, he shouldn't be hearing anything except for a jet airplane. So you know that music is bumping! When is the time limit to reduce noise for parties? How long can they drag this on? Am I old? Yes, probably. But, Tyler needs to get to bed now, not listen to the mac-a-rana!!!

It's a BOY!!

Yup! We are having another boy ladies and gents. John and I found out today and we are soooooooooo excited. John was thrilled because he has been given his 2 sons. I would have loved a girl for my own selfish reasons (to look like me), but I would rather see Tyler with a better playmate. I was kinda nervous that they would say"it's a girl" and then on d day it would be a boy or vice versa. But there is no mistaken in the ultrasound images. This little boy of ours was busy moving all about, the technician almost didn't get a peek. He was sitting indian style most of the time she said, but would always flip. I tell you I have felt "him" move more today then ever, especially during the ultrasound. It was amazing. To see your unborn child move like there is no tomorrow. John asked how much a ultrasound machine cost like he was interested in buying one. Ha! Uh, sorry honey not in our budget, not this lifetime, unless we can borrow Tom Cruise and Katie's.
Oh yeah we already have a name for this child. But wait a few days while I tell family, then I will post. I would hate to have my family "read" about it!

They did it!

Mr. and Mrs. Justin and Burgundy Kowalski!! They tied the knot on Saturday the 7th. It was the most untraditional weddings I have witnessed and I loved every bit of it. My favorite part of the ceremony was when Pastor Neal asked everyone in the audience to put their hands out and pray for the new couple and their new marriage. Every little detail was so them. It was great. I put it at the top of my wedding of the year list. I'm happy for my brother that God placed Burgundy in his life and now ours. I hope he doesn't mind sharing her with his sisters!!

FIRST THEY PRACTICED TO BE HUSBAND AND WIFE...

SO POSED...

THEN THEY BECAOME HUSBAND AND WIFE!

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER...

THE END

Happy Anniversary to us!

4 years ago John and I got married. 2 years later (1 day shy actually) Tyler was born. 2 years later (now) we have one on the way. I'm very simple. Simplicity is always more. Quality time is what I crave. Dinner is fine with me. I'm not really into jewlery. I don't know what I would really want if he asked. I want him. He sent me some beautiful flowers and we just hung out. Tyler, John and I. I'm kinda feeling sicky the last few days, and with so much going on this week. ie: Tler's birthday, our anniversary, Justin's wedding, Easter. We decided to post pone any dinner arrangements till next week, when we can breathe.

I love you John Cram. You have given me many joyous moments, spontaneous times and just always put a smile on my face. I truely am blessed all the way around with you being my husband. You are MINE!

My 2 year old boy!

Tyler is 2 Tyler is 2 Tyler is 2. Where has the time gone? I just remember pushing him out! He is so precious to John and I. Love him to pieces. He brings such joy to us it's amazing what God can create. I am so thankful for Tyler and pray that he becomes the strong man of God that we pray for. Happy Birthday Tyler Jospeh Cram!


He helped mama make cupcakes. He actually was pretty neat about it. That he takes after me!

Race day at Cal Speed

So today was a fun filled day at Cal Speed Raceway in Fontucky. John had a great day. He was in the top 3 throughout the heats and main. He placed 4th at the end of the day which of course was by unfair racing. And I'm not just saying this because I'm his wife. Two guys jumped the start and I was shocked that no one stopped the race to redo the start, but that's life. He didn't get a trophy, but the 2 guys that jumped did, but they got dropped from points, so they got there's. It's tough sometimes seeing John out there going like 100mph. I always pray for him and I can't but help think the worse sometimes if something were to happen. I even get tearful if I just focus on that. I love him so much I don't anything to happen to him out there. I'm lucky John is a safe driver, he just has to watch out for the other idiots! Tyler was a great pit crew helper, here some pics...


He wanted this helmet on, and wouldn't let us take it off. He couldn't even walk with it on. Ha Ha!!

Pet Peeve

When people pay for call waiting service and don't use it. These days most people have caller ID waiting. So you know when their phone keeps on ringing it's because they don't want to pick up your call. But when their done with that oh so important call then they will call you. Well guess what? I don' t pick up! I know that sounds bad and immature, but press flash for goodness sakes! OR just tell the person to hold on for a second and notice the other caller. Poor other caller getting ignored all the time...
