A Weeks Journey with Grandma and Grandpa

This week Kyler's Grandparents came to visit. This was his first time meeting them...well they came to visit when he was 2 months old. But he doesn't remember that. So technically this is their first time meeting.

We started the weekend off by my mom stopping in for a few hours to deliver her Valentine's to us. Kyler got a gift bag of goodies, Chris got some chocolates and I got these beautiful tulips (my Favorite)!:


These I got from Chris:


Kyler picked these out all by himself:


I had to work on Sunday so Chris, his parents and Kyler went with my sister-in-law and all of her family to the beach.

Zachary is ALL about his lil cousin Ky. This is too cute!:


Chris' parents; Rob and Helen:


The Boys Club (Kevin, Kyler, Zachary and Nicholas):


My lil beach bundle:




I had that following Monday off while everyone else had to work. So Rob, Helen and I took Kyler to the park:


Yeah, I'm not sure if he loves to swing or not...what do you think?:


Chasing Grandpa through the tunnel:




Mr. Handsome:


Mommy's big boy:


Grandpa and Kyler riding the dinosaur:


Tuesday, we went to another park and had some icecream:



As I was blowdrying my hair, Kyler kept running over and giving me sweet lovin or "oh sweet baby" as we call it:



On Friday we went to Manatee Park.

Kyler loved picking up the acorns from the Live Oak:


Look at his blotchy face from the bad rash he had:


Kyler reading a book to Grandpa:


Grandpa trying to pack Kyler into his suitcase. Kyler put up a nasty fight..HA:


Kyler and Grandpa's last night together. We all sat outside and watched "the big moon" while the boys swung:




And tonight Kyler and I went with my sister-in-law, her parents and my nephews to the Edison Parade. My camera was being silly and I didn't get any good pictures of the actual parade itself. I did get some of us watching the parade. Kyler's favorite part....the airplanes flying. He would watch the parade but didn't miss the first plane coming overhead. He liked the floats and the marching bands too..he liked the music and would dance.

The gang:


My SIL Sherry and her Zachary:


My boy chowing down on some food...go figure:


Some of my work crew:


Not a good pix but more of my peeps:


Sherry, Zachary, Nicholas and Kyler:


Me and the boys (Nicholas wasn't picking, but posing)....and Please don't confuse mine and Zachary's shirts blending together as me being SUPER HUGE... if you look hard, you will see that I am wearing purple, he is wearing blue and the grey is part of his sleeves. I'm big, but Not that big! HA:


Me and my squeeze:


My baby boy giving his mommy some sweet sugar:


Aunt Sherry caught some beads for Kyler:


Right after this picture was taken there was a loud explosion from a cannon off the ship. We weren't expecting it. But Kyler Loved it!

Zachary and Kyler..so cute (Nicholas was asleep):

Give Me A Break....Kit Kat Bar

Ok, so I don't really want a Kit Kat Bar..but their motto or jingle to their commercials are "Give Me a Break...Give Me a Break...etc" and I'm looking for a break. Poor Kyler just can't seem to catch one this month. I'm ready for February to be Over!

He's been fighting pink eye and ear infections for the past few weeks. The pink eye he had twice (in both eyes nonetheless). Thankfully those cleared Right up. The ear infections he has been battling and has had to switch antibiotics as the first wasn't helping.

Yesterday, he wakes up with blood all on the outside of his ear and when I looked inside, it was covered in blood. So back to the doctor we went. She told me just to continue him on the medication and the infection would clear up. She also said the inside looked like it was scratched.

Then this morning when he woke up, he was breaking out with a rash. It was just around his face and neck and now is Everywhere. He's pretty miserable with it. Poor guy just can't catch a break.

2nd Dose.....

We had a hard time trying to get Kyler to bed last night. He carried my Mom's pictures around and would scream bloody murder if we took them away. I ended up putting one on his night stand so he could lay in bed and look at her. His ears were giving him a fit and he kept digging at them and he found comfort in carrying Gramma. I know she misses him just as much as he's missing her! It breaks my heart as with my in-laws coming, I don't know when I'll get to see her, maybe next weekend.

This morning, my handsome woke up with eyes matted shut AGAIN! Once I got the goopy cleaned up and he looked up at me, my eyes immediately teared up for him as I knew right away he had pink eye again. His follow up was on Monday from the 1st spell. But I called and got him an appointment for today.

This is him at breakfast this morning:


11:30 rolls around and we are at the Dr's office. Kyler was able to leave his heart:


Sure enough....Pink Eye....AGAIN! And a horrible ear infection in both ears. The one ear that I said looked like it was bleeding, doctor confirmed it was. But he wasn't sure if it was bleeding because it's so badly infected or if it's because Kyler has been digging at it. I really hope this doesn't mean that were headed down the path for tubes. Cause he's a swimmer and summer is coming. But if it means my baby would be well, then we'll do it.

So here's hoping that the new antibiotic will work in his favor. I hate seeing my Lil Man sick!

Mohawks and Motorcycles

Tonight we took Kyler to get his hair cut again. Yes, he has to go once a month because it really grows fast. There was a long wait and he was really good.

While the girl was cutting his hair, she formed it into a Mohawk to get a good measurement on both sides. It was too cute! So after his regular cut was done, she put some gel in his hair and formed a Mohawk and he was TOO STINKIN' CUTE!!





After his haircut, Daddy found something "new" for him at the 2nd hand shop which is next door. We love that store..you get really good items (clothes, toys, beds, etc) that are gently used and can be passed on to the next kid for love.

Kyler's "new" ride:


Hey Mom,,,are you gonna chase me or what?:


His first wipe out...or in motorcycle terms... "he laid his bike down":


Giving Daddy a lift:


He looks so big here!:


Oh yes...we have to get our daily ride in on his horsey!:


Ok Mom, I'm done with the pictures please!:


And because I'm slacking from last weekend when my nephews stayed the night. Here are a few pictures from that night too.

Kyler was SO excited that night! It was hard for me to get him to calm down and go to sleep. I ended up putting a movie on for the boys:


The next morning, I took them to the park. Kyler has NO fear and was climbing all over this gym. Thankfully there was 3 of us (my nephews and me) to keep all sides blocked so he wouldn't fall through any openings.


Z was SO good with him and went down the slide with him for me because Kyler picked the Biggest slide to want to master:






A little swinging time:


He liked this little bug thing:


Going for a spin on the merry-go-round. He was so "drunk" afterwards, he was falling down all over the place. Think he didn't like it afterwards..maybe he does have a little of his mommy in him HA!:


And more of his daily horse riding...but it's too cute. He was falling asleep on it:
