February Bdays!

February 1st was my mother in law Linda's birthday! We went out to eat at Cattlemans because she, like me, loves her steak & potatoes! We had a really nice dinner and the kids each made her cards and we got her a Border's gift card because her favorite pastime is reading!

And today is my father in law Bob's birthday. We are headed out to Island's this evening for burgers, fries & shakes, his fav! We got him a mixed cd with some of his fav. music on it to enjoy and the kids of course made him some bday cards!

Happy Birthday to 2 of our most favorite people!!!

Last Day of School For A Week...

GOOD:
dont HAVE to get up early and drive Riley to school
Dont have to interrupt the other 2 kiddos naps to go pick her up from school
NO packing lunches
NO picking out outfits the night before
get to spend all day with my 3 loves

BAD:
all 3 kids in the house all day...most likely fighting all day about everything!

Thats the only BAD thing but its a big one! We'll see how it goes! Any plans for your 3 day weekend?

200th Post & Valentines Day!!

Wow, I cant believe I've made it to my 200th post. Its taken a while but here I am! I love doing this blog so friends & family near and far can see what us McKiernan's are up to :) Hope you are still enjoying reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!

Yesterday was Valentine's Day Zach surprised me on Friday and we went to dinner at Pizzeria Classico and then to Tommy T's Comedy Club. I've never seen a comedian before and it was sooo much fun! I definitely want to go back and its cheaper than a movie ticket...sounds good to me!! Saturday the kids and I made a Vday cake with pink strawberry icing! Then on Sunday Zach and I had a gift card to Lucille's BBQ in Rocklin and so my mom watched the kids and we went. It was delish as always and we shared a piece of red velvet cake with cheesecake icing...so good! We exchanged cards for each other and sat and ate slowly, which is rare since were always rushing when we have the kids! So all in all we had a very nice weekend. This was our 8th Valentine's day together and each year it gets better and better.

Hope you all had a very happy heart day!

My Poor boy!

We've found out recently that Trevor has cold or allergy induced asthma! That means anytime he even gets the slightest cold or allergy starts bugging him his asthma kicks in! He coughs so hard sometimes he throws up and just cries because his poor throat is just raw. The last 2 colds have caused him to get pneumonia! Well it started again on Fri. He got a fever and really green runny nose. This continued over the weekend and his coughing got horrible and so deep. You just cringe when he coughs because you can imagine how bad it hurts him. I took him to the Dr. last night and turns out he has pneumonia, a double ear infection and his oxygen levels were around 88-92 when they should be at 99. She was very concerned and gave him a dose of a steroid Prednisone immediately and gave me another to give him this morning, along with an antibiotic plus his 2 normal breathing treatments we do here at home. She made another appt. for today so we will see the Dr at 3:30 and they want to check on everything again. Along with that since it gets so bad and continues to happen, they are sending us to an Allergy & Pulmonary Specialist next week. My poor boy is such a trooper, she even said she never would have thought he was that sick with how he was acting and smiling. I guess he has a high pain tolerance like his mommy :)

Think good thoughts for him please, hoping the testing they have to do isn't too bad for him at the specialist!! Also hoping his oxygen levels have gone up since last night.
