So odd... and then whats up

New item to add to A's allergy list... Red 40 dye.
The dye is in so many items. I was going bananas because I couldn't get rid of her eczema on her face. I kept saying "Every time we come back from the baseball field it gets worst." The doctor saw it at her wellness check up and said to moisturize it. Duh, I know that! I have different lotions that always work. I particular like Curel's anti-itch and this raw shea butter and chamomile lotion (it even has frankincense and myrrh, such royalty items).
I started to google prolonged eczema and allergy stuff. I cam across a mom who said her son was allergic to the dye in Gatorade (red 40). Of course, this allergy is not uncommon [[sigh]]. I removed all red 40 items from Austen's diet (she is not happy about it) and the eczema was gone within 3 days.
No allergies to wheat, nuts, dairy, gluten strawberries and etc; but she is allergic to cinnamon and red 40!!! Allergy test in the next few weeks now

Next up... Gavin. Dry patches on his face. It happens usually after a tball game when it is a warm day and sunny but its not a sunburn. Possibly a heat rash? but doesn't look like it. He has always had sensitive skin.

Other than that, the kids are wonderful and too grown =)
Gav graduates from pre-k in June. He took cap and gown pictures 2 weeks ago. They are ugly (quality wise). The director is trying to get the company back to fix it. Gav also has another dance competition June 4th in Las Vegas. Austen's nickname is chatterbox at school and she responds to it... she's a social butterfly.

Boom and I are working hard and can't wait til summer. Camping and movie nights =)

I added an April/May photo album

Can you believe I basically ate an entire bag of popcorn during this post, off to bed now

Confession....

Love Glee!
Had a moment when they were on the Wicked stage. Loved that play!
Now I'm really curious about what goes on at these Glee competitions... I must attend one

Happy Mother's Day to all

The kids school did a wonderful mother's day party for the mom's and kids.
They setup 4 stations:
1. Creating a lei out of muffin liners (blue, pink and yellow ones), cut up straws, paper flower cutouts and string. The kids made it beautifully and chose a smaller sting so I have a bracelet.
2. They had black pens, fake flowers, and the green tape to wrap around. They made a flower pen and attached a tag and ribbon
3. We put their hand prints on a paper with a mother's day pray
4. they made me picture frames

We had juice and cookies as well

Tomorrow we are having Austen's 2nd birthday party. We are partying Luau style :'( My little baby, well she is still a baby, but she is growing up so fast. We have full on conversations with her. At school, her nickname is chatterbox and she responds to that name. The potty training has taken off. She uses the restroom all the time now (but if she is playing, all rules go out the window). She still doesn't want to poop in the toilet though... baby steps. Very independent. She wants to do everything herself but a wonderful helper. It is neat to see motherly instincts within her, very cute. We love playing kitchen. The four of us sit around and A makes us food and drinks. A child's imagination is wonderful.

I wish everyone a wonderful Mother's Day weekend

Not Just a Mommy!

I fell in love with this blog awhile back. Super creative and I don't know how she manages to do it all. I like to just stare, drool and be inspired... I see summer projects in the horizon ;)

Look at her cute Easter creation

Goofing off at the new house

Few more items at the old house to transfer over. Loving the new home with all the space inside and out.
Happy Easter!

Up to date... sort of

I added a new album 2011 til now its not everything but it is a good representative.

I started my Stem Cell Scholars Internship at UCR's Stem Cell Core Facility on April 4th. My host PI is Dr. Talbot. I will use mouse neural stem cells in my studies in the beginning. Its exciting work and might have a published (or in the process) by the end of next year =)

Moving day is coming. Can't wait! Awesome neighborhood, closer to the parents and kid's school as well. The best part is all the de-cluttering. I want to get rid of so many items we don't need anymore.

Boom and I began the Paleo diet on Monday. Blog in the works...

Gavin has his first dance competition April 29-May 1, not sure of which day yet. He has his first full dress rehearsal this Friday =)

A's 2nd bday party is on May 7th. Invites will be out soon...

Hosting Tiff's baby shower May 14 =)

Grandma has been home since March 31. She is doing much better. We appreciate all the support

Prayer request
