The Hills 2-24-09

I finally got a few pictures off of my camera :)



Valentines Day Dinner - Steak, twice baked potatoes, corn casserole and onions/mushrooms....yummy!










My little heartbreaker before his Valentines Day party at school. He will be a heart breaker becuase he already told me that mommy is his best friend. :)


















Tiger Woods pose!


















Writing out his V-day cards















Ready to go play in the snow with Daddy


















Getting a Tucker dog to match his Quincy that Aunt Manda and Uncle Ry got him at Holland Hospital last year. He sleeps with them every night!












Opening his present from the Hillers (next door neighbors). It was a "Big Brother" book.














Ice skating after the hockey game

















Sitting with Grandma Brooks at the hockey game













Are you happy Mom??? :) See - when I don't blog pictures it just makes you appreciate me more when I do!
What else is new???? Not much. I had another doctors appointment, but everything is pretty boring right now....I hope it stays that way! I have been tired, but that is to be expected. I do really, really like my new OB/Gyn. He is dorky and goofy, but he takes the time to really talk to me each time I go in. He understands that my insurance is being a pain in the rear with only allowing 2 sonograms, so he is not marking all of them - or if he does he said he'll mark that they were medically necessary and then insurance can't deny them. Last week though, he has a really old school sono machine that a doctor who retired left there, so he did one instead of just doing the heart rate with the doppler. It was still around 170 - Justin's was never higher than 150 so there is still a chance it could be a girl! When I was around 10 weeks pregnant, I was having really bad cramps and called the doctor. He got me in right away and they did a sono and everything was okay. Then on the check-out sheet, he didn't even put a sono on there...just a follow up. I am really glad to have an understanding and caring doctor....they are fewer and far between these days!




Things on the work front for me are going great! (knock on wood!) On Friday I got committments for a large CAT job, plus a school district that has work at 3 schools. Total on all of the jobs was around $1M!!! I was so nervous that the CAT job was not going to materialize, but lucky for me they already have the building started and now need it to be heated/cooled! I went to Chicago for work yesterday to meet with my boss and go over the job. With a job of that volume, I wanted another pair of eyes on my numbers and selections. They are 6 identical units, which makes life easier - but it also makes for 6 mistakes if there is an error! Luckily, we found none and found a way to save even more $$ - ie more profit! Also, when I was up there, I found out that I was salesman of the month for December! What does that get me? Not much other than the satisfaction of having my name on the plaque on the wall and $100 Best Buy gift card, but I was happy! Hopefully if I can time the bookings of these new jobs right, I might get it once or twice this spring! A few more years and Rob and I will be able to buy a flat screen for our bedroom! :)
I think that's all for now. I am soooooo ready for spring/summer!

Sounds like you have a great doctor! That always makes things so much better. That's great that he understands about insurance, too!

Funny that you wrote that about the award money for a flat screen for your bedroom, that's exactly what JR and I are using mine for. I figure we paid off everything else, and the economy needs all the help it can get, so why not spend it? At leat that's my rationalization:)
