Everyday life

Looking back, I wish I would have started a blog right after Derek was born, instead I get to relive all the memories and find myself playing catch up for each post! One day I will be caught up to his actual age, but as I am writing each post, life still goes on, which leads me to my new post!

Corn casserole disaster!


I am always looking for new recipes to try and possibly move into our weekly meals! Well I found a side dish recpie for corn casserole, and thought I have got to try that, but I needed a meal to go with it! The next day I got a call for a family get together, potluck style, so I thought it would be the  perfect time to try this new recipe!
So I go to the store, get all the ingredients, so I could make it for the get together! It took 45 minutes to cook in the oven, so I knew I would be a little late for the dinner, since it was at 6 and I had a 30 minute drive, but I knew it would be worth it!
Yesterday, I rush home from work get all the ingredients together and put it in the oven, anxiously waiting to see the end result! I got everything ready, so when it comes out of the oven, I can leave! At 45 minutes it's looking so good but it's not done, so I cook it for another 5 minutes! Once the timer goes off, I open the oven, and my mouth is watering, it looks so good! As I am pulling it out of the oven, I don't anticipate the weight of the pan, and it falls face down on the floor!!!
That's right, ON THE FLOOR! I stand in shock, what seemed like 10 minutes, thinking I can't believe this just happened! That was my dish, so I scoop up this scolding, hot mess off the floor, thinking now what do I do! My first thought is well I waited this long, by golly, I am trying it, so I get me a fork, and on my hands and knees, I get a bite off the top, and let me tell you, it was good, one bite just isn't enough!
Even though my dish was not a success, the dinner was. This will be something I will be making again, with much more caution!


Until next time......

San Diego, CA Part 2

After a fair nights sleep, I wake up the next day in San Diego, and the moment my feet hit the floor they start screaming at me, oh they HURT. Ricky had to be at his conference early, so I seen him off, and I began to start my day, but I was slow moving. I could not get motivated to get out of the room. Finally I made my way down stairs, and headed to Starbucks for breakfast. After that I hopped on a bus and headed to the San Diego Zoo. Thanks to Google Maps, and my GPS I knew right where I was going and when I needed to get off the bus. It was a lifesaver. How did people travel to a new city before Google maps, LOL. I actually got off the bus a little early, but the weather was wonderful, so I didn't mind it to bad.    Now if you have ever heard of this zoo, you know it is a well known zoo, and it should be, it was great, and HUGE!!! Instead of showing tons of pictures of animals, I will only show a few and move on. I spend all day

16 Months Old

Derek is now 16 months old, and I am ashamed to say that I have been slacking on the picture taking, the note taking, and all the awesome stuff he has been doing as he is getting older. Is it because I don't care anymore, absolutely not. We are living life, and having fun, and I have just let the "blog" side of it go to the back burner. Even though I would like to be done with the every month update, I feel like I need to keep it up, at least till he is 2. Who knows, by then this "dry spell" may pass, and I will be back on my game. We do have the holidays coming up really soon and that is my favorite time to take pictures, so I am sure it will pick up. So for now, here is my little boy at 16 months old. Currently everything is "Mamma", we are trying to get him to say more words, but nothing has stuck just yet, other than "yeah", and that is my mistake, and I am trying to correct it with "yes". We celebrated his second Hall

19 Months Old

WOW I have a 19 month old child. That's crazy, awesome, and sad. My little boy is growing up so fast. My brother and sister-in-law just had their second child, and I was able to be there shortly after the baby was born, and it brought all those memories back to the surface. I am not ready to have another baby, but I was so happy to hold a newborn, and love on him, but it just reminded me of how fragile and tiny they are. As I see my 19 month old son run around, that is what I want to focus on, and how big he is getting.  We have snow!!!!! Its our first snow of winter, and here in the south, everything stops for snow. We had snow last year, but Derek was to small to enjoy it, so we were blessed with snow again this year, and Derk has a blast playing in it. He really didn't know what it was, but it sure was fun.  There's nothing like the Love between a Father and his Son. This month has been a good month for our family. Derek is really growing into something amaz
