May 25th
Family and vacation time! We have had a great time visiting family and being able to explore, and see how Derek will interact with his cousin Carson! It makes me see that one day he will make an amazing big brother! Today I Praise God for the little precious moments!

Derek's crib soother!  What on earth would I do with out this soother. We take it EVERYWHERE! This is what get my baby to sleep every night. When the batteries are low, they are changed instantly. I dont have to break Derek of a pacifier, and sucking his thumb, but I will have to break him of this soother.

 With the hustle and bustle of everyday, sometimes we need to take a moment to thank our Savior.
Today and everyday, I Praise you, Lord, for all you have given me, and for dying on the cross, to save a sinner.
You have blessed me in so many ways, I am so happy that I know you as my Lord and Savior.

You know that moment you are driving down the road, not really paying attention to where you are going, and you are lost in thought, praying talking to GOD, and then the right song comes on the radio at the very perfect time? Isn't it awesome, how he can remind us, that he is always here with us.

Words of Affirmation:
Every Thursday Night we go out to eat with my grandpa. Tonight we went to the Ranch House, and sat in the back, where there is a kid table that Derek can sit at and play while we wait for our food. A couple sitting close by, that I "know" noticed Derek and said Hi. After about 10 minutes of waiting for our food, the lady at the other table complemented on how great Derek was doing, by self- entertaining himself, and acting really good, and the fact that we didn't have to entertain him, or use our phone to keep him quite. Not only that, he was good the whole night and ate really good at supper. Today I am grateful, for the reminder of what I do matters, and I am doing a good job at this "parenting" thing.

Today I am thankful for my boss. Not only is she my boss, she is a great person, and a great friend. I am truly blessed to work with the people I do. Not only do we work well together, we care about that is going on in each others lives and they have become part of my family. A few years ago, I prayed for this, and I am so happy that God does answer prayers, and only he knows when the best time to deliver the answered prayers.

Its the last day of the Month, YAY. WOW this posting daily for a month was rough, but I MADE IT. I was wondering a few times if I would be able to, and I did.
My last Praise the Lord post, goes to my husband. He is my Rock. I am so blessed to have someone that cares so much for his wife and his son, that he works so hard to provide for.
This one is for you, honey.



Here's to the Month of May...

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
