The Rays of Sunshine

Choo Choo!! Derek is turning 2!! WOW what an amazing party Derek had for his 2nd Birthday! He is such a sweet boy, and he is so loved.  Since Derek was turning 2, and we did a big party for his 1st birthday, we decided to do a small grandparents only type party.  Great idea on our part, we were able to have a few people here at our house, but still able for Derek to have an awesome birthday party.  One week before Derek's birthday party we decided that he needed a haircut. In the past we had always taken him to the barber shop and pay someone to cut his hair,  everyone is miserable, and  Derek hates it. Well I got the idea that we could do it ourselves, all we needed were some clippers, right... well not exactly. Doing at home was just as stressful as going to the barbershop, the only difference is we had no idea what we were doing. I put the wrong size on the clippers and cut his hair really short.

Looks like I have returned to the blogging world.  It has been a busy past few months and a lot of things have happened. I have realized that I am not as good of a blogger that I had hoped to be and; I felt like my writing was not very good, and I kinda lost my desire for it, so I took a break. Here is a recap of what has happens, since I have been gone: Derek turned 23 Months old: We are in full swing of planning his 2nd birthday party, and let me tell you, it will be a good one. I will be sure and post about that one. We decided to go with the Thomas the Train theme, because right now Derek is all about Thomas. He is still not talking as much as I would like him to, but we are working on it. Each day we are working on saying a few words, and if there is one thing I know about my kids, is that you can't rush him. He will do it when he is good an ready to, I just have to be patient. I love having him around, he makes everything so much better.   New car: That&
