Weekend recap

-

This past weekend was awesome, but do to work being so busy, and spending time with the family at night, I am just now getting around to post this.  
We took Derek to his Grandma and Grandpa's this weekend so we could get some shopping done. 
Ricky and I had a great time, shopping for Derek, talking, and date night. 
It was so much fun being Santa for the second year. I am more excited as a parent that I ever had been and I know Derek is going to be so happy with all his gifts.
After all the shopping, we decided that since we were kid free, we would embrace the moment and have a date night, so we spent the evening at the movies and eating at Texas Roadhouse.  I had a great time, spending the evening with my best friend. 


Earlier that week, I was expecting my Christmas gift to arrive. Ricky wanted to get me an IPad Mini, and of course,I said "No I don't need an IPad", but Ricky insisted.  Turns out that Wal-Mart over sold the IPads, and our order was never process, but instead of me being disappointed, Ricky went to Target and bought me an IPad.  I was speechless as he was telling me the story. WOW how did I get so lucky to have someone that loves and cares so much about me that he would do all that for, just to make sure that I was happy.  Everyday, I am so grateful for his love and commitment to our family. 

                                                             

Sunday afternoon, I want to pick up Derek, who had a great time with his grandparents, but was ready to come home. I was not there 20 minutes and he was pulling my hand towards the door saying "let's go."  Once we made it home, we decided to take Derek to a Dinosaur Expo, we thought it was $5 per person, so we figured, why not. Once we get there, it was actually $15 per person, and we were a little disappointed at the price for what we got.  As soon as we walked in the door, a LIFE SIZE DINOSAUR greeted us a the door, and I am not going to lie, it scared the H*** out of me, and I had to tell myself quite a few times, this is a person.  Derek on the other hand, could sense my fear, and he was not having any part of it, so for the first 20 minutes he was terrified, and would not let us set him down. Once he realize the dinosaurs were not going to get him, he got down to explore.
At this point, Derek isn't sure what's going on.

Look at that face

Daddy is Reading to Derek.

This is right when you walk in, as you can see Derek is not letting go of Daddy.

He Liked this one.

OK this isn't so bad...



This is as we were leaving.

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

#ONEBIGTRUTH

This is a first for me, and I am very nervous about doing this, but I have come to realize that blogging is a passion of mine, and that I am here for a reason. There are some times that I am stepping out on a limb (faith) and I know that not matter what GOD has ALWAYS got my back, even on the toughest days. So today, I am hoping to join up with other bloggers, readers, and friends to share ONE BIG TRUTH.  This is a way to share something that God has taught you, reveled to you, or guided you through and you are now stronger for it. The goal is to do this in 2 pictures.  Everyone has had a moment, where you knew God was there, and it all worked out because of his grace. Now is the time to link up! You can also share your pictures on instagram or twitter with the hashtag #onebigtruth.
