All about Derek!

ALL ABOUT DEREK.

Since we just celebrated Derek's 4th birthday, I thought a post all about Derek would be fitting. 


Here is one of my favorite pictures of Derek at 1 month old. 


Words to describe Derek would be: fun, happy, silly, smart, and caring. Derek does not like you to be upset with him, or at anyone, and will always ask if you are happy. He thinks kisses make everything better, and he might be right.


Derek loves to show off this rock collection. There is no real pattern to his collection, as most of them are from the parking lot at daycare, but he loves them.



One thing I love about Derek is his love for comfy clothes. As soon as we walk through the door, he is headed to his room to change into comfy clothes, and wants to make sure we are in comfy clothes as well. 



Derek is also reserved when it comes to meeting new people, but if he is familiar with you,  he will ask and answer all your questions and keep you entertained for a while.


I asked Derek about some of his favorite things right now:
Favorite color: Red
Favorite movie: Zootopia
Favorite food: cake 
Favorite place to visit: Carson's house
Favorite part about daycare: playing with his friend Ben Richie 
Favorite part of summer: looking outside for the moon

I sure do love this sweet boy of mine, and I am so happy he calls me MOM! 

Cousin Love!!

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.
