Stressful day

-

Today was a busy day. We started the day with taking Dylan up to the college to show him off to everyone. I used this day as a trial run to see what time I need to get up when I have to start going into work! Surprising it's going to have to be 6am for me! This will give me enough time to shower, eat, get myself ready, and still have enough time to wake Dylan up and feed him before I leave. 
I knew having two kids would be tough, but I think I underestimated the toughness. The good news is, we will figure it out. Plus it's only part time so I will be Home around noon and can take a nap. 

That afternoon we had to make our first trip to DeQueen. Ricky's uncle passed away and we had to attend the funeral. I have been very nervous about a DeQueen trip since Dylan was born. With the car ride and breastfeeding and all, I was not sure how it would work! 
Once we got into the car, Dylan begins to scream, but only for a few minutes as he feel asleep! That was the best part of the day. Once we arrive in DeQueen and the funeral begins to start, baby gets hungry, so I head to the car to feed him. This untimely starts an afternoon of cluster feeding, about every hour.  Between moving from place to place, and trying to take care of my children, I became very anxious. As we start to headed home, I am praying that Dylan will go to sleep for the hour car ride. 
He sleeps for about 30 minutes then looses it. Nothing is worse than having you baby crying in the back and not able to do anything. We decided to stop in Ashdown so I can feed Dylan and get something to eat myself. We sat in McDonald's parking lot and ate. 
We finally made it home, and I am not sure who was more happy me or Dylan. 
For all the times I was not able to comfort him, I was so happy to be able to sit with Dylan at home and snuggle. It was a good end to a very stressful day!

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.
