A Letter to my boys on Mother's Day

-

Every year we celebrate our moms to show them how much we appreciate them.
On this Mother's Day, I wanted to leave a message to the ones that mean the most to me, the ones who made me a mom.

To my wonderful husband:
You make every day special and I am so lucky to have you on my side! You are the best partner anyone could ask for! You are my right hand. You always have my best interest at heart and through your words and actions, I see how much you care and love your family! 
You are a wonderful dad to our kids and I am so glad you chose me to start a family with! Your kids adore you and want to do everything to make you happy. You never fall short to make me feel special, and this year was no different. I love seeing you as a dad to our kids, and even when parenting gets tough, you are right there in the trenches, helping me mold the kids into the people we want them to be. Thank you for being present in all of their little moments. 


To My firstborn son: Derek, you made me a mom, something I have wanted for so long. When I look at you today, I am blown away by how big you have gotten in such a short amount of time! You have the most compassionate heart, the funniest personality and are very sensitive to you feeling! You love to be loved and shown love, and you can't stand it if someone is upset with you. You love to talk about everything that is on your mind. You love to be in the middle of everything, but you are also fine with doing things on your own. Right now your love for action figures and race cars is strong, and you always have something funny to say. You love to make people laugh, and give the best hugs. I am so happy that I was chosen to be your mom.


To My Last baby: Dylan, even though we have only had you for 7 months, you have brightened my world in so many ways!  Sometimes I feel like you are a dream. You are a great baby, very easy, calm and laid back. You have made me challenge myself in ways I never dreamed of and I can't wait to see what kind of person you will be as you grow older. You are the spitting image of your daddy, and I love your smiling face. Your happiness that shines through you, when you see me, makes my day. 
I am holding on to every "baby" moment with you, as I know this time is so short. Always stay sweet, and take your smile with you where ever you go.

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
