Life as usual

-
I know I don't post as often as I should, and I try to get better each week, but it doesn't happen. I forget to take pictures, and I am sad that I don't remember.
Since I do a post about Dylan each month, it's only fair that Derek gets the same spotlight.
Derek is a very funny, energetic, creative five-year-old.
He loves to make you laugh and be silly. Check out the many faces of our Derek.




He could not resist a picture with the Target dog, and when he asks you to take his picture, you do so. 
I know there will be a time when he will not want me to take his picture.  (Sidenote: Derek is going to be a businessman. He is constantly making deals with us to get what he wants. If we offer him a deal he isn't happy with, he is quick to make a counteroffer, just not always in his favor)


So here is what I know about this image.  We came home from a birthday party, and I told him to go play, a few minutes later, he comes to the living room like this. It was his "costume", and I could not capture this image. 


We are walking out the door, and I tell Derek to get his coat, he returns like this. 
Where does he come up with this stuff?? 


What 5 year's room, isn't a mess?? We were playing in his room, and he just laid on the floor, dramatically announcing how tired he was. 

My two cuties!!!




Derek is really into building with legos, and I have been pretty impressed with his creations.
His favorite right now is Lego Batman and is already planning his birthday party around lego batman.  


Derek loves him some bubble tea. It is not really tea, but a creamy flavored milk drink with kiwi bubbles, and it is delicious. 



This past Friday, I meet up with my friend Kelly, and we to get our hair done. I was so happy to finally have a new haircut, and spend some girl time with my friend.


This past weekend was beautiful, so we spent as much time outside as possible. 





Lastly, look at our celebrity. Our cutie made a flyer at work. This picture is from last years Easter Egg hunt, and they featured him on this year's flyer. #proudmom.

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.
