A few things about us

-
Time can move so fast, and I want to look back and remember these days. 
Here are a few things about each of our family Members. 


-KINDERGARTEN ROCKSTAR-
 Derek has been doing really good in Kindergarten this year. We have been practicing his sight words, and he is beginning the first steps in reading. We are so proud of him, and he is doing a really good job in school. I have seen him grow a lot with this first month of school. He loves the days he is a car rider, as he says the bus ride is long and hot. LOL 

-VITILIGO-
Derek has been diagnosed with Vitiligo, where his skin is losing color and pigmentation. We have started a skincare treatment, and we are looking to discover the root cause. This has required Derek to make a few trips to the lab for blood work, and I am so proud of how well he has handled the whole situation. Together, as a family, we will find the best solution for our sweet Derek. 

-POKEMON-
Derek is 100% into Pokemon right now. He lives and breaths Pokemon, and we are not sad about it. As a family each night we settle in and watch an episode before bed. Derek loves it so much, there have been tears cried when something goes wrong, or its time for bed, and we can't watch another episode. I am really loving this phase right now. 


AKA- DILL PICKLE- 
Dylan is our funny little pickle. He is the most active little boy, who loves to read books, snuggle, and play with his little brother. He loves to chew on this fingers and go up and down on the couch a bunch of times. He loves to climb and needs to know about everything going on. 

-MINI FOLLOWER-
He may be the spitting image of his daddy, but he is my follower. He follows me to every room and does not like me to leave without him. He loves to go bye-bye, and talk to everyone. 

OWN PERSONALITY-
He is developing his own personality, and right now he is into PJ Mask, Paw Patrol, and Baby Shark. He loves to sing and dance. 



-MASTERS PROGRESS-
This semester I am taking 2 classes towards my Master's Degree, with the hopes of being finished by Fall 2019. Fingers crossed all goes well, and I can reach this goal. I am in  Research class right now, and I know for sure, research is not my thing, but I will get through it. 

-PROVIDING MY BEST-
The saying is true that the days are long but the years are short, and I see this truth more each day. As I am planning Dylan's second birthday, I am reminded of how quickly time really does go by. I find myself looking back at baby pictures of Derek, and I am sad that some of those memories have faded. At the end of the day, I want my kids to remember that I was present in their lives, and I am doing my very best for them. 





-MBA-
This past summer Ricky completed his MBA, and we are so proud of him. He has put in a lot of hours, hard work which has paid off, as he completed the program this summer. He is bound to do great things, and I am so happy I get a front row seat to all of his accomplishments. 

-KIND HEART-
Ricky has a very kind heart and would do anything for his family. He loves so big and is a great father to his kids. We are so lucky to have him in our lives. 


We love our dogs. I love coming home to them each day. I am so happy to have them, and they truly are a big part of our family. Hersey is our little rascal, who gets into everything, and Buddy is the calmest, fluffiest big teddy bear.

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
