Happy Birthday Dylan

-
It would not be true "mom" fashion of me to not post a birthday post 1 month later.
Last month we celebrated Dylan's birthday and I am so pleased with how it turned out.
As you know Dylan's nickname is Dill Pickle, aka "Pickle" so this year we embraced the theme and ran with it. How often can you throw a "pickle party".  It came together nicely and we all had a great time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DYLAN!! 



Derek was more excited about the cake than Dylan was. 


After the first bite, he loved it.

Not Pickle party would be complete without a Pickle Pinita!!! 

Although Dylan was not into it.

Dylan these past two years have gone by so fast. You have changed my life in so many ways. I have more things on my plate than ever before, but I love that I get to be your mom. You are so special, and you look up to your big brother in so many ways. I pray that your bond continues to grow, and you know how much you are loved!!!
Happy Birthday!!

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.
