Holiday Season Part 2

Holiday Season 2018 Part 2

Santa Came. I was so excited for the boys, that I didn't sleep much Christmas Eve. The next morning Derek came to the bed and said, Mom, there are presents under the tree. For our house, we wait to reveal all the presents Christmas morning, so it is a big reveal. 



We patiently waited for brother and daddy to wake up so we could open presents. 


Oh my, what a big Nerf gun you have. 



We always need new Dallas Cowboys gear. 


Derek got a whole collection of Pokemon Plush toys, and he was so happy to open Pikachu. 


The item Derek wanted the most was a Spider-Man costume and Santa didn't disappoint. Since little brother is into all the things big brother is into, he thought it would be nice if they got matching costumes. 



Big Brother Love. 


After a little play time, we headed to DeQueen to have Christmas with the family. 


Then games afterward, I am so grateful that my kids have the opportunity to spend time with their great grandpa. 


Back home and a quick picture of my favorite 2-year-old. 


The next day we spent time playing dress-up and play-doh. 


Dylan loves for you to be right there with him, and he demanded that I "sit". 


One of my favorite things Derek and I have done a lot more of is spending time together after bedtime. After he is tucked in, and I am watching TV, he will sneak out of bed, and crawl in my lap and ask to watch a cooking show with me. He loves to "be up late" and I love that I get to create a special memory with him. 



I also love all the extra time I have been able to spend snuggling this little feisty, wiggly boy.

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

And the Beat Goes On

Week 5: Week 5 was week 4 and it was rough. I didn't have a successful week. I was busy and was struggling with the whole workout thing. I was only able to "run" twice this week. Thursday night, which is an off night to run anyways, I just wasn't into it, and I didn't even make it a mile. One of the reasons was, my body gave out on me. I didn't feel good, sick to my stomach, so i had to cut it short. Friday, woke up and felt like I ran face first in to a brick wall, HARD. That made me a little gun shy, so I took a long break. Week 6: SLOW GO!! I dont know what is up with me! I have lost my "mo-jo". Why can't I get out the door? Where did my excitement go?  I don't know what has happened. I guess Life has gotten in the way! I was only able to go twice this week, and I did pretty good, and I felt good about it. Week 7 and 8: Running has taken a back seat to my life! I haven't been going! I still want to do it, and I know that I am not
