The Rays of Sunshine

I typically don't do a weekend recap, but I am trying to become a better blogger and since I knew this weekend had some fun moments I figured it was a good time to start.   This past week was the first week of class, it feels like it took forever for Friday to arrive, And I was so thankful it was finally here. After waiting for over a month and a half, we finally got our air conditioner fixed. About 2 months ago we begin to notice that the house was not cooling like it should be, so we had it check out, just to discover that the unit was over working and not cooling  properly! After many hot days and uncomfortable nights, we once again have a working AC.  We didn't do much Friday night! We had some playtime in Derek's room and decided it would be more fun to play on the bed without the mattress.  Then Derek decided that he needed to take a bath so he could play with all his Paw Patrol characters.  Saturday morning was filled with a pancake breakfast and wat...

ALL ABOUT DEREK. Since we just celebrated Derek's 4th birthday, I thought a post all about Derek would be fitting.  Here is one of my favorite pictures of Derek at 1 month old.  Words to describe Derek would be: fun, happy, silly, smart, and caring. Derek does not like you to be upset with him, or at anyone, and will always ask if you are happy. He thinks kisses make everything better, and he might be right. Derek loves to show off this rock collection. There is no real pattern to his collection, as most of them are from the parking lot at daycare, but he loves them. One thing I love about Derek is his love for comfy clothes. As soon as we walk through the door, he is headed to his room to change into comfy clothes, and wants to make sure we are in comfy clothes as well.  Derek is also reserved when it comes to meeting new people, but if he is familiar with you,  he will ask and answer all your questions and keep you enter...

Superhero Party Success! This past weekend we celebrated Derek's 4 birthday party, and it was awesome! Our fun weekend started out on Friday Morning, when we meet up with my brother and sister-in-law for breakfast. Since they live 5 hours away, we don't get to see them that much, so it was a real treat to spend the whole weekend with them.  Since they are not in town much we spent a lot of time trying out new places to eat and activities to do. They even introduced us to place we had not been before, so that was really cool. We spent the whole day hanging out with them, while Derek enjoyed playing with his cousins. On Saturday, we meet up with the gang to eat breakfast, then it was party prep all the way. I felt confident that I had all my ducks in a row, and just needed to finalize a few last minute things. I felt like I  was too prepare with what little bit I had left to do for the party. We were able to set up the church at 12, so I arrived at 12:25 and much to my ...
