Little Monkey Man

We have a little monkey in our hands who sure loves bananas!!!

Snow day!!!

As I am sure most of you either heard on the news or experienced, last week in southern California we were hit with a week of storms. It brought tons of rain to us and tons of snow to the mountains. So what better to do on the first sunny day after the gloomy weather than head up to the mountains to see the snow. Needless to say, we (and the rest of southern California) had the same idea. We didn't make it all the way to Wrightwood but we still got to see and play in the snow. This was Derrick's first trip to see snow...and I sure he will remember it forever (totally joking - I know he never will so hence the pictures!!). I promised Doug I would put these up for him...enjoy my love...

Me and the nugget all bundled up

He looks so cute in his hat (thank you Grandpa and Nana Tooley!!)

The three little ones in their saucers (my nephew didn't care for the snow as you can see)

Mr. Snowman (aka Daddy's stand-in...although the snowman is a lot shorter than Doug, sorry babe)

Checkin out the snow

My sweetness

The three munchkins (as you can see my nephew realized it wasn't that bad)

Playing catch up....

So I must admit that I had fallen off the blogging wagon back when Doug was home for the holidays and now that is he out of contact again due to being in the middle of somewhere out there I thought I would jump back on and get this wagon rolling again. So here is a little catch up...some photos from the past month....

Back in daddy's arms

He couldn't believe the changes in our little nugget

Complete again!!

The 2 loves of my life.

Just cant get enough of these two

A beautiful day to be at Disneyland

My happy little boy

Just a little video for daddy....

Just wanted to post a video for Doug to see while he is out to sea. We miss him so much and cant wait for him to be back on the west coast!!

Tooting my own horn.....

This is the diaper cake I made for my sister-in-law's baby shower. I am so proud of how it turned out that I just have to share it with everyone!! She loved it and now I am trying to be patient in awaiting the arrival of my nephew. Derrick will only be 7 months older than his cousin! Less than a month to go....

It's Been Awhile

It sure has been awhile since I have updated our blog so I wanted to quickly share a cute picture of Derrick(aren't they all cute though?!)!! He did not do this himself but if I give him something to hold onto he will stand there with a big grin!! I can't believe he is already 6 months old!

Daddy Shout-out!

So this morning I was feeding little man some yummy oatmeal and he had something he wanted to share with me...

Happy New Year!!!

2010 is here!!!!!!!! You know what that means....only 18 more months of Doug's Coast Guard adventure :-) YAY!! I will post some New Years Eve pictures soon.....

Until then enjoy the new year!!!
