Life with Dylan

  • Dylan’s Birthday Surprise

    Wow, I can’t believe my little boy is already 7 years old. Where did the time go and why did it have to go by so fast? He has grown into such a remarkable and special boy … I am truly blessed to have Dylan. Although his birthday party is not until Saturday the 17th, we spent his actual birthday together having a mommy and son day. We started by going to see the Disney Ocean’s movie which was absolutely amazing … the cinematography alone blew my mind. The fact that Dylan wanted to see a documentary about saving the world’s ocean’s is just so surreal to me, but he has always been this way. I have raised a boy who cares for the planet, the animals, and the environment in general … would I have it any other way? Hahaha, those of you that know me well are laughing too.

    Later in the day we went to Ruby’s for his birthday dinner. I swear if he could eat at Ruby’s every day he would be the happiest kid ever. Especially since he has discovered milk shakes! I surprised him with a special Ruby’s sundae after dinner and the look on his face was priceless.

    Gotta eat the cherry first ….
    then some whipped cream …
    Yep, he finished the whole thing!!
    Happy Birthday Dylan … I love you more than anything in this world. Although you will only hold my hand for a little while, you will hold my heart forever. 

  • Shooby-Dooby …

    Nothing beats the afternoon blahs like a trip down to the island. Amazing how much fun you can have just going to lunch …
    A simple drive down to Balboa Island, a ride across the ferry, and a short walk down to the Newport Pier. All so we could Shooby-Dooby, Down to Ruby’s for some good food and laughs. Dylan was happy to use his certificate he won for being the Top Otter Log Reader in his class, and I was happy I didn’t have to pay for his cheeseburger!
