YEA FOR CLAPPING!!!

I had to post this little story real quick. So, yesterday at church before Tarren got sick all over me, he was alseep on my chest and he sat up with his eyes still closed clapped four times and layed back down. He never even woke up. Yes, my son sleep claps. Unfortunately for him, I think he is doomed when it comes to sleep walking/talking. Spencer slept walked as a child and I slept walked and talked as a child. I still do talk in my sleep according to Spencer. So...it should be a fun time for us. I do remember hearing funny stories of things I did in my sleep and I wish I could see them. I guess here is my opportunity. Yea for sleep walkers!!!

Spring Break 09 cont...

On thursday, we went to the zoo.





We went to the petting zoo. Tarren would just pet the ears of the goats.






We saw the piranhas. They had this neat tunnel you can go in.






On Saturday morning, we got up and went down to the park to go swimming. It was Tarren's first time in the water and I think he loved it. He enjoyed splashing around.





After that, we went to the rodeo. We sat on the tractors, went to the petting zoo, went to the farmer's market, got to see a live birth of a calf and we saw Brooks & Dunn that night. It was a blast. Oh and we got to have our fried twinkies/milky ways. Tarren was sooo good during the whole thing. He clapped along with the music and even tried to dance. It was cute. He is really getting good at the clapping thing. He loves to do it all of the time. On the way home, we were listening to a cd I bought that has a bunch of kid songs on it and Tarren was clapping along with the Bingo song. It was sooo cute. This whole week was a lot of fun and I am sad to see it end. I will be excited for when the summer comes. We can have more fun and exciting trips.

Spring Break 09

I was going to wait until the end of the week to post, but I figured the post would be way too long and I would probably leave out a whole bunch. So, I am posting a little at a time. Yesterday was the first day of Spring Break and it was nice to just relax at home. It was just Tarren and I for the most part. Spencer had to work. We went to the DPS to change the address on my drivers license and yes it has been two years since we moved to our house and I haven't changed it. I just haven't made the time to get it done. Unfortunately for me, I have a class B (so I can drive a bus) and I can't just change my address over the internet. So, we were there for about an hour. It wasn't too bad. The best part about it was that I didn't do my hair...I just bunned it and they had me take a new picture. So, that should be a lovely turnout of a picture and I get to keep it for 3 more years. After that, we went home and took a small nap. I LOVE naps!

I went for a jog with Tarren to the park. After I finished my run, I went inside and got paperwork so that we can go swimming on Wednesday. It should be pretty new and exciting. We went to the playground after that and he LOVED it. We tried out the swing first and I had to literally unpry his fingers to get him out. We probably would still be swinging if he had his way.

We went to the purple bouncy monster next. We pretty much got kicked off by a bunch of other kids. They were hovering and kept asking when we were going to be done. So, I just let him bounce a little and then left. Yes...I was bullied by a bunch of 4 &5 yr olds.

Our next stop was the slide. This wasn't as exciting to Tarren as I thought it would be. He seemed a little bored.

Last of all, we played in one of the tunnels. He wasn't quite sure what to do.

Today we went to the Blue Bell Factory. I have never been and this trip was probably more for me than it was for Tarren, but I think he really enjoyed it. Spencer, his mom, his brother, Tarren and I all hopped in the car around 9:30 this morning. We went up to Brenham. When we got there, we were really surprised at how long the line was. It weaved out into the parking lot. We got in line and were told that it was a good hour and half before we weould make it in. So, we stood in line. As we were in line, I decided to take a picture of Tarren and I actually caught him in the action of his new thing...putting his finger up his nose.

We finally made our way into the factory and it was really neat to see how everything works. After we came out, we ate our icecream...

played with the bucket and rode the cow...

we played frisbee and played on the train...

And last of all on our way out, we played with the bluebonnets

It was a very fun and exciting day for all of us. We left with a tummy full of icecream, lots of pictures and a t-shirt for all of us.
