Tarren's 2nd Birthday

Yesterday our baby boy turned 2! It is hard to believe it has been 2yrs already, but it has been 2 of the best years of our lives. We love having Tarren in our family and love seeing him grow. He has become such a big boy and it is so great to be able to communicate with him better. We still have those moments of where we are not sure what he is saying, but they are becoming less and less. We decided to just have a small family dinner and celebrate his birthday. Last year, we spent more money on the party and less on his presents. This year we decided to spend less on the party and more on his presents. It was a lot of fun to see the family and to celebrate with them. I can't thank my mother-in-law enough for all she did yesterday. She did A LOT to help us out with the party and the clean-up. She is the best mother-in-law ever! I really am glad that she is in our lives! We are excited for the years to come!

Easter!!

We went down to Pearland last weekend to celebrate Easter early. We had a fabulous meal and then we had the easter egg hunt. The older kids were not allowed to get any eggs that were on the ground. These eggs were for the smaller kids. Tarren was the first one out the door. He ran right past all of the eggs and to the ditch that he had been playing in earlier.

He did not have any interest in the eggs whatsoever. Spencer had to take his hand and point to an egg and tell him to put it in the basket. Almost, like they were cleaning up his room.

He got his fair share of eggs and then he took off back to the ditch to play. After awhile, the confetti eggs were brought out. This is a tradition they do every year. I was exempt from having one smashed over my head this year because I was pregnant. It is very hard to get all of the confetti off normally, but can you imagine when you are pregnant. There are parts of your body you can't even see so I am sure those little bits of paper would find themselves in spots where they wouldn't be noticed for awhile. Tarren and Carrigan even got involved with the eggs.
