Spring Break

Actually, Truston doesn't really get Spring Break, it was just a week off between terms, and it happened to be the week before every body else's spring break. But we wanted to have FUN FUN FUN in the SUN, so we stay-cationed around town with Truston. Can't complain about this weather! This is a picture of the medical center from Herman Park (across the street).


He did have to go into school one day, so we dropped him off and went to the zoo. This baby giraffe was born the week before we visited, 6 feet at birth! He was so cute. Logan, especially, loved the animals.

We went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo one day. It was awesome. I love the rodeo. I had never been with kids before, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much stuff they had for kids to do. We watched some mutton bustin', saw a lot of cows, sheep, pigs, chicks, etc. The baby animals were especially cute. Logan loved the petting zoo, he ran from animal to animal petting them.

There was a 'Farmer Joe' exhibit to show kids where food comes from and how it gets to our stores, complete with a tractor. That was a big thrill for Talmage.
For Christmas this year, I bought some tickets for Truston to go to the NCAA indoor track and field championships at A&M. We went on Friday and Saturday night to watch the races. It was AWESOME! It is so amazing to watch such talented athletes at the height of their skills. We totally enjoyed the meet. This isn't a very good picture, but this is Jeff Demps (the running back for Florida State) being interviewed by an ESPN reporter after he WON the 60M. This guy is HUGE and he is FAST. (you didn't know that i liked track and field? huh, neither did i)
I took this picture because I didn't think it would last very long...sure enough BYU was beat out by A&M and Florida State. But we were proud to cheer for BYU, all the athletes they brought were awesome and the men ended up placing 3rd.
And a little photograph of Truston and I in the bleachers.
YAY for spring break! It was nice to enjoy some time together as a family doing so much fun stuff.

Riding Bikes

So, remember this bike?
We got it for Talmage at a garage sale this sale this fall and he loved it. For about 2 days. Something about the construction of the bike made it impossible to fit training wheels. And he didn't want to ride it with only one training wheel. go figure.
So we decided to try a 'skut' bike. Only they cost about $100 dollars. Luckily, Wal-mart has a knock off (I love that place) for only $30 dollars. We got it last week and Talmage LOVES his new 'scooter bike'. He was pretty wobbly at first and would NOT let go of the hand-brake. But, after a week, he's catching on and getting pretty good. In this video he is kind of wobbly because he was showing us a 'trick'. He also thinks he can do 'wheelies' and 'jump' sewer lids. Anyways, we're glad he has some bigger wheels. He's been looking pretty ridiculous on his tricycle for some time now.
So,

Down the Hill

Maybe the greatest altitude change in the whole city of Katy.

Logan on the fire truck

When ever we go outside to ride bikes, Logan grabs our little fire truck. Although he loves it, he's not very fast. In fact, he almost goes the same distance forward and backward.
