A request...

I have had a request that I update my blog since it has been well over a month since my last post. A lot has been going on since I last blogged on here. As I blog I am having to look at my calendar to recap all that has happened. 

First of all William now has 12 teeth and is talking a whole lot. His vocabulary is up to 11 words and counting. He really enjoys going to the park, running wild in the backyard and his nightly baths. He has become a really picky eater and will not eat any sort of meat. He loves anything with bread and cheese and loves spaghetti just like his mommy. So for those of you who read this that have any suggestions for meal ideas me to try let me know.

At the end of March, the Kengs had there first camping trip as a family and we all loved it. William loves the outdoors. The night time was a little scary and stressful especially camping with a toddler. I think we may wait a little longer for our next camping excursion but I would definitely go again.

Then of course Easter came and William had three Easter egg hunts to go to. It took him a little bit to understand the whole hunting process but by Easter Sunday he was on his way. The last week of April we flew down to Lubbock to visit my family. It's always nice to see them. Oh how I miss them. I wish we could see them more.  During our visit William got sick and therefore I got sick. We didn't do a whole lot other than just hang out at my parents house. I will post pictures of the trip at the end.

This past Saturday was the annual Giddings Giddyup 5k as well as the fair and rodeo. Wesley  ran and I walked with William. Wesley won 2nd place in his age division and has a nice ribbon hanging on the fridge. :) I am so proud! After the race we took a trip to Houston to visit some family of mine who I have not seen in five years. I have missed them and I was so excited I had the opportunity to make a quick trip to visit. I am so glad I live close to them and will be paying them frequent visits in the near future. I think that just about raps it up. Until next time here are a few pictures.

Weekend in San Antonio

I took my first trip to San Antonio the weekend before last. I really enjoyed the city. It is quite nice. We met my family from Lubbock there and had a nice reunion. The twins had a soccer tournament there and did okay. During our visit to San Antonio I finally got to see the Alamo. It was my first trip & my sons (who is 18 months old) second trip to the Alamo . Here are few pictures.
