Texas Chapter 2 - I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream!

Today we visited Brenham, TX which helps serve parts of the US with the yummiest Blue Bell ice cream. We went on a tour that taught us about how they make and package their delicious desserts. We were then served a large scoop of ice cream at the end. MMmmmm!

After we ate our ice cream we went to have lunch. Nothing like have dessert before lunch. My dad learned from Blue Bell Creamery a few years ago that there was a great sandwich shop in town.

It was called, "Must Be Heaven."

After lunch we we walked through town. I had a lot of fun taking pictures of the kids. My kids are tired of me taking their picture, so my sisters kids were quick to humor my need to snap away.

It was hot and the kids sat to rest. They are being a little dramatic on purpose.

Great Grandma Davis gave them each a quarter to buy gum from a gumball machine. Kipp was having way too much fun.

Adorable Kati Mae.

Jayden loved his Pink Lemonade.

Gotta love that hat!

I've always dreamt about the name of my street that I will live on when I actually own a house. This is definitely not one street I have ever dreamt of.

After returning home the kids threw on their swimming suits, I turned on the sprinklers, and they had tons of fun together. We are so glad to all be together.

Emma

Emma, who is 10, loves music and feels it inside. I LOVE to listen to her sing. When she knows a song well she can belt it out strong. She is not one that needs a microphone:) Her daddy loves to spend time with her singing. Often times he plays his guitar while she makes up songs. When Emma isn't singing, she is playing outside, or with friends. She wishes she could go camping more often and last night she informed me that she wished she lived in a place that had tons of lizards, animals, snakes, bugs, etc... I think she needs to go to the rainforest.

Sadie

Sadie, who is 7, is the jokester of the family. She is happiest if her joke actually makes someone laugh:) She has started a funky jazz dance class and seems to really enjoy it. It is fun to watch her work so hard at doing the splits. She loves anything girlie...make-up, dress-up, sparkly, etc... She prefers not to do any chores or housework:), but is getting better at it. She is known to pull everything out while playing and not be too interested when it's time to clean up. Mommy usually says, "Well, I'll do it, but I get to do what I want with it." That usually means I will throw it in the trash:) It's amazing how quick she moves once I volunteer!

Jayden

Jayden, who will be 5 in July, will start kindergarten real soon. He wasn't excited to do so, but is now accepting the idea that he won't be with mommy forever. Jayden loves to ride his bike, scooter, jump on the trampoline, and play with his friends. He loves to spot race cars and hear their engines rev. For some reason he can spot a mustang a mile away. He also loves to pretend that his bike is a motorcycle and he makes revving noises while he rides. He loves his sisters and enjoys playing with them too. He is very loving and tells me many time a day, "Mommy, I love you!"
