Bryce & Brennon

We went down to Daisy, AR where Josh's parents live last weekend and came back on Tuesday.  We had a great time!  The weather was a little chilly but we still enjoyed it!

Bryce loves putting on puppet shows and the other day while I was folding laundry he decided to put on a show for us.  I had to get some pictures.

We LOVE going to the Little Rock Zoo and are so glad that we live so close now!  Nana and Papa went with us this Friday and we had a blast!  Brennon really enjoyed it this time!  Last year we went alot but he wasn't really old enough to enjoy it!  And I finally broke down and purchased a harness for him!  I have always hated those things, like your child is a dog or something, but when you have a child like him who does not stay close and throws huge fits if he is strapped into a stroller they are wonderful!  Thanks Nana and Papa for the passes!  We love the zoo and can't wait to go back!

Bryce has strep throat.  This is our first time to have strep throat at the Allen house.  Of course, I am no stranger to strep throat seeing as I had it every year until I was about 12.  They always gave me a shot for it though...but apparently that's not the way they do it anymore!  Which Bryce was very happy to hear!  He woke up yesterday morning asking for something to drink and then said his head hurt, so after guzzling a juice box he threw up all over my bed.  He was running a low grade fever all day yesterday but never threw up again.  But later mentioned his heading hurting again.  I fed him tylenol all day and he seemed to feel fine besides the headache, then today he was acting really normal and only complained about his head one time, but was still running between 99. and 100. fever.  We had planned on heading on our way to San Antonio, TX on Sunday, so as a precaution I went ahead and took him to the doctor this afternoon b/c I just couldn't get his fever to go away.  So when we got there he had a fever of 99.0 and a red throat, so the doc did a swap and 5 minutes later gave us the verdict.  We are on meds and the doc even gave us some antibiotics for Brennon incase over the weekend he gets fever and a red throat.  Better safe than sorry.  We will play our trip by ear - I'm sure Sea World can wait...but we sure want to go!!  Bryce has not really acted like he has been very ill which I am very thankful for...he's taking it like a champ!  Keep our little guys in your prayers.

Well, we are off to San Antonio.  We are all so excited about Sea World.  The boys sat infront of the computer yesterday and watched the Live Shamu Cam forever!  They are pumped - and so am I ;) - of course the outlet malls at San Marcos and the riverwalk do add to the excitement!  So I will be sure to post all of the hundreds of pictures I am sure to take over our trip!  Come back next week and check it out!

We are back from our very exciting and fun trip to San Antonio, TX.  The four of us went with Nana and Papa and had such a great time!!!  We went to San Marcos and shopped one day, then to the River Walk, and to Sea World.  We had so much fun and you boys did excellent on the trip there and back.  Couldn't ask for more.  I tried to make a slideshow - hope it works!
