Have You Heard?

Ryan's getting MARRIED on Saturday!!!!!!!!



Her name is Jessica Campbell, she is from Provo and they are perfect for each other. Welcome to the family little sister!

If you give a kid some cheese...

Johnny is a horribly picky eater and the other night when we had TONS of yummy "Cafe Rio" food to eat, all he wanted was cheese on a plate. So we gave him plenty of shredded cheese to keep him busy for a while and started eating. A few minutes later we heard him giggling all by himself and saw him doing this... what a weirdo! But we sure love him!

What a great weekend!

We had such a fabulous weekend with Aunt Becca in town and plenty of conference to watch! Johnny was in heaven! He spent LOTS of times at Gramz house playing with her, Greggy, Andrea and his Aunt Boo (Beka). We love you Beka and wish you lived closer...hint hint!!



The girls and Johnny went to the new outlets while the men were at the Priesthood session.


This is actually the first Allen family picture we've taken since John and I got married.


And this is the first family picture we've taken since the hospital. We all look pretty gnarly in it!


Me and the Beka...and Andrea!

A Little Photo Shoot

Livy and I had ourselves a little photo shoot today. Good times.





No she's not always cross eyed.

Hangin Out

Here are some "around the house" pictures. We are loving this family of four business!


Livy loves her daddy! They bond every night so mommy can get a head start on her sleep!


Pretty Girl


Johnny is obsessed with all of these little animals and thought he would share them with his little sister. It was adorable, I walked in and he had laid them all around her bouncy seat and was singing "Twinkle Twinkle" to her.


Livy and Gramz Neese had to get to know each other again after her trip to Utah. We love spending days at gramz house!

She's One Month Old!

I'm so happy to report that I've survived the first month! Aside from a few meltdowns, a few sleepless nights and learning how to get around town with two kids, it has been fine! I've loved getting to know this little peanut of mine, how she likes to be held, how she likes to sleep, swaddle or no swaddle, those sorts of things. She is a very good baby. I have been very blessed!

All of the clothes I have for her are still too big so she looks like a clown. Sorry Livy girl!


Both of my babies have loved tummy time even when they're this tiny. She loves to look around, especially when Johnny's face is right in front of her!


There's nothing better than a clean smelling baby!

Rodeo Day!

It's Rodeo time in Houston again which means we choose the hottest day to go (this year was no exception!), pay WAY too much to park, enter and eat, and we all have a blast! Johnny loves all the animals, the tractors and all the cowboys, John loves all the food and I love...having something fun to do on a Saturday that does not include yard work and/or laundry! It was a great day and we can't wait for next year!



Check out my sweet new stroller. I LOVE it!


Mmmmmmm....corn dogs.


Cows. And another look at the stroller :)


The petting zoo actually let the kids feed the animals. Johnny was in heaven.
