The Allen Family has arrived!

Well I have finally done it and started our own family blog. I have kept up with so many people's blogs over the past little while that I decided to join the fun! I find it so interesting to read and learn about people. I also thought it would be a great way to document/journal about our little man Ryker.

Here is a little about us, Chris and I have been married for 5 years but have been together for almost 9 years. Wow that sounds like such a long time but it does not feel it. I guess its true that time flies when you are having fun! We had our first baby on Halloween of 2008, Ryker. He is a handsome little boy that weighed in at 6 pounds 7 ounces and was 18 inches long. We love being new parents and we have enjoyed having a new addition to our family. We waited until we were good and ready to start a family and I am so glad we did. It has given me the option to be able to be at home with our little man. Although I do work 10 days a month at our family business doing the bookkeeping but it's very flexible that if needed I can work from home or bring Ryker along. Also it's just around the corner from the sitter which is a great family friend and like a grandma to our little guy. Chris and I are so in love with Ryker that I am sure you will hear many of stories, events, etc. about him with this blog. He is truly a blessing that was brought to us and we are so thankful to have him in our lives.

We are an active family that is always on the go and is up for just about anything. We love to be outside riding our atv's/dirt bike's in the mountains, sand dunes or anywhere. Chris races his four-wheeler occasionally and has done quite well at it. And yes of course Ryker already has a dirt bike in the garage waiting for him to get bigger (lol)! Chris loves to hunt and fish and I like to tag along but not kill anything. We love to camp which we do a lot of during the summer months. Our family and friends are very important to us and we love spending time with them. We currently have 4 nieces Brandi, Brycie, Chaci, Peyton and 4 nephews Briggs, Beau, Cutter, Gage that we just adore.

Stay tuned for more fun from the Allen Family.......

4 years old?

Dear Ryker, How in the world are you 4 years old? I remember your Daddy handing me this tiny precious lovie like it was yesterday. I don't care how old or big you get you will ALWAYS be my baby, my first born that taught me so much. I never knew true, pure, deep love until I had you! This has been a BIG year for you.... you are FINALLY "poop" potty trained. Oh my Ryker I cannot believe how INCREDIBLY hard you were to potty train. Although we still have some pee accidents all in all you do great, I think you are just to on the go to take the time out from playing. You started preschool and you love it! Your best friends are Cash and Beckham (Bear). Some mornings you do not want to go and whine that you want me to go with you but you always go and come back home with the biggest smile and tell me how much fun you had. You are learning so much and it amazes me, I will listen and watch you play or watch a tv cartoon and you can usually answer all the questions correctl...

Happy MOTHER'S Day!

I LOVE Mother's Day. I love being a Mommy.... Ryker is truly the BEST thing that has ever happened to me and I am so extremely blessed that he is my baby! I woke up to Ryker saying "Happy Mom" and Chris and Ryker making me breakfast. I got a hand made card from Chris and Ryker and it melted my heart and made me cry like a baby. Chris and I talked before Mother's day and I asked him not to get me any gifts which he was disappointed in but we are in the process for buying a toy hauler and I wanted to make sure that was cut and dried before spending any money. Chris wanted to get me and promised me a seat to go on the back of my four-wheeler.... he spoils me! I love my two lovies so very much! Thank you for making my day so incredibly SPECIAL! I cherish every moment I have with the two men in my life! I've been called a lot of things in my life, but my favorite of all is Mommy! As Dora and I went the cemetery yesterday to decorate Mom's and Grandma'...

My poor baby boy

Ryker had a few bumps on his back that I noticed on Sunday. I figured it was his sensitive skin from us out camping and from me not putting an lotion on him. I hate to put lotion on him when we are camping because I feel like all the dust sticks to him and makes him even more dirty. Anyways on Monday he was so whiny and running a fever so we packed up and came home. Ryker struggled with the fever all night M onday and even actually slept with Chris and I which has never happened. I figured the fever was from two more of his teeth coming through. Anyway Tuesday when he woke up Ryker was normal again happy as can be so we went about our day. Well Wednesday I needed to go to work so I packed Ryker up to take him to Grandma Irene and I was telling her about these bumps on his legs that you could feel but barley see and she said her other granddaughter gets bumps all the time and it's no big deal. She agreed it was probable from camping and his sensitive skin. When Chris brought ...
