The Allen Family

My niece Brandi went to her "Junior Prom" on Saturday night I could not resist posting some pictures of her. She looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It was a fun day for me and my sis getting Brandi all dolled up. We both had to shed a couple tears because she is so grown up! Two of my favorite people in the world- Brandi and my daddy!

He sure pulls some funny faces!

We went camping over Easter as usual, we headed out Thursday night and stayed until Sunday at Cherry Creek. We had a GREAT time and the weather somewhat cooperated. All the kids had a big Easter egg hunt and had so much fun. I cannot wait until next year when Ryker will have fun with them as well. He did love his toys the Easter bunny brought him although he would rather slobber all over them then try to figure them out. I cannot believe what a great little camper he is. He sleeps really well in the camper and loves to be outside watching everyone ride their dirt bikes and atv's . I love these boys!

We went to the PT on Friday and Ryker seemed to just love the lady. He was flirting away with her and being excellent. After she examined him she advised me that she does not think he has Torticollis and that maybe he is being a little lazy at times. She did give me some exercises to do with him and wants to see us back in two weeks just in case, but if everything looks the same we do not need to go back to her again! Yeah I am glad my little stink is just fine. I knew that he did not like the male pediatrician forcing him around and that he just likes to flirt with the girls and they can do whatever....

The other night Chris and I watched Briggs (my nephew) for my sister and here is how some of our conversations went. Note: I was making sloppy joes for dinner and I did not have any hamburger buns so I asked Chris if he would run to the store. I did not have any cash on me and I did not want him to use the debit card for a couple dollars so i just gave him some change. As we were watching tv later on that night the "cash for gold" commercial came on and here is what Briggs said: Briggs- "Emmie you should do this." Me- "Why?" Briggs- "Because you have no dollars and I did not even ask for a toy at the store with Chris." He is so thoughtful of others.... and himself! ( lol ) Briggs is such a good boy with Ryker and loves to help out so I asked him if he wanted to help me give Ryker a bath. Of course he wanted too so we got him in. The next thing I know Briggs is getting him wet with a little cup and says, "Look Emmie I am watering ...
