The Allen Family

He was BEYOND EXCITED for the trucks he got from the Easter bunny!

I was so nervous for my birthday to come because I would be turning 30 and most of all this would be my first birthday that my Mom would not be here. We have lived far apart for years but she ALWAYS called to brighten up my day and always sent me a beautiful flower arrangement. Like most holidays I have been dreading the thought of them because it's hard to no longer have my Mom with me. I have to say I have the BEST family tho they made my day so SPECIAL and kept me from getting upset! My two loves sent me this beautiful arrangement! Some family friends got my this flower which smells so delicious! and of course my sissy and her family decorated my car and my house which was totally embarrassing but oh so cute! Dora even got me a birthday cookie and my favorite cadbury eggs! I actually even shared with the little man! So embarrassing I actually drove around with all the writing on my car but I think it helped me to not get a ticket when I speeding down Erda Way! LOOK WHO'...

Erwin & Aleta's wedding turned out so beautiful! We are beyond thrilled to see Grandma so happy and to combine our families. It's so funny that Angie and I have been the best of friends for so many years and that we always camped and hung out with David as well. It's so GREAT that we are all one big HAPPY family! Chris and Shay gave away their Mom All the grandkids were able to play a special part in the wedding Oh no were did Ryker go? Ryker using up all the bubbles Now maybe Grandma will not ask for so many kisses since she has Erwin to love on.... hee hee ! Enjoying so yummy cake! Those faces are priceless Ryker even got in on decorating the car We truly wish Erwin and Aleta a lifetime of LOVE and HAPPINESS! We could not have chosen a better man for Grandma to marry. They are both so lucky to have one another. Congratulations! We love you both so much!

The Easter bunny spoiled Ryker ! When Ryker first woke up Now it's registering their is some FUN things on the table GET ME OUT MOMMY! What do I dig into first? He needed Shay Shay to come play with him He WANTED to go "side" (outside) to play but we had to wait for Tessa to wake up We could not get Ryker to pick up eggs at first he was way into his trucks ad trailers. I love that he is starring at the egg. We did not think he was ever going to look for eggs but finally he got into it and he would pretend to be a "nee nee" and race to the next egg It's so fun to watch how excited they get

This year was an ADVENTURE to say the least. Ryker was really into the dye and wanted to basically bath in it or drink it. Serious business for Dax Ryker literally kept throwing eggs in the dye so we had a lot of cracked eggs that everyone got to eat. Pike is ALL smiles! Mischievous ! Mr. Gage Ryker's hands stayed blue the rest of the day! YUCKY! He wanted the dirt bike to match the eggs.... silly boy! Too funny! Decorating the eggs with stickers!

Chris is just a BIG kid himself! He loves the bubbles Some of the boys on one of their many rides He could not get enough of throwing himself in the sand Dax was taking care of Ryker Sand between my toes, fingers and up my nose! FUN in the sun and sand! I think Santa should have brought Ryker a motorized four-wheeler instead of the gator. Thanks Dax for letting Ryker ride your toy all weekend. The kids were pretending to be dirt bikes (nee nee's ) and jump! Daddy even got in on the fun! Faster faster faster Dax ! Ryker was taking Shay Shay on a ride..... hold on he gets a little CrAzY !
