The Allen Family

We found out on the 13 th of November that we are expecting our tinniest little lovie ! Ryker was really proud of his new shirt but I do not think he quite gets what is coming. This is how we announced that we were having another baby to family and friends. We keep asking Ryker if he wants a baby brother or sister and sometimes he seems excited and other times he says NO! Well Toota Bug you are going to have another sibling so Mommy and Daddy are going to do our best to prepare you! We know Ryker will be a GREAT big brother and we are so excited to complete our little family. Our tinniest little lovie is due to arrive July 26 th !

Dr. Gould said that our little man is healthy as can be and advanced for his age! We were thrilled to hear that news because he is stubborn when it comes to learning certain things. Poor Toota Bug had to get one booster shot but he handled it so brave. 26.4 Lb. (5 th to 10 th %) 36.6" (45 th to 50 th %)

Ryker, How in the world are you 3 years old? You have made these past three years the best years of our lives. You are so full of spunk, humor and excitement. You talk are ears off every day and have to tell us about everything and anything. It’s so much fun to hear the things you come up with. You want to be involved in everything and get pretty dang mad when you are not able to be because you are too little. Like always everyday is an adventure with you. We get compliments all the time about how polite, sweet and cute you are. Believe us you can be a terror at times too but we love every minute of it. Mommy is really worried that you are going to go off to college and still not go #2 in the potty. Please oh please go sometime soon! We are so blessed and grateful to have you as our son. You light up our lives and make us so happy. We love you more than we can explain and are honored to be your parents. We love you Toota Bug! Happy 3rd Birthday! Love, Mommy & Daddy

Spiderman was a little under the weather this year so he fell asleep as soon as we got into the car But then he woke up to save the world with his super powers Our little S piderman and Snake Eye Briggs and Dora (aka Glitter Diva) Ryker was so much FUN this year he loved to go up to the doors and say "Trick or Treat" then a little "Thank you" I could not figure out the fake eyelashes so I settled for some bling He LOVED the mask and wore it all night I think he thought all the commotion and celebration was for him because its his birthday! Trunk or Treat

We carved pumpkins the day before Halloween at Dora's house. Good thing she remodeled the kitchen because we had A LOT of pumpkins to carve. Grandma made Ryker this "Bob Marley" beanie and he did not want to take it off He got really into it this year Its serious business decorating pumpkins This is right up Briggs alley, he loves anything creative! I love these girls! Grandma had a HUGE pumpkin Daddy always does something so neat. He drew up his own monster to cut out.
