The Allen Family

At times Ryker drives me to drink throughout the day and my patience runs thin. After reading this I know I need to learn to have better patience because before I know it my sweet babies won't be little anymore!

Ryker was in the back of the car drawing on this pad of paper and sticking stickers to it. I seen he was stickering himself but he knows NOT to color on himself. I told him not to stick stickers on Larkyn because she could choke on them, he said he didn't. Anyways a little while passed and he told me look Mom I am a tiger. Damn kid he is so cute its hard to get mad. So we go to take Larkyn out of the car seat and Chris is like "Oh my".... YEP he colored and stickered her as well. I wanted to put a sign on Ryker that reads "WILL PAY YOU TO TAKE" and put him out in the front yard! I was at my wits end that day! HEE HEE!

Grandma loves to put her hair in pony tails. I swear she is the BEST baby!

We had a GREAT day hanging out with the Bell's checking out the expo, lunch and shopping at Scheel's. These two cuties adore each other! They have the faces to show they were making sounds Our beautiful princess Daddy teaching Ryker to shoot These two are going to be HELL when they get older!

Ryker colored this special rock at pre-school and he insisted we put it under his pillow so as he says, "The wish will come out of my head". I have never heard of this so I asked him what he wished for and he said a toy dirt bike. Well low and behold that clever little leprechaun got him just what he wished for. He was so excited although about 10 minutes later he told me he wanted 2 of them. Good thing that sneaky leprechaun took the rock. Since when did St. Patty's day become like the tooth fairy?

 I will give a little recap of the days so I can remember and decide if its really worth it if Larkyn ever needs her out. HEE HEE! Day of surgery - We gave Ryker the medication to make him much calmer since I knew when they would take him away from us he would be so upset. Well I 100% would do that again he could have cared less who took him plus they said it makes them so they don’t remember much so its less traumatizing. The surgery only took about 20 minutes and then he was in the recovery room about 15 minutes before I could go back to be with him. Once in recovery they want them to drink 4 oz. which Ryker was on his way to doing but once again the anesthesia does not sit well with him so he threw up. He continued to throw up 3 times so after 3 different medications and saline flush and 3 plus hours in recovery we finally got to go home. When home he was eating popsicles, brownies and crackers and acting normal as can be! Day 2 - Was HELL! Ryker hates the lortab he needs whi...

Ryker had a tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy and they explored his throat with a scope to help with his reoccurring strep throat and croup.   The whole ride into the hospital Ryker kept complaining he was hungry, that was so hard not to give him something to eat.   When we got there he was entertained with the toys so he forgot all about his hungry belly. We didn't tell Ryker ahead of time what was going on because he is a little worry wart like his Mommy. Primary Children's is such a GREAT Hospital! They gave him a doll to color Daddy drew a batman symbol on the back so it looked like a little Ryker The nurse came and let him pick out his scent for when they put him to sleep he chose bubblegum Batman Watching some cartoons Little Ryker is ready to go We gave Ryker the medication to calm him because we knew he would have a hard time leaving us. It was kicking in! He could have cared less who was taking him. Thank goodness because I...

What a FUN way to spend a very snowy Saturday. Our girl is always smiley! Tuckered out This is the only picture I got of Ryker from the day because Bear and him were going 100 miles per hour all day! Sissy sits so well now.... I hate that she is growing up so fast! It was fun to spend the day with Tulsa, Spring, Braxton, Bear and Tulsa's Dad!

He "MANED UP" to the plate so I didn't have to and got a little snip snip. We are officially staying a family of 4. We are COMPLETE and couldn't be happier with our lovies!   Chris has the highest tolerance to pain I have ever seen. He never gets nervous of queasy. OBVIOUSLY as he is smiling! The meds were making him sleepy He was watching the procedure and was a little loopy from the meds. He tells the doc all seriously "Your job sucks having to work with dicks all day"! I was MORTIFIED but the doctor and nurse were laughing so hard they had to take a break. Good thing they have a sense of humor. When the doc was done he was teasing with Chris and told him "Okay your goods are in that bag" (he really didn't say goods but the proper names for them. I am just too embarrassed to write it and cannot believe I am even blogging about this but it was too funny and I dont want to forget this stuff.... HEE HEE) so Chris looks at me and say...
