The Allen Family

 How is he this old and can he get any more handsome?  We are here!  Waiting with his teachers Mrs. Debbie, Mrs. Melodie and Mrs. Nicole  Inside to his classroom  He only has 3 other kids in his class so he should get lots of one on one time which I am excited about!  So proud!  Last year was a nightmare he cried and didn't want me to leave him and this year he was like see ya Mama! The only picture that is missing is this Mama crying when I got out to the car.

Seriously does it get any cuter? He is so excited to start school again.  I LOVE the little man he has become. He makes me so proud and honored to be HIS Mama! Wearing the nerd glasses was the best part! Your not suppose to be smiling when your asleep Toota Bug! This was honestly the fastest photo session I think Heather @ Frippery Photography has ever done. I told Ryker if you smile and be good it will quick and painless. He was so cooperative because he wanted to go show everyone he could ride his pedal bike without training wheels.

Ryker went with Daddy to sight in his gun and had his first shooting lesson (8/18). He did really well and loved every second of it. He said he is ready to hunt now!

Going for a cruise with Grandma Then Daddy How is our boy old enough to ride a bike with no training wheels? We took Larkyn to the doctor and dropped Ryker off at Grandma's. As we dropped him off we teased him to take the training wheels off and Grandma sent us a video literally 15 minutes later of him riding by himself. She said she held on twice and then he took off on his own. Now he likes RACE! He is a natural. We have had to take the bike everywhere we go to show off his skills. Sis loved the rides!

Silly girl wouldn't take this hat off at Milly's Ryker was helping at Erwin's house and found a little friend! They were playing boxing and had broken noses Gage and Ryker chopping the tree stump at Erwin's OH MY! Grandma took Sis and Ryker to see the movie "Planes" Dora, Brycie, Briggs and I went school shopping. We had the mustang trunk LOADED! Silly kiddos At a birthday party at Bear's, Adalyn and Larkyn had fun playing with each other. We love Sunday naps Damn he is good looking Her favorite thing to do with Daddy The Skull Valley wildfire. Way too close for comfort! As we drove up the canyons to check out the wildfires we came across this ugly scary tarantula. Getting into mischief at Milly's Playing derby cars These lovies keep us on our toes! At the AMA outdoor race series, Ryker was getting tattoos from this funny guy!

This little punk-a-do as Papa calls her went to the doctor yesterday. We talked about how she is hitting or exceeding all her milestones. We also talked about her feet being slightly turned in. Our doctor said that her feet are very flexible and should straighten out the more she walks. He said if they don't get better which he is not concerned about that she would see an orthopedic surgeon who would probably cast them when she is quite a bit older. All in all it was a good visit besides the 3 shots.... sniff sniff! 1 year old stats- Weight- 18.6 lb. 10% (yes he have tiny babies) Height- 28" 25% Head Circumference- 75th to 80th%   At the BIG 1 year of age Larkyn does-   Walks the couches, walker anything but doesn't dare let go yet Can stand a few seconds without holding on Crawls at the speed of lightening Laughs at her brother or any kid Loves to snack and eats solid foods great Still is not a huge drinker Sleeps from about 8:30 p.m. to 7...

Grandma has watched Larkyn since she was a month old while I worked part time. Milly didn't want to take on two infants at once (which I do not blame her) so our deal was she would start watching Larkyn when she was a year old. We have appreciated Grandma so much for taking care of Sis for a whole year and saving us so much money. She loved being with Grandma and has formed a strong bond with her so much that sometimes she wants Grandma instead of Mama (sniff sniff). On 7/31 we were excited for Larkyn to start her new adventure of going to the big kid babysitter with Ryker. She has went for 3 days now and seems to really enjoy herself. I thought her and Harley would really have fun together but as of now she wants to follow the big boys everywhere. Ryker sure loves having her go with him. She adores Easton! She is not the greatest napper so she is quite wore out when we pick her up Some days its instantly when you get in the car. Last Friday she was so tired from...
