The Allen Family

I will be taking a lot of anxiety medication watching these lovies grow up. They both love to ride and although it makes me happy it scares me to death too. Whoot! Whoot!

Ryker had 2 little cavities in between his last molars on the top, one on each side. I felt like a failure that he has a cavities but I have to admit we are not the best at flossing everyday. We have learned our lesson and now floss daily.   They gave Ryker 3 different medications to take an hour before the appointment to make him loopy and calm. I didn't think it was working until we got there and he tried hopping on one foot. It was so funny! He did great throughout the whole appointment. He actually fell asleep while the dentist filled the cavities. I was so nervous he was going to throw a fit because he hates doctors/dentists but he has been getting better.   Smiling on the laughing gas! He was a complete angel.... I was one PROUD Mama! 

Finally it has been nice enough to get out and play outside. We have had such cabin fever and really needed to get out of the house. We headed out to the sand dunes for a day of fun.   Sis just wants to ride Daddy's bike The kids were loving the weather as well Silly boy He loves the sand Sis needed a little cat nap Even the big kids played in the sand She didn't know quite what to think. She was okay playing with the sand on her terms but if she fell down she didn't want to use her hands to get herself up. DIVA! Friends for life! Daddy and his little man She wanted to roll around too.... notice the hands! Sliding Lexi just loves her girl Larkyn

Miss Larkyn was invited to Braydee's 3rd birthday princess party. It was a lot of fun and so girly!    The beautiful princess Braydee! Larkyn's princess crown we made Pinata time!    Happy 3rd Birthday sweetie!  Then it was off to Ashlyn's birthday party at Grandma's house  Crazy girl! Happy 5th Birthday Ashlyn!

This is Sis' concentration face while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. What's up with her pony? Ryker the professional photographer.... Selfies of his ears? And random shots of his sissy We went to Hunting Expo. The kids had so much fun but Larkyn got popped out! This saying couldn't be more perfect for the love of my life..... I love you Poopsie!

We surprised Mr. Ryker with a one and one date to Monster trucks. He didn't know what we were doing until he walked into the Energy Solutions building. He was so excited. Uncle Brett hooked us up with tickets in the Staker Parson's suite. That is seriously so nice to be seated there. Chase and Ryker didn't take their eyes off the arena Love my little man Daddy telling him all about it His favorite "Grave Digger" Of course treats were a must and toys Go Grave Digger!!! I love getting to spend one and one time with out lovie. I want both of my kiddos to feel special and loved. What a Great day!

Can you say PROUD parents? Look at how much he has improved since the beginning of the year. Plus both of his teachers said he knows even more than what he tested corrected on. I know this as well because he does more than this at home. I LOVE seeing his improvement and hard work. His teachers said he is doing great and that he is an active little boy. They said he has had to be taken out of the circle at times because he is being disruptive but he always snaps back into line quickly because he doesn't like to be left out. They also said that is typical for boys and its nothing to worry about. Way to go Toota Bug!

Larkyn was a pill in the doctors office and was throwing some awful fits. The terrible 2's are in full force around our house! Honestly though we wouldn't want it any other way she completes our family, is so much fun and has us laughing all the time.  Her 18 month stats are- 20.14 lb (5 to 6%) 31" in length (30%) 18.75 head circumference (80%) She is a petite little thing but they are not worried because she is following in her brothers footsteps.    At 18 months Larkyn    - Still doesn't talk as much as Ryker did but the doctor says she is above average on words so don't worry. - She is a healthy baby! - She is smarter than a whip. We will tell her to do something and she knows exactly what to do and get. - She loves to be around her brother and do whatever he is doing. - She hates to have a poopy diaper and will bring you a diaper and say "stinky" as soon as she goes. - Obsessed with shoes.... any bodies shoes...

Grandma made Larkyn a Minnie Mouse blanket and she has been obsessed with it taking it everywhere. Awe lovies We watched Travis and Milly's little ones while they attended the funeral of their sweet baby nephew Aiden.   The kids had a lot of fun together. Lunch time Ryker had been dying to see "The Lego Movie" so we headed out with Tulsa, Spring, Bear, Randy, Niesha. Kaitlyn and RJ to the movies. Both of my lovies were as good as gold and Larkyn even made it 3/4's of the way through before she feel asleep.   The popcorn is bigger than her! Ryker says we HAVE to buy this movie!
