The Allen Family

Wore out from a busy day of potty training!  1/10- day one/2.5 years old Accident 7 Success 5 No poop Dry after nap 1/11- Accident 3 1/2 Success 8 1/2  She did all the accidents in the morning before her nap at  9 No poop Dry after nap 1/12- Accident 3 1/2, 1/2, 1/2 Success 4 1/2, 1/2, 1/2 Pooped twice during nap time in her pull up Didn't nap so her pull up was wet 1/13- Accident 1/2, 1/2 Success 4 1/2, 1/2 Grandma had her for some of the day 1/14-  With Milly all day, she said she only had 1 full and a 1/2 accident. Pooped a little drop in the potty at Grandma's I quite keeping track because she has been doing so well. If we do have an accident it's a partial she will start peeing in her panties, catch herself then go finish in the potty. She had yet to poop in the potty yet though. PLEASE let her catch onto that faster than Ryker did.

 We had to go to Home Depot to get supplies for Grandma and Papa's kitchen remodel. Larkyn was less than impressed with the situation.  Ryker was our BIG helper  Miss Larkyn got a plantar wart on her foot that kept getting bigger and bigger. She would complain every once in a while that it hurt so I took her to the dermatologist fir 8llit to be removed. We treated it with "beetle juice" leaving it on there for only an hour. z,a, 

 Sis was doing some weird blinking with her eyes when she watched TV so I took her in to make sure she could see properly and was okay.   This babe loves going to the doctor and is so well behaved! She told the doctor she was "Puppy Bob" so he had to call her that the whole time, It was darling!  Luckily everything checked out great and our baby girl is healthy! 

This woman, daughter, mother, aunt, grandma, is MY sister and my BEST friend. I look up to her and lean on her so much. She is always there for me and my family. To wipe my tears, tell me to buck up, lead me the right way, talk of the edge of insanity, etc. Most sisters are close but I don't think most have had to endure our struggles. Instead of falling apart we grew closer. It's not always easy telling someone just exactly what they mean to you so I just wanted to share what a special Sissy I have. This gorgeous picture (Thanks to Frippery Photography) of my sister and her grandson/my great nephew is priceless and beautiful. This sweet boy Roper has brought our family even closer and I couldn't be more happier to have a new addition to our family. I love to watch my Sister experience and love on her first grandchild. And to watch my amazing niece Brandi become a Mommy which she is amazing at and truly was meant to be. I have never seen a first time Mommy be so calm, rel...

PaPa and Grandma are doing a HUGE remodel of their kitchen/dining room. Ryker got the first hit on the wall. It took a minute but it went in  PROUD of himself  Sis wouldn't hit the wall she was too scared. Taking down the cupboards for our garage.  I am shipping her off.... who wants her?  Another sleepover in the tent. How is he comfortable with all the treasurer's in there? 

Poor Larkyn gets Ryker's hand me down snow gear. I hate spending money on snow gear they only wear a couple times a year. So here is to miss matching clothing.... Sorry fashionista! David and Braydee She is ready! Daddy stole the hat beard! What a goof! They loved going down with Daddy Daddy pulled Sis back up the mountain Cutest boy! We made a little fire to stay warm Playing around! I love doing winter activities and my kiddos seem to enjoy it as well.

 Aleta made our annual New Year's Eve feast that was so yummy. We stayed and visited them for a bit then headed over to Crystal's house to have a few drinks and let the kiddos play.   All about the game systems Karaoke time I love Travis' singing stance BAHAHAHAHA  These two girlies melt my heart  Playing on my phone for a minute  And the count down begins  Ready to run outside with their noise makers, pots and pans and screaming voices!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!   Highlights of 2014- Family- Going on our first major family vacation to NYC, DC and PA (I LOVED IT!)
