The Allen Family

I love the holidays and all the fun things we get to do as a family. Chevron's company Christmas party was at Zoo lights this year. It was a lot of fun and fairly warm.  We celebrated Thanksgiving with my family the weekend after we got back from Mesquite. I sure love these people of mine!

You seem to LOVE junior high and have grown so much physically and mentally this past year. I cannot believe how much a year can mature a person. You are doing so well with your grades so far this year in junior high. I think you love the independence that junior high gives you. Your loves are still motocross, hunting and the xbox. You got to go on a once in a lifetime trip to South Africa this past June. You harvested a warthog, impala, blesbuck and a zebra. Dad says you are one hell of a shot. You had the time of your life but got homesick and missed your mama. That is okay because your mama missed you terribly. We constantly hear about m...
