a few months behind

I must be the worst blogger ever! To sum up the past few months in one word hectic. Let's see, my firstborn started his first year of high school, how utterly traumatic for his mother! He played on the jv football team, and tore it up! Keylei entered 7th grade, made the A team volleyball team, and is currently doing basketball. Little bit, went to a new campus going into the 3rd grade, she has done amazingly well.

We celebrated Tommy's grandmother's 80th bday in Sept. It was a beautiful celebration.
Following in October, Tommy was best man for his best friend, we are super excited for them!
Halloween came and went, with Keylei winning first prize out of the whole jr high for her costume.

It's now November and the holidays are fast approaching, with another teenager in our household.

More to come....

James Tristan

My oh so handsome boy

He is growing up too fast!

Summer Eleven

It's been a busy, busy summer here at the Allen household. Tristan had baseball until the middle of July, girls in gymnastics, and then of course football practices. The new school year is about to start and many changes are coming. I have a child in high school, one in jr. high, and one in intermediate. I am officially old! My babies are growing up, it's way too fast for this mommy, and very unfair!! Hopefully with some time on my hands coming, I'll have time to keep up with my blog....we shall see....

Shaving

Disturbing, hilarious, entertaining, depressing...yes that's the emotions that I felt. Still looking for that pause button, if someone finds it please send it my way..SOON!

saying goodbye to the "hitler" stache..

a little help from Dad--hence the disturbing part

I am not sure why Yummy is grinning, doesn't he realize what this means? He is a proud Dad..

How and when

This doesn't seem right somehow..

the love month

February, the love month, I call it this for many reasons but mainly because I was blessed with my baby boy this month. He truly made my heart know what love is..I am seeing many changes in him, they are coming fast and furious. Steadily moving this boy into a man. All of which make this mommy very sad. Don't get me wrong, I am glad that he breathes each day to welcome this new phase of life. He is such a smart, talented young man. Extremely handsome and very sweet! And no, I am not biased at all, truth is truth, and everyone knows I only speak truth. He'll never be too big for my lap, and he'll never outgrow my heart...
