I know!

Yea, yea, I know--My blog called and it wants and update, I've heard it!! My life, just like everyone else, gets really busy. I would love to be able to keep up all the time but oh well. Please enjoy the following updates.

Good Bye


It seems like we have had to say good bye a lot lately. Nick and Jen and their girls moved on a few weeks ago. We miss them a lot. It was so fun to have them with us while they were. They have found a new apartment and Nick will be going to school. We miss their friendship and their talking. Nick and Jesse going on about hiking and I miss Jen just knowing me.


I miss these eyes!


And this cute little smile!!


We all really miss the acrobatic ability of this cutie pie!! She could fly through the air and beg for more.



Cameron misses his wrestling mate!!

Moving Marnie


As we moved the Allen Family to Texas we had a lot of fun. "We" consisted of me, Marnie, Katie, Lainey, Fae,Chloe and Cameron all stuffed into my car that seats 7. Just because it seats 7 doesn't mean that you should travel for long distances that way.


We were all pretty packed in with stuff at our feet and all around us. The kids were really good for the 24 hour drive. The first day we drove about 15 hours and the kids and adults were spent.


So we stopped and stayed the night in Kansas. They just knew that the beds were meant for jumping on, right?


Lainey and her cute pigtails.


We helped Marnie and the kids get moved in and settled and the last night we were in Texas we had a birthday party for Fae. Jesse flew into Texas so that he could drive home with Cameron and me. We got all the cousins together and had a lot of fun.


Aunt Krista had a scavenger hunt for the cousins. They thought it was great.


Love that cute Fae!


The boys with their sword bubbles.

February Blue and Gold banquet

This year for Blue and Gold banquet the scouts had to make a cake with their dad. It was really fun to watch Cameron and Jesse bake. They did a really good job, much better than I do actually, and their cake turned out great. Too bad we didn't find out until later that it was a cake decorating contest, oops!!

I love this picture of them from the back. It shows one of the very few differences between Cameron and Jesse. Cameron has a duck tail. Cameron is a mini Jesse and it seems to get worse every day. The only thing that Cameron got from me was a couple of freckles and moles-ewww!
Cameron giving his presentation for the night on Texas.

Since we didn't know that it was a decorating contest the cake was already frosted and sprinkled with green. When I told Cameron that the other cakes might look really fancy because they were decorating them for the contest he told me to wait right there because he had an idea. He ran upstairs and got LEGOS of course and started decorating. I love him!!!
