Liar-Liar

Allan fell at some point last weekend and scrapped up his knee. Neither Kirk nor I ever saw him do it. When I saw his knee bleeding I asked him, Allan, what happened to your knee?"

Allan responded with this:

"Daddy bite." is what he's saying. Little liar.

Ashtyn's 1st Birthday

Ashtyn (Allan's cousin) turned 1 this past week!

Happy Birthday little Ashtyn!


Allan, on the other hand, had a blast playing in Ryan and Ashtyn's backyard.
A sand box and a trampoline!
What more could a kid ask for?!?!

His face was red and he was covered in sweat, but he didn't care and there was no way you were going to convince him to go inside.

Ryan is "Super Cool" according to his shirt.

Ryan and Allan had a blast jumping each other on the trampoline.



Allan found Ryan's football helmet. He didn't know what it was for, but he definitely knew where it went and he knew some kind of ball was to be used with it. Too bad the ball he thought went with the helmet was a basketball.
(Wondering what else he can get into...)
All in all, Allan had a fun time celebrating Ashtyn's first birthday.

Allan & Maegan


Allan and Maegan have been getting along really well with each other lately. They laugh at things the other is doing all the time. Allan loves to get in Maegan's face to tell her hi. He'll also give her hugs for no reason or pat her on the back. It's really cute to watch them.
Pretty much every day there's some kissing going on with those two.

Labor Day Weekend 2009

Last Saturday my parents took Allan and his cousin Ryan to spend the day down at what is now our bay yard. Thanks Ike.
Mimi and Papa drove their trailer down there for a place to stay. Back in the day as kids we'd spend holidays like Labor Day down at the bay house. It was so much fun. All of us cousins would play in the water all day while the aunts and uncles hung out and BBQ'd. Things have changed since Ike took out the bay house.
Allan didn't seem to mind that there wasn't a house there anymore. He'll never remember seeing what was left of it.
Allan had a blast playing in the water with Ryan. It was his first time to play in the beach and feel the waves and sand. I'm told the tiny wave that hit his feet first sent him running away from the water as quick as he could go.

Looks like he got over the waves real quick.
I'm told he had to get used to the sand too. He wasn't too happy with it being on his shorts at first. Mimi had to show him how to get the sand off with the water and he was cool after that.
Allan likes to do anything that Ryan does.
First time for him to get salt water in his eye. He wasn't too cool with that. He kept telling Mimi "eye. eye. eye."

As I said before, Allan wants to do whatever it is that Ryan does. Allan's becoming more and more aware of the whole potty thing. We're working with him and trying to get him prepared for when the real training becomes. He likes watching and trying to go pee, but he can't always get anything out.
Once seeing Cool Ryan pee in the yard, well Allan needed to do that too.
Pee Pee might not have come out, but he sure was gonna try.
And I think he was a little proud of himself.
Leave it to Allan to find some sticks to play with.

Look close, he's there picking some sticks.
Ryan and Allan had a fun time out of the bay and playing under the sprinkler that Papa had made.
Ryan had a good time too.

Bad Blogger

I've been neglecting my blog for way too long. I guess I just haven't been taking as many pictures as I should have. Time to change that! Here's some new pictures and more to come!

Momma's Little Helper

If only he would stay this interested and excited when it comes to helping me clean the house. That would definitely be a nice thing!

Toy or Chair?

I don't think that's a chair, Allan...

Cowboy Up

Howdy Y'all!
Allan's little buddy, Meagan, came over the other day with a cowboy hat. It was so cute and tiny I just had to put it on Allan and take a picture.

Baby Ashtyn & Allan

A couple of weekends ago the Nackos (my sister’s family) family came to stay the night with us. The few shots that I did take were late at night with Allan and his cousin Ashtyn. Allan played really well with Ashtyn. I don’t know if he understands that she’s still a baby or if it is because he’s around Meagan during the days. Either way, he’s really good with her. Most of the time he’s pretty gentle too. He’ll bend down to her face and tell her “hi,” or he’ll kiss her on different stops. He loves his cousin Ashtyn.


Ashtyn and Sparky. He can't see her, but he still knows she's there. I'm sure he smells that sweet baby smell she still has.


Allan is patting Ashtyn on the shoulder.
