Oh to say goodbye to 2009!

Top 10 of 2009:

So, in no particular order, here is my Top 10 of 2009:

1. 4 beautiful and healthy children
2. Lonny and I celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary! (12 years in total! WOW! How can he stand me after all these years?)
3. After YEARS of crappy jobs, Lonny finally has a job he LOVES!
4. A new roof!
5. A new furnace!
6. All new windows in our house
7. Having Heather to look after Burkeley
8. Spending time with our families
9. FINALLY meeting Dex
10. Celebrating special days with those we love!

And here are the Top Things That Weren't So Great This Year:

1. Having to pay for the new roof, furnace and windows!
2. The twins starting high school (No way are we that old)
3. Having to go back to work
4. Trying to get my entire house finished! (Probably never going to happen!)
5. Lonny being laid off
6. Losing people we love too soon
7. Whitney's blood clots
8. Having to end our family
9. Dane in his last year of pre school
10. All of the above

I am terrible at blogging!!!

I am terrible at blogging! Or perhaps my world is not interesting... or perhaps it SO interesting that I have no time to do anything other than live an interesting, ever so moving life! Yeah right!!! I am the mother of teens and toddlers, I have no time to myself! So, I will try and catch up on our "life"! But it won't happen tonight. One is playing in the sink (water everywhere), one has everything you can imagine scattered across the kitchen floor, one is in need of homework help, and one cannot un-glue himself from the tv! Until next time....

Happy Mother's Day!

I have the cutest famliy! I am not kidding! My husband is the nicest, most patient man in the whole world! He puts up with so much crap from me! Our kids keep getting bigger, despite my pleas with them to stay little... Oh well! Here are some new things going on with the Allred's...

Erek has us back at the baseball park! He's such an awesome ball palyer...



Jakob got his riding permit and wants to spend every minute he can on his dirt bike (this is him on my little "hog". I will have to post some pictures of his bike)



Dane loves to be outside, playing. He is such a funny kid! He is intrigued by garage doors! Anyone who has theirs open, he wants to know why... and if they will let him push their button to close it!



Burkeley is mastering crawling...



and growing teeth...



They are getting too big, too fast! We are enjoying every minute of it though!

A little S L O W...

Ok, ok... I admit... I am SO BAD at keeping up with this blog. It's not that we don't have anything exciting going on at our house, it's just, well, me! I'm slow! Probably not a big shocker to alot of you right? I've posted a few new pictures of the kids. More will follow... SOON! Yeah right!
