Playing summer catch up
Holy cow I have a lot of catching up to do. I've been sick with swine flu the last 2 weeks so that explains part of why I'm so far behind. O.K. so it wasn't really the swine flu, but it was the worst flu of my life and I spend most of the last 2 weeks really thinking I was dying. Things are almost back to normal now. I'm not fully 100% back to what I was before, but definitely doing much better. So here's and update of what we have been up to this summer.
On July 2nd was my mom's 50th birthday so we planned a surprise party at rock creek park with all of her favorite people. Unfortunately I was busy making sure that the food was all stocked so the only pictures I got of the party was of Hannah and Lilly sitting in the shade. They are so cute together.
And... this picture of my mom. Super funny!! One of her old primary students Braden Sites mate her this sexy crown, just so there was no confusion as to whose birthday it was.
On the 4th of July we were sitting out on our lawn watching the fire works at CSI while our neighbors were lighting off fire works. They were illegal of course and I thought about telling them to knock it off until we went inside, I've decided that I am to timid and need to grow a back bone especially when it has to do with the safety of my baby. It was also making me really nervous because we not only had Lilly with us, but our friends Emmylou and Josh were over watching them also with little Hannah and new born Marriah. All I remember was seeing them knock over the fire work they were lighting off and instead of shooting in the sky I shot at us. I have no idea how it missed Lilly and I because we were sitting on the end. It skimmed passed us and hit Tim in the leg. This picture really doesn't show how bad it looked (or smelled). We are so so so lucky it wasn't any worse than it was. I still have nightmares of Lilly getting her head shot off by fire works!
When she was on my lap I had her blanket wrapped around her. She got a little burn on her side, but had the blanket not been covering her she could have gotten burned a lot worse.
This was on the 4th (before the incident) I think this picture is hilarious. It almost looks photo- shopped. The two of them are so goofy.
The end of July we went and stayed at Bob and Louise Crowley's cabin with my family in Island park. We bought these moose pj's in west Yellowstone for Lilly. I thought they were super cute on her and this picture shows her mischievous side.
Lilly being "cool" playing cards with aunt Kristi in the cabin.

This is the lake we were on. We stayed at a place in Island park called Bill's Island. Tim and I have been to island park 3 times now and this was by far the nicest area we've stayed in. It is surrounded by trees and water. It's so beautiful there.

Come February...
There will be a new addition to the Allen family!! And according to Lilly it will be a baby sister. We are all so excited , but its kind of funny how things work out with us. We have been trying since January to get pregnant and then in June we decided to wait longer because we didn't think we were quite ready for another one yet. Of course as things always go in our lives we find out that I am pregnant in June. So there ya go. that's our exciting news! I think to keep things interesting we aren't going to find out what we are having this time around.

Tim and I recently decided that we wanted to go private with our old blog because we wanted it to be more of a family journal for only Tim, and I, and our kids to read later on. We are sorry and hope that we didn't affend anyone because we didn't announce it before we did it, and we didn't invite anyone to come and view it. We had quite a few people ask us about what happend to our old blog so we decided to have 2 seperate blogs. One for everyone to view again, and a private one for only us to view.
