Happy New Year!!

We thought to honor the new year, we would do a review of the Allen's 2007. Here it is:



John learning how to get dressed by himself, the aftermath of our first visit to the emergency room (it was of course during Mark's first overnight business trip), John's first Easter where he understood that the eggs had candy in them, awesome bluebonnets, and a close encounter at the Austin Zoo. Fun at SeaWorld, the wildlife park where we got attacked by deer who tried to eat our clothes and I had to hold John while being 7 months pregnant, the boys playing at Sweet Berry Farm in the boat there, and riding Thomas the Train.

Welcoming the newest member of our family...Jacob Glen Allen!

John's first 'amusement park' ride (maybe his last!), visits with family, especially the Great-Grandmas!!
Golfing with dad, learning how to swim, our first family vacation as a foursome, surfing with daddy.
First soccer team and the things mom and dad make the boys do and wear!! ;)
All you can eat BlueBell Ice Cream festival, Kevin's Graduation!!!, Swimming Lessons, and growing frogs from tadpoles and getting chased by wild geese when we tried to release the little frogs back into the wild.
Jacob's first bath (not his last) and swimming in the Texas heat!
John getting 3 hole's in one on his first round of miniature golf...watch out Tiger...and having a happy birthday!
Boys being boys!
Cutting grass with daddy, catching his first fish with Uncle Kevin and the State Fair of Texas.
Visiting The Magees in California, snuggles with daddy and Rebecca & William getting married!
The boys again!! They are so cute!!
Rebecca & William getting married, playing in the park with Grandma, sneaking food out of the pantry and my first homemade birthday cake from the boys.
Merry Christmas!!! Jacob's first!!
Visiting Santa for the first time, our little ham waving to the crowd during his preschool's Christmas program, making our first family nativity scene and daddy pretending to be Santa Claus.
Hope you enjoyed!! We had so many firsts and so much fun this year...we are looking forward to an even better 2008!!! Happy New Year y'all!!
