Trey's New Set Of Wheels:)

One of our old neighbors gave Trey her son's old tricycle which also has a handle for the parent to help push so the little one can learn how to pedal. Of course Trey has fallen in love with his new set of wheels:)

Playdate with Samira and Aziah:)

Yesterday Trey had his good friend Samira and her new little brother Aziah over for some playtime. Samira and Aziah's daddy is another assistant basketball coach for WSU.

Trey and Samira are about 1 month apart in age. It has been fun to watch them begin now to notice each other and really interact.





Trey and Samira have been going to music and story time at the library each week together. So we were singing some of the songs to them while they were playing. Here are some of the cute pictures...

Trey sees a cute girl from across the room...



Trey says I think I will show her my dance moves to get her attention.



"OK I have her attention now".



"Time to ask her to dance with me".



"Now if I can just keep her interested".



Success she is dancing with me!!!!

Sprinkler Time!!!

It has been quite warm in Pullman this last week or so. We have had the pool out quite a bit so I thought I would introduce Trey to the sprinkler. What a big hit!!! He loves touching and running through the water. It was quite entertaining to watch:)

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!!!

Who Needs Water???

Welcome Home Daddy!!!

This month is a difficult time for the Allen family. Curtis has begun his long month of recruiting and that means time away from Trey and I :( But we were so excited for his arrival from his 10 day road trip this past weekend.

Trey and I have been trying to keep busy while Curtis has been traveling. We have had lots of play dates with our old and new neighborhood friends. Trey and I have also been fortunate enough to be invited over to old and new neighbor's houses for dinner which has been especially nice for me to engage in some adult conversation. Trey and I visited the Moscow Farmer's Market one weekend which we both loved. Trey has loved going to weekly story and music time at our local library. It is so much fun to see him remember the different songs we sing each week.

We are excited for the month of July to come to an end so we can have Mr. Curtis around again. We are so proud of all his hard work this month with endless traveling, airports, rental cars, sweaty gyms and hotels. We know his commitment to improving WSU basketball is going to pay off in the upcoming seasons.

We love you Curtis!!!

Are You Kidding Me???

On our drive home to Pullman we had an incident with some kind of large bird. Thank goodness Curtis was driving and not me at the time. But Curtis said he saw some kind of bird that he said looked like a chicken (LOL) flying really low but in his mind he thought no way would it come our direct way. But sure enough it did and hit directly in the driver's seat windshield. The bird didn't break the glass completely but there was some glass on our dashboard. Everyone was fine just a little shaken from it all.

What are the odds of this happening? We can't report the status of this bird but lets just put it this way there were feathers still stuck to the windshield. We are thankful to God that everyone was fine and it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Just another story to add to the Allen family journey:)

Happy 88th Birthday Grandma!!!

My Grandma Kathryn turned 88 this past Saturday. We got to spend some time with her this weekend. I have to say it is the hardest thing to watch the ones you love so dearly age. But even though Grandma is getting very weak I still got to see a glimpse of her spunky personality throughout the visit.

I think she had a good time watching the boys play and entertain her.





Here are a few pictures from the afternoon...









My Grandma has been such a special person in my life. I love her dearly. Happy Birthday Grandma!!!
