Happy Fall

First off, I really mean to blog more but it seems every time I go to write something down one of the trolls (i mean twins) wants to help! So quickly I will say we had a great weekend with my neice getting baptized and then a trip to the red barn in Santaquin for a wagon ride and pumpkin picking! The kids always have fun trying to find that perfect pumpkin and this year was no exeception. Afterwards we went and got some ice cream and of course chocolate covered cherries, because you can not stop at the barn and NOT get those! Thanks for a fun day. (we did miss you Thayer family!)
Finding that perfect one!

Cousins minus Roo and Miles :(

Celebrating Summer Birthdays

My awesome sister Christie suggested doing a pool party for the June and July birthdays in our family. So Grandpa Howie rented a private pool in Spanish Fork and we had a blast. Afterwards we went back to Christies for a yummy dinner and birthday dessert!! Happy Birthday Miles, Whiley, Chase, Brandon, Melissa and Preston!
Mason going down the slide!

YES that is Grandpa Howie in a swim suit along with his cowboy boots! This is a rare occasion to see my dad in a swim suit.(I can count on my hand how many times I've seen him in one).

4th of July FUN!!

Can I just say how much I love my family!!

EaSTer fuN

Our Easter fun started off friday night when the family got here (minus Cam's little family). The kids had fun coloring eggs until someone (MASON) fell off the chair. So we headed home so the other kids could color them without the screaming noise of him. Saturday morning we headed to the mountains bundled in our winter coats to enjoy the day of target shooting, 4-wheel riding and roasting hotdogs and marshmellows. Nothing keeps the Allreds home on Easter Saturday. Afterwards we came home and enjoyed a nice dutch oven dinner. Sunday morning we all awoke to find that darn Easter bunny had hid the eggs outside in the rain. Thankfully the rain had stop earlier that morning. The kids had a great time looking for them! We ended the weekend with a wonderful Sunday dinner before everyone headed home. I am so thankful for my family and I love the times we share!!

Twins turn 2

Okay so I haven't kept my promise of blogging more often. So what's been up with the twins you are probably wondering. Twins turned 2 in March and I'm wondering where the time has gone!! We had a little party for them and they had a blast with their new toys and playing with their cousins. They are doing great, growing like weeds even though they are not even close to the 50% tile on weight or height but when you are born weighing 3 lbs what can the peditrician expect. They play great together and fight even better. Maddie is still not sleeping through the night :( I love everyday of my life with them (with or without sleeping, fighting, and yes biting)!! Here is just a few pics of their birthday.
