Oh!!! What a few Crazy months!!!! Continued.......

A week after my surgery, Charlie lost his job. His boss told him that he had lied abou tme being in the hospital and that nothing had actually happened to me. That next weekend my dad was released from the Rehabilitation Unit and we drove to Roosevelt. We went for my nephew Kaden's Baptism. Here are a few pictures while we were there.

A week after that Kaitlin and Stephanie (my nieces) came to stay with us to help with the girls. We pretty much went swimming everyday and had a lot of fun. They were a big help. They went back home and Stephanie came back to our house while the rest of her familly went on Trek. Stephanie and Crystal are so funny together.

Well, a week ago my dad had a surgery on his prostate. Now everything works!!! Sharon came up Sunday to pick him up and they left this morning. Karlie screamed and cried when he left. They have really gotten to enjoy each others company. It is sad to see him go, but he needed to get back home. We love you Grandpa!!!

Oh! What a few Crazy months!!

So I decided that I should finally update my blog. We have had so much going on that I just have not had the time to post. So, here it all is in a nutshell. Durring Memorial day weekend I had some really severe abdominal pain. I was at Shannon's dropping Crystal off so she could spend time with her cousins. So I just waited until I got home to deal with it. When I got home Charles saw how much pain I was in and we called Charlies sister to watch Karlie, because she was in bed and we went into the ER. We waited in the waiting room for three hours until we finally got in and waited another hour to see the Doctor. By this time it was about 400 AM. I then had a bunch of tests and was found to have a couple of large Hemorrhagic Ovarian Cysts. The Gynecologist was nervous that they were cutting off the blood supply to the Ovaries, so it was decided that I needed to go to surgery. When they got in there they found that one of them had burst and was bleeding out, while the other one was fine. So they drained the blood and cauterized it to get the bleeding stopped. I was in the hospital for another day and then I came home.

A few days after I was home my dad came up to see the orthopedic doctor. He had done something to his knee. When he was done with his appointment he came back to my house and told us that he was getting a knee replacement the next day. So they stayed the night and he went in for surgery. He was kept in the hospital because of problems with his waterworks. On Sunday Shannon came over for dinner and brought a yummy chocolate desert. We all loved it, especially Karlie!!

To be continued................

In between Payson and Spanish Fork on I-15 there is some construction. As you drive through it the road shifts and you go over the "Rumble strips" a few times. Every time we go over them and they make the loud sound Karlie Giggles uncontrollably. The bad thing about the video is that you can only see the picture shake slightly instead of hearing the noise. She is also a little more shy because she knows she is being videoed. But it is still cute.

Our Cute Girls

I got the cutest pictures done of the girls. So, here they are, well at least some of them. There are too many to post.

Karlie's 1st Haircut

Karlies First Haircut

Well, Karlie's hair was finally driving me nuts, so I broke down and got it cut. Our next door neighboor cuts hair and did it for us. Karlie was so good and did everything that she asked her too.

Bowling and Coldstone

'Real Bowling' and Cold Stone
Since Crystal learned how to bowl on the Wii she has been begging to go 'Real Bowling.' So, we finally went. She was so excited to go. We went to Miracle Bowl in Orem. She is Miss Independent and tried to do it herself, but the ball was going so slow that it got stuck. So, Tiffany or I had to help her. Karlie had to join in. Crystal and Karlie would stick the ball between their legs while sitting on the floor and roll it. They both had so much fun. But, next time we will only do one game instead of two. Karlie started to get really bored and cranky after the first one.

Our Scores

Game #1

Game #2

Cold Stone
After 'Real Bowling' we went to get ice cream at Cold Stone. We all loved it.

Super Bowl

Dance, Dance, Dance!!!

Crystal and Karlie had so much fun tonight dancing to the Super Bowl Halftime show. They were so excited to hear the music. It was so cute.

Winter Wonderland

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW

Crystal has wanted to go out and build a snow man for a couple of days. So today we finally did. The only problem was that the snow was too powdery. So, we were unable to make a snowman. But, we had fun trying. We jumped around and we made snow angels. They both had a lot of fun.

Sunday Dinner

What a MESS!!!!

For Sunday dinner we had Lasagna. Luckily, I was smart enough to take Karlie's clothes off before she started eating. Because, Oh what a mess she had at the end!! She ended up straight in the bathtub. Which she loved.

The New Allen Family Adventure...
Bowling on the Nintendo Wii

We were at the Keesler's on Sunday, January 18th and Crystal really wanted to bowl on the Wii...so we pulled it out and everyone participated. Tiffany helped Crystal while Laura helped Karlie. Crystal had a final score of 95...for her first time bowling...EVER...now we have to take her for real!

The best part of the above picture is Karlie!

This picture is just adorable all the way around. What a bunch of smiles!
