was awesome!!!! It kept Lani's attention for 2 hours. The skaters were doing lifts and jumps and I was very impressed they could do all that in their costumes. My only complaint is that they charges $12 for snow cones, $10 for popcorn and cotton candy. I mean that is just a little ridiculous!!
Peter Pan and his crew flying through the air...
Ariel and Flounder...

waiting in line...
This one was the best...We couldn't get everyone to do the same thing at the same time...
I love the way they play so good together!!!
Me and my little Indians..
So we have been talking to Lani about Christmas being Jesus' Birthday. She understand for the most part. Well, Wednesday, her class was having a Thanksgiving Party. Lani thinks that any party is for a birthday and there is no convincing her otherwise. So, Lani thinks she had Jesus a birthday party at her school Wednesday, and she thinks her birthday is next. We have tried explaining that it isn't Christmas yet, so Jesus hasn't had his brithday yet. But she is a 2 year old that knows thinks she knows absolutely everything, and there is no changing her mind.
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Here are a few things I am so Thankful for:
1- God! He has really helped us through some tough times and I am forever grateful.
2 - Lani and Dax...Motherhood Rocks!!! i love watching them experience and learn new things!!! They can be a little wild at times, but they are truly wonderful kids.
3-Jarod...I am so luck to have a great husband ~ He helps so much with Lani and Dax and around the house.
4-Friends - Old and New Friends!!! Friends are so important and we are very fortunate to have some pretty awesome friends. I am looking forward to my Saturday morning breakfast with two of my bestest friend from high school!!!
5-Family....Well, Our fam's have helped us out tons and we are very grateful. I am so blessed to have a great relationship with my mom...I can share anything and everything with her...I can yell at her , cry with her, shop with her and laugh with her (and all in the same day)
6-My cell phone....I couldn't live without it!!!
7-My Job - So many people don't' have jobs right now and I am very fortunate to have one. By the way, I just got promoted to Supervisor....YAY!!!
Ok well I do hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving ~ Love Ya!!!
So Ive been a slack blogger lately....So here's a few things that have been going on...
1-Dax had his first visit to Chuck E. Cheese, the day before his birthday - And my camera batteries were DEAD!! Yes, I have NO pics...I'm a little upset, but I guess that is reason for us to go again. We went on a Tuesday this time and it was so much better than our Saturday visits. There were 3 other kids in there, so Lani and Dax were very happy to pretty much play with anything they wanted. Dax really enjoyed riding all the little rides.
2 - Dax and I have had this terrible stomach virus. We are finally better...Today! We have had it since Tuesday!! I am very thankful Jarod and Lani did not catch this virus, because it made me feel so bad..I mean my entire body ached....So Glad that is over!!!
3- I have had so much fun watching Lani and Dax bond and play. This makes me super-excited, because I never had a brother or sister to play with when I was younger. Dax has learned to say Lani and will call for her whenever she gets out of his sight. Also, when he wakes up in the morning, he doesn't want me or J, he is standing in his littel crib sayin "Ani, Ani." It is so cute. Lani is also very protective of him ~ If she is going to stay somewhere, he has to stay too. In the mornings while I'm trying to get everything together, Lani is like, Mommy don't forget Dax. I would never forget him, but at least I have Lani's help.
Loving her new Dax baby brother...I can't believe how young she looks in this pic...
So sweet, just a few hours old...
1 year old!!!!
Hot Wheels Cake...
Dax's cake...Lani went to Publix with me this morning to pick up the cakes. They handed us this one and she asked me if it was hers. I told her no and that it is the cake Dax gets to dig through. Lani then clapped and siad yay, I get to dig through the big one. 
Not a good time to play peek-a-boo. Yes, he was playing...
After...
So Messy...
Opening a present....
He must have found more cake...
Flying the Kite Aunt J brought Lani
Asher and Dax...I think this is a sweet pic..As you all know, Lani is in to matching - EVERYTHING. Today Lani is having Trycicle day at her school. Well we decided to send her Dora 4 wheeler, becasue she can't peddle on her own very well. Actually she can't reach the peddles on her tric. Anyways everyone at school said it was fine to bring the 4 wheeler, so we did. Well, when Lani realized she is taking her "boots ride" to school, she just had to match and wear her Dora shirt. I hate character clothes...Especially this one!!! But when she saw it she just had to have it and was so excited. Not only is it a Character shirt, but the Dora and Boots light up everytime she moves. I hate light up shoes as well, so imagine how I feel about this bright red flashing Dora shirt. I hate it, she loves it, I bought it, because she did a great job of walking through the mall and not climbing in the clothing racks or running away. It was what she picked out and I couldn't tell her no. So back to my point. Well, as I was putting on her Nike's she saw red boots in her closet. these boots came from her favorite cousin Mara. Lani yelled, wait mommy...I can wear my red boots and match Boots and his red Boots. I did not want to go there with her this morning, so off to schoo she went - Boots Ride, Flashy Shirt and her red shiny Boots....
I guess everyone knows, that bad luck seems to follow the Allen Family....When we were building our house it flooded and had to be rebuilt, we buy a new car and it gets hit by a motorcycle, oh yeah, on our honeymoon, we get followed by Hurricane Charlie....So yeah enough about that. So jarod broke his foot playing basketball Monday night and it loks ugly. I think it's crazy that last Wednesday after work he went to play back-yard tackle football and comes home without a scratch. But he plays basketball-tries to make a shot and breaks his foot. I am very grateful for Jeff who drove him to the hospital while I took Lani and Dax home, so Jarod's parents could stay with them. Thanks Jeff!!!
This would be my cute little Butterfly and Dinosaur. For some reason she was called a bumble bee all night. I guess in the dark it may be hard to tell that she is orange and black and not black and yellow. Dax was called a frog and actually Kermit by a little old lady...
Lani and her treat bag. I made Dax one as well, but his wasn't as girly. Actually Troy got one too.
I think this is the sweetest pic. J was in this pic too, but he got cropped, because he ALWAYS shuts his eyes. When our wedding photgrapher see's us at other people's weddings, he is so glad J isn't in the wedding party, b/c he closes his eyes so much!!!
Riding in the wagon. The wagon was veyr handy. It was much easier loading up the wagon, instead of the car. 
Lani was ready to go home!!! She was cold and did not want to ring one more doorbell. One funny thing: Lani wanted to pick out her own candy out of everyone's dish...She wasn't good at opening her bag and letting them drop in the candy, she wanted to "do it by myself" (Those were her exact words. )
