Ryan and I
after the army ball. We forgot to bring a camera, whoops! The ball was a dinner with a lot of talking, traditions, power point presentations, and a little bit of dancing at the end. There were a lot of laughs, a lot of me getting in some good people-watching, and good company, but I was definitely ready to end the dinner part and start the dancing part. We had a sitter that was expecting us home at 10:30pm, and I wanted to get a few real not-dance-by-yourself-in-your-house dances in. But I loved going to something fancy and formal with Ryan. I still get that shy/excited feeling when we go out, when he opens my door and guides me with his hand on my back....That's either a good sign, or a sign that we don't go out enough!
I'm trying to get more pictures taken of me, because I'm usually the one breaking out the camera. I feel a wee bit stupid for saying, "Hey, take a picture of me!" but I figure it's better to have documentation of me with my boys than to worry about maintaining any sense of pride.
Landon really enjoyed his cupcake for the first half, then decided it wasn't as great as he first thought. That's how I usually feel after my second-or third-handful of skittles.
Landon all clean and sweet as can be after his bath.
Some of my favorite pictures of my two younger brothers are of them in their church clothes when they were little, so I thought I'd take Josh out to do a quick photo shoot of him in his shirt and tie. He didn't disappoint. And if any of you know Ryan's family, I think you'll agree that Josh is an Allen through and through. Sometimes he looks like Ryan, sometimes he looks like uncle Scott, and sometimes he looks like uncle Matt. Luckily for Josh, all of them are good looking, so he shouldn't have too many worries about his future prognosis as a stud muffin.
This is why moms are so attached to their boys! I just think he looks so sweet and innocent in this picture. Don't grow up, Josh! Don't do it!
Eh, he did it. He's no longer a little boy. He's a pre-teen.
Carter has a determined (code for stubborn) side to him, but he also has this near-angelic side to him that makes me want to just eat him up. He and Josh have to sit right next to Ryan at dinner time, so Ryan's always squished while Landon and I have the rest 3/4 of the table to ourselves. Works out quite nicely!
Look at that love! That is one happy and lucky boy.
Dinnertime. Lucky Ryan, isn't he?
And one last picture just for kicks. Carter is all ready for his hair cut.

Alaina votes that the middle one of Josh is the best one, she told me to click on it so she could see it bigger. haha cute. I feel like I read your blog with a whole new perspective now that I know we're right behind you. We're so excited to already have friends when we get there this summer!
