This weekend Dan is in Idaho working in the ER and the girls are out of school for UEA weekend. So, I've learned to not plan so much when Dan goes out of town so I don't lose my mind! So far we've been shopping everyday and ate dinner at Dairy Queen Thursday and Friday, yes,tempting to go again yesterday (Saturday)but we went to Artic Circle instead. I've spent most of Saturday trying to get some new music for aerobics class, i found a really cool website http://www.clickmix.com/ if you want to make your own mix, it has the latest and greatest. Kim you should try it :). We did get new fruit trees put in our back yard, two peach and two apple! Maybe i'll have to try my hand at canning next year...

Welcome to the Allen Family Blog! Hopefully this will serve as a way for us to connect with family and friends on the web. Dan is loving his life as a doctor here is Cedar City.
He has a great practice with some pretty awesome partners. He just got hired as Hospice Director and still goes to Idaho once a week for five days to work in the ER. We are blessed to be here. I go to school twice a week for one college class-Iknow Iknow still trying to finish a bachelors! I am still serving in the YoungWomens as the 2nd counselor and teaching step aerobics at Gold's Gym once a week. K, so enough about us and now about the little ones.....

Braden is a little handfull! He cried himself to sleep the other day still holding on to the crib rails. Sometimes he just won't give in! Lately he has started to love playing with balls. He grabs the ball and flings it in the air and then chases it. He's also a little cutie pie!

Mel Mel is full of sugar and sweets! She is our sweet little darling that can do no wrong. She will always be our "baby girl". (Well, we think always...)

Claire is our funny girl. She is always trying to make people laugh. She loves fashion and is very good at putting outfits together and accessorizing!

Sami is full of life and fun. She helps her sisters get on the bus twice a week when mom is at school. She loves school, dance and feeding her little brother cereal.

Jenee is getting to be our little teenager! She has braces now and is five foot three! She is beautiful, loves her friends, her dance class,pre-algebra, and helping around the house :)!

So, little Clarissa Ann was baptized yesterday! Her grandma and grandpa Allen came down from Salt Lake and many of her friends and family friends were there to witness and celebrate. We are so proud of you Claire, for your decision to be baptized and your new growing testimony!
