The Allens Invade Oklahoma and Texas!

My brother just started residency as an Orthopedic Surgeon this past year so he and his family are stuck (ha ha) in Oklahoma City for the next couple years. We miss them all dearly and decided to make a family trip out to see them and also to go watch a BYU game in Dallas (which is just a few hours away). It was kind of a random crew that came along but we had such a good time and wish we could have stayed longer. Hank of course was left behind due to his insane work/school schedule but luckily I had lots of help from the family with Blakely. The BYU game in Dallas was at the famous Dallas Cowboys stadium and it truly was incredible to see. We did a lot of driving but Blakely was a champ and her and her cousin Caroline knew how to cheer on the cougs right. We miss the Allen's desperately and are so excited they will be here this weekend to party Christmas style!
Airport fun! Got my boots on, ready for Oklahoma!

 So excited for the plane ride!

Who doesn't love a good soft pretzel!

I am thinking we will need a repeat of this trip very soon with all the Allen's in tow we could really make a bang!

My Ladybug Princess

Miss Blakely thinks she is 6, and she will tell you that! She was also convinced that she wanted to be a princess for Halloween, yet her mother had already got a ladybug costume. I thought oh man she will forget or how could she really know what she wants to be she isn't even 2, boy was I wrong. Crisis was averted when we made her be a princess ladybug...tutu and headband included!!
Blakely loved Halloween!! She trick or treated with her cousins Amelia and Olivia for 2 hours. She walked up hills to every door...did her "trick or treats" and "thank yous" and thought her life was the best! If I sneak her candy she will say..hey my trick or treats! I can't get anything past this kid.
 All ready!

 Trick or treating with cousins at Papa Charley's Office


 I think they were the only kids under 2 going strong all night trick or treating!

Showing us her candy!

If she was this fun this year I can't wait for next!
