Oh American Idol

If only they would allow 20 month olds to try out for American Idol cause we would totally have a winner. Little Miss Ryley is quite the little singer. She totally cracks me up. She sings around the house all day long. We sat down to watch American Idol last night and as they are all singing Ryley carries right along with them. It is too funny. She sings her ABC's and pretty darn well for not being able to completely talk and say things right. But we get the jist of it. Also her favorite song we sing in the car is Bubbly by Colbie Caillat. She loves it when that song comes on and knows quite a few of the words. She is just so much fun. I just can't believe how fast she is growing. I only wish they could stay little for longer. I love the stage she is at right now. She has started telling me when she needs to go potty and she goes on the big girl potty!! We kind of stopped for awhile cause it became a bigger fight than anything so I just decided to let her take her time and she would one day be ready. And hopefully now it will be an ongoing thing and not just a fling. But we are working on it and being pretty successful. Yeah Ryley!!! We are getting really close to closing on our house. Next Thursday we get to sign papers and then hopefully Friday the 29th we will be official home owners and be able to start painting and hanging blinds and all that good stuff so we can MOVE IN!!!!! YEAH!! It is about time. I am ready to be done with apartment living and have a house of my own.

I'm so glad when Daddy comes home!!

Yeah!!! Today has finally come!! Clay has been gone to Mexico since Thursday and was gone to Moses Lake Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. He came home those nights but still we have been very lonely girls in the Allen household. SO he is flying home now as we speak and I am so excited to see him. Ryley is too. I didn't think she really knew he was gone but earlier she was saying "I want Daddy" so I think she has figured it out. I just know that I never want to be a single mom ever. I don't know how those that are do it. More power to you. It really makes me grateful for Clay and all he does to help me out. He is awesome. I love him so much and we can't wait to go pick him up from the airport!! Only 3 1/2 hours left to go!! I hope the time passes quick. We have definatly had a lot of fun while he was away. Ry and I did a little shopping for stuff for our house and found just what we were looking for. And last night I went out with all the girls and had a total blast. It is so fun to have good friends and to laugh. Wow my stomach hurt by the time we were done. Thanks girls definatly want to do that again and soon!!! Ryley's eyes are doing great. I still can't believe how fast that all came on but she has been so good about it and thankfully I didn't get it either. The house is still just coming along and looking more and more like a home. It is really exciting!! Can't wait to move in!! And I am way excited because my friend Tiff and her husband Terry are building like 5 houses down from us so that is going to be so awesome. We will have way too much fun living that close. Well anyways... That's about it!! Love you all!!

Pink Little Sad Eyes

So yesterday Ryley started having just a little green gunk in her eyes and I didn't think much about it. I thought oh just a little sleepy bug no big deal. Well as the day went on it just kept getting worse and worse so I decided to take her to the Physicians Imediate Care cause I just had a feeling something wasn't right. Well my Mom knew exactly what it was and sure enough we have Pink Eye in both eyes and it is not very fun. Ryley has been a little trooper and has been pretty good about letting me get the gunk out of her eyes and letting me put in her drops. So here are a few pictures. One is of this morning when she woke up she couldn't even open her eyes they were pretty much sealed shut and that took awhile to unstick. And the other is of later today*. She is still pretty puffy and red but we are hoping it will go down within the next few days. I love you Ryley!! Thanks for being such a big girl!!!

Sorry not text!

Well on the house pictures sorry there is no text!! Just to let you know we finally have trim, doors, cupboards, and counter tops!! It looks great!! I need to get some finished pictures of the counter top because it looks awesome. We saw it in the dark done but I haven't got over there to take pictures!! So it is all looking up and we are supposed to close on the 21st they moved up the date. I just hope they can get the house finished before then. They have all the outside painting, yard and cement to get done and there is so much mud over there it is just yucky to even get up to the house. So we will keep our fingers crossed but not get our hopes up way too high yet!!

It is coming along!!!

Home!!

So we finally made it home!! In the nick of time let me tell ya!! We came home Friday and on Saturday we had the weirdest freezing rain storm I have ever seen. Well never have seen one in my life. This whole place turned into a huge ice skating rink. Then to add to it we woke up Sunday morning to about 2 inches of snow and it snowed the whole day. We had a good 8-10 inches and the people here don't know what to do with that much snow. This is a very rare occasion that this happens. They say it happens every 8 to 10 years but it has really only been 4 since the last big storm. They aren't epuipped with snow removal equipment and so now it is just a slushy mess. SO crazy!! The house is coming along great and we are getting excited. I will have to update pictures soon. Ryley is growing like a little weed and getting pretty darn funny. She loves to sing her ABC's the best she can and is doing very well for a 19 month old. WE are all fighting the lovely cold season again. Ryley has been sick since last wednesday and has a yucky cough and Clay and I just have those dang colds that we can't kick but all is well. Sorry it has been so long. I will be back later with more fun stuff.
