SiSteRs!!

Oh my sweet, sweet girls!! I just love them to pieces! They are so much fun and bring so much joy to my life. I don't know what I would do without them. We have lots and lots of fun together. Ryley is working on being a big girl and is doing so well at the whole potty training thing. She has been doing awesome. I am so proud of her. She just decided one day that she was ready and she did it. She is such a good big sister to Reagan. She loves to push her in her swing, give her her binkie, and hold her. She is pretty good about telling me she is awake even when it means she had to wake her up to tell me!! She loves to do hair!! She is always doing someones hair!! Oh my little hair dresser!! Reagan is now 2 1/2 months old and is the happiest baby ever!! She is really starting to talk and interact with us. She loves to watch Ryley and Ryley loves for her to pay attention to her. I took her to the doctor today for her 2 month wellness check and yes she is gaining weight!!! Oh my little chunker weighs 16 lbs!!! She is way over the top of the charts, in fact the nurse said she wasn't even on the charts!!! haha I just had to laugh!! I love my little chunkamunker!! She is in the 95% for height so we are doing good I would say!! She is an awesome sleeper, she sleeps through the night and in her crib!!! For all of you who know my past history with Ryley in my bed!! Yes Reagan is even in her own room!!! I am very proud of myself!!! (pat on the back)!!!! I just love my girls and I could go on and on!!

A quick update!!

So I am a slacker, I know!! Life has been crazy and we just got back from Idaho. We had a wonderful Christmas even though the weather kept my family from coming and enjoying it with us. We were able to spend time with friends and so it made it all better. We went to Idaho for the Idaho Ag Show for the past 2 weeks and now we are back home so Clay can put on the Washington Ag Show!! SO he is keeping busy. I am keeping really busy with my two girls and loving every minute of it minus a few meltdowns and tantrums. They are both growing like crazy, I can't believe it!! I will post pictures later cause I can't get my computer to read the card. So for now that's about it and I will update later!!!

mErRy ChRisTmaS!!

We are so grateful for this time of Year in which we have to Celebrate the birth of Christ the Lord. How grateful we are to Him and for His love for each one of us. May we all remember Him at this blessed time of year. Wishing you all the best!! Love- Clay, Linsey, Ryley & Reagan

Blessing Day

After being cooped up in the house since August, well just travel wise, I told Clay we were going home for Thanksgiving. I knew it would be hard taking a new baby that far but it really turned out good. She was an awesome traveler and slept the whole way. It was so nice to be home and see family. I thought since we were home and everyone was around it would be the best to just bless Reagan while we were there. It was an awesome day and it was so special. We blessed Reagan at my parents home and it was beautiful. Clay gave a very beautiful blessing and I am so grateful to him and the priesthood that he holds. I am so proud that he is able to bless our home and our children. We were surrounded by both of our families and friends and that made it even better. Thanks again Clay for all you do. And I wanted to thank our parents for all that they did to help us with our new arrival. It was so wonderful to have them around and for all their help. I dont' know what I would have done without them.

Sweet Baby Reagan

Reagan's Here!!

Yeah so she is finally here!!! We are so excited!! She is beautiful and perfect!!! Reagan Alyse Allen was born Friday November 14th, 2008 at 10:47 AM. Weighing in at a whooping 9 lbs 5 oz and 20 in. long!! Yes I had a huge baby and I don't know how she fit in my belly!! We went in at 11 thursday night and the doctor came in Friday morning at 9 broke my water and we had her an hour and a half later. It went so fast!!! After she was born they took her away pretty fast cause she was having problems breathing and was purple and blue. She got fluid in her lungs and had to be under a oxygen hood till saturday afternoon. We didn't get to hold her or feed her until Saturday around noon. She had to be on antibiotics for 48 hours due to me being positive with group B strep so she wasn't even able to be in our room at all. It was a hard few days but we are now home and doing great. Ryley is doing very well with everything. She is a very good big sister and wants to hold her and love her!! She has been having so much fun with my brother and sister, and I don't know what we are going to do when they leave!! I am so grateful for the chance I have to be a mother and I am so grateful for such a wonderful husband. Clay is great and I am so grateful he holds the priesthood and has the power to bless our family. My testimony has really been strengthened these last few days. Thanks Clay I love you!!

Induction

So just a quick update for all those wondering what is going on and is Linsey hiding something from all of us? Well, no, I sit here still as prego as can be and am counting down the hours. We go in tonight at 11 PM(yes the middle of the night) and I will get induced!! So we shall have us a new baby tomorrow sometime. I just thought for sure that I would go on my own and well I guess I just need a little jump start! I am getting really nervous but am so excited at the same time. I can't wait to meet this little one and see how precious she really is!! So for now that is the scoop and we will keep you updated!! Next time we will have some pics to show!!!
