A Love-Hate Relationship

Kati Ann & Billie love each other SOOOO much most of the time. However, because in dog years, Billie is about the same age as Kati Ann it is sometimes like having two toddlers running around my house irritating the other one. Makes for some interesting experiences at the Allens

Easter with Elmo

Yesterday was beautiful weather and so I hid a bunch of Easter eggs out in the front yard & KA really enjoyed "hunting" the eggs & putting them in the Elmo Easter basket her daddy found for her at Target! Its a BIG hit!

Baby Billie

Kati Ann & Billie have hit it off. In fact, Kati Ann has discovered that Billie fits in her stroller! How fun is that!

Birthday on her mind!

Today is exactly one month until Kati Ann's 2nd birthday & today is also Ms. Alesia's birthday. So in celebration & anticipation of both, Kati Ann put on this silly Happy Birthday cake hat! Happy Birthday Ms. Alesia!

Minnie Billie

We've now enjoyed about 3 weeks with our sweet new puppy that is at this point probably having an identity crisis. Her first name was Mindy but we changed it the first day to Minnie. However, Kati Ann insists her name is Billie! So Jared & I are giving in and calling the dog Billie after trying for at least a week of trying to hang on to Minnie. We still call her Minnie every once in a while but I think we're going to give in and officially change her name to Billie!
In this picture, Billie is playing in the "sea of leaves" at the Watkins' house and loving it!!

MUD

We were out walking in our neighborhood and passed by our good friends, the Watkins' house and KA was invited to come play in the mud with her friend Phomas aka Thomas! I was surprised that she actually played in the mud because she often doesn't like having her hands dirty but she had a blast!
