Father's (Chief's) Day

We knew it was coming: dinner at Salt Grass. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good steak from time to time. However, we were all hoping for a different Father's Day chow. Daddy always picks Salt Grass. It's his day, so it was okay, and it was also Red's top choice.

Now the Allen clan was a good 45 minutes late. Apparently Bug had a major "accident" in the media room. Had to have another bath, the whole works. Can you smell it?  When they finally arrived, it was a festive time. We were excited to see Bug's "big boy" haircut too. He and Addi provided the entertainment as usual.

 

Hanging with Chief

I think she was giving a lesson . . .

Any day now - get up and WALK!

 In deep thought - with acorns and sticks, I'm sure.

Hanging with Tainty . . .

This never did work out - HOT MESS!

Ashton Turns 1!

Happy 1st Birthday to my favorite nephew! Okay - only nephew, but that doesn't matter.

It was a family affair with a few close friends. Special thanks to Mommy, Daddy, & Addi; Mimi & Chief; Gran; Tainty & Nay Nay; Uncle Kevin, Aunt Denise, & Kelsey; "L"; Dennis; Aunt Shanita, Uncle T, Evan, & Ian; and Sophia, Carmen, & Camryn. The party "started" at 4:00, and it was almost 8:00 before everyone  left. The birthday boy crashed around 7:00, and I was able to rock him to sleep rather quickly. Just exhausted! Here are the highlights:
