Allred Fam: Amazing Race...

Amazing Race...

Does anyone else love this show? Mat and I watch it religiously and love it more and more each season. I was so mad this week (this is a spoiler if you have tivo'd it and have yet to watch it) when Kynt and Vixen U-turned the wrong team! What?! They were interesting to watch and I really wanted them to make it to the final three... so sad.

Anyway, I think more than anything else we both love to travel and every time we watch it we add one more destination to our long list of places we want to go. After watching it the last few times I have added Croatia and Lithuania, they look amazing! We want to apply for the show and would do so in a heart beat if we didn't have to leave our two cute boys for an entire month! Hopefully someday we'll get to cross off the majority of our list. We have been lucky enough to see some of the world outside of the U.S. already, these destinations include:

Mat: France, Russia,Taiwan, Hong Kong, England, China, Japan, Denmark, Sweden, Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos, Mexico

April: Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, Sweden, Denmark, Mexico, Thailand, Hawaii (not outside the U.S. but still cool)

We are trying to plan a fun trip for our 30th birthdays this year so maybe we can add one more to the list :)

I can't imagine Thatcher doing anything naughty. :) I know what you mean about loving to travel. There's not enough time or money in this life to get everywhere. Glad your Christmas was good.; January 2, 2008 at 5:57 AM

Thought I'd check out your blog, way cute! I need to watch an episode of the Amazing Race, it's tough competition though, Baby Einstein seems to be more the norm around here! It was fun to see you guys over the holidays, Luke and Thatcher are adorable!; January 8, 2008 at 8:21 PM

Thatcher Quotes

Thatcher was going to Lagoon with my dad and some of his aunts and as they were pulling into the parking lot he looked at all of them and said, "yeah...I'm gonna need some cash".

So yesterday morning I was wearing my glasses before I put my contacts in and Thatch came in and asked me if I was wearing Daddy's glasses. I said no, these are mine. Then he said, "Are you sure? Because you look like a man in those glasses."

Thatcher was singing to himself in his room and I heard him from down the hall in my room and yelled to him, "Why are you so cute?" He yelled back, "Because you treated me like I was cute!"

I put on a hat to go to the park yesterday and when I went in to get Thatcher he said, "nice hat mom, I never knew you could look so cool".

I went to put his seatbelt on him in the car, and he said he could do it himself. I said, are you sure Thatch? You know how to do that? He said, " watch and learn mom.... watch and learn".

Mat was driving and he asked Thatch how he was doing in the backseat. Thatch replied, "just chillin". Mat said, Chillin like a villain? Thatch says, " That doesn't make sense, villains are bad... they don't just chill!"

Last night while my parents were watching Thatcher, he had to go poop and when he was done he called my brother in to wipe his bum. My brother said, Thatcher I don't know how to wipe bums very well. Thatcher replied " You wipe your own bum don't you?"

At dinner while eating pork chops, he took a bite and said, "Mom what is with the chicken?"

I put a tire back on his toy car for him and after I was done he said "wow mom, that's pretty impressive!"

We were in the Target parking lot and he saw a paper cup in one of the parking stalls. He pointed it out to me and I said, that's not very nice is it? referring to littering, and he looked back at the cup and said sadly, "yeah, poor little cup".
