Allred Fam: I Think I Love My Wife

I Think I Love My Wife

OK, well, I know I love my wife! She is amazing! What other woman would go out in public without shaving first?

In case you haven't figured it out already, this is a picture of the wonderful April at a Halloween Party last week. Since Thatcher had a clown costume, and we found a cute hot dog costume for Luke, that we would make it a circus/carnival themed Halloween. April went as the beautiful bearded lady, and I was "The Great Matini", a magician of sorts. We have some fun pictures, so check it out below.

Being a dad is awesome. I was at the Jazz game tonight, working for the Jazz PR department, and my seats were near a Dad who had brought his 6-year-old daughter to the game. It was cool to see him explaining everything to her, and to see her excitement to be with her dad at the game. Then I looked around the arena and saw quite a few dads with their young kids...what a cool thing for these kids to hang out with their dads at a Jazz Game. It made me want to take Thatcher to the game sometime...anyways, I truly love being a dad!

The month of November is typically becoming a good month for the Allred family.

We recently bought timeshare condo at Snowbird, which is always the first week of November...it's a good chance to get away for a break, without really getting away. The drive is only about 20 minutes from my office, so we sleep up there, and April and the boys get to hang out with April's dad and his family.
We are going to Disneyland next week. We went last year at this time (the week before Thanksgiving) and never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes to ride a ride. It was great last year for Thatcher, but I am really excited for him this year. I think we will have a ball.
I turn 29 on the 18th.
THANKSGIVING...this is one of my favorite holidays. We love the fall, and this is a great time to just hang out with family and relax.

Anyway...things are good for the Allred clan. Luke and Thatcher are healthy boys who make us smile...April is still at home with the boys, which is good for all three of them, and life is coasting along without a hitch.

Check back often. I will do a few Disneyland posts next week.

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".
