Sorry for the lack of any information about Allen, but as you all know by now that means everything is going great.

We have had a busy summer already. The day school got out we headed for DisneyWorld. Our family went with our friends across the street (Sara Kate & Addie). Everyone had a super great time. Allen and Sara Kate were at the perfect age..they still loved the little stuff but were tall enough for the big stuff too. Allen's favorite ride was Rockin Roller Coaster...an upside down roller coaster. Hannah & Addie loved all the characters and getting their autographs.

This past weekend we went to Dallas to see the Jonas Brothers in concert. It was awesome and better than that Miley Cyrus made a suprise entrance and performed a song with the boys. After the concert it was off to Great Wolf Lodge for more excitment. GWL is an indoor waterpark. This was Allen's 3rd time to visit but Hannah finally got to come with us on a big kid trip...she'll be five soon!

Now that baseball is over, we are just bouncing in between the pool and the lake camp. We have one quick trip to the beach planned for July.

This weekend is the St. Jude Dream Home giveaway, so if you haven't bought your ticket yet you need to fast. Allen and I will be at the dream house Sunday around noon to do an interview.

Hope everyone has a chance to buy a ticket for this wonderful cause.

P.S. - I put a couple of new pics from Disney and Jonas Brothers. Hopefully, I can get a slideshow made of all the pictures. Yes... Allen does have a black eye in his Disney pictures. We've had stitches this summer too!
