Ammon's Blessing Week

This is gonna be a mega LONG post! I haven't posted in over a week (record!) because #1 I wanted to wait to get all the private emails #2 I've been SUPER busy #3 I took too many pictures so blogging and catching up seemed impossible.

Thank goodness for Collages! So here is what we have been up to the past week or so!...

(Make sure you click on the collages so you can see them BIGGER!)

Aunt Kylee came to visit us! She even used her precious Disneyland money from her piggy bank to buy the plane ticket out here! She is a sweetheart! She didn't want to miss out on seeing Ammon, especially since she was there when Marek was born. Let me tell you, we were all thankful she came. We had a blast with her and she has the TOUCH with Ammon. Anytime Ammon was crying or we needed him to sleep, we just gave him to Kylee. He was always silent and would fall asleep instantly with her. Marek warmed up to her as well and now they too have a special bond :)

Grandpa Kunzler ALSO came out! He flew in at the same time Kylee did! When Kylee wasn't holding Ammon, Dad was! Ammon and Marek love their Grandpa! Grandpa loved Ammon sleeping on his chest and Grandpa played with Marek all the time. My dad also saved mine and Chaz's life on many things! He brought me a new computer from Utah, he fixed Chaz's old computer to take on deployment, he took some family pictures for us and did anything else we weren't able to do on our own. One of the biggest things... he was there to give and help with blessings. One of them being...

Ammon Chaz Allen's baby blessing! Chaz blessed Ammon on Sunday March, 7th. It was a beautiful blessing. Ammon is wearing Chaz's baby blessing outfit he was blessed in as a baby! This is extra special because they share the same name. I had so much fun dressing Ammon. I crossed and uncrossed his suspenders trying decide which one I liked more. After Kylee nicely said he looked like an oompa loompa with them crossed, I decided to keep them UNcrossed. Haha. Thanks for your fashionable sense, Ky :) Ammon sure looked so dang ADORABLE. Thanks Mom Allen for keeping Chaz's outfit for the past 26 years!!! :)

Pictures of the boys before church. It is impossible to get a shot with them both happy and smiling. I have yet to get one. We got close with one of them, but as you can see up there, Ammon wasn't crying... but he wasn't happy. He tends to scowl. A lot. Haha. I think he is bitter he had to come out of the womb. I think he would have preferred to stay in there forever. I understand. It's a hard life.

We went to the Nashville zoo! We got a membership for the whole year! And good thing cuz this park is awesome! Marek LOVED the animals and would sign them the whole time. He loved spending time with his daddy. Marek is fearless and whenever he got the chance he would try and touch the animals. He ALWAYS goes for their face and their mouths. What if they bite him? I know! But apparently Marek is NOT concerned with this. They have a park there and it is the coolest thing ever invented! Just look at the pics! Chaz says our $80 we paid for membership was totally worth it just for this park!

We also went to our friend's house for a farewell to the boys that are deploying. They all leave in the next week or two. But all those boys leaving... means all these girls Staying! We are sad to see them go, but look for the bright side and are happy we have each other :)

Kylee wanted to go to the Opry Mills Mall so we could see the Gibson Guitar showcase. Her husband is obsessed with Gibson guitar... so she wanted to do a little rubbing in the face :) IT WAS SOO COOL RYAN :) lol. She also found a Jack in the Box...her favorite. So we had to stop there and get Tacos! Yup, not burgers, tacos. But they were very good! Now I'll get to rub in HER face that I can eat there any time I want to! :)

Kylee and I also did the Oxygen thing at the mall. It is where you breath in scented oxygen and get massaged in a chair for 20 mintues. Then you drink an engery drink, while still breathing in oxygen and getting massaged. It is supposed to give you lots of energy and relax you. It gets rid of headaches, hangovers, etc. :) Chaz and Dad watched the boys while we got this pampering done. It was an awesome experience! I am glad I did it! As you can tell in the pics... I was a little relaxed. It looks like I just died. haha. We tried to give some to Marek. He didn't like the idea of something going up his nose :)

I forgot to put this pic in the collage. Chaz and Dad went paintballing with the guys. It was a fun time for them! Except the part where Chaz open fired on my dad and hit him in the crotch 3 times- on accident! And they were on the SAME team! Fun memories. Dad was such a good sport!

Precious pictures of Chaz and Marek. Chaz is such a wonderful dad, doing everything and anything with Marek. Marek sure loves him and is going to miss him terribly. I hope I can at least half way fill Chaz's shoes, plus my own, while he is gone. These two are adorable together.

Ammon and Daddy. Nothing has been more rewarding then seeing Chaz with his second son. Chaz is treasuring these last fleeting moments with Ammon. I need to take more pictures of them together. Time. You are not my friend.

A family picture of us. Again, impossible to get EVERYONE smiling. Someday.

This is the closest one to perfect, lol. Dad did a great job taking our pictures... I just wish he had a little more cooperative audience! These pictures will be treasured though! Thank you Dad for your time and patience! :)

Thank you Kylee and Dad for taking time out to come see our growing family! We love you dearly!

And thanks to everyone that gave me your email address who read our blog and keep up with our lives! We love you, too!!
