(For those of you who only stop by to see recent pics of the boys please just scroll past all this for new photos of my love bugs below!)
So here goes my 7 random things about myself:
1. I don't enjoy clothes shopping (this is one reason I am afraid to have a little girl) I am short waisted and have long legs so nothing ever fits me right - I know I should take Stacey and Clinton's (my friends from What not to Wear) advice and get my clothes tailored but who's got time for that?! Usually when I do go buy clothes it's because I need something to wear ASAP!
2. I MUST, MUST, MUST take a shower every day to feel like I've been productive (preferably in the a.m)- even if I never leave the house and just feed and change babies, clean and do laundry all day. I always take a shower and blow dry my hair. No make up unless I'm going out and usually I just wear sweats all day as well if I'm not planning on leaving - no use dirtying up my nice blue jeans and t-shirts :) (Those of you who know me well know that blue jeans and t-shirts/sweatshirts are the backbone of my wardrobe)
3. I have this weird fascination with Britney Spears - whenever I see a special about her I have to sit down and watch it. Her life makes me really sad. I don't think she is a great singer at all but I love her pop songs and wish I could dance like her!
4. Neither of my boys have ever worn a peter pan collar, tights, or smocked jumpers. It's not that I am a hater of these things, but honestly, I didn't even know what "smocked" was until a couple of years ago. Jeremy and I grew up in very similar socio-economic upbringings (he says I'm a redneck but if I am so is he!) and this way of dressing little boys is just not something we were ever around so I never had visions of having a little boy and dressing him in all these little cute outfits - and Jeremy sure didn't! I have learned since living in Birmingham that it is apparently a terrible faux pas to dress your babies in blue jeans or khaki's if they are under the age of 1 - chalk it up to my redneck upbringing :)
5. I, like my friend Annie, is shy around new people, unlike my husband who could really talk to a wall, I have a hard time making conversation with people I first meet. I also have this thing about thinking people don't remember me so often when I see people that I have met in the past, if they don't give me a recognizing look I won't usually say anything to them, assuming they have no idea who I am. (I probably need to be delivered from this because I probably come off as very rude if they actually do remember me)
6. I forget to brush my 17 months teeth everyday - I know, how terrible is that! I'm trying to figure out a way to make it part of my routine but I tend to get side tracked a lot.
7. I am a blog stalker. I frequent the blogs of several people that I have never met but are friends of friends. I have even seen them out and about from time to time and think, "hey, I know you, oh, no I don't, I just stalk your blog". I've thought about walking up and saying, "how is so and so and that trip to the beach sure looked fun!" but I don't want to scare anyone.
So there are my seven - hope you enjoyed - I tried to think of truly random facts!
Here are recent pics of the Allen boys:
John-Mark and daddy getting some good face time - he loves to touch your face
Chillin' in his Johnny Jump-Up. Both of my boys have not been big jumpers in this toy - they just like to spin around in it and play with all the lights. I think they like the feel of freedom they have just hanging there all by themselves
James offering his little brother some of his water - so sweet
"mom, do I have a monkey on my back?"This cute little "back pack" was given to me by my sweet friend Mrs. Cindy and it has a tail that you can hold on to if you want to take them out in a store with this on thier backs so you can keep track of them - James loves to wear it around the house and run so the tail comes following after!
To cut or not to cut?
James' curls are sooo precious and I just love them but I'm scared he is really starting to look like a little girl. I'm not quite ready to get his hair cut because I'm afraid these are just baby curls and they won't grow back and I don't think I'm ready to see him without them and looking like a real little boy! what do you think?

I don't think anyone will confuse James for a girl.....now throw some tights or a Peter Pan collar on him and we'll see!!! I am in total agreement on this issue, and one of my favorite items of clothing Isaac ever had was a pair of the softest 0-3 month jeans from the Children's Place. So I guess we're both rednecks!
I'm so glad you did this! I enjoyed reading about you. We have a lot in common, and I am SO excited about your small group. I can't wait to get to know you better, AND the topic is one I really need. So yea! :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one so interested in Britney's life. It's just so sad, and I'm so intrigued. It just amazes me that people live that way.
Her music is great for working out to, or so I think. I wouldn't say she has a magical voice either. :)
The smocked clothes for boys...my boys have worn very little. There are many outfits that both Channing and I refuse to put on our boys. By the age of two, it's pretty much over. Channing is way more into polos and khakis. When I used to keep the two and three year olds at church, and some of the boys would come in dressed in bubbles, I would just have to smile. Couldn't imagine dressing my boys in bubbles, but maybe I'm a redneck too. :)
When I first read (I think on facebook)your thing about not talking to people because you're afraid they might not recognize you...I thought, "I'm not the only one!" I do the exact same thing! Maybe we can work through it together. :)
My boys never had a johnny jump up, but I think our little girl will have to have one. Everyone raves about them.
I LOVE James' curls! Don't cut them...not yet. He looks very much like a boy, especially if he doesn't wear those questionable outfits that Channing says I put on Asher from time to time. :)
Ok, sorry for the novel. I just really enjoyed your post. :)
