Utah State Halftime

2009-12-13T13:28:00.002-07:00

The Aggies hosted the Proform Airborne Jump Rope team this weekend. The jumpers did a great halftime show. We ate at the Mickelsons home in Logan and are grateful for all they do for our team. Their daughter Sara is betrothed to our son Caleb. The only snag we see right now is that she is already a freshman in college so it may be a long wait for Caleb.

WXHS Soccer Dream

2009-11-06T06:41:00.004-07:00

Sorry everybody you'll have to forgive me for this one. I was playing around with the video editing on my day off and this little project is the result.

Atlanta Trip 2009

2009-11-03T18:54:00.003-07:00

The Wonderful Atlanta Tour of 2009

October Birthday's

2009-11-01T20:11:00.003-07:00

Had our October birthdays. Gracie turned 9 and had an elaborate costume party planned with all of her friends (I've asked her to plan my 40th birthday in Feb and she is already gathering important information for the event.) Hannah turned 14 and we all went to frightmares at Lagoon with Dave and Melanie's family. We also spent time with Grandpa and Grandma Allred to get the famous Grandma Allred card.

Atlanta Trip

2009-11-01T19:55:00.003-07:00

Atlanta is a way fun city. We went to the coca cola factory. Nanette is posing with the statue of the dude that invented the 'secret coke formula'. I forget his name but he ranks up there with Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny for bringing happiness to all. We went to the aquarium, Margaret Mitchells home (author of Gone with the Wind) and the Bodies exhibit. We were excited to be on a subway again, but Atlanta's subway system is tiny compared to NYC and Boston, still it is always fun to people watch on the subway. We bought a free paper from a man who was obviously in need of a shave and a haircut.

The U2 Concert

2009-11-01T19:36:00.004-07:00

Sorry everybody but we just have to put some of these pictures up. Me, Nanette, Hannah and Caleb flew to Atlanta Georgia to watch an absolutely amazing concert. Muse was the opening group and was quite fun to listen to. Then the show began. I couldn't believe how completely amazing this concert was.

Hannah and Caleb weren't even embarrased by their parents dancing and singing. If you get a chance to go to this U2 concert definitely do it. Nanette and I will be going to the concert in Denver June14th 2010 so let us know and we'd love to go together.

NELSON-ALLRED VACATION TRADITION BEGINS

2009-11-01T19:16:00.007-07:00

We had a fantastic vacation this summer with our friends, Paul and Ginny Nelson and their family. We hope to make this a tradition since it was so much fun. We all went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. John had to go do a delivery 30 minutes into the movie and got locked out of the theater trying to get back in. Our two families obviously won the best costumes of the night. Nanette and Ginny took a week in Provo for summer camps. Hannah did Tennis camp with Matthew. When Paul flew out from texas to meet up with us we all went camping in Yellowstone park where we met up with Ginny's parents. It was great to have them with us and can't wait for them to move to Idaho (please???)

Love Backflips

2009-11-01T19:10:00.002-07:00

We have two three very talented gymnasts. Grace has decided to do ballet however and is not pictured here. Her role in the nutcracker will be coming this december

EXTREME SHOW 2009

2009-10-19T16:00:00.002-07:00

This is the advertizement Ben made for our Extreme Jump Rope Show. We would love to have anyone come and watch. It is Saturday November 14th at 7:00pm at Madison High School and its going to be amazing.

ward party

2009-10-19T14:38:00.004-07:00

This was a fun little ward show some of the jumpers put on the other day.

716 Autumn Drive (so far)

2009-09-24T08:13:00.002-07:00

Hey everybody. Here is the update on our new home. I hope you don't get too sick watching but it gives a pretty decent idea of the progress so far. Weare a long way from completion but it sure has been fun to watch it go up. We will expect lots of visitors when we are moved in. We figured we had to do something to entice family and friends to come and visit. If the finished home doesn't work I promise to start showering daily.

YEAH IT'S REAL !!!

2009-08-29T17:22:00.004-07:00

Proform Airborne (the Rexburg Team) brought 16 jumpers. There were 998 total jumpers there. Not many will ever place in an event. The opportunity to compete among the nations best jumpers however is quite an amazing opportunity. The team did outstanding. Hannah and Caleb both placed, Hannah in double dutch double and Caleb in his single freestyle routine.

Archiving the 80's

2009-02-16T16:20:00.005-07:00

For Christms this year Nanette converted all of my old high school soccer videos to DVD. I have put together a quick flasback file reminiscent of the days with Def Leppard, mullets and when Woods Cross High ruled the soccer world.

Grace Dancing

2009-02-16T13:49:00.003-07:00

Grace, our little dancer, did such a great job this Christmas.

BYU Halftime

2009-02-16T11:57:00.005-07:00

We had so much fun in Utah for the Jump Rope weekend. Hannah and Caleb enjoyed quite the family outpouring of support. Grandma Allred and Clark, The Asby's and the Clarks. It was fun to watch the BYU game with Dave and Mel and their family. It was also impressive to realize Hannah, Caleb, Rachel and Sarah are crazy enough fans to get themselves on the big screen scoreboard with all those college students as competition.

Caleb Back Flip

2009-02-15T22:36:00.003-07:00

Caleb has learned a new trick!!!

Grace's Baptism

2008-11-04T16:10:00.008-07:00

On November 1st Grace was baptized by her father. It was a wonderful ceremony. Grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles and friends attended. Grace was so excited to follow the exmple of our Savior. She looked so beautiful in her baptism dress. Thank you to all that made the drive to Rexburg to make this such a wonderful experience.

Nanette Honored

2008-10-20T17:03:00.003-07:00

Nanette organized The Proform Airborne Extreme Jump Rope Show October 18th 2008. It was an incredible success. She and several other parents spent hours, resulting in a fantastic experience for all involved. I wish we could post the entire 30 minute show...it is amazing.

Cotton-Eye Joe

2008-10-19T20:03:00.003-07:00

Extreme Jump Rope opener showcased the entire team performing Cotton Eye Joe.

Extreme Jump Rope Show

2008-10-19T16:29:00.004-07:00

CALEB'S HIGHLIGHTS

Proform Airborne put on a fantastic show October 18th 2008. We had three USA National Team Members there. Over 1000 people came to see the show. Nanette was in charge of putting the show together and was made an honorary team member. I have made a photo-library of some of Hannah and Caleb's highlights. The last few pictures of Hannah's highlight's, Proform is pulling off, possibly the largest rainbow routine ever performed (30 Jumpers...no mistakes). Enjoy....

BYU Soccer Antiques

2008-10-12T18:38:00.005-07:00

Spent the weekend in Provo mixing it up with the BYU soccer alumni. It was so much fun. Cory Cuvelier (1991-92) don't look a day older than 25... right? We played BYU-I under the lights friday night and had an alumni game on good old Haws Field saturday morning. Mike Woolley gave a hearty "Hi Ho" to pass along to Ben Allred (1990-91 BYU soccer alumni). Head coach Chris Watkins even remembered 'Rexburg Caleb' from soccer summer camps.

Redwood Vacation

2008-10-12T18:27:00.005-07:00

We spent a week in Northern California August 2008. The Redwood Forest is an amazing site. It is exciting to be so close to living organisms that old, tall and awe inspiring. The coast provided an abundant wildlife adventure; starfish, anemone, whales, harbor seals, otters, pelican, banana slugs, and California Rednecks were everywhere. We stayed in a rental home in Trinidad California and found out "hot tub" in the brochure was actually the communal hot tub three blocks away behind the Catholic church, fragrantly located two feet from the compost pile.

Top of Utah Marathon

2008-10-05T07:23:00.004-07:00

The Top of Utah Marathon was a great experience. It was so great having most of our family there (Caleb had 2 soccer games in Idaho) I finished my first Marathon in 4:09. Kevin and Shanna Duke were great hosts(thanks guys). I hit a major wall @ mile 17 but thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The absolute best part was seeing Nanette and the girls at the finish line. No major injuries and amazing scenery along the way. I'm hoping to do the SLC marathon with Matt and Shane. Nanette, Hannah & Caleb may do the 5k. I saw a bumper sticker that weekend that said, "running a marathon is cheaper than psychotherapy". After the year we have had I may need to run several more.

Pocatello Half Marathon

2008-09-04T14:59:00.003-07:00

I just finished the Pocatello Half Marathon Labor Day weekend. This finish line photo is a great representation of me telling myself that I am crazy to run the Logan full marathon September 20th. I finished in 1:47.

Wind Cave Hike

2008-08-10T16:44:00.002-07:00

On Saturday Dad, Hannah & Caleb took a day hike together. The Wind Cave trully lives up to its name(very windy & cold). It is pictured just above the children and you can see a waterfall flowing just below the opening of the cave. The scenery was breathtaking. We spent about three and a half hours hiking, exploring the cave and veiwing the brilliant wildflowers of the Targhee National forest. The trailhead is about a 45 minute drive from our front door. We didn't have time to see the ice cave which is one mile from the Wind Cave.

Coldplay Concert

2008-08-07T14:26:00.004-07:00

Nanette and I had a great weekend in Las Vegas!! We saw the 'Bodies' exhibit and it was absolutely amazing. They have created some intricate exhibits that place the creation of the human body as the greatest work of art in my book.(They did however mislable the cervix...no biggy). The highlight of the trip...besides being with Nanette for an uninterrupted 36 hours...was the Coldplay concert. We had a blast. We have front row seats for the concert on Nov 21st in Denver. We are taking Hannah and Caleb to the Nov 22nd concert in SLC. VIVA LA VIDA BABY!!!

Ashby/Allred Outdoor Adventure

2008-08-06T18:44:00.015-07:00

We had the best weekend with the Ashby's. We spent time in St Anthony swimming and floating the river. Nanette, John, Carmen and Grace floated about 20 feet away from a big bull moose. We all went to Jackson and did the Jenny Lake hike. The children were awesome hikers. I think the energy pills helped (candy). John and Ryan did a fair amount of piggy back rides but we all made it back. It was so nice to have them in our home. We love visitors and have such wonderful places to visit. So come on up to Idaho y'all.

2008-08-06T18:29:00.002-07:00

For my birthday, John surprised me with a plane ticket to SC to see my friend Ginny. We went to the midnight release of Breaking Dawn. I read until at least 5 a.m., which was O.K because I could sleep in as long as I wanted. Later, I continued to read while soaking up the sun on Myrtle Beach. John really scored some good husband points...He's as good as Edward.

Hannah's Gold Medal Double Dutch Single

2008-08-06T06:41:00.006-07:00

Junior Olympics 2008

2008-08-05T21:40:00.003-07:00

Proform Airborne cleaned house in Reno this year! Hannah and Caleb each earned several medals (8-9 each). Hannah's double dutch team recieved the all around gold medal because they are simply awesome and have 'backflip Hannah'. She can do a backflip into the double dutch ropes. The coaches asked her to show several of the jumpers how at a clinic held the following day. Caleb took the all around individual gold medal in his age group. They are both doing awesome. Videos are forthcoming.

LEFT BRAIN THOUGHTS FROM A LEFT BRAINED KIND OF GUY

2008-08-05T21:26:00.003-07:00

I often encounter patients who seek out opportunities to, 'stump the doctor'. It's fun and sometimes quite entertaining. Here is the last 'attempt' from a 30 week pregnant patient and her husband... "Dr. Allred my wife and I are going to California this week, is it safe for her to be out in the sun?'

me: "Yes it is safe as long as appropriate precautions are taken and you use common sense."

"Are tanning beds considered safe?"

me:"I would recommend not using the tanning bed during pregnancy for various reasons."

"Well then what's the difference between being on the beach and using a tanning bed?"

me(and this stumped him)" The differnce is simple...you can't sue God for making the sun too hot but you can sue the owner of the tanning bed if your baby has any complications from either one."

I know it's not much but I thought it was fun...I love the logic of the left side of the brain...

Is running safe?

2008-08-05T21:17:00.005-07:00

Teton Dam Marathon: I'm pictured here with Jeff Roderick our lead off leg for the relay. We took third place losing to a group of caffeinated teenagers and hormone crazed college students. Not bad for a group of married men in their 30's. Matt Allred and I ran the Canyon to Canyon 1/2 Marathon in July. It was Matt's first 1/2 Marathon and he did it less than 2 hours !! He also suffered a stress fracture in his foot. I am scheduled for the Pocatello 1/2 marathon Aug 30th and the top of Utah full Marathon the end of September. I will be submitting my living will to my lawyer the day before.

Christmas in NYC

2008-06-30T21:37:00.003-07:00

Late entry obviously but don't we look good in a big city. We had so much fun in NYC. We hit as many site's as we could in four days. We stayed at the Marriot Marquis, saw four musicals, went to the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Chinatown, Ellis Island, Rockefellar Center and ate @ some great resturaunts. It was great for me to be able to speak the language (ie east coastish).We also spent half of the week in Vermont with Ben & Jen and their boys. When we talk about the trip the highlight was definitely spending time with them in Vermont. Family is just the greatest.

Sienfeld Weekend

2008-06-30T21:30:00.002-07:00

Nanette and I went to see Jerry Sienfeld this weekend. It was great and surprisingly clean. We also spent some time with the Vermont Allreds and had a fantastic time. Taylor, Ethan and Weston are growing up so fast. I think they would grow much faster if they moved to Idaho.

JR. OLYMPICS ARE COMING (Cotton Eye Joe)

2008-06-30T21:09:00.004-07:00

This is from 2006. We should have more videos after Junior Olympics for both Caleb and Hannah. They go to Reno July 11-13th. GOOD LUCK HANNAH & CALEB!!!

Jump Rope Video

2008-06-30T20:40:00.004-07:00

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to rotate the video. This is Hannah's regionals 2006 single routine where she took fourth place her first year in competition.

2008-05-01T16:25:00.003-07:00

We absolutely loved going down to Utah for Mom's 60th birthday. We are so grateful for all mom has done for us. The book is a wonderful tribute to her and the example she has been to all of us. We love you Mom.

2008-05-01T16:19:00.002-07:00

Caleb is doing fantastic this year. So far the 'Madison Diski' are undefeated after 10 games. They start the Idaho Falls Shootout this weekend and the on to the Pocatello Friendship Cup next weekend.

Our Artist

2008-04-06T19:10:00.003-07:00

Grace has become quite the artist. This is her latest work. Grandma Allred is the third choir member from the lest on the front row. We will miss you during conference Mom. We love you.

Soccer Shots

2008-04-06T18:56:00.004-07:00

We must include our family's David Beckham moment. Caleb was able to meet David in SLC and get this picture. Nanette went back to get his autograph. Mr. Beckham has yet to return our Christmas cards. Caleb's competative outdoor team won their first game 6-2 last week and Caleb got his first yellow card for dissent. He now joins the ranks of Allred soccer players capable of irritating referee's without significant effort. Way to go Caleb.

Region 12 Jump Rope

2008-04-06T17:59:00.005-07:00

Hannah and Caleb just finished the regional jumprope competition in Boise Idaho. They were fantastic. Hannah jumped in the very competative girls 13-14 year age group came away with two 6th place ribbons, two fifth place ribbons and one fourth place ribbon qualifying for a spot at the National Jump Rope tournament in Orlando Florida. Hannah's single routine included a roundoff back tuck. Caleb also qualified for Nationals with three second place ribbons, three third place, one fifth and one sixth place ribbon. He took second with his boys 11-12 year age group single freestyle. They will likely be competing in the West Coast Junior Olympics this summer to better prepare for the National competition next year. If you haven't seen our kids show off at half-time shows you are missing a real treat.
