Meet The Allred Family

Matt and I were married on January 6, 2007. On that day, I married my best friend. Matt is the most amazing man and is the biggest support to our family. I have a daughter, Madison, who is 5 years old now. Matt has a son, Cohen, who is 3 years old. We just welcomed the newest addition to our family, Allison, on December 27th. Our days tend to be very busy but oh so worth it! I am truly the most blessed woman in the world!!

Meet the Allred Family:

Matt and Jamie Allred (Daddy and Mommy)



Matt is 32 now. He is currently working for AT&T. He does an amazing job and is one of the top representatives in the call center he works at! He comes home and starts working overtime as my husband and daddy. All of our kids look up to him as a positive person. I do as well! Our lives are so much better for having him in it. He is so amazing with Madison. I could not ask for a better man! He treats her the same as he does his biological children. He helps her with her Bible studies and loves her unconditionally! She loves him the same!!
I am 25 now. Due to complications during my pregnancy with Allison, I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I love being with Allison all of the time. I also love being able to go to Madison's school events. However, I miss my other job. I am a Cardiovascular Surgical Technologist. I am very passionate about my career. I also love knowing that when I am working, it takes some of the stress off of Matt. He never complains, I just don't like seeing him stretched so thin! I am looking back into working again. Sooner than later....

Madison (Our Gymnast)



Madison is getting ready to turn 6 in June! She is almost finished with her Kindergarten year. We are so proud of her! She is reading now and gets special notes sent home with her talking about how well she is doing and how she sets a great example for the other kids. This past weekend, Madison competed in the state Trampoline and Tumbling meet. She is ranked 6th in the state, out of 110, in double-mini and trampoline! She qualified for Regionals in Fort Worth. That meet will take place the middle of May. What makes us most proud of her is her love of God. She has been asking several questions about becoming a Christian. We are going through a workbook with her that helps explain what that decisions really means. She will be going back to North Carolina in June to be with her biological dad for about 6 weeks. She is excited about going. We will be missing one of the most amazing people in the world when she is gone!

Cohen (The Bible Scholar)



Cohen will be 4 in June. When people talk to Cohen, they are surprised by his age. Cohen is simply amazing! I have lost count of how many Bible verses he has memorized. He has so much love for life and his family. Everyone that comes in contact with Cohen is truly blessed by him. Cohen lives in Post, Texas with his mom and her family. We are able to see him every other weekend and some extended periods throughout the year. It is not nearly enough for us!! He is so missed when he is not with us. Our family is truly what holds us all together and we make the best of the times that we have everyone together. I am so blessed to be a part of Cohen's life. I really look forward to what the future holds for us all!

Allison (The Smallest Allred)



Allison is our newest addition. She made our family complete on December 27, 2007. She was born 4 weeks early. She is our miracle. I started having contractions when I was 21 weeks pregnant. I was in and out of the hospital. Towards the end of my pregnancy, I was having to go to the doctor 3 times a week. It was all worth it! God has blessed my family so much with all three of our kids. God never stops amazing me! Allison will be four months old in a few weeks. It amazes me how fast she has grown. She is such a good baby. She sleeps through the night, rolls over on occasion, and is so full of smiles for everyone. It is fun to watch her because she is still so small! Her newest trick is to do laps in her crib at night. She somehow manages to push herself along the edge of her crib. She is so strong for someone so tiny!!

You have now been introduced to the Allred Family. We are not a perfect family in any way. We are however, a Christian family that has so much love to give one another. Yes, we do have hard times, but together we make it through them. God has blessed us so much and continues to do so daily!
