Just the 3 of us...

We had such a great weekend...just the 3 of us!! 

Ben started the weekend by surprising me with some pretty fall flowers when he came home from work!!  What a great guy!!!  :)

We had dinner out, went grocery shopping, got a few projects completed, organized some and just spent quality time together!!  Here are a few pics from our weekend. 

OH...and we also got some much needed RAIN!!!!  It has been so dry that wildfires have been starting everywhere and people have even lost homes.  I hope this rain will help and also continue for a while! 

Flowers from my sweet hubby!!

CUTE feet!!

Recovered my chairs

Painted headboard and footboard...still have to put it all together!

Daddy makes a really good jungle gym!!  :)

Barrett is in LOVE with this book!!  Seriously!  He even cries when you close it.

Horrible picture of me but Bella jumped in our laps because the thunder scared her. 

She's such a scaredy cat!!  Barrett loved that she was in his lap! 

So thankful for this life and family God has blessed me with!!!!

Skype

We like to Skye with Papa T every couple days.  One day, Barrett will look back at this picture of us "skyping" and it will seem so out of date!  haha  For now, we think it is pretty high tech!

MOPS

Today, Barrett and I began MOPS for the first time.  I am going totally out of my comfort zone by doing this because I do not know anyone!  I was very excited to go to MOPS but very nervous to leave Barrett in the nursery with people he and I didn't know.  He did great at drop-off, took a tiny nap for them, but was whining when I came to pick him up.  :(  I was practically sprinting to go pick him up. 
I am excited for MOPS and feel like it will be a great time of fellowship for me and good for Barrett to interact with other kiddos. 

Here we are before leaving...

I wish we could keep him this age and size forever!!  He is so happy and fun!!!

Welcome Baby Hal

Baby Hal was born this morning!!!!  He weighed 8.11 and was 20 1/2" long.  We are very excited and can't wait to meet him!!

We are now Uncle Ben and Aunt Audrey and Barrett has a cousin close in age that he will grow up with and make lots of memories with!!!

Congratulations Luke and Meredith!!!! 

Baby Hal...you are so loved already!!!  :)

Happy 60th Birthday Papa T!!!

Happy 60th Birthday Papa T!!!!  We hope you have a fantastic year!  We all love you so very much!!!

This weekend we went to stay at my parents for the weekend and celebrated my dad's birthday.  60 years old!!!  :) 
Papa T bought and installed Barrett a swing and he loves it!!!  I guess swinging is relaxing for him because he nearly falls asleep every time. 
We went to eat at Clear Springs for his birthday dinner, ate chocolate cake, buttermilk pie and gave him his presents! 
Saturday, we spent the day with Jeannie and Pops (Bens parents).  We had a great time!  We went to Karma's to hang out at the lake and ate yummy shrimp creole made by Jean!  YUM!

Papa T thought we were coming Friay afternoon but we surprised him and showed up at his shop Friday morning!  :)

Papa T took Barrett on a tractor ride!

Walking around the yard with Nonnie.  It was such pretty weather!!!

I walked in the living room one morning and found them like this.  LOVE!!!

Rolling from back to tummy!!

YAY!!  Barrett can finally roll from his back to his tummy.  :)  Now he can roll all around! 

First Teeth!!!!

Barrett has been teething for a while now...lots of chewing and drool!!  He has done great with it so far...not very fussy at all!!  We can finally see 2 little teeth popping through on the bottom.  I'm going to miss his "gummy" little smile!!!
