Mawsie & Pawsie

Mawsie and Pawsie came to visit too.  We went to Arkansas to visit the fam there for a couple of days!

 Nathan got to fish with Pawsie and Uncle Jim.

 He wasn't quite sure of the fish.

 Riding the seadoo was a HUGE hit!

 We provided quite the entertainment at the Mexican restaurant in Hot Springs!

 Look at that smirk...such a mess!

 Mom and Dad bought Nathan a pirate costume...he LOVED it! 

 What is this face???

 I love this precious picture of Rebekah and my mom!!

 These 2 were quite the pair!

Mom and Dad, thanks for making the trip to come and visit us...we had a blast!

I am so thankful our kids have such wonderful grandparents!  

Nan & Pappy and Mawsie & Pawsie...we love and appreciate you all!!

Nan & Pappy

Nan and Pappy came to visit last month!  As always, we had a blast! 

 Rebekah got a new cute Alabama dress.

  Of course, Daddy was proud!

 Nan also picked out a sweet pink dress for Rebekah.

 Nathan wouldn't move the water bottle...oh well, it's still a cute pic.

 2. 5 men in a baby pool...a sight to see!

 Nathan had a blast bowling.  He thought the dinosaur "slide" was the coolest!

 Pappy and Rebekah!

 We spent a couple nights at the Gaylord Texan (what an incredible place) with Nan.

I love this pic of my little fish!!

Thanks for coming Nan and Pappy...come back soon!

little sweeties...

 

 I just love these two!!

Hide and Seek

Nathan's favorite hiding spot!  He hasn't quite picked up on the game though.
 
Nathan: "Mommy, you go out there and then come find me."
Me:  "OK." Out in the hall I count to ten then playing along I'll say "Where is Nathan?"
Nathan: "Mommy, I'm in here.  Over here by the animals!"

Ha...I love this little boy!!

Sundays

Sundays can be a little crazy for the Barnes' kids because it usually means nap times are cut shorter and/or do not happen at all!  This is what happened when I attempted to put Rebekah in the crib in the church nursery for a nap.

Who wants to sleep when your sweet friend Lauren is playing right next to you!!  These 2 girls were born just hours apart...it is so fun watching them grow together!

Such a cute little lady!! 

Their faces crack me up!

The Beginning

So...I've decided to start blogging about all the fun, daily adventures we have at the Barnes' house!  I am hoping it will serve as a journal for us to look back on and remember these fun days!   My sweet friend Ashley practically set it all up for me...doesn't it look awesome?  We'll see how it goes! 

My sweet babies!  I couldn't be more grateful for them!!  We pray that Nathan always adores his baby sister as much as he does now!
