weighing in at just over *22 POUNDS*

Nathan is getting ready to be 5 months old next week. It is so crazy how fast time flys. He has had a fun little life so far. Born at 8lb 15 oz. Came home and lost more weight than the doctor liked so we had to suppliment  hime with formaula for a few weeks to get his weight back up. Once we were in the clear stopped the formula and he is doing great. I am so proud of this little guy. Living with three girls he and his dad are so out numbered. He has grown to love the squeezes of love from his sisters. I am so excited to see what our little bubba does next. Here are a few pics to see where he has been.

please no more pictures

Look at our guy

 

Okay I promise I am finished. Just get caught up in how much I love these little people. God blesses me everyday. Even on the hard days….much more to come.

My Sweet Jane Bug!!!

With all of this free time today…. I am gonna post a few things.

This is such our little “princess”. I am very careful with this word because it is not one used often in our family. You see, we were not a family with a princess until Madame Adair came out of her shell. She is a very soft and sweet little girl to those whom she does not know but at home she is a dress up, heel wearing princess! It has been such fun to watch her play with all of her different gowns.  When we get home the shoes come off and the heels go on.  This one morning was a little moody but I managed to catch a shot of her.

Sorry the shoes were not on yet. I was wrong.

 

tHe DaY hAs CoMe

It was a sad but special day on Thursday night at our house.  I no longer have a girl in a baby bed. My two sweet girls are growing up. It is such a blessing to be able to watch first hand as they learn new things every day. I am so grateful for them to call me mom.  This is a jump in the norm of Barrett life, to have just one in a crib.

 

Here comes the cold….

FALL!!!! This is by far my favorite time of the year. I love when it gets cooler in the mornings, a little breezy, and most of all the sweaters and hot chocolate! ( Yes, I am a lover of the coco) We have had many fun mornings going out on the porch to find new leaves that the wind has left behind. The girls are very fascinated with the fun leaves. Hope you are enjoying fall as much as we are.

Hens vs. Bats

Take me out to the ballgame!  Last Saturday night our family went to a River Bats ball game. It was a great night with all 5 of us together enjoying the nice weather, ball game and a slushie.  To our surprise the girls did awesome. I was so glad that we got to see most of the game. We are having such fun being a family of 5.  It has been so nice to be able to get out just as a family. Wanted to share a few pics from our evening.

Check out this daddy’s girl

This was cute. The famous Chicken was there this night and at one point he brought out his chicks.  It was just funny!

Nathan Scott with his alert looking self.  He is my Mr. Handsome!  

Where is the Janie bug? She is so friendly with everyone. Love that! This little lady can really eat.

Thanks for reading our family outing. Hope you all are doing well. With lots of love. The Barretts.

Small Places

Today while I was in the back getting Nathan cleaned up I overheard Emma fussing at Jane. Not sure what was going on Nathan and I went to see. Emma was sitting in the laundry basket and fussing because Jane would not sit with her. The laundry basket is pretty small with not much space for two but Emma insisted that her little sister sit wth her. It was funny listening to them talk in their kid sister langauge.

Two busy girls and one sleepy boy…

Here are some pictures of the kids!

Jane is not camera shy and Emma can finally pull her hair up (we were really excited)

Lyndon fair… this is one of our favorite summer outings we shared with the Abrahams

nothing like backyard fun with the family (emma loves watering)

Back and Ready for More

Wow. The fair was long and fun. Our friends (Liz) and many others have encouraged me to put an update on this sweet blog. I’m sorry for my neglect. I am a wimp when it comes to this thing.

So… Happy 2009! After the fun summer we traveled home to have some much needed family time with the Florida Barretts. Enjoyed a great visit, and the second week of January found out that we will be having a little boy in June. Nathan Scott Barrett will be an exciting addition to our family. Kyle has decided to show off his manhood of Facebook. I will be posting pictures soon of the family and girls.

A quick update on my sweet girls. Emma Jean is just under 28 months old  and to call her a “live wire” would be an understatement. She is so full of life and ready to learn every second. We have almost gotten rid of her pacifier and she talks more now than she ever has.  It is so fun to see how much she is growing from baby to child.  Jane Adair - my sweet girl. She is almost 15 months old and her sweet cuddle bug attitude is something I can’t say enough about. To see her personality come to life is just such fun.  God has overwhelmed my heart. I love these two little girls.

So Nathan Scott Barrett came on the scene June 5th 2009. He weighed in at 8lb 14oz. Yes these kids are out numbering me. We have really been having fun trying to get used to having three. It is such fun having a boy.

Thank you for waiting on us to post we love and thank each of you for your prayers for us. We love you Liz:>

We went to the Fair!!!

Seriously, these pictures should have been put up awhile ago.  Sorry.  Ok, so Kyle and I have never gone to the fair together.  I have asked and asked him to go but he was never very interested in going.  Well fun fun this is the first year we went.  Two kids later but we went.   Our great friends, Ryan and Emily McBride, went with us and we had a really good time.  I am so glad that we went this year.

Emma saw her first cow! She was not impressed

Family picture, yea everyone is looking, sort of.

Thanks for checking out our fun fair day. It was fun.

Gone Flying….

Kyle’s parents came into town the last weekend of August for a visit. I love when they come to see us, it is always fun times. Emma and Jane got to spend some time with there Granna and Papa B. I think they wore them out. Miss Emma is very busy.  The girls loved getting to see them. 

After many long busy days of us taking them on outings with the girls, Kyle and I loved keeping them up late to play cards. It is becoming a Barrett tradition. I really enjoy the competition between the girls and guys. Joyce and I own the Kyle and Scotty at cards. Thanksgiving rematches are in order.

Anyway, the Sizemores, who are old family friends of the Barrets, had a lunch date with Scotty and Joyce.  A plane ride came up in conversation over lunch.  Scotty jumped at the idea to take a ride in a bi-plane.  Lucky for us, Kyle and I both got to go for a ride too!  Here are a few pics of the weekend and the trip in the plane.

By the way…it was so amazing.
