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.
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.
we went to play putt-putt

Kyle, my husband is crazy
look at this plane
Look I got to go too!
This was such a fun weekend. Thank you Joyce and Scotty for making the trip to come and see us. We love you.
Jane has been sitting up for about a month now and I am so proud of her. She is getting ready to be 6 months on the 24th. She is doing so well. Look out Emma here she comes. Check out my baby. She is so big and strong. Go Jane!!
I know most of you checkout our blog to see those two sweet babies that I am honored to call mine, but before you get to see them I’d like you to read my ramblings. Life as a mom has been an up hill, learning experience for me. It has been such a time of relying on the Lord. I know God has carried me through these last 2 years as a mom. God new what the plan was when Kyle and I married – 2 babies in 2 years – and I am so overwhelmed with humble love for that.
We are now entering into toddlerhood with Emma Jean. She brings me to tears with laughter more times than I can count. She’s an example of pure joy. To see her laugh makes me blubber. If I love her this much, how can I even explain God’s love for us.
My sweet baby, Jane Adair. She’s 4 months old and beginning to roll over and sit up on her own. I feel like I’m constantly looking at Kyle made over. She’s fun to sit and watch and just listen to. Miss motor mouth! She talks all the time. We are not sure at what or about what, but she’s a bit of a talker!
God has made my heart so big. It’s funny how much your time gets spread thin but your love and joy increases with more kids. Can anyone say L-U-K-E?! No, were not pregnant but I’ve already got the itch.
Quick question for anyone who can help – I am begining to look into some preschool prep material. I want to get Emma going on some school stuff later this year. Does anyone know of any good books or other resources I should look at to use with her? If you know of anything, please let me know.
For those who’ve not heard yet, the pastor of my home church and his son were killed in a plane crash early Monday morning. The family just received word today because of the difficulty search teams had in getting to the crash site. Please be in prayer for the Pollock family. He and his wife Dawn had 5 other children besides Preston, all under the age of 16. You can read more about the situation at the church’s website or at the Tampa affiliate for CBS.
Kyle and I have had a busy year and 9 months and we are so excited to introduce the newest addition to our clan, Ms Jane Adair. She joined us on March 24th 2008 at 4.17 am, weighing in at 7 lbs 15 oz. For those who do not know that is a day apart from her big sister, Emma Jean, whose birthday is March 25th. Wow, no kidding - fun year. So here are some pictures of our little blessing.
Now that you have met Jane please tell me who she looks like? Do you think our boys might look like there mom?! Such a sweet blessing. Praise God for two healthy girls.
Last night Kyle and I had a chat about our family blog and how inconsistent we’ve been in updating our family and friends with all that’s going on in our lives (We are sorry for that). So, the torch has officially been passed to me. I am still a novice when it comes to the blogosphere, so I may need some extra time to learn how to upload pictures and create a new post.
PS. The offical introduction of our second child, Miss Jane Adair Barrett, will come soon.
Ashley and I are huge fans of the show LOST. I have never been hooked on a show like this before…ever. The acting is great. The story is great. The scenery is great. The show has captured my interest like no other. Yesterday I was working and guess who walks in? Ethan from LOST. His name is William Mapother and he’s actually a Louisville native. I didn’t get to meet him because I found out about his trip to our store after he left the store. Anyways, he plays a character on the show who is part of a group of people that the stranded survivors of Oceanic Flight #815 have affectionately termed “The Others”. If you don’t know the show, The Others are apparently the bad guys. There’s actually alot of debate over this in the blogosphere. It’s probably a good thing I didn’t get to meet him because I probably would have embarassed myself by acting like a middle school girl or by telling him how much I hate The Others.
My good friend Timmy Brister tells a story about his encounter with “The Others”. Please go read it. You’ll be glad you did.
I wanted to let everyone know that I am going to be posting on our college ministry’s website each week. I preach on Wednesday nights at our weekly gathering called The Upper Room. I’m going to use Thursday’s to flesh out the previous nights’ talk. Come join the conversation.
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.
