HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween with all the Cousins on the Barnes side! The Ladybug all the way left of the picture is my Halle, next to her is my little Butterfly Haven and next to her is the Twillerbee Thumberlina which is my Hope!

The Ladybug, The Butterfly, The Bear, The Twillerbee Thumbelina, The Flower, The Bee and Princess Cinderella!


The theme this year for my girls were INSECTS... wait I don't think Thumbelina is an insect (Hope says she's a Twillerbee, which I'm not sure what that is, but it has bee in it and that's close enough!), so we will say our theme was we all had "wings"!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HOPE... THIS MONTH WAS FILLED WITH A BUNCH OF 1STS

MY LITTLE HOPE'S BIRTHDAY IS TODAY AUGUST 31, 2009... SHE IS NOW MY BIG 6 YEAR OLD! SHE HAS NOW LOST HER 1ST TOOTH LAST THURSDAY AND STARTS HER 1ST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN TOMORROW MORNING! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO PREPARE MYSELF FOR THIS BIG DAY, AND KNOW MATTER WHAT IT'S REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN... SHE'S GOING TO BE LEAVING ME AND GROWING UP... I WON'T BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT'S SHE UP TO AT ALL TIMES ANYMORE! TOMORROW I'LL TAKE HER TO HER FIRST DAY AND PICK HER UP... THEN WE WILL TRY THE BUS THE NEXT DAY, WHICH PICKS UP RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE (WE WILL FOLLOW THE 1ST TIME ON THE BUS TO SEE THE ROUTINE OF HOW THEY DO IT)! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOPE WE LOVE YOU AND THANKS FOR BEING SUCH A GOOD DAUGHTER AND SISSY!

OUR 1ST BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT THAT WAS ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 18TH.




THE GIRLS ON THE WAY TO MY COUSIN ROB'S WEDDING RECEPTION.


MINUTES AFTER HOPE LOST HER FIRST TOOTH... BOTTOM FRONT, SHE'S A LITTLE DEVASTATED ABOUT THE WHOLE ORDEAL!


JUST GOT DONE WITH OUR 1ST MEETING WITH HOPE'S NEW TEACHER MRS. ZIEGLER... AND SHE'S HOLDING HER 1ST HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT!


THE TOOTH FAIRY CAME AND BROUGHT AND I QUOTE FROM HOPE "A GOLDEN MONEY"! WHICH IS A GOLD DOLLAR COIN. SHE CRIED WHEN SHE PUT THE TOOTH UNDER HER PILLOW THE NIGHT BEFORE, BUT WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THE COIN THE NEXT MORNING! ALSO, SHE WAS SO EXCITED OF THE THOUGHT THAT THE TOOTH FAIRY CAME AND TOUCHED HER PILLOW!!

NEXT WAS TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS...

Scooby Doo and Shaggy.


Curious George of course.


Larger than life Dora.

TY'S HOME

MY BROTHER TY FINISHED HIS 2 YEAR MISSION IN GUATEMALA ON MAY 4TH, THINGS HAVE BEEN SO CRAZY SINCE THEN THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO POST ABOUT IT. I STILL DON'T HAVE MY PICTURES FROM HIS ARRIVAL ON THE COMPUTER YET, BUT WANTED TO MENTION THAT I'M SO HAPPY HE IS HOME AND THAT HE NOW GETS TO START ANOTHER IMPORTANT CHAPTER IN HIS LIFE. I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE WHAT'S TO COME! OUR FAMILY FILLS ALMOST COMPLETE NOW... JUST MISSING MY BROTHER DUSSY WHO IS ALMOST DONE WITH HIS MISSION IN WEST VIRGINIA. CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS WHEN WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER... HOW COOL THAT WILL BE! JUST WANTED THE FEW READERS OUT THERE TO KNOW, THAT I'LL POST SOME PICTURES WHEN I GET THEM DOWNLOADED ON MY COMPUTER... UNTIL THEN ADIOS AMIGOS!

CONGRATS JARED AND LEANN

JARED AND LEANN HAD THEIR LITTLE BABY GIRL AYDRI BARNES ON SATURDAY APRIL 18,2009 IT WAS SO FUN TO BE ABLE TO GO SEE HER REAL QUICK AT THE HOSPITAL! HOPE AND HALLE LOVED BEING ABLE TO WATCH THROUGH THE NURSERY WINDOW WITH KENDI. I GOT SOME GREAT PICTURES AND VIDEO RECORDING FOR YOU GUYS. WE WILL HAVE TO PUT IT ON A DVD FOR YOU! KENDI'S REACTION WAS PRICELESS TO SEEING HER DADDY IN THE HALLWAY AND HER BABY SISTER IN THE NURSERY WINDOW! I WAS SO GRATEFUL OUR FAMILY WAS ABLE TO BE PART!






KENDI SAID AS SHE CAME OUT AFTER SEEING HER BABY SISTER FOR THE FIRST TIME "SHE HAD TINY TOES, SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES!" IT WAS REALLY CUTE.
