My little Al Bundy

William has a toy that he has loved since he was born. Maybe it the Guy in him or not but I need to always have him in a one piece outfit or this is how I find him.Gotta love them boys!

First Bubble Bath

Williams first bubble bath. He thought it was great! He kept picking up the bubbles and just looking at them. He never did put them in his mouth.

Barnes the Builders

Jared's Cub Scout Pack needed to do there building merit badge so we ended up at Lowe's this morning to make garages. Austin, Josie, Jared, and Anna all got to build them and had fun doing it. I think they had fun all day because Josie and Jared cashed in their donut coupons (which means we had donuts for breakfast) and them I used Subway coupons for lunch. We also searched through Target's toy department for Jared's birthday present. (and things to ask Santa for).

My Girl Scouts

The girls school has a Girl Scout program and I decided to have them participate. Josie is a Junior Girl Scout and Anna is a Daisy Girl Scout. Josie's troop always has fun activities to do and Anna enjoys the extra time to spend with her friends.



Come the end of January you know who to get your cookies from!

Bo or Luke Duke Barnes???

I have decided that I picked the wrong name for William.

This is the new thing he likes to do with his car.He likes to climb on top of the car,
Almost toppling it over a lot of the times.

Most of the time he doesn't use the door.

I think I might have his named changed to Bo or Luke.

Jared's Baptism

Jared's Baptism was held on Saturday, November 7th, 2009 at 2:00 pm. It was wonderful and he was so exited and happy. Lyle went hunting the week before and came home just in time to take a shower and get ready to leave. When we got to the church they did not have the keys to the white clothes or the font. When they finally got the keys we had to wait for the font to fill-up (which takes about 45 minutes). We all headed in the chapel and started the program. Jared said the water was cold.

I'm so happy for my "Little Lyle" and his decision to get baptised. I think he was happy for the attention and the gifts. A member from our ward gave him a blanket that he has wrapped himself in everyday. He was very upset that I wanted to wash it.


Friends and family came over to our house after the baptism and enjoyed baked potatoes, veggies, and yummy Costco cake. All in all it was a great day!

One down, a mouth full to go!

It took ALOT of begging and pleading on my part but Anna finally lost her first tooth. She looks so proud, but she was screaming her head off about 5 minutes before this picture was taken.

The one right next to it is loose but I don't think she will let me near her mouth for a little while.
