Silly Times

Anybody that talks to me for even a little while always hears about my "silly sweet" little girl. I don't know if it's a girl thing, a two year old thing, or even a Russell/Barnes thing, but my girl is super silly. She just is. And Reggie's still a little young for his personality to come out, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he is going to be just as silly as she is. Here are some photos recapping the last couple of silly weeks around here. I love the above picture of Mya in her K-State gear looking so silly. She just has to wear the white cap even though it's too small!
And Reggie had to wear his K-State gear too. Isn't our boy getting so big?

This was definitely a silly moment with Aunt Sissy! The kids were all pretending to sleep on their pillows when we celebrated Christmas with Dan's family. Aunt Sissy is too much fun!
Silly Mya with her cousins, "Sidas and Candyn." She loves her cousins so much and loves being close to them. Being squished in a chair with them was just the highlight of her night! I absolutely love the smile I captured!
I love this silly picture of Matt, Reggie, and the rubber mallet. Both Matt and Dan got rubber mallets from their mom. Not sure what to give the man in your life? Try a rubber mallet. It's manly, it's practical, and if nothing else, it's funny!
Don't you just want to squeeze those little cheeks and kiss those little lips? I definitely do, which is why he is one of the most kissed and squeezed little boys ever!
Me, Reggie, and Mya got to meet one of my closest friend's baby boy, Vincent James. He's adorable and I can tell already that he and Reggie are going to be good buddies!
My two silly sweet babies! Mya loves her brother and just hates for him to have to lay alone on the carpet, so she joins him often and just lays her head down next to his and says, "Next to you, Reggie." How precious is that?

Here's another quick silly Mya story: We pray every night together and we ask God to bless people in our lives. She always has a chance to pick who we bless and tonight she went in random order and started with Daddy, Auntie, cousin Jordan, Uncle Matt, and then said Uncle Silas(her cousin) on accident. She stopped and corrected herself, but then went on to say Uncle Grandma Rene, Uncle GG, Uncle Mommy, etc. She thought it was the funniest thing ever and her laugh is infectious so we both giggled for a long time before bed tonight. I'm a sucker for a good giggle; ask my parents. I giggled my way through high school! Life is too serious sometimes and being silly and having a good giggle does wonders for the soul!
