That's for sure!

We have been really enjoying the last couple of weeks.  

 We've been playing in the rain!

 We've been growing and getting too big!

 We've been filling jewel jars because we're being such a good girl. (That's our reward system for Mya)

 We sent Daddy off to work to go teach some kids a few things.  Didn't get a great picture the first time.

 So we tried again...oh well.  The hubby sure does look handsome though.

 We've been using our little brains to be so creative with every day household items.  So cute.

 We met baby Jackson Juhl who is going to come to our house to play starting in October.  So excited.

 And we just went to Daddy's first middle school football game last night.  They have a playground at the football field so the kids got to play after sitting so good during the game.

Mya's been growing too this week.  Seriously, doesn't she look so big.  Tear.

I was journaling some funny Mya things last night so I don't ever forget her funny sayings and I thought I might share a few with you.
While eating a popsicle, she looks at me and says, "I tooked a bite of my popsicle with my sensitive teeth!"
 And when Reggie took a bite of his popsicle, I said, "I guess Reggie doesn't have sensitive teeth like you." And she responds, "That's for sure!"  So funny.
Last, when we were driving home from the football game, I asked her if she missed our old house. She said, "No" right away, but then she pauses and says, "I don't need two houses, Mommy."  So wise.  Love that little girl more than she'll ever know.
Hope you are all enjoying the last weeks of hot weather and learning and growing as you go like we are.  :)

Is the summer really gone?

I love me some summer sun... but with the weather we've been having lately, I am guessing those days are over.  I know one little girl who will be in heaven when she starts to feel some colder weather... it's not me!  It's Mya.  

 As cute as she is in this picture, soaking up some rays, she asks everyday for when it's going to be cold.  She is desperate for cold weather so she can wear her winter pajamas, play in the snow, make snowballs, and drink hot chocolate.  She's so weird.  :)

 This little guy is also weird.  Yes, he is climbing out of the doggy door at my parent's house.  Love it.

 I just love this picture of my parent's and the kiddos just hanging out.  They love their mima and papa  j.

 I just love this picture of Mya and Silas at Silas' birthday party.  They are the cutest little cousins.

 "Go away Mom!"

 Daddy is the best horsie around here.  Both kids will tell you this.

 They just love playing with Daddy.

And here is my little bunny.  Reggie has been loving dressing up as a bunny lately.  He brings me the costume and wants it on.  He only will wear it for about five minutes before he comes to me saying, "Oss"(that's off for those of you who don't speak Reggie.)  

Anyway, whether it's summer or winter, we always have lots of fun around here.  Stay tuned for more Barnes family fun.  We'll be going to the first K-State football game  and then going to Branson soon so we should have some good pics from all of that.   

Oh do we have fun

Last weekend I loaded the kids up to go to Abilene for a weekend full of fun.  We had a garage sale at my parents house, a wedding, and the Central Kansas Free Fair. (Yee-haw!)  It was a busy weekend but soooooo much fun!  Here are a few pics. 

 A boy and his dog.  Ok, it's my parents dog, but I'm pretty sure he loves it like his own.

 A boy and his papa on a tractor.  Love these two.

 And don't forget a girl and her papa on a tractor.  Can't leave out the girls!  They both loved riding the tractor with papa J.

 And the fair was a hit with Mya.  She loved riding the motorcyle ride, the helicopter, the carousel, and the ferris wheel.  She has never been so adventurous before, but it seems to suit her.

I just love this picture of her and Mima on the ferris wheel.  It was hard to watch my tiny little girl get on that big ride but she was so brave and loved every minute of it.  And it really is such a cool picture. 

And I just had to throw this picture in here because it's so cute.  And really, what little girl isn't a princess, right?  Love her.
