So Mya and I got our teeth cleaned. No big deal for me obviously, but such a big deal for my baby girl who seems to be growing up so quickly these days. She was such a good patient. I didn't have any doubts that she would be. </div>

Such a big smile from such a big girl. She was so proud of herself. She kept saying, "I did such a good job, Mommy." Yes, you did, baby girl. Another milestone crossed off the list.

We only got each kid three presents for several reasons. We know they'll get spoiled by our families for one, they already have so many toys to play with, and we feel that if three presents was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for us. The kids loved what they got!<br />

And I got to see my best friend Lindsey. We've been friends for about 24 years now. Crazy. We talk all the time on the phone so it's nice to get to see her in person every once in a while. I love my friend. <br />

We are so blessed to have family and friends to spend the holidays with. In a world of things, things, things, I often forget it's really about the people. I love my people. :) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!the barnes familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753878356769650200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427468155495621653.post-52853113408733842712012-12-13T16:21:00.001-06:002012-12-14T10:45:09.720-06:00Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This year we bought a real tree with the kids, which we haven't done since Dan and I's first year of marriage. It was nice. It would have been better if there was snow on the ground. It would have made it feel more like Christmas. Anyway...</div>

Here's my beautiful family riding on the tractor to go out to the tree field. We've gone to the same orchard for two years now to pick pumpkins and we decided to try out the same place to get a tree as well. It was nice. The trees were huge.<br />

Well, we're all geared up for the Christmas traveling craziness. I'm excited to have a week off work for the first time in... ever. We're going to spend lots of time with family and just enjoy the season of our Lord's birth. We've really been trying to instill in our children that Christmas is not about presents, but about Jesus and family and the many ways we are extremely blessed. And we are so blessed. the barnes familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753878356769650200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427468155495621653.post-86929943693427908162012-11-28T13:21:00.000-06:002012-11-28T13:21:12.791-06:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you don't like to look at adorable pictures of my kids, then this post is not for you. This is a picture overload of my babies. Mya had her 4th birthday and we celebrated for a week straight. Yes, it really was a week. She had a great time celebrating every day. </div>

Here's Mommy with both her babies. I love those kiddos so much. Mya loves to do everything with her brother. She's always asking Reggie to play with her, build a tower, color, or just sit and watch a movie with her. It's adorable how much she loves him.<br />

Mommy and Daddy bought Mya a leappad for her birthday and she was pretty excited. She figured out how to play it right away because she's so smart. And she is really into picking out her own clothes right now which is why she doesn't match. I let her because life's too short to match all the time, right?<br />

Mya, every year, you grow and change, but there are a few things that stay the same. You are beautiful, smart, funny, and so silly. You are independent and can be strong willed at times, but I pray that God will use that to benefit you and others around you. And, you are always my little baby girl, even if you constantly remind me that you are a big girl now. Yes, you are big. Some days too big, but other days when you just need snuggles with Mommy, I'm thankful that you are still my little baby. Thank you for making me a mommy four years ago and for blessing me so incredibly by your little life. You are amazing.

Well, it's November and it's almost my baby girl's 4th birthday. She's going to have a friend birthday party this weekend, her first one, and she is so excited to have fun with her little friends. I can't wait to share these memories with her when she gets older and tell her what a fun little girl she was! Here are a few pics of our November so far!</div>

Mya hardly naps anymore. She hasn't since she was 2, really, but occasionally, she will still snooze a little. She had taken a nap this day and was so cute with her messy hair and her sleepy eyes. I just think she's the prettiest little girl ever!<br />

Mya took this picture of me and my little man. And this is how you can find Reggie most days: with his woobie and his fingers in his mouth. They go hand in hand, fingers and woobie. No woobie, no fingers. He's so cute.<br />

Here's how you can find my two little ones right before nap time. Mya loves to read to her brother. She gently tells him to sit down and get ready for story time and then she reads to him like I would read to her and the other daycare kids. I love it so much! She is such a leader and he is such a sweet boy that he tolerates his sister bossing him so well. They are quite the pair. Up next: Mya's big day. There might be a few tears reminiscing about my tiny bundle.

Reggie, you are a calm, even tempered little boy. You loved opening presents but you always allowed Sissy to help when she felt you needed it. We love that about you.<br />

You love watching movies and can sit through a whole movie even at your young age. You love Toy Story 1, 2, and 3 the best. You have an amazing memory and can recite (in your baby garble) a lot of the lines!<br />

You are a quick learner and have already mastered how to hold up two fingers to proudly show your age. You get a little confused sometimes, as seen in the picture above, but you really do know how to do it. <br />

Mommy and Daddy love you so much and we really wanted to spoil you on your birthday. Being the second child, you haven't got a lot of new things in your short life, so we bought you your very own brand new train table. You love it and we love that we could make you so happy. <br />

Mya's been growing too this week. Seriously, doesn't she look so big. Tear. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
While eating a popsicle, she looks at me and says, "I tooked a bite of my popsicle with my sensitive teeth!"<br />
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.<br />
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. <br />
Hope you are all enjoying the last weeks of hot weather and learning and growing as you go like we are. :)the barnes familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753878356769650200noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427468155495621653.post-11134590332081664482012-08-25T17:43:00.003-05:002012-08-25T17:43:45.047-05:00Is the summer really gone?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
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. </div>

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. :)<br />

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.) </div>

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. </div>

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.<br />

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. </div>

Ten years of friendship, seven years of marriage, two beautiful kids, and six moves later, we're still going strong. Thanks to all our family and to our friends for all the support in our marriage and our lives. Marriage is such an amazing journey but it is hard work and we wouldn't have made it this far without all of your prayers and love and much much more. Thanks. And thanks babe for putting up with me for this long. I hope you'll keep me around for many many more years! ;)the barnes familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753878356769650200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427468155495621653.post-37891786479124709312012-07-17T06:45:00.001-05:002012-07-17T06:45:19.943-05:00The 4th and other festivities<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a while since I posted and I don't really have an excuse, but here are some cool pictures of the fam from the fourth of July and then a couple extras.</div>

Doing sparklers for the first time. I saw a quote that said "Fourth of July equals small children playing with fire." So true and so funny. Our small children were very careful with their "fire."</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Reggie tried sparklers too with mom's help. He enjoyed it. Both our kids were not fans of the loud fireworks this year so we did small things and that was ok. There's always next year.</div>

We went to the Troy, KS parade again this year and loved it. They really put on a kid friendly little show. It was very very hot so we brought a squirt bottle but as you can see by their red faces, it didn't really help.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And last year I got a great picture of Mya standing in the brick street so I just had to get one of Reggie too. I love that there's a green tractor driving by too. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the reasons the parade is such a hit is because they throw out an enormous amount of candy. The kids loved collecting it.</div>

And here's my little monkey. Mya never would have noticed a ladder to climb when she was Reggie's age. She would have walked right by it without a care, but this monkey spots it and wants to climb it immediately. Boys.

We went to the Omaha Zoo one morning and it was so much fun. The kids loved it and were really well behaved, which makes everything better! This pic and the one below are of us in the aquarium. It was so cool, but very crowded.<br />

This is what Reggie looked like about a minute after we left the zoo. I guess it wore him out.<br />

The Friday of my vacation week, Dan, his dad, his brother, and his friend Cody were all playing in a golf tournament so we got to go spend some time in Topeka. The kids got to play with their cousins and Dan had a good time golfing.<br />

Reggie was the life of the party at one time because all the kids loved that he would hug on command. He's a hugger, just like Mya was at that age. Gotta love it. And I just love this picture of Camdyn, such a beautiful girl.<br />

And this last one if of Dan and his kids on Father's Day. Oddly, this is the best picture we got of him and his babies, but it's sort of appropriate. He's the kind of Dad that just loves to get down and play with his kids. I'm blessed to have an amazing man I call my best friend and husband and he just happens to be the best Dad to our beautiful kids. They adore him and so do I. Happy Father's Day, babe! And happy late father's day to all the other amazing dads out there! Now, back to work for me!

Reggie used to hate hats, and to be fair, he doesn't really like them right now, but he has a weird obsession with wanting me to put them on him and then he takes them off about five minutes later. But it's a start at least. His fair little head needs some protection so I'll take every five minutes I can get.<br />

I feel like I've been waiting for May since last November. Even though we had such a mild winter, there's still just nothing like a nice warm rain. So here are a few photos of us enjoying our nice warm days. A few of them might be from April, but oh well. Also, I am loving that I can upload more than five photos at a time and it goes so much faster. So you'll be getting more and more photos on here now!</div>

I was trying to get some cute pics of the kids and after about 500 takes, this is the best I got. Why is it so hard to look at the camera and smile at the same time?!<br />

Finally it seems like we have had some free time with nothing going on. And it looks as though it might be like this for the next month and we're not complaining. So for the next month there will probably be just random pictures of the most adorable people in my family. No, not me and Dan, because I'm sure that's who you were thinking of. :)</div>

Mya actually took this picture. She does a pretty good job most of the time. Notice his shiny bruised forehead? He hit his head on a Friday, a Saturday, and a Sunday, all in the same weekend. It's been almost two weeks and he still has it. He did that when he was six months old too and it lasted forever that time too. Poor kid.<br />

Dan took this one when him and Mya were playing hide and seek. They play that game almost every day when Dan gets home from work. He's such a good daddy. This was her special hiding spot this day and she hid there about five times more after the first time. So silly.<br />

Mya and Reggie finally getting to jump on the mini trampoline that our swing set came with. Can you tell how excited they are?<br />

These last pics are from spending Saturday with Dan's family in Topeka celebrating Easter. It was great just to hang out and spend some quality time with everyone. Here are the boys looking at something. Not sure what, but I just loved the pic of the three of them in the green grass.<br />

Mya got a little lesson in baseball. She loved it so I'm thinking that might be our next summer purchase is a bat and ball.<br />

Reggie devouring his candy. He would get an egg, open it, eat the candy, then on to the next egg.... such a funny boy.<br />

And Mya loved the Easter egg hunt. She was in heaven finding all the eggs. Overall, we had a great time celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. Even with all the candy, eggs, and frills, we didn't forget to celebrate the real reason for the special day. <br />

I love this picture and hate it at the same time because he doesn't look like a baby... he looks like a big boy. Stop growing Reggie, stop it now!<br />

Reggie has started a new tradition at our house. When daddy gets home, if we're outside, which is most days, he hops in the car with daddy and gets to drive into the garage. It's really cute, so now Mya usually wants in on the action too. <br />

And sometimes Dan lets them play in the car for a little while. Obviously Reggie loved it because he could not stop smiling. Sweet kid.<br />

And last, I told Reggie to say cheese and this is the smile I got. I could not stop laughing. I haven't got him to do it again, so I'm glad I got it on camera. Anyway, Reggie is a good boy, full of smiles and giggles and a few tantrums here and there. He loves saying "uh oh" and "dada" which he calls me and dan, even though he can say "mama." Oh well. He loves to dance and spin around. And he loves being together as a family. His little face lights up when we're all hanging out together. Love that kiddo.the barnes familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753878356769650200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427468155495621653.post-89780537851774468182012-03-21T12:28:00.002-05:002012-03-21T12:28:37.232-05:00Mya loves Jim Croce<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mya has been listening to a little Jim Croce with me lately and there are a few songs she has really taken to and even memorized. The video is a little long and please excuse her messy hair, but the end is where she sings all by herself, so hang in there, it's pretty cute. :)</div>

As you can tell, she really loved it!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixeeWjPFhLhZdt6XHKr8fuT6wtZqWaOisAXd0SrNHhLeKxLXVSCk2z308vYvEfO7NGHdzfCpS5obj86pG5jg78t0fBTijWwpDmkKlui8KpN3iPAImTVaZLVupIHT6LpMWp7NBd3IHYpUXo/s1600/100_1040.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixeeWjPFhLhZdt6XHKr8fuT6wtZqWaOisAXd0SrNHhLeKxLXVSCk2z308vYvEfO7NGHdzfCpS5obj86pG5jg78t0fBTijWwpDmkKlui8KpN3iPAImTVaZLVupIHT6LpMWp7NBd3IHYpUXo/s320/100_1040.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693210723647038450" /></a>And this last picture is of my babies looking at the lights at Krug Park in St. Joe. Both kids thoroughly enjoyed it. We brought popcorn and candycanes for the family outing and we had a great time. We took the kids last year as well so I think it's going to be a new family tradition. Well, that's it for now.
