Barrett and his class had special cupcakes today for birthday! The kids were so excited...and I'm sure his teachers were too (having all those little ones hyped up on sugar)!!!
After school, we came home to get ready for swimming lessons, then gave Barrett the choice of deciding where which restaurant he wanted to go to for his birthday dinner.
His final decision (toss up between Firehouse Subs and Mooyah)...was MOOYAH!!!! Yummy!
Then, it was back home to open a couple of presents from Matt and I.
Great time and great celebration.
We still have a part 3 to Barrett's birthday too! Tomorrow is dinner with Gramsey and Papa at the Magic Time Machine.
Wow! Four years ago, I was blessed with an amazing gift from God. I truly believe with all my heart that our children are given to us in hopes that we learn from them, mold them into Christians, and love them unconditionally.
People always told me that when you have a child, you develope a whole new meaning of love. It's true. There is no love like that of mother to her child. It is effortless, genuine, true, and one of a kind.
I am so in love with my son, and thank God for such a special, special, gift.
Barrett you are happy, kind, helpful, lovable, energetic, spunky, tender-hearted, and have an imagination that is out of this world. I love watching you play. I could sit for hours and just watch you...just like I did when you were an infant.
Your latest...
- You and your daddy have a nightly ritual of playing Lions and Bears. I'll have to get a picture or video of this event for your memory (although I know you will never forget).
- You're so excited about baby Mallory! I know you're going to be a great big brother. You've already been so helpful, and each day taking steps towards being more independent.
- You love dinosaurs, riding your bike, playing outdoors, swimming, watching "your shows", playing with HotWheels, and so much more.
- You're great about keeping yourself entertained...and not having someone else do it for you. You definately have a mind of your own.
- You smile ALL the time!!!! I think you have my smile (or at least that is what everyone says).
- We play "Guess what I am" every night before we go to bed! You're very good at this game.
- You're currently going through the Band-aid phase. You think you need a bandaid for every little cut.
- You'll take cold baths. It's crazy! The colder...the better.
We had a pre-party for Barrett this weekend in Throckmorton with Karlee, Kelsey, Meme and Papa Barrett, Aunt Brandi and Uncle Corey!
Kelsey's birthday falls on the 12th of May and Barrett's is the 15th.
Every year, they celebrate together! I think it is the sweetest thing!!! Kesley is great! She certainly doesn't mind sharing.
We also had a fabulous day in Graham (pre-party there as well) as we were able to see Barrett's KK, Meme, and Grandad.
GREAT start to Barrett's 4th Birthday!!!
We recieved so many wonderful gifts...fishing pole, tackle box, bear claws for digging in the dirt/sand, clothes, pjs, a western belt, dinosaurs, a gigantic bubble blower, and shoes.
Lots of fun this Friday night at the Allen Watters Creek area. We sat on our blanket stretched out in front of a beautiful creek, with live music in the background. Very relaxing and lots of children for Barrett to mingle with.
At one point in the evening, I did see him leaning very far into the creek (way over). Matt called him over to the area we were sitting, and I noticed that he was his arms were completely soaked...along with the red bill of his hat!!!! Crazy kid! I'm just happy he didn't jump in and decide to take a swim!!!
I definitely had to frame this art work of Barrett's (at three years old). The Barner Family!!!!
