Fun on the Farm

Last weekend, we drove to Throckmorton for cousin Karlee's birthday party. I can't believe she is already 8 years old! Matt and I started dating about 6 months prior to her being born, so that kind of puts into perspective how long we've known one another.
Barrett absolutely loves being outside, but playing outside at Meme and Papa Barrett's house is a whole new world. It has to be #1 on his FAVORITE PLACES TO GO list! He's into everything!!!! You remember the water hose episode, right? Well, this time, he was into crawling on all the fences and watching the cows, horses, and his best friend, Dixie (dog). Good times for sure (even though I worried a lot about running into rattle snakes this time of year). This is what having a little boy is all about!!!!
Time to take a drive!!!

Face to face with baby calves!!!

Once he learns to peddle this thing, he can haul the Barbie doll bed for the girls next door!

He loves his wagon, but rather stand up in it or push it lately.


He really likes it when Meme pushes him fast!!!

His best friend, Dixie



And of course...we have to take some souvenirs home with us! (ha ha...Like we really need more rocks!)
All in all, it has been another GREAT week...except for Friday when Barrett had some tummy issues. All is well now, and he is back to normal. Matt was extra nice to stay at home with Barrett. Although B wasn't running fever, we knew he wouldn't want to be at school. In all honesty, I think Matt enjoyed having some one on one time with his son.
We're excited about enjoying this 3 day weekend and spending lots of time together as a family.
The weather has been beautiful lately and I've enjoyed taking Barrett on afternoon stroller rides, along with sitting outside with them. We're thinking about getting him a tricycle soon.
