Sunday Fun...

Just a few random shots of the day...
Jeff got tackled by the little men in the family. They think he is pretty cool.
Cheri entertained the girlies on Breckyn's new guitar.
Chloe and her cutie piggies!
She really loves chocolate-- she's officially a member of the family!

More Holiday Fun...

The newest little cousin finally arrived for some holiday fun and everyone wanted a piece of him...
Chloe welcoming someone just her size...
The twirlies giving the little man some love...
We had to give him his very first super hero-- it's only fitting that it came from the Taylors...
Cam trying to squeeze back into the baby seat...
Even Emerson wanted to hold Rex... although he looks more excited about it than Rex does.We made over 60 cookies and a whole lot of frosting and let everyone design a few to eat. (some turned out better than others-- but all of them tasted pretty good)

We went to Damon's for dinner and it looks like it was too much for Em. He didn't even make it to see the food come. Poor baby!

Chirstmas Day...

Christmas day was lots of eating and playing with all of the new toys. We had a great time at the Barlow house. I think everyone found their inner kid...
Barlow and Timmy rocking out to Guitar Hero.
Cassie and the princess she was finessing everyone with her sweet smiles and waves. What a good mini hostess.
Emerson enjoying Chloe's new toy.
Dad relaxing and loving just being together. Caleb and his new little nerf gun-- geesh! Even the neighbors need to take cover when this gem comes out.


Here are the girlies jamming to some High School Musical.


Guitar Hero isn't just for the big boys people!

Christmas Morning...

Here are a few quick shots of a really fun morning...
The girls and their new puppets (oh the shows that are going to follow).
Emerson was mostly concerned about all of his candy-- he ate almost all of it before we realized what was going on. He loves his Yorks!
Rugby and his "shark car."
Hannah Montana-- I mean Zoey and her new look.
Breckyn got a guitar from Zoey and it's all we've heard ever since.
Emerson got Rugby spy gear and he had a hard time actually handing over the goods.
...but, Rugby got Emerson this pirate ship and he too had a hard time handing over the goods. I think they are going to call it "everyone's stuff" just to be safe.
My big boy with his favorite thing in the world-- flannel! Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Eve...

I just LOVE Christmas. My favorite part is watching all the kids get sooooo excited over each and every present. Tonight we had a great party-- lots of food, kids, presents, and laughing.
Brecky got a cute undie and bra (more like a shortie undershirt) set which she was thrilled over. She talked about it all night. She went straight to her room to put it on.
Chris and his Mariah...
Jodi knit me a scarf-- it wasn't quite done yet. She is too funny!
Chloe was just starting to get into the presents. I think she was more interested in the paper.
Caleb and his new snow board-- YIKES!!!
Max and his true love....
Em and a big boy remote control car...
Zoey and some new jammies (she too went straight to her room to put them on).
Grandma got Rugby his most favorite thing in the whole world-- GUM. This kid will do anything I ask if I promise him gum and now he's got a whole can all to himself-- life is good!

Christmas...

Last night we reenacted the Christmas story and the kids really enjoyed themselves.
The three "wise guys."
Mary and Joseph...
Zoey read a few verses for us...
The whole crowd (which is not an easy feat to manage). Merry Christmas!


Here are the boys singing a sweet sweet song...

Merry Christmas from the Barlows...

I'm taking a little liberty in posting some Christmas love from the Barlows...
... all because two people fell in love...
Maddie and her mommy trying really hard to keep their eyes open for a picture. (both have B.P.D. pretty severely)Chris and his side-kick Max
a little mommy sandwich...
Chloe has learned how to feed herself like a big girl. Yeah Chlo!
Our favorite dog Owen who completes the Barlow family quite nicely. He's so pretty!
Chloe, Maddie, Max and Caleb what a great looking group.
Caleb and Owen (hey, I think Cabs makes that same face when I give him a kiss)
Chloe vs. Spaghetti! (I think the spaghetti won)
Chloe will take your call now... "please hold for my Mommy..."

Tim and Da Boys...

Today Tim starts his Christmas vacation and you'll never guess what he did first...
He took on both of the boys and got them all jazzed up for the day.
I think he's got them right where he wants them...



Listen to the smack talk they've got going on...

Barlow Babysitting...

I got a chance to babysit the Barlows tonight and I had a little fun with it.
I did Owen's hair (yes, he is a boy dog). Hey, you leave your babies with me and they will most likely come back with bows in their hair. It's a risk you have to consider.
I probably should have been concentrating on Ms. Bean's hair instead. She woke up with the craziest nap hair ever! Too cute!
