the new cleaning lady

hospital day two & time to head home

It seems word got out that our girls like a little bling on their heads :)

Ready to go home!

The new look of the Barta girls

oh happy day

Today we welcomed the newest member to our family.  Little Hadley Grace arrived at 12:36 this afternoon.  She weighed in at 7 lbs 14 oz & is 18.5 inches long.  We are all very taken by the newest little lady in our family!

Hmmm...this photo may say it all for our life for now.  Crazy, but we love it!

season finale

We have had a week filled with lasts.  School finally finished & several of our activities.  And now we are ready to move on to summer!!

Megan's Girl Scout end of the year pool party where Megan bridged up to Juniors.

Megan's 3rd grade recorder concert.  One word-WOW!

(whoever came up with the idea of recorders for kids??? Satan??)

Davis's last day of preschool carnival.  Argh!

The final tball game. Phew!  There were times that I wasn't sure we would ever get through 26 games!!

 

Megan's end of the school year party.  It was a farm theme & yes, those are plastic gloves filled with water.  It was "udderly" fantastic :)

Last day of school picnic & park fun with our friends.

Megan's end of choir party at Sky High, a super fun trampoline place.

(sorry that most of the pics are quite blurry, but well, they were always on the move!!)

teeny tiny

I forget how precious & little newborn sized items are. It is hard to imagine anything ever fits into something so small! 

don't you ever grow up...

Our sweet singing Megs took on her first talent show tonight. This is one of her two acts..the other she sang with her friend, Rylie.  It is hard for a prego mama to not feel emotional...

weekend highlights

Davis the catcher.  I love how the gear is bigger than him!!

We had a bbq to attend so I had the perfect excuse to try making these chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes with brown sugar buttercream frosting.  Yum!

Backyard camping!  The best kind, if you ask me.  No stinky smoke and the bathroom is just right inside...and bug-free :)

disney pixar day

Score!  So Daddy has a connection from work to someone at the Disney Pixar studio.  So on Friday we all played hookie (shhh!) and met Daddy in the city and then headed to the studio in Emeryville.  We got our own personal tour and got to "meet" a lot of the characters.  We also got some inside scoop on the new movie "Brave" that will be released later this month.  What a fab Friday!
