Child labor

Causey really wanted to go outside, it was too cold for her to go, but i didnt feel like a fight. So i put her to work.........
She really did have fun

"Ok, I'm finished"

Henry's Baptism

The proud daddy, and also "dr. henry" to Causey who gets drug over there to have him check her ears.............usually for a bottle of wine as payment

William Henry Barber, beautiful

Nope, think I'm good as the only child

Mrs. Mandy has orange juice!

How sweet are these girls!

So cool



I love this family! David and Henry have been friends since college and we all lived together in the fabulous'ness that is Married Student housing at UMC. Hayden and Causey were due on the same day, but as usual Causey took her time and was a week late! We loved being included in this special day and it meant the world to us to see this little boy baptised!

The paci fairy

So, we finally took the paci away, about a year and half overdue. We enlisted the help of the paci fairy. One day while Causey was at Mother's Morning Out she came with gifts and decorations! The good thing about waiting too long to take the paci away was that she could reason and was told "that she was a big girl, paci's are for babies and that the fairy would take her paci's to new babies who needed them." She seemed OK with it, but bedtime was quickly approaching.........it was fine, she asked for it after i put her down, then that was it! It is so nice to not have one more step in our day!

A day at the zoo

Looking at the "ba-raffs"

Snack time

Brittney and Beckett came up because Derek had to work so we took the kids to the zoo!

They had so much fun, hope these two like each other because they are going to spend a lot of time together over the years!!

Amy and William's wedding weekend

The after after party, very exclusive...........
I love everything about the Blue's Bar, including the fact that after i had left David put and extra 40 on our tab and gave the cash to the lead singer cause he felt "sorry" for him, he felt sorry the next day when i found out. Honestly he can not be left alone!

I was very impressed with my baby daddy's pool sharking abilities...never seen him in action, should of had some money on the game!

We had such a fun weekend! Congrats to the happy couple!

Dancing fool

Dancing with her daddy
hhhmmm...who else can i make come dance with me?

So sweet Amy asked if Causey would be the flower girl, we said sure and got a spiffy new dress made. Well during rehearsal she would have nothing to do with walking down the aisle. So what does any self respecting mother do......high tail it to the nearest toy store and buy bribes. So she new if she went down the aisle she would get a new toy. My mom had her in the back and when the time came, she saw me at the end of the aisle and took off. Well, she got about 5 feet in front of me and decided she wanted to go back up the aisle, i thought i could catch her....it was not good. We both ended up back at the top...it was awful. Amy was so sweet about it....not too funny for the mother who just paraded up the aisle, honestly i would have worn a cuter dress had i known!!!

A really long 10 days.....

She did this a lot
like all the time

And slept a lot.....after a couple of rough nights

Was just, in general, in a really really really BAD mood!

My poor baby had her tonsils and adenoids out and her ears re-tubed.

It was a long day and an even longer recovery....she felt bad all the time and couldn't take the "milk of the gods" Tylenol with codeine...because it made her crazy..not a little off, like off her rocker crazy, all hyped up and just crazy!!! She went through bottles and bottles of Tylenol and Motrin, her poor little liver!
