The Barton Clan!



While Jason has been gone this week, I decided to brave a trip to Chattanooga with the boys for a couple of days to see his brother's family.  They just moved to the Chattanooga area a few months ago from Missouri so you can imagine how excited we are to have family so close by!  We have waited a long time!!!  Mimi (jason's mom) was babysitting the kids for the week so I guess we only saw half of the family.  Anyway, we left after school on Thursday and came back on Friday evening so that we wouldn't miss Jake's soccer game on Saturday.  The boys had a blast playing with their cousins...Hayden (almost 8yrs), Britt (5yrs.), and Brock (2 yrs.), and I enjoyed having a little break.  The highlight of the trip, well what was suppose to be the highlight, was fishing in their pond.  The boys loved the fishing part, but were not so keen on Hoops (the dog).  For those of you who don't know us, Jake is TERRIFIED of animals!  It is the craziest thing that you have ever seen.  You would think that we threw him in to a bull pen when he was a baby or something.  This will explain the funny look on his face in the pic with the fishing pole in his hand.  He is trying to watch Hoops out of the corner of his teary eye!  You just want to laugh, cry, and scream all at the same time when he freaks out around animals!  I keep telling Jase that we are going to end up in a counselors office by the end of all of it! HA!  We did have a great trip though.  They absolutely LOVE their Mimi and their cousins so it was well worth "the experience"!

your boys are so precious! hope all is going well. things are going good here. Babywise is going well - i am taking some from the book and making some my own. trying to stick to the schedule as much as i can (but being flexible too - we are too "on the go" to be on a strict schedule). I think it's helping her sleep better at night. She's been averaging about 5 1/2 hr stretch and then about a 3 1/2 hr one. i think that's pretty good for almost 5 weeks, what do you think? we go to the doc on wed for our 1 mo check up!
