Last Summer Break of Dental School!

One more year!! It’s kind of hard to believe and I’m already getting sad to move since I really enjoy living in Glendale but Jon is in his fourth year of dental school and we will be moving to a distant land that the Air Force will decide in the next year. We’ll just have to make the most of our time left living the sweet life as students in Glendale.

Lake Pleasant Outing

To celebrate Jon and our friends who are also students finishing another year of school we decided to borrow my parent’s boat and spend a day on the lake. I was a little nervous what with 6 kids going all 2 years old and under. But they did wonderfully and we had such a nice fun day out on the lake with friends. I’d never been to Lake Pleasant before and was pleasantly surprised (no pun intended). The water was much bluer than the lakes that I’m used to out in the east valley. I would have hoped for smoother water but you don’t always get it all.

All the kiddos with their little jackets on. So adorable. I just wish I'd gotten a shot of everyone else on the boat!

California

For the remainder of Jon’s break we took our first family trip with Scarlett to California. It was such a nice trip spending time with friends and family. First stop was in San Diego with Kassidi and Nathan and their kiddos. We had a special treat of spending time with their new little guy Axel before they move up to Sacramento this month (we will miss them but hopefully it will mean a trip to San Francisco to visit them!!)We also were happy to get to visit with Tempestt, Brandon, and Brielle, as well as Christa and Diana. San Diego held so many of friends I’m glad we were able to see them all!

Then we went to Jenny and Jason’s for the later part of the week to see Jason graduation from the Fullerton Police Academy and attend Sierra’s and Whitney’s Princess Birthday party. It’s such a fun time seeing the little girl cousin’s playing together. And Sierra is still in love with Scarlett it’s the cutest thing. We were able to squeeze a day in at Huntington Beach eating Ruby’s and playing some sand volleyball. We also had the pleasure of spending the day with Aaron and Michelle since they were out visiting family as well. I don’t know if we’ve ever had such a successful trip of seeing so many people so smoothing it was great.

Here's a few pictures from the trip completely out of order:
All the cute girl cousins in the Barnes fam.
At Huntington Jason bought Sierra a mermaid kite and she was killing me with her cuteness when she got it and was flying it with Jason, she's quite the diva.
One of our only family shots at Huntington (or ever) I need to work on getting some nicer ones.
Whit and Madd's playing in the sand. These girls are going to be trouble one day they are just so beautiful!
All the supporters at Jason's graduation.
Me trying to get Whit to want to spend time with me by feeding her cupcakes for breakfast!
Scarlett and cutie Axel. It's amazing how quickly you forget about newborn stage, so sweet with his tiny little cry.
We gave Kass a little break so she could catch up on some sleep and took the kids to a park at Mission Bay. It was so nice out and we had a lot of fun. This is Julia's new friend who she wanted in the pic : )
The kids loved snuggling Scarlett
Especially Mason he was so cute with her.
Temp and Brielle over for a BBQ at Kass's. Just realizing I got no picks with Kass and Nate : (

Just a little side note about Scarlett if anyone cares to know, more for my record keeping, but I'm sure you all do care dearly and are so happy I posted it : )

What’s new with Scarlett

Well she is 6month already and has been sitting up on her own very well for the past month or so. My favorite is to sit her up in her crib and see her dark little eyes looking out at me from the top of her crib. She just sprouted two bottom teeth, I believe O and P according to Dentist Daddy, which has been making her slightly moodier (and me when she takes a snap at me) but not too much. Just a few more grunts and a few less smiles these days. She purses her lips to baby food and cereal, but I keep trying. She’s becoming more active wanting to grab at everything. She doesn’t roll much if at all really anymore she’s happy just to sit up which I’m fine with as well. She’s very chatty with lots of yelling getting many visitors at the stores when we’re out shopping. Still such a fun relaxed little girl we just love having around.

6months stats:

Skinny but with brains : )

Head Circ: 17 1/2in 90%

Weight: 14lb 12oz 25%

Height:25 1/2in 40%


First Big Girl Bath! She loved it!
Just so cool with her shades
Poking her head over the crib. (I sat her up first) Also I need suggestion on what color fitted crib sheet to buy. I'm not finding a color I think will work with the bedding.

The end.

Hey, I didn't even know you guys were in town. Looks like you are having a fun summer break. Scarlett is adorable.

What a fun summer it looks like you guys are having! Scarlett is just so beautiful! As far as her fitted sheet goes I would try to find a cream sheet. The rest of her bedding is so colorful I would keep it neutral. A dark cream though, not yellowish
