Our Days in Pictures...

Today I have an update in pictures. I have been taking a bunch of pictures lately, so I will share. A lot of them are of my girl Carly...not trying to play favorites, but she is the cute little one at the Easter event. (and then my camera ran out of batteries) Our week is going much better than planned. Ally is really feeling pretty good....I can tell she is a little down, but not much. I am starting to wonder if she needs blood. She needs it so much that it is always in the back of my mind. But so far, the "warning" has not come true. This sort of holds true to our history of things cropping up on us when we least expect it. (and sometimes not when we DO expect it) Thanks for thinking of us, and here is what the Barnetts have been doing.

Carly girl got her first (very first) haircut. I can't believe she is a few months shy of three years old when she got it, but its true. I didn't want anyone to take my baby's ringlet curls away. Phew, they are still here even after the haircut.

She kept calling it her "Princess Haircut" and it took place in Mrs Booher's kitchen by Mrs. Booher's hairstylist. Carly ran home and quickly put on a princess dress when she was done. Check out the fancy hair style.

We went to an Easter party in our neighborhood. Here is the princess again with her Daddy.

Carly was not fond of the bunny and is MIA.

However, she was quite shocked and happy to find candy in the eggs.

The big girls always take care of little Car-Car.

Her brother was pretty sweet watching her find eggs too.

And she loves cupcake frosting...I luva her face

Last Friday it was hat day at school. If students pay 50 cents, they can wear a hat with money going to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. A lot of kids wear Ally's Army t-shirts too. Have I mentioned that I love Ally's school????
Last but not least, one of the coolest ideas....EVER. My college roommates from Miami wanted to treat Ally to something fun. They were so inventive. They hired a caricaturist to come to our house and draw pictures of her and her friends. The kids absolutely loved it. I thought they would like it, but they stood by the artist almost the whole hour watching him. They LOVED it. And they each went home with a customized drawing of themselves doing one of their hobbies, etc. Just very cool! Thank you Alli, Kelly, Jenny, Lisa, and Kate. I love you guys for thinking of us!

Seeeee.. They were so fascinated and giggly about it. FUN STUFF.

This is Ally's. If you knew my Mom, you will see that this is almost an exact replica of my mother. Wow. Of course she chose to be painting nails.

Princess Carly Anne...

and Evan...playing the Wii.

We did get a picture of Jerad and I too. Some people that were here can attest to my thought that he looks sort of like a prisoner in our drawing. Too scary for the blog.

It is supposed to be over 70 degrees for the next five days so I am hoping we can enjoy the nature of spring. Trying to plan a bike ride/picnic and a nature walk if our girl is up for it. We shall see.

Thanks for checking in!
