Been busy like always around here. We have had a great few weeks. We have been enjoying the nice weather! I go back to work on Wednesday, so I have been soaking in all this fun time with my babies, and I am already counting down the days until summer...Caroline is three months old tomorrow. Time has gone by really fast. She is a sweet little MAMA'S girl! She is one spoiled baby.. She makes everyone work to keep her happy!! She has become a great sleeper at night which makes a happy mama! Her smile is just precious.
The ZOO! Brian, Mary, PawPaw and my gang went to the Zoo. It was a perfect day, and the kids had a great time. Corbin and Claire saw the zoo from Brian and PawPaws shoulders...
and princess Caroline saw the zoo from the stroller and our arms.

This particular day I decided the girls needed to show some Aggie spirit. No matter what school they end up going to, you won't be able to say I didn't try to brainwash them to go to A&M. They looked super cute... I love buying matching outfits for the girls. One of the many pluses of having girls close in age. I would try to coordinate Corbin too, but that would mean not wearing Batman, Spiderman or one of the many other action heroes.

Corbin and Claire were watching a movie in his bed...

Last week I took the kids to a fun play place with a fun jumpy thing. They had a great time!
My sweet baby that I just love so much. I could just kiss this face alllllllll day!
My two favorite boys in the world.
We went to the beach for the first part of Easter weekend. The cousins all went to the Easter egg hunt there. Here is how Caroline did the Easter egg hunt... asleep in Pa's arms.
Caroline and Shelby! Caroline is catching up!
June. Corbin. Claire and Sophie after the hunt.
Crafty Aunt Natalie brought these fun bunnies for the kids to decorate. They thought it was so fun, and they turned out so cute. So fun that the kids have an art teacher for an aunt.
Corbin went out on Uncle Jon's boat. He LOVED it. They went and got some shrimp at the marina to fish with. Corbin loved telling me about how fast they went!
Aunt Margie fished with Corbin. He caught on fast. He is not quite patient enough to be a successful fisherman, but he still loves it.
Bubble time with Paw Paw at the Barrow's Easter.
Corbin having fun!
So cute. I love this pic Chris got of my girl. He said she was actually trying to avoid getting her picture taken, and this is the picture he got. She is such a handful.
Corbin and Claire were messing with Nana and Paw Paws decorations...
My family. I love them all so much. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family. I would say I am one lucky lady.

Fun Day!

I thought it would be super fun to rent a bounce house for the day, just for grins and giggles. I called about a million bounce house places to find the best deal. Since I did it on such short notice this super nice man gave me a great deal on the birthday cake bouncer... Was it a birthday party... no... but it was still a PARTY!!!!!!!!! The weather was PERFECT! The kids had such a great time, and so did all the moms! Thank you Kelly for these precious pics!
Corbin got hot after all of his jumping.. he thought his b-day suit would be appropriate for the b-day jumper... Luckily he only took his shirt off...
having fun... the kids were outside jumping and playing from 10 this morning until about 7 tonight... I am hoping they sleep in tomorrow.. I already know Claire is going to be mad when she wakes up to no more jumpy.
She had such a great day!
My two girls earlier this week
I love this picture... Look just how different my baby girls look! They might look different, but I am quickly finding out they have similar personalities.. PRINCESS, DEMANDING, BOSSY!

Claire, June and Garrett! They had so much fun together!

Sweet little Caroline.. She slept through a lot of the action today! Next spring break we will have to do this again! Shelby and Caroline will be able to jump all around with the big kids next year! Today was so much fun! As a mom there is nothing better than watching your kids have fun...

Catching up!

It was a fun week here at the Barrow house. We really enjoyed the nice weather, and being outside! Baby Caroline had her 2 month appointment. She weighs 8 pounds and 14 ounces. She got 2 shots, and all I can say is she cried hard! She ran a little fever and was super cranky the rest of the day, but with the help of tylenol all was well. She is still the most cuddly little shrimp. I could kiss her face all day. She is FINALLY growing into some of her clothes, she has had dresses and bows on the last two days! PRECIOUS! I think we have finally found a formula that she approves of...thank goodness...
Last weekend we went to the beach again. It was still pretty cold out there. The kids had fun, but I am looking forward to going once the hot weather is here.
Paw Paw and Caroline
Uncle Brian sent the girls a super cute rocking chair. It came in a HUGE box with lots of packing peanuts. The kids dumped out the box and played with them all afternoon. It was a huge mess! Surprisingly Chris and the mess makers were able to clean it up pretty quickly.
On the way to the doctor!
She smiles the most precious, huge gummer smiles. I spend all day trying to get her to smile at me.
Love her!
Corbin was trying to entertain his baby sister. Look how Corbin still has his "watch" on. He has had it on since the day she was born, over 9 weeks!
My big man loves Spiderman. I saw this at Target, he has worn it everyday since I got it for him. He really only likes to wear his character t-shirts. Batman, Spiderman, Transformers, or what he calls all the guys...
Soph came over today and the kids had a really fun day. We went to the park and had lunch there. The kids had the most fun in the sand. Celine is not a big fan of the sand, so I made sure Soph got in it! She pretty much though it was the most fun thing ever. The kids were filthy dirty when we left, but had a great time! I love this weather!

we have a puker!

Little Caroline Louise is now 8 weeks old! She weighs 8 pounds and 7 ounces! She also likes to projectile puke. She has decided it would be fun to develop an allergy to her formula at 8 weeks old. She has been getting a little formula each day since she was born, and just now decided she doesn't like it. She drinks a few sips then pukes it right back up. I took her to the doctor today and we are going to try something new. Other than that she is just as precious and snuggly as ever. I basically kiss her face off all day long, she likes it. she is just starting to "coo" and it is really cute. I love this baby so much.
This picture makes me laugh. Bottom line never take your kids to Starbucks and let them pick something. I went to Starbucks Sunday AM to get Chris and I coffee. I brought my main man Corby with me and told him he could pick something. He had said he was going to get a bagel... Nope, he wanted the ridiculously expensive cupcakes, one for him and one for Claire. He also wanted the cute little box of chocolate milk. So, if you plan on bringing your kiddos to Starbucks, be prepared to double the price of your trip and let your kids eat cupcakes at 8am! Nothing like being a kid!
Hmmm.... I wonder what she is up to???
This started as a little blanket for Caroline to have tummy time... It ended up as the Barrow kiddo hangout..
looking for shells...
Claire and Corbin sleeping on the couch bed at the beach!

All in all we have had a great week. We went to the park both days this weekend and again today! The kids love the park... Funny park story from today. I had the three kids at the park. Caroline was sleeping in her MOBY wrap (by the way this is the best thing I have ever ordered online in my life) Claire and Corbs were just running around. Corbin decided he had to pee, so he went in the grass, pulled down his pants and went for it. Kind of embarrassing to be that mom at the park with the kid who is peeing in the grass... oh well....

Beach!

YEA for the beach! My parents bought a beach house in Galveston, and the whole crew went to celebrate! We all had a really good time helping my parents set the place up! It is a super cute place, and I know the kids will enjoy having a place at the beach to go to! I took these pics from my sister in laws blog b/c I haven't had time to download mine! In this pic my niece just jumped right up in my lap and snuggled with Claire and I.
My pretty girl really enjoyed the beach!
Corbin doing some artwork! I had to spend some time scrubbing marker off the counters thanks to Claire.
It is really funny how kids entertain themselves. The kids spent a lot of time running up and down the deck at the house. They would skip, run, crawl and laugh the whole time! I love how Junie is covered from head to toe, and Corbin is in shorts and a t shirt.. maybe that is why we are always sick around here.
playing!
Here are the smallest two little cousins.. Natalie was watching the little ones while I was doing something else.. she just put both little ones in the bouncer and they bounced away! Shelby and Caroline will be running around with the other 4 in no time! Soon I will get my pics posted!
