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!

Sophie, Claire and baby Shelby

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.

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!

What do you do when...

What do you do when 2 of your three kiddos are sick and you are stuck at home... Corbin and Claire have been sick this week. Corbin has strep throat and Claire has pink eye... That was a fun doctor's trip Tuesday morning.. they tested them both for strep which means they both got giant q-tips shoved in their mouths... FUN TIMES!
this is the first dress Caroline fit into. She looked so cute. The bow only lasted for the picture. Claire wore this dress on Valentine's day when she was 7 DAYS old.. It fits Caroline at 6 weeks!
You get to eat a lot of candy when you are home sick and mommy is in charge. Basically anything goes.
Corbin, Claire and I built this impressive zoo...
Corbin liked staying home from school... this particular day he spent part of the morning dressed at Batman and part as some star wars guy. He was playing battle with the animals...
Sometimes when your kids are throwing fits you can only sit back and laugh. This particular fit was because Claire wanted a bottle... is she 2. Yes. Does she still drink bottles . Yes. Do I want any comments on why she shouldn't be drinking them? NO.
She drinks one at night, which is fine with me.. Whatever is comforting and makes you happy.. But, this day she wanted them all throughout the day. Did I give in, YES.
Little snuggle buggie
Corbin and his best pal dog dog taking a snooze.
Even though the kids were sick, the weather was nice so they played outside a lot. They had a fun picnic lunch with their stylish sunglasses.
They dug holes looking for worms.
sweet little 6 week old baby girl.

Happy Valentines Day!

Today the kids and I made some special Valentines day cards! It was nice and messy, but super cute.
Hollywood Claire
Corbin made this picture of our family today. I am guessing he learned how to draw people at school, because I did not teach him. I thought this was the most precious thing in the entire world. I might just frame it, and enter it into some contests!
My beautiful girl... Beautiful, bossy demanding little girl I might add. When this little princess in the making is awake she wants to be held... No putting this one down until she is in a GOOD DEEP SLEEP. Don't try to put her down right after she falls asleep, she knows that trick and pops right up.. AMAZING just how spoiled a baby can get in six short weeks! Love this baby to pieces...
Love this boy!
Happy Valentine's Day to all of my valentines... Chris, Corbin, Claireb and Caroline! I love you all very much, and you fill my heart to the brim with happiness and love. I am so lucky to have each of you! I couldn't love you more!!!!!

Happy February!

Sleepy day here at the Barrow house. Earlier this week I got both big kids to nap at the same time! AWESOME! As you can see Peanut and Chippy were in on nap time too.
The kiddos playing outside in their jammies. I think It was Monday that the weather was so nice, the kids really enjoyed being able to play outside. The rest of this week the weather has been so gross that we are going a little stir crazy!
Small little princess turned 5 weeks old!
So cute! Look how light her hair is!
Little Caroline can't do much without Corbin and Claire getting in the middle of it. Here Caroline is trying to enjoy her toy, but Corbin and Claire decided they wanted to be babies and play too.
Sister love!
Hmmm Claireb... are you a baby too?
