A long time...

I know that it's been a while since I've been on here. It's really becoming difficult with everything I do at work and not having a computer at home to do it at night. Christmas was good for us. Lots of family & friend time, so that was great! Steve and I both had to work Christmas Eve, so that was kind of tiring.

Here's some pictures of Emily while she was helping me cook just before Christmas. Just thought you would like to see! Hope everyone is doing good!

Our TV Star...

Here's a commercail that Steve's work did and Emily was able to debut as a TV Star! We have actually seen it on TV - she was so excited to see herself!

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

I told you so...

See, I told you that I would blog again! So, for today's episode...

This is our dear friends, Danny and Michelle (and Cate). They are expecting their 3rd child at the end of the month. They already have Carah and Cate, and now they are expecting Caleb. We are so excited for them to finally have a little boy!!! Some of us ladies at the church decided to throw them a baby shower, since all they have is pink and I don't think little boys like wearing pink. It was a really great day and they got so much!

Here's a few pictures:

If you can't read what the onsie says, it is "Go Tigers". It's hard to believe that I like them even though they are Auburn fans. Come to think of it, this church has really broadened my friend base - I have so many friends that are Florida, Auburn, Kentucky and even Alabama fans! I have so many more pictures, so I will blog again soon!

We are alive...

in case you were wondering. It has been a crazy few weeks, which led to a crazy couple of months. There's so much to update you on, that it's going to take me a few blog post to completely update you.

Emily is as much of a stinker as before! She's getting so big! It doesn't seem possible - she is her own little person now. And she knows exactly what she wants and how she wants it done!

Instead of saying every little detail - here's a few pictures of Halloween and on.

As you can tell Steve was the hit of Halloween. The Singles Group sponsored a trunk in our Trunk or Treat at church. Our Theme was Sports. It was so much fun - and I do believe we were the most photographed trunk thanks to Steve!!! No one could believe that he would be willing to embarrass him self like that - apparently no one know Steve!!! My favorite part of the night was being able to put make up on my husbands face! It's the small things in life that make me happy! :)

We had Thanksgiving lunch with my parents and my granddad at his retirement home. We didn't get a lot of pictures but this is one that I found.

Check back later for more - baby showers, Christmas cookie cooking, tree decorating and more!

I Promise...

I know that it has been forever since I have blogged. And I apologize. With training a new person to take my position and starting the new job, there has not been much time. I promise that in the next week I will post again with new pictures. We've been very busy around Casa de Barrios, and Steve and I are very excited about this weekend! We actually have a whole weekend off together and my parents have Emily! :) I know that sounds like an ungrateful mother, but it is really nice sometimes to have a break!! We are going to a marriage conference about communication. I will have to update you after the weekend....I think we are going to go to dinner with some of our closest friends - Danny, Michelle, Travis & Elizabeth. We've been friends for quite a while, yet we have never, ever had time with just adults!!!! I'm very excited about that. Okay, well it is after 5:00 on a Friday and I'm the only one left in the office...I'm going home to enjoy my weekend!
