First Haircut

BEFORE...

DURING...

AFTER!!!

Nolan had his first haircut Saturday. He did a really good job holding still and Kelsey did an even better job with the scissors. He just looks so grown up now. He is even acting older since he got the new look.

Happy Anniversary Myers and Happy Birthday Ally!

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful sister-in-law, Emily and her husband Geoff! Their wedding 8 years ago was as beautiful as it was cold. (It was fridgid...as they left the reception it started sleeting.)

Happy Birthday (last Sunday) to my super cute niece Ally! I can't believe she's already 2!

Ally playing "dress-up"!

First Tooth

Yeah!!! Nolan finally has his first tooth coming in. It has been through the gum for several days although it hasn't inched up at all. We are so relieved that he is actually going to have teeth. We were beginning to wonder if we would be buying dentures for his first birthday. I obviously don't have a pic of his first tooth considering I would have to stick my camera in his mouth to get a shot (I don't think that would go over too well)!

Nolans 1st Halloween

Nolan had so much fun on his first halloween! He got to stay up late, see family and friends, play, and eat candy (just a sucker). His night couldn't have been better!

Our Little Monkey!

Nolan stops by Mimi and Pops house to sing and clamp.

Weeeeee!!! I'm swinging like a real monkey!

Maci, Reid, Nolan, Michael, and Maryn go Trick-or-Treating together.

Michael and Maryn are two peas and a pod(s).

This is the prettiest Dorothy I have ever seen!

And this is the prettiest cat I have ever seen, my precious niece, Landry!

Weekend Festivities

This was a very busy weekend for the Barnard family, from all the Homecoming Festivities to visiting Nolans newest little friends to a big birthday bash!!

It all started Saturday with the annual WHS Homecoming Parade! How exciting! (well, it was for Nolan anyway) It was Nolans 1st parade. He just sat on a blanket for the longest time in awe of the cars and trucks slowly driving by.

Nolans cousins, Molly (right) and Ally (left) had lots of fun at the parade too!

Molly, Emily (my sister-in-law), and Ally watched the parade from the curb to get a better view! (and more candy!!)

Like I said, I went to visit Nolans newest little friends, Michael and Maryn. They are 10 days old in this pic. Michael is protecting his sisters eyes from the flash in this picture.

I went with some friends to see the twins. From left to right, myself, Jodi (who had twins 3 weeks ago, Gretta (the mommy of Michael and Maryn), and Emily (my sister-in-law). It was fun sharing mommy stories!

Saturday afternoon, we attended a luncheon in honor of my father-in-law, Harold. He got inducted into the WHS Hall of Fame. We are so proud of him!

Saturday evening, we went to Eriks 10th high school reunion! It was fun catching up with old friends. It brought back many memories seeing their faces. Unfortunately, there are no pics from this event, as I left my camera in the car.

Last, but not least, was little Macis 2nd birthday party out at the farm. Nolan had lots of fun and even managed to get a few kisses from Maci. He liked that!

Hook'em Horns!

Way to go Longhorns! They defeated OU 45 to 35! It was an awesome game! Erik, Harold (Eriks dad), and Chris (my brother) enjoyed the game from the stands, while Nolan and I enjoyed the game from the living room.
