Last weekend

We spent last weekend in NC visiting family. It was a super rare occurrence where all the Barnhart cousins were in the same place. We even got a picture!

On one of the lawns at Guilford. Aaron must have seen a plane or something.


Here Stella is taking off with one of Max's tennis balls. Max is the new German Shepard her cousins got.


Hey, where did every body go? Hello? Hellooooooo?

baby legs

Now that it has gotten colder I figured it was finally time to make some of these. I bought about 6 pairs of socks yesterday and hope to have them all converted by this evening. I made Stella a test pair last night and am happy to say they turned out beautifully even without the aid of a sewing machine. She is pushing these to their limits however, with her ample thighs. And diaper changing will be a snap.


She's holding her fake credit card. I hope she's going to treat herself to a haircut.


I think this is Aaron's worried face. He's worried I'm making him a pair next. Sorry little dude, I am.

And then a pair for his daddy.

Ready for Halloween

Cutting out the stencil for our first family pumpkin. Note stella's onesie (it says Daddy's little devil) and her awesome thighs.


Expert carving by Sarah, the babies cousin. Stella didn't hear that the marker portion of events was over. She wants Sarah to keep drawing.


Yeah, I'm looking pretty good here.


Give piglet alllll of your candy. Or piglet will find you...

We love Fall

Uh, do you know the way to San Jose?


Boo


I loooooooooove pumpkins!


This one right here is MINE!

Brusha brusha brusha

Stella hated having her teeth brushed (while Aaron LOVES it) - until her Grandpa gave her an electric toothbrush. Now she gets upset when you won't let her brush her teeth.

So that's how you brush your teeth Gpa?


I'll just keep polishing this one tooth down on the bottom.

Sprinkler

Gma and Gpa got new grass so they were allowed to water to make sure it doesn't die. If you aren't in Atlanta then maybe you aren't in a drought so this is a big deal...watering that is. The grandparents took the babies for a walk and when they got back Gma asked if she could run Stella through the sprinkler.





Hey Gma, let's not go through the sprinkler. I'll clean off your glasses instead.


Little yogurt break.

Goodbye summer...

eyelashes

He's just so pretty!

livestock is dangerous

Last week, Gpa and I took the babes to visit a friend in Lilburn. Their house sits on a big piece of property and they have 4 goats as pets. Well the goats work by keeping the grass down so they kind of earn their keep. Stella met her first goats at the zoo and was thrilled to see these.

Come closer little girlllllllllll


That's it...just a little closer...


Gotcha!

And then Mr. Earl took the little goat out so Stella could get up close and personal.

Hey little goat. You sure are cute!


Awww, look at your little horns! I'll just grab that. You don't mind right?


Aghhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah, she got rammed. Knocked flat on her butt. It was hilarious. Thanks goats!

Boo Bucket

Stella wears this on her head.

OBAMA!!!!!!

This is the face of a boy who wishes he were old enough to vote.

prepping for the big day

D'oh!

I didn't signal before changing lanes on my hippo? How embarrassing.

Stella and her lovey

The babies wouldn't take pacifiers & they don't suck their thumbs so I just worried that they didn't have any comfort objects...besides me. Stella got this lovey before she was born and I always left it in her crib but she didn't seem to take notice of it. I started giving it to her when she was out of the crib and we called it her 'baby' and now she takes it everywhere. Luckily they sell them as a pair and a spare so this decision won't come back to bite me in the ass when she loses one. Aaron has a dog and Stella has the frog. If you ask for a kiss, she'll even hold it up to your face so you can have one.

trippy

Aaron loves to look at himself in the mirror. Imagine his delight when he saw this!
