 I counted last week. Since Christmas we have been away from home 21 nights. That explains my lack of posts. I will try to catch up on what we have been up to lately, but until then this is what we do. Packing, Unpacking, Packing... And just cause I can' t resist here are a couple peaks at my cuties

 Eek! My goal was to upload pictures every night while we were in Nashville and update the blog every couple days so that I wouldn't have to do this huge post. Obviously that didn't happen so here I am puttering through a massive post. My sister and her family moved to Nashville a few months ago after my brother in law started a surgical residency at Vanderbilt. Josh and I are on a rotating

Meet our new niece. Ruby Sue was born January 6th. We are in love.  In other news Quinn turned 4 months old last week. At 4 months she is 13# 2oz and 24 inches long. In the 30th percentiles all around.  And just because we have pictures of the girls we better add one of the boys too. Here is Branson and Charlie at the boot shop when we were in Nashville.  We are so happy that our kids

One more post before I share pictures of our Nashville trip. The night before we flew out we drove over to Dad and Mom's. It worked out perfect for us to all carpool to the airport together. I also got to stop and visit my grandpa, who had just broke his hip, and we were able to see the adorable Williams kids. Last year mom had them over to make Christmas cookies and they wanted to do it again.

We got back from our trip to Nashville just in time to host a small New Years Eve Party. We didn't get many pictures, but here are a few of the kids loving the attention that they got from Uncle Jason and Auntie Sue. Branson loves having people over to play and Jason was the lucky one last weekend that B chose to be his playmate. See the look on his face, he was in heaven. Love it!

Once again too much time has past with too much going on so here is our mass update. We went to the town tree lighting. Here is Quinnie and Mommy bundled up ready to go. We aren't so impressed with our "tree" but B loves lights so he get excited every time we drive by.   Branson's new hat. Do you think he likes it?! Branson loves helping out around the house. Josh was cleaning

Our lack of posts lately have not been because we have nothing to blog about. Maybe too much has been going on. Josh just finished his whirlwind basketball season.  Twenty games between his two teams in the past three weeks. That includes Thanksgiving break. Josh loves it and I am glad that he gets to make a difference in these kids lives, but I am so thankful it is wrapping up now. It is nice

Last weekend we crashed Mom and Dad's party and joined them at Grandma's house and the cider press. We had a great time and have been enjoying all the apples and cider that we brought home. Quinn and Great Grandma T My kiddos with my grandma B and his other papa.  Uncle Bruce put Branson in the apple bin for some pictures, he wasn't sure at first, but soon warmed up to the idea and

In our last post I informed you all that B would not let me take  a picture of his shirt. This week I decided I needed to get a picture of him in his Big Brother shirt before he outgrows it. When I asked him if I could take a picture of him he ran and hopped in his stroller and posed for me. I LOVE HIM! In attempt to get every bit out of our decent weather I decided to take the kids to the

Here is just a little of what we have been up to. Grillo's came over to carve pumpkins Daddy helping Branson out with his pumpkin. The babies hung out together These are our results. All the credit goes to Josh. Quinn in her Halloween shirt (compliments of Auntie Kati) and socks (Thanks Auntie Beebs) This is what my cooperative son did whenever I asked him if I could get

I think we have a problem because I have way to many pictures for this post. Branson LOVES dirt and is constantly asking to play in the dirt. Because of his love of dirt our yard is his favorite playground right now. B loves his boots and he knows he can't go outside without shoes, so whenever he wants out he runs and puts on his boots. Sometimes that means that he is running around the house

Most of you have probably seen these pictures either on Facebook or the proofs Pam put online, but I wanted to post these for me to remember and to share with those who haven't seen them. Also, just to brag a little. Both on my kids and on my friend Pam who is our family photographer.  Pam does an amazing job, as you can tell by the results of her pictures, and she is great with the kids. She

Josh had a coaching conference in SeaTac last weekend, so the kids and I hitched a ride and went to visit my parents while he was there.  It has been nice to see my parents more frequently. Since Quinn was born we have been over there three times and mom here twice. We had a good weekend. Mom and I got some shopping in, since I am not brave enough to venture too far from home with my two

Wasn't I just saying how I was behind on blogging?!  Quinn turned a month old last Sunday, October 2nd, and here are some of the pictures that we took. The past month has flown by and I can't imagine our life without our sweet baby girl (or her rowdy big brother!) Brother wanted to help out too so, he pulled out his stickers to put on sister.   This girl has no hope! Brother

I only started this post a week ago and am finally publishing it. Better late than never right?! Auntie Kati's class reunion was scheduled perfectly for her and Uncle Forrest make the trip to Washington and meet their niece. Forrest and Kati bring B super fun toys. This time B got a space shuttle and stickers from all the shuttle launches. B flying his shuttle. We had to discuss what

Last week Bethany and Charlie came to visit. Mom picked them up at the airport and they all three came over to meet baby Quinn. The plan was for us to head back over to Dad and Mom's for the weekend, then I would stay the week with the kids since Kate and Forrest come in tomorrow. That was the plan. Friday morning Quinn had newborn photos with Pam then Bethany and I packed the kids in the

Josh and I are lucky enough to have good friends Justin and Pam live only a couple blocks away. Our older kids are one year apart, but are still best buddies. Now our younger kids are only 2 weeks apart, it is going to be so much fun raising our kids together and watching them grow. Blake was born yesterday 9/19/11 so of course Kathy, Quinn and I raced down to meet him. He is adorable, we are

Quinn Kathleen was born one week ago. September 2 at 7:00 pm. She weighed 7 pounds 2 oz, was 20 inches long and looks a lot like big brother Branson as a newborn. Labor and delivery with Branson was an all day and part of the night event. With her I had contractions from 5-10 a.m. 6 minutes apart. Then they stopped. At 4 pm we left home for our 5:00 doctors appt (thankfully, Branson was

Branson turned two last week. With another baby expected anytime we didn't really plan anything, but we still managed to celebrate a little. It was fair weekend here so when Josh got off work we ventured down there. B and Daddy sharing B's birthday dinner After a few hours there we went to Papa and Grandma's and had cake with them, Uncles and Auntie. Branson wanted help blowing out his candles

The town pool has closed for the year and we are missing it already. Saturday was the last day it was open and we decided we had to go one last time this summer. B loves the water and we love playing with him in it.Grandma Leslie traditionally gives us coupons for an ice cream cone for our birthdays, this year B got one too. We stopped by Mitchell's for an after swim snack on the way home.

Since it has almost been a month and B is out driving combine with his daddy I figure I better take this opportunity to update our blog. Angus lives down the road and came down for dinner. Really, he and Branson ran around like the rowdy almost two year olds that they are while their parents tried to eat. It was great!Uncle Jason and Auntie Sue also came up that night and Uncle Jason discovered

Branson has decided that he hates getting his hair cut. After trying and him crying and covering his head with his hands we waited a week and decided to bribe him with a couple of his favorite things: Our sink and a movie. He still wasn't completely compliant with the haircut, but it will do. Afterward he just wanted to hang out in the sink and watch the rest of the movie.I think he would spend

We are long over due for a post and this is not nearly what it should be, but here is a little taste of what we have been up to.Branson loves having Dakota over to play. Unfortunately the weather has not been very cooperative for outdoor water activities, and we are hoping August brings us more sunshine.July 3rd Josh took B to the Demolition Derby here in town. He loved it, but at intermission he

This year Josh and Branson started a new Father's Day tradition. Saturday night we had Dad and Mom Barnes along with Aunt Jan over for dinner. When they went home the boys set up the tent in our backyard and had a campout.Branson loved it and had a hard time settling down to go to sleep. They made it outside until about 3 a.m. and only ended up coming in because B is not a fan of covers when he

Last week B and I spent the week with Holly in Coeur D'Alene. We had a great time and the only thing that would have made it better was if the weather had cooperated a bit more.Day one we went to Silverwood. Branson had a great time. The first thing that we did was go on the carousel. B said Wee Wee the whole time, he loved it. When the ride stopped and I took him off he started to cry.He was

Both Branson and my favorite part of the day is when Josh gets home from work. Usually by then B is bored with his mama and loves the adventures that daddy brings. The other day the boys headed out to mow the lawn, sometime during their chores Branson must have decided he wanted to be done because when I looked out the window my little guy was riding on his daddy's shoulders! I grabbed the

A couple weeks ago Grandma Kathy and I took Branson to Smallwood's Harvest. He loved it! There is a petting zoo. He laughed and laughed at Grandma feeding the animals. Then we took him to play in the yard. He loves to get dirty so digging in the sand at the bike track was his favorite part.

Spring has finally decided to arrive and we are so happy about that. Here is a peak at some of the things that we have been up to.A couple weekends ago we watched the Apple Blossom parade. Josh and I took Branson to the youth parade and he loved it so much we decided that we should take him to the Grand Parade the next weekend. It was fun to watch the parade with The Grillos, The Sandersons,

Easter weekend was the perfect weekend for us to head over the mountains to visit my parents. Saturday Baby Girl Layton was due so we went to visit Sarah and Brian, but baby girl must not have wanted to meet us yet because she decided to stay put in mama for another week.Saturday afternoon was my high school friend Keri's baby shower. It was great to catch up with some of the ladies that I don't

Branson loves playing with his friend Dakota. Sometimes She gets to come visit us when her mom has to work. When Holly was here a couple weeks ago Dakota came to play. She and Branson dumped out the toy box and closed themselves in the bedroom. When Holly went in to check on them this is what she found.

The end of March Mom ended up having surgery on her hand/wrist and Branson and I went over to help. I am not sure how much of a help we were, but at least we kept Grandma entertained.The first weekend in April was my Grandma's birthday, so we tagged along with Mom and Dad (once again saying that we were helping mom) and went to help Grandma celebrate.I had to steal the next few pictures from

I don't know if it is the time change or what, but my 18 month old has decided that he no longer needs naps. One night it finally caught up to him and he fell asleep during dinner. I have seen pictures of other peoples children falling asleep while eating and always thought How does that happen?!Thankfully, this week has been better as far as sleeping goes. I just had to post these pictures

Last weekend B and I tagged along with Mom while she took a load of Holly's stuff to her new place. We are loving the fact that Holly is within driving distance now. Grandma shared her ice cream cone with Branson on the drive. It did a great job of keeping him entertained, but he was a mess by the time he was finished.We stayed in a hotel since Holly is still getting settled in her place. Auntie

Branson found his potty chair in storage with the other baby stuff. He was so interested in it that Josh moved it upstairs to the bathroom. He loves to sit on it and typically sits on it after we get him undressed before he gets in the tub.Branson usually feeds himself dinner then goes directly in the bath after dinner. Here he is taking his potty break first.Since I have been pregnant he has

August is already a month of celebrations for us. It starts out with my birthday, then Josh's birthday. Towards the end of month we celebrate Branson's birthday, then our anniversary. This does not include our siblings and parent's birthdays. We just want to add a little more fun to the month, Baby Barnes #2 is due August 2011.

Here are a few of the pictures that we have from our time at the Ag Expo.Everything that is big and moves is a "truck" to Branson. He loves "trucks" and was in heaven at the Ag Expo getting to explore them all. As you can tell by the next few pictures He checked out every inch of all of them.He loves riding on shoulders and was content sitting on daddy while he talked to some customers. This was

Last time we were at Dad and Mom's they captured a couple shots of Branson and Charlie that I loved. If you remember from our previous post B and C were watching "Thomas." Branson thought it was pretty funny.The next couple pictures Bethany sent me from when they were out in August.Last week was the Ag Expo. B and I tagged along with Josh and Grandpa for a couple days. It was very cold while we

The day after Christmas we headed to see Charlie. Ben and Bethany were visiting for a few days so we took advantage of that to see Charlie...and the Beebs too. Branson was worn out after a few big days celebrating the holidays here, so Auntie Bethany let him watch some Thomas the Tank Engine which made him a very happy boy. Charlie joined him.This is what he does when he see trains "TOOT"We went

I haven't posted anything since Thanksgiving so I figured I should update now while I have a chance. Christmas Eve we spent with Josh's family.Branson caught on to the whole opening presents thing right away. Between his grandparents, uncles and aunts B is a spoiled boy. He is in heaven with all of his new trucks. Uncle Joel got a remote control helicopter. Branson isn't quite sure about it, but

I haven't been very good at the whole taking pictures thing lately, but here are a few from our Thanksgiving.Josh and I rotate holidays between my family and his. This year it was Thanksgiving at my parents house. Snow at their place is rare, especially on Thanksgiving, but it didn't stop us from attending the first annual Oly Trot and playing our traditional football game. Joel joined us this

This is what we spend the majority of our day doing; playing with trucks. B is a true boy and loves all things with wheels. He is getting pretty good at telling us the difference between cars and trucks. but tractors are still "trucks"This picture was taken last week, when B was outside playing with Daddy. That was the last of our fall weather. The snow hit a few days later and I think it is here

October ended with a visit from Holly. We loved having her with us for over a week and we are already counting down the days until we get to see her at Thanksgiving.I didn't get very many pictures of her visit, but here are a few. Bundled up to go to the high school homecoming gameBranson loved getting spoiled by his Auntie. It was freezing at the game and this was the best smile Branson could

The only picture I got all day was our team picture at the Oktoberfest Marathon. Uncle Steve and Lucas ended up not being able to make it, thanks to Justin for filling in at the last minute. With only five runners Joel did an awesome job stepping up and running the last two legs. Looking at the results of the relay our chip must not have worked, but we would placed somewhere between 5th and 10th

A few months ago my Uncle Steve organized a team to participate in the Super Jock & Jill half marathon. Our team name was Cats and Dawgs. We all wore "uniforms" to show who we supported the UW or WSU. Dad, Mom and myself thankfully opted out of the rivalry and chose to show our support for our Alma Matter and went as CWU Wildcats.Poor Joel was the only one representing the Cougs. Good thing he

Baby B isn't a baby anymore! Last week he turned one. Grandma T and Holly came over to see him for his Birthday. Of course we convinced Grandma to bring a cake.Dane was visiting Joel and his birthday was last weekend, Branson was nice enough to share his cake with him.Best buddies, Dakota and Branson, admire the cake.I won't bore you with a million pictures of B opening his presents, but you can

My birthday is in August, Josh's birthday is in August. After we got married in August Josh told me we should have our kids in August. I didn't think that was a good idea, but last year Branson was born in August.So far we have celebrated the first two. For my birthday Sarah came to visit and we spent the morning in Chelan, then went out to Manson to pick Blueberries.For Josh's birthday Ben,

Charlie finally decided to make his appearance. Isn't he cute?! Dad, Mom, B and I were so anxious to meet him we hopped in the car and drove from Washington to Minnesota. On the way we stopped by Mount Rushmore Branson's first look at his cousin. B taking a break from playing with Grandpa. Note their matching outfits. Charlie with Auntie Holly. I am SO jealous that she gets to cuddle

This is the third year in a row that Josh has rode the STP. After riding it the first year he decided that one of these years he would ride it in one day. That year was this year. Here are the boys in Tenino. This is where Sue and I met up with them first.Leaving Centralia, this is the halfway mark.They made it! 205 miles in one Day!11 hours & 35 minutes on their bikes.Josh and B at the finish

After being out of town for a week a relaxing weekend at home sounded nice. We entertained the idea of going camping with Jason and Sue, but instead we talked them into coming up and spending the weekend with us.Saturday we took Branson to the town pool for the first time. He loved it! I am anticipating that we will be spending lots of days there.That night we headed out to the shop and had a

Last week Mom, Branson and I showed up at Bethany's front door. Holly was out the beginning of June and mentioned to Mom that she should try to come out for Bethany's upcoming baby shower. From there plans just took off and before I knew it we were on a plane headed for Minneapolis.I didn't get very many pictures, but here are a few from this past week.

We are very thankful for all of those who serve our country. Especially thinking of Trese's dad (isn't he the cutest) and grandpa today. Happy Veterans Day.On a side note we now have equal number posts on this blog as we do on our house blog. I think that means we should get to work! Actually, we have been making some progress just not very many pictures. I will have to catch up on that soon.

Justin and Pam hosted a little get together on Halloween. We loved spending the evening with our friends and their little ones. Branson dressed up as a skeleton in honor of Uncle Ben's birthday. We did not get any pictures of him, but you can browse through our blog and see pictures taken of him earlier in his "outfit."We loved the excuse to get Andrew, Leah and Taya back to our place.

My sisters in Minnesota have been trying to get sympathy from me because it is only October and freezing cold and snowing back there. Well, Tuesday it snowed in Waterville. I told them they have to stop feeling sorry for themselves now.Here is Branson bundled up ready for our trip to town.He loved watching the snow fall. I am sure he is going to be a snow lover like his daddy. As I was busy

About a month ago I got a text from Bethany that said: Ben and I got Branson an "Outfit." I sent a text back asking why outfit was in quotation marks. The response I got from her was that she thinks technically it is a Halloween costume, but since they couldn't find the right size for him to wear on Halloween he gets an outfit.The lucky thing is that they found an "outfit" in his current size, so

Branson turned one month old last Friday. It took me that long to take him to get some pictures taken. We are thankful that Auntie Pam is a photographer, because otherwise we might never get any done. Here is a sneak peak.Photo by Pamela GrilloWe are having so much fun with Branson these days. He is a happy little guy, which makes his mommy and daddy happy. Most of the time that he is awake he is

Saturday we went to help celebrate the new marriage of Stephen and Jenny. They tied the knot at the home of the bride's parent's outside of Ellensburg, the setting was amazing.Branson is becoming a pro at attending weddings. This was the second wedding of his life and he gets to go to another in less than two weeks. We can't wait to celebrate with Mark and Meredith.Josh really enjoyed the band.

Kati and Forrest got married last week. We are so excited to have another brother, and couldn't have picked a better one ourselves.Branson and I got to spend the whole week at Mom and Dad's, I was very thankful we had made plans for Josh to fly over, so I didn't have to make the trip home by myself. The plan was for me to help get ready for the big day, but I think everyone there helped me out

Branson with the Hiccups! Here is a quote from burpingbaby.com: "Remember, at the end of the day it is only really the parents who get bothered by baby’s hiccups. They don’t bother your baby at all (in fact he/she probably wonders why everyone doesn’t hiccup!), so the only things you need to give your baby each time hiccups develop are a little bit of patience,

In July Bethany, Holly and I hosted a bridal shower for Kati. It was so much fun to have all of my sisters in the same place again, even if it was only for a quick trip from Holly and Beth. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of them from that weekend.Kati with her rehearsal bouquetBouquet made by Bethany and Kati's flower girl.Holly ended up flying in a few days early, so it was fun to get to

We are going to see what we can do about getting caught up on blogging. Our lack of posts lately have not been because we have been up to nothing, but because we haven't even had time to take our pictures off of the camera.Two weekends ago Josh rode his bike from Seattle to Portland for the 2nd year in a row. This year we did not have as big of a crew to watch for, but Josh and Forrest did rope

Once again we are very far behind when it comes to blogging, but here are a few pictures of the Tulip Festival that we went to in Skagit Valley last month. We stayed that night in La Conner and fell in love with the little town on the water.

Here are a few pictures from our time at Dad and Mom's on Thanksgiving.On Thanksgiving the Cowboys played the Seahawks. Kate and Forrest represented their home state teams (even though Julius Jones and Shaun Alexander no longer play for either team). I think my sister is definitely tougher than her other half.Here are a few pictures from our annual football game. Some are a little blurry, but I

We are way behind on posts, but here are some pictures from the basketball tournament a couple weekends ago.For the second year in a row for Josh, and third year for poor Forrest, their team placed second. Despite taking second we had an awesome weekend with friends.On the way over the team decided to stop in North Bend at the Nike outlet to pick up some Jerseys, they were very pleased when the

It is hard to believe that two of my sisters are now residents of the state of Minnesota. I just got back from an amazing road trip helping Holly relocate to Minneapolis. We left my place Friday morning stayed in Butte on night one. Day two we went to Yellowstone and then crashed in Billings. Sunday we stopped to visit Little Bighorn then made it to Rapid City, SD. Monday was a full day of Mount

It is the beginning of basketball season again and I was getting used to the fact that I would be seeing even less of my husband than normal. However, I have been pleasantly surprised that he is now getting home earlier then he does when he doesn't have practicing forcing him out of the office.

We are back home and well rested from a couple weeks off of work. We spent some time in Minneapolis with Ben and Bethany then we drove to Chicago to visit Jason and Sue. We had a great time hanging out and it was good to see where both couples are living. Neither of us had ever been to Minnesota so it was fun to do some exploring. In Chicago the weather was much better than the last time we were

This past weekend I participated in The Seattle 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk. I joined a team from Ellensburg that consisted of six walkers and six crew members. I volunteered with one of the ARNPs that I used to work with on the Medical Crew. The whole weekend was an incredible experience. The walkers all raised over $2,200 each to participate to walk and overall the Seattle walk raised 8.6 million

Okay, so they aren't that new anymore, but we are still super excited about them. It all started about a year ago when my mom moved to Walla Walla and bought a cruiser bike. She reported to me that she got a new bike and it was hot pink and had a basket on it for her to carry her stuff in. After that I started trying to convince Josh that I needed a bike to ride around town, and a cruiser like
