Just some picture

I'm not great at writing cute, interesting things... so I'll just let the pictures do the talking!!

Boo!

Me and my little one.

Dan and Whitney have been great to have around to play with Brylee.

Kenny was so adorable with the little one. It was fun to have her come play!

Ashlyn was SO cute with her... It was so fun to go visit Mountain Home.

It was a blast to have Steph come and play. You are such A great sissy!

We took her on a Sunday walk before it got too cold... So fun!!!

Braden is the best daddy in the world... She's a major daddy's girl. I don't blame her!

She's so cute when she's naked!! Haha. She's already girlie... She sleeps on her side with her hands clasped up by side of her face. It's adorable!

She had a little jaundice so we had to lay her out naked in the sun. This is baby's first sun tanning experience. haha

Baby faces

Here's some of the faces of our cutest little baby ever. She's so fun and adorable!

Content face...
Curious face...
Just after dinner, very full, satisfied and sleepy face! Probably my favorite!!!
Even her crying face is cute... as long as it's day time :)
AND A SMILIE FACE!!! :)

A few firsts

Here's a few pictures of Brylee's firsts:

First binkie - Grandma Cherie was nice enough to go out and buy her one since we didn't get one at the hospital for some odd reason. And first headband.

First Bath - which she obviously loved :)

First night by herself in her own crib - which was amazing how well she slept! Apparently WE were keeping her awake or something!

First ride to the doctor's office - this car seat is so funny!

And our first family photo.

Baby Brylee Brag Blog

This is the whole reason we made a blog! Was that some day we could put cute little things about our kiddies on here... and now we can!!! Brylee Barrett was born November 8, 2009 at 2:16 pm. She was 6 pounds 9 ounces and was 20 inches long - that's the 50th percentile for height and the 15th percentile for weight! This is one long skinny baby! :) She is so fun and adorable! She has been such a good baby since she got here. She nurses well and doesn't cry hardly at all. And last night, she slept 4 hours and then I woke her up and fed her and then slept 4 hours again!!! She never cried the whole night and I had to wake her up for food! She is the best!

She's very small as you can see and this car seat is going to last her a while I think!!! But look at her fingers! They're SOOO long! She has the longest arms and legs in the world and they're so skinny! It's so cute to watch her flail around. :)

She really has been perfect since long before she got here... Here's my little chance to brag: I never had a single problem in pregnancy and never got sick once. I didn't lose a wink of sleep at all the night before or after she was born! I was only in labor for 4 hours - the first two hours, I could feel small contractions but nothing too bad and I had an epidural for the last hour so really it was only one hour of pain! And I was in the hospital for less than 24 hours. I am the luckiest person ever... so far. Guess I should expect some serious hardship sometime ahead because no one gets off that easy!

Anyway, she is here and healthy and very happy. We love her so much and she has so much family that loves her too. She is so blessed to have all of you to support her. And we are so blessed to be able to have the chance to be her parents! She's already a big daddy's girl. She stares at him anytime she can see him and looks for him until she can see him. It's so cute!!!

Girls weekend

The 2nd annual girls weekend in St. George was so much fun. We shopped and played and laughed and watched dumb movies about "Lo-bo Marunga." It was lots of fun. Here's a few pictures from the hike we went on.

The wuby was a good hiker... and sleeper!

The places we hiked were so pretty! Not to mention the girls who hiked them! :)

Nusery time

So I decided to make some bedding for the baby's room - partly because I thought it would be fun and because we were super excited about how much cheaper it was to make! Anyway, we haven't decorated much in case we move soon but I did get the room mostly put together. Here are some pics of our new nursery! We can't wait to have a little one to put in this new nursery!!!

Isn't this the cutest little closet full of pink you've ever seen!?

Playing dress up will be so fun with this little one!

It's not a very big room... but she' not a very big girl yet either!
Here's one side of the room...
Another...

And another. Good thing we got so many cute things to decorate from Jessica and Sue!

And here's our little crib! I made the sheets (there's a pink one too), the bumpers, and the bedskirt. Grandma Astle made the Afghan hanging on the back and Grandma Beyler made the quilt hanging on the front. It's so cute! We're so excited! Thanks everyone who helped out with this little room! :) We are so lucky to have so much support!

We're not sure of her name yet but we're thinking either Brecca or Brylee. She's due November 21st, but we're both hoping she's here sooner than that! We can't wait!

Rykie's Birthday!

Then we wen and stayed with Steph and JT for Ryker's birthday! It was so fun haning out with the kids! We got to see Kenny's primary program at church and then got to party with Ryke on his big day.

Brothers...

A big smile from a widdo wuby.

So cute!

Bad lands

Way back in September, we went to the BadLands in Wyoming. It was super fun. The whole Barrett fam was there! I couldn't do much riding - since I was 7 months pregnant - but Braden definitely got some good rides in! Here are some pics of Braden, Toby, and Bridger.

Here are all three of them - Braden and Toby way up on the top and Bridger climbing up to meet them!

There's Toby and Braden up at the top again.

If you squint, you can see Braden up there, not quite to te top yet.

What a babe!

My first fishing trip

So Braden had a day off of work on Thursday so we decided to go up to a lake by Malta and go fishing!  I've only been fishing twice in my life, but neither was the real line in the water experience... once in Belize and once fly fishing with Steph and JT.  So, I was all excited to catch my first Idaho fish...

Braden had to show me how it was done, so on his first cast, he pulled in this 18" trout!!!  It was so fun!  It took up the whole length of our cooler!!!

Then a little while after, I caught myself one!  Mine's wasn't as big, but hey, a fish is a fish!!!  My biggest was about 16"... which is pretty awesome in my own personal opinion! :)

All in all we caught 8 and kept 4.  We cooked them up when we got home... let me just tell you... that was some of the BEST fish I've ever had in my life!!!!  I love fishing! 

St. George Memorial Day...

Oh man, this was an eventful trip!  So much fun every day!  It all started out with some fun in  a car ride.  Andy and Brooklyn were nice enough to let us ride down with them.  Ashlyn seemed like she had some fun sitting by Braden and Dax and I were partying in the back!

When we went camping, Kenny found her new best friend and was NOT going to let him out of her sight... ALL DAY!  It was so cute!  He had lots of fun being the center of another girl's attention for once!  It was hard for me to share, but I learned...  :)

We had so much fun with all the kiddies!  They are so cute... it got us even more excited for this winter when we'll have our own!  November 21 is when the big event is scheduled... but we'll see :)

Then the trip came to an end which was sad for all of us except baby Lyn... who gave us a little toe touch of excitement on the ride home!!  It was so funny!
