Home Sweet Home

Yay for being home! we were able to leave the hospital Sunday and come home. So far everything is going great. I am feeling wonderful and Bailey is as healthy as can be especially for being 4 weeks early. She is now 6 lbs 8 oz and 19 1/2 inches long so she lost a little bit of weight but it is pretty normal for that to happen. Jason is loving having a baby around. Throughout the day he will realize we don't have her and will say "baby?" wondering where she is. So I will have to take him to the bedroom and show him that she is still here and then he makes me get her out so he can hold her or give her a kiss :-) its too sweet....I know! I couldn't be happier with how he is handling everything that is going on.

The proud big brother!

Introducing Bailey Susanne Barrett

Bailey Susanne Barrett was born on July 9, 2010. she weighs a healthy 6lbs 11oz and is 19.5 inches long. She is so tiny and precious and we cant get enough of her. We are all doing well and we get to go home tomorrow!!! So far she sleeps most of the day and wakes up for a short bit to eat and get her diaper changed. she is so sweet and we are so very happy she was ready to come early(i think mommy was especially happy about this)

I am so excited to have a girl...i love headbands and dresses...its so much fun for me :-)

She already has daddy wrapped around her pinky

Mommy and Bailey...sorry i look horrible but hey i just had a baby for goodness sakes! :-)

I know its been forever!

I am really sorry that it has been awhile since i have posted anything. We bought a new computer and Brad needs to transfer all of the stuff off the other computer onto the new one so im just waiting for him to do that so i can post new pictures and i have also been busy with packing because we are moving to a bigger apartment so once i get pictures on this computer i will have a lot of pics dont worry!

Indiana

Last week Jason and I took a trip to Indiana to see my family and we had such a good time. Sorry there are kind of a lot of pictures but we took the kids to the childrens museum and they had a blast!!!

It was a really great trip...we missed brad a lot but enjoyed spending time with my family and Jason loved playing with his cousins especially Lily and Lexi! he loves Sam too but sam was a little too rough at times and Jason wasnt sure how to handle it :-)

Spring in Colorado...

So this is what I woke up to this morning and yes it is May! ugh sometimes I really dont like Colorado. Thank goodness we are going on vacation on Saturday...sadly we aren't going to the beach or anywhere exotic. We are just going to Indiana but we get to see my family woo hoo :-) and i know it is not snowing there!!! hopefully by the time we get back it will be warm and we can start working on our tans :-)

Ironman St. George 2010

While we were in St George we also were able to see Brads dad compete in an ironman. It was nuts but a very cool thing to watch and our Family friend Burt also competed...we are so proud of both of them. It is such an accomplishment!!

Where did Jason go?

climbing into his old baby toy

I think this was Jasons favorite thing to do there. As soon as we turned our head he would sprint to the computer room.

Father and son...so cute!!!
