In Bloom

Spring is here, so we got to planting!



I love the little pops of color!

 

 

Happy Spring!

Happy Easter!

We stayed close to home for Easter and just enjoyed some quiet family time. Sweetie spent Easter with us again this year. Although I have no photo evidence, we put on our Sunday best and enjoyed an awesome church service. I love the emotions that are stirred up as we remember all that Jesus was and all that He did. I need to remember to worship Him that way ALL YEAR LONG!

 

The Easter Bunny paid us a visit and Ben was pleasantly surprised by the treats and treasures he found in his basket. His loot included an outfit, new crocs, a bathing suit, a bubble blower, a Wiggles video, and some candy filled eggs.

 

Happy Happy Easter from the Barricks!

The Face

Our new favorite Ben-ism is simply known as “The Face”. Ben likes to walk on his tip toes, and he will do it upon request. Every time he walks on his tip toes, he makes this face.

 

Every. Single. Time.

Don’t mind me, just walking on my toes.

It’s hard work. That’s why I make this face.

Hilarious. Love my boy!

Was the spaghetti worth it?

Ben says “Why, yes. Yes it was.”

This is what happens when Daddy is in charge of dinner clean up.

February Fun

There were plenty of good times to be had around the house this month.

There was some bike riding.

Grandad taught Ben how to play baseball.

Grammy let him use her legs as a race track.

Daddy read some great stories. Noah’s Ark is a favorite.

Ben had a blast with his new bubble gun.

Then he tried to shoot me with it.

All of that fun can tire a little guy OUT!

San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo

While Mom, Diane & I attended the Women of Faith conference, Brian and Wayne took Ben to the Rodeo. Bri said there was a lot to see (I’ve never been), but Ben’s favorites were testing out the tractors and visiting the petting zoo.

He’s My Best Friend

Tanner & Ben’s friendship is growing day by day. Ben is starting to ask to play with “Nnnnnn-na”. They have lots of fun together. :)

They are both all boy!

They like to have good, clean fun!

Just being together is what counts the most!
