We're still alive...just overloaded!

Being that I haven't posted anything for over 2 months now, you can definitely tell that we are in up to our eyeballs on this house building thing! I have, however, done okay with keeping our home progress blog relatively current. Here's the link in case you haven't seen it: http://www.barnesbuilt.com/

But I definitely want to get back to posting on this more...we'll see how it goes! Here are a few pics from our trip out to Missouri to visit David's side of the family...

Holding a big snake at the reptile world/zoo we went to with the cousins

Petting and feeding the kangaroos and llamas

Group picture with all Grandma Barnes, Uncle Owen, cousins, and our German relatives who were visiting

Kalyssa, Karson, & Karter went wakeboarding with the Allphin cousins...here's the before shot at the beginning of the boat ride...

Wheeee! Here's the "after" shot of them once the boat got moving! Talk about sheer delight!

Playing "Rock Band" with the cousins at the 4th of July party (Kaden's on drums, Kalyssa's sitting by Grandpa Barnes)

Everyone had matching Old Navy flag shirts at the party, and we all took family pictures in them (Koleman is always making some silly face!)Grandma & Grandpa Barnes took the whole group to the Dixie Stampede horse and dinner show one night, and here we all are beforehand.It was a great trip full of family, food, and fun!!!
