Barrett's First Popsicle

Last week my mom and I decided it was time to give Barrett his first popsicle. Thinking that this was going to make some really cute pictures, I grabbed my camera and began to shoot. Well...the pictures turned out pretty funny. This is what I got...


The popsicle froze his hands and he didn't like that at all. We could not make him hold it by the stick. I guess we will wait until he is a little older and try again.
On another note, we just got back from the beach Sunday :( We had a great trip! I will post some pictures soon. Hope everyone has a great week. I am looking forward to the long 4th of July weekend!

We are going to celebrate our anniversary at the beach this week. We leave tonight and will be back on Sunday. I hope everyone has a wonderful week!! I will think about you while I am laying in the sand. :)

Rubber Ducky You're The One...
















This week I have been trying to get some cute pictures for Barrett's birthday invitation. Since we are having a rubber ducky theme party I figured it would be cute to have him in a tub playing with duckies. This was a little harder then I thought. As soon as I pulled out my camera he was trying to pull up on the side of the tub and grab it. I tried to hold him with one hand to keep him from slipping and take the picture with my other hand. It was quite an adventure!!Well....after putting 16 rubber duckies in the tub with him and about 50 pictures this is what I got. Maybe they will turn out ok on the invitation. I guess we will see!!!

Lately
















I know, I know...it has been a while since my last post. Not much has been going on. We did take Barrett to the Georgia Aquarium last weekend and he had a great time. I thought he may be too young to enjoy it, but boy was I wrong. He loved looking at the fish!! His eyes would get huge when a big fish would swim by.
Also, my mom is back from her beach trip and Barrett was so happy to see her Saturday afternoon. When she left her name was "Grandmommy" now she is saying Barrett is going to call her "E-Momma". I guess we will see. Who knows...he might even come up with a name for her on his own.
We will be going to the beach next week with my parents and sister. I am soooo ready for a vacation!! Jarrod and I will also celebrate our 3rd anniversary on June 24th at the beach!!! Yay!! Jarrod proposed to me at the beach almost 5 years ago so it is a special place for us.
On a sad note....please pray for The Mcleod Family this week! Ashley was one of my sorority sisters and her brother, Trent, was killed in an accident on Sunday. I cannot imagine what they are going through right now and they will need lots of prayer in the weeks to come.
I am in the process of planning Barrett's 1st Birthday party and hope to post how the planning is going in the next few weeks. We are going to have a Rubber Ducky theme party. I cannot wait!!
I hope everyone has a good week!!

Vitiligo Update

Ok, so I started my Extrac Laser treatments last Wednesday and just wanted to give everyone a little update. The doctor said they would like to do at least 30 treatments. Repigmentation should be seen by about 12-15 treatments. I go for my 4th treatment today. Each treatment last about 3 minutes. I go on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week during my lunch hour. I still do not know if insurance will pay for it, but the Doctor said it is usually not a problem. The laser is like a EXTRA strong tanning bed light, or at least that is what it feels like. Each place that the laser treats turns red and feels like a sunburn. It is not painful at all. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is going to work.

Anyways, on another note, My mom and her sisters leave for the beach on Saturday for a "cousin reunion". I really wish I was able to go but they said "no children allowed". Oh well, I will just hold out for our beach trip at the end of the month. Jarrod and I will be going to Georgia on Friday afternoon to see his family. I am hoping that we get to take Barrett to the Georgia Aquarium on Saturday. I know he still a little young, but it beats sitting around and doing nothing! As everyone knows, I cannot stand to sit in a house. I like to be on the go all the time. Well, I hope everyone has a good rest of the week. I will keep you updated on my progress with vitiligo.
