Busy weekend!

It was a busy weekend at the Barber house! I did not have school on Friday because of parent-teacher conferences...which worked out perfectly because our good friends from Wichita, KS came to Ames for a visit! (Adam, Jen, Tyler, Leah, Turner, and Carly Christians - Jenni and I attended school at St. Mary's together until high school when her family moved to LeMars). Adam and Jen lived in Ames and went to ISU until Adam got an engineering job in Wichita, and they love coming back to Ames to see old ISU-things and visit old friends...and we just happen to live in Ames now so it works out nicely! We had lunch at Hickory Park on Friday and the "girls" hung out for a few hours on Friday afternoon. On Saturday, the whole "crew" went to the ISU/Texas Tech BB game at Hilton - it was a great game and the kids did awesome. We all hung out for a few hours after the game at our house, and they took off early on Sunday morning! The weekend went by fast, but it was great to see old friends. Keatin LOVED having other kids around the house - she enjoys watching what everyone else is busy doing! :)

Keatin is in the midst of trying to crawl...she can spin herself on her stomach and can scoot backwards...we will keep practicing. :) She was also talking, talking, talking yesterday...she has found that voice and sometimes it is rather loud! :)

We hope you all have wonderful weeks - enjoy the pics! :)



Keatin and Leah Christians...Leah was coloring and Keatin wanted to be involved. :)

Keatin and Carly Christians...of course they wanted the same plastic baggy to play with. :) (BTW - Carly turned one on January 28th and is not that much bigger than Keatin!) :)

Best buddies - Crimson and Keatin... :)

These 2 were very busy with this toy for quite awhile...I LOVED watching them explore it together. :)

"Keatin - why is she taking our picture AGAIN?" :)

Uncle Joey and Aunt Jen gave Keatin this jumper at Christmas...so we had to take a photo for them to see! :)

High chair pictures on Sunday night - she was a hungry girl! :)
