A few of my FAVORITE things...

The LITTLE things in life are usually the most precious. Those small moments that make you smile, make your heart flutter, and your feet dance. 

These are a few of my favorite things:

My oldest nephew, Joe Cannon, visited a few weeks ago. I had been begging for them to come visit. He's 2 years old and the most precious 2 year old I've ever known. When I watch him, I see my brother (Joe Jerren) all over again when HE was 2. AMAZING!!

This little boy has got some PERSONALITY. I could talk about him and tell stories till I was blue in the face, but instead I'll leave you with a few pictures that will give you some kind of an idea...

Meet Joe Cannon Barnes.

Show us your teeth!

Precious boy!

                                                                     

hot day at DINO world.

carseatin' it up!

HE SLEEPS.

Love my little chunk too! Austin, my babiest nephew, always sends me pics from Odessa.

This picture makes me giggle EVERY time I look at it. He is definitley a  growing boy!!! lol

Hold the toes move. This is very difficult. Do not attempt at home.

I Love to feel this little baby move and squirm. It's reassurance. It's a blessing from above. It's my own baby girl. Watching my belly grow is amazing. A miracle. This was at 26 weeks.

P.S. I have definitley grown since this little self portrait!

I also LOVE to browse through little baby boutiques and admire all the many fluffy things that baby Braylin will be smothered in, and the little pieces of decor that will make her room all the more special. So much fun!

This cross goes PERFECT with her bedding. I couldn't believe it.

These handmade dresses were SOOOOO cute. I did resist temptation... for now. I"ll be back!

I love getting unexpected prizes in the mail for our little baby girl. Baby Braylin has already received her first few pieces of mail! We have some pretty special friends out there.
We cherish the friends and family across Texas that continue to pray.

 That is definitley one of our favorite things! :) 

And chocolate.

My husband's hand on my pregnant tummy.

My mother's regular daughter-is-prego visits.

The bowls of cereal AFTER a meal that I don't feel guilty about (nice being pregos sometimes!).

And last but not least... FALL.
Fall is my favorite season of the year. The sites,sounds, and adrenaline of football-- Longhorns!
  There is something about all the stores stocking out their Halloween and Fall decor that makes me warm and fuzzy. I can't wait to put out all of my halloween and fall decor... which sits impatiently in the hallway closet wrapped in Hobby Lobby bags. Can I put it out YET????

My scarecrow and pumpkin patch will be set-up in the front yard.

And of course the smell of the gold and yellow mums that I will plant in my front flower pots.

Mmmmm....

it makes me feel warm and comfortable just thinking about it. I dont' know if there is a better season within the year. This tops it. Warm colors. Cooler weather.



Only a FEW of my favorite things.
This shall be continued!

Thanks for the continued prayers for baby Braylin and I.
Doc appointments are pretty often now. Updates will come.
Blessings...
