Misc. pictures.

New matching dresses I bought for the girls.
I bought a bassinet for the baby and Tylee just had to try it out.

We shaved Trey's head before our Colorado trip and left a Mohawk for about 5 minutes.


Who's taller? They measure about everyday.




This is at the reading round-up on one of the last days of school. Shayla Burningham is teaching Mataya's class a dance and Tylee had to join right in.



My cute girls.





Sisters trip to Vegas

We had a sisters trip to Vegas. We kind of decided to meet and try out the pool at the golden nugget motel for Quincy's B-day, but it ended up just being a fun sisters trip. This is us on the last night. Mom splurged and bought us all tickets to a magic show. It was pretty exciting.

The kids all got balloons. Most of them didn't last very long, but they sure were excited.

Us sisters all dressed up for the night out and we were not even planning on matching as well as we did. I know I'm a big fat momma but remember I am 6 mo. pregnant.


Mom had a big suite comped. It was very nice. Mataya and Tanlie enjoyed serving everyone from the bar.



Here we are enjoying laying out at the pool.





Tylee was scared to death of the fish and wouldn't get in the pool but she did swim by the chairs in the water and played harder than anyone there.




It's kind of hard to see but Mataya is in the pool by the aquarium that is full of sharks and different fish. There is a hydro slide that goes through the fish tank.








Here is one of the fish swimming right by us.






The girls waiting for the pool to open.








The first night the kids all slept in the living room area that had 2 couch beds. They enjoyed watching a movie together.







Trip to Colorado

The Barney Clan met in Grand Junction CO. We had a good time just visiting with Kris and Kristy who we get to see only about once a year. We stayed 2 nights in a motel where the kids had a great time just playing ping-pong and swimming. We also went to the park, Chucky Cheese, and was going to a big water park slide but we got rained out, so instead we went to the mall shopping with Natashia.
Here are all the cousins. We are missing just about all of Curtis and Cindy's family, because both boys are on missions and Mandy and her husband couldn't make it.

Here are my cute girls. I had to take this picture because they were all in the same color and I hadn't even planed it.



Mataya and Tylee at the park



Since we got rained out of the water park, Grandma Barney had all the kids go to dairy queen where she bought them whatever treat they wanted. Little did she know they all picked some pretty expensive treats.





Natashia and Chelsie and DQ




Trey enjoying his blizzard.






This is Clint enjoying himself.
















They had some cool trees that were like huts. This is Tyce at the top of one of the trees.












Tylee by the trees.







Trying to catch Fish in the pond.

Tylee loves to swing. Aunt Cindy was nice enough to take her over and push her.

What has been going on.

I've been so busy I haven't had time to take any pictures but I'll write a short paragraph to say what we have been up to. The kids have been busy with baseball. Tyce play on both the 11-12 yr old and the 13 year old team so he has either practice or a game every night. Just the other night he had a double header and in the two games hit 3 home runs. Trey plays with the 9-10 year olds and is also doing a great job with pitching and hitting. Mataya plays coach pitch and just enjoys being with her friends and helping her dad and I run the snack shack. Tylee just runs around like a lost orphan. Tyce and Trey also just competed in the annual district track meet where Tyce took 3 first (shot put, high jump and broke the record in discus.) Trey also got 2 firsts and a 3rd place in his events. Great job boys! Natashia has been extra busy trying to work and finish up with school. They had the awards assembly just the other night where she got awards for 5 out of her 7 classes. She is a straight A student and we are very proud of her.

For Mothers day I had to work Saturday night but on Sunday Natashia and Clint woke me up and had dinner all ready for not just me but all the clan(my mom, aunt Coleen, grandpa and grandma Henrie, and Chet's family.) They cooked steak, mushrooms, bake potatoes, green salad, fruit salad and rolls. They even had pie and ice cream for dessert. The day turned out wonderful. I'm very grateful I have such a wonderful husband and kids. My mom gave me a solar light butterfly that changes colors that I put in the rock garden. I was so excited about it Clint and the kids bought me about 5 more. I'll have to post a picture, they look so cute.

The Beach

Our last day of our vacation we spent at the Beach. It was actually a very nice day. The kids didn't come out of the water purple.
Tylee enjoyed digging in the sand. She hated the water.

Natashia trying out the waves.



The kids spent hours in the water.



Tyce digging.



Mataya probably had the funnest of everyone. She just loves everything. She ran around collecting sea shells.












Disney land

Tylee poses for a picture in California Adventure.

Tylee's favorite ride!



Mataya went on too many roller coasters!



I even rode the horses. A whole family affair. You can tell it is about 12:00 am









On Sunday the older kids and Clint went to the Boston Red socks game. They sure did enjoy themselves. During the first inning there was a big fight. Me and the 2 little girls spent the day at Disney Land going on all the small rides. I spoiled them with mouse ears.







It's a small world







The tea cups







waiting in line









river rapid ride. Waiting for the kids to come down.










Every night we did stay for the fireworks. It was my favorite part. Here is the castle at night.











Tylee looking so cute.












Waiting for the parade














I got to go with Tylee on all the kiddy rides.
