4th of July--Barrett Style

After the parade, we all drove to Pittsburg, Texas, to have a Barrett Family Reunion. All of my dad's siblings were going to be able to get together and trust me...you don't miss an event like that!



Visiting!


My Papaw



We had a cookout with the works...It was SO HOT outside..but we had a blast visiting with everyone!



He was EVERYWHERE!!!




Having fun on the slide.





Wyatt thought the perfect place to set his cookie would be on Daddy's forehead...whatever works!





My Bathing Beauty







Blowing Bubbles in the pool.







The kids got to play with some of their cousins.







Maddie and the girls (Maddie, Jenna, Madison and Olivia)










The Barrett's (this isn't even close to all of us...6 of my cousin's and their families weren't here and of course my brother )











Maddie snuck away for a while and when I found her she was REALLY enjoying putting on some of Madison's makeup.




Maddie and her cousin's Olivia and Madison....Olivia will be coming to stay with us in about a week.

**We got back to my parents house last night around 9:30pm. We had seen some fireworks on the way home but once we pulled into their driveway they were all around us. Maddie loved watching them and really couldn't get enough of them. We were all sitting their watching them when Maddie said, "The fireworks are going off because they are proud of Jame." In that moment we all remembered what we were celebrating and I do believe the fireworks were going off last night because they were proud of my brother and all the other soldiers who give so selflessly for our freedom.










4th of July Parade

Saturday morning we drove to Waxahachie to see a parade. My mom is a Blue Star Mom and heads up the Ellis County chapter so they were in the parade. We let Maddie ride with Mom and Dad and we watched the parade with Wyatt.


Getting Ready to Go!

Visiting MeeMaw

We had such a great weekend with LOTS of family. We kicked it off Friday evening swimming at MeeMaw and Hal's place and getting to visit with ShaSha and my cousin Ame, her husband Greg and their daughter Sutton (Sutton is 3 months old and I FINALLY was able to meet her!)
