I can't wait to get my new camera. This picture wasn't the best. 2010 has flown by so
fast. We had some big first in 2010. Zach first birthday and Kailey's first year of full day pre-k, Kailey's first year of swimming lessons, Kailey's first dentist apt. that surprised Kailey had 6 cavities and now she doesn't fight me to brush her teeth. Zach got to go swimming at the water park for the first time. Zach went to his first carnival and loved it. Zach had his first Easter, Valentines Day, St Patrick Day, 4th of July. Zach had his first rodeo. Zach got his first haircut. Kailey started her first year of soccer. Kailey also joined Girl Scouts for the first time. We had a lot of first this year. It was a very memorable year and we are so blessed. We also had some big moments in 2010.We had Kailey big 5th birthday party. Zach learned to crawl and walk. Kailey learned how to swim. We all went to our first 3-d movie together as a family and we did our first family Relay for Life. Mike started a new job and loves it and I started this blog and love being able to document my kiddos days. We did go on our first family mini vacation to the city. We got new carpet, that was a very good highlight of the year. This year has some not so fun times. I had a tumor removed, Mike got electrocuted, the kids have been sick with about every bug this year, from pink eye to ear infections to uti. Zach is suffering second time of being really sick this year, with a stomach virus and congestion. Ear infections has been our worst thing with the kids this year. Kailey has even had a few and she has never had any problems. Kailey had to have her kidneys looked at because she has had so many uti's but everything turned out good and she hasn't had one for awhile. Just say we will have a huge 2010-2011 tax deduction for medical bills.
I haven't decided if I am going to make any resolutions only to get some things done. First I am so excited that I am going to print my blog into a book. This is the last post that I am going to do for 2010 and then I am going to see how many months I can get into a book. I am finally going to get me a new camera. I want to get back into scrap booking, I am SO behind. I want to get back into the gym and I want my Scrapblock bus. to really work out and me be able to manage my time with the kids and doing my Scrapblocks and other crafts. I want try to get back to my organized self and get motivated to have a healthier, wealthier, and happier new year.
Happy New Year!!!
Love The Barnes
Looks like Santa made it to our house after all. Kailey was really concerned that he wouldn't come because her and her brother wasn't to good. She said that they fight to much. I have to agree but Santa came anyways.
Christmas morning with the kiddos. Even though they went to bed late, they were up at 7:30 a.m. wanting to open the gifts.
Kailey got her new Barbie Bike
Zach got his new fire truck.
"Secret Santa" got her an ipod touch. Just say she is very spoiled by this person. However I think Mike has been playing on it more than she has. He says he is downloading games for her but I don't think she knows how to play the football game that was downloaded.
Kailey's pillow pet that she thought Santa didn't get her. She was pretty worried and then she was upset when Noah opened his. But we found hers and she loved it.
Zach and his new pillow pet.
Kailey's Video Barbie.
Zach had fun playing with Lilly and Roxy and the wrapping paper.
Zach and Dad reading a book before the gift opening started.

Kailey final gift that she ask from Santa. Her nicu medical doll. She loves playing doctor.
Zach and Mason and their new rides.
Kailey and her friend Lori eating nachos.
Miss Cooper another good friend that Kailey always talks about.
Kailey wanted to make sure I took pictures of all her friends in her class so she would have pictures. The kids weren't shy either, they all wanted there picture taken.
The class played musical chairs. It was funny watching Pre-k students play, they really play by the rules because they would get upset if they lost so they just went around in a circle and no one lost because we never took at chair away.
Sunday we our Christmas service. The kids actually took good pictures before church. Kailey had to have me make her dress. So I was up until midnight making it because I wanted to the last minute hoping Kailey would just pick one out at the store but she threw a fit and wanted me to make her dress. She really wanted me to make her a Mrs. Claus dress but I told her that I would us leopard print instead. She was okay with that.
My precious kiddos. They both have grown up so much this past year.

Me and the kiddos.
Kailey and Santa.
Zach wasn't to sure this time with Santa. But he never cried. Kailey told Santa the same thing she wanted a Justin Bieber doll, Barbie bike, pillow pet, and medical doll. I think Santa granted her wish. However, not sure we are going to survive Christmas break, the kids fought all day today and its only the first day of the break. 
Zach didn't know what to think of the the first snow. He sat and watched the snow wanting to go outside but it didn't snow much so we stayed inside where it was warm. Santa is getting him a snow suit for Christmas so maybe we will get a good fun snow to play in.
Hello Nana.... Zach can say no, Nana, sissy, momma, da, wow, oh, Ash, Lily. I think that is it. I have been trying to have his say baba but he just points and makes a grunting noise. 
Will teething ever end? He has been teething since 4 months and still is teething. He has 8 lower teeth and 9 upper teeth last count. He likes to chew on wood. I guess he inherited it from his Dad. You should see his crib. Zach does so many things I wouldn't think he would do sometimes I think he might be a dog. He likes dog food, he gets in trash now that I have to put it on the counter, he rolls out the toilet paper, he gets into the toilet, loves playing in the water and making a huge mess, he chews on his toys and bits his sister. I guess the saying a dogs is a mans best friend is said for a reason. 
Zach loves making truck noise. It is amazing that you don't have to teach them and sounds they just do it. I try to make truck noises but Zach makes them better than me.
Tuesday we had our first snow of the year. It wasn't much but the kids were very excited about it. Not to excited that I wouldn't let them go outside in play. They both have colds, Zach with a double ear infection again and Kailey with a bad cold that has caused her to missed 1 1/2 days of school. Kailey really wanted to go outside, she wanted to eat the snow. I really don't care that she eats the snow but I would rather her not. I had to lock the front door because she keep doing outside, but she out smarted me and snuck out the back door. 
Let it Snow
But it soon ended and just got enough to dust the yards. I got Zach a snow suit so hopefully we will be able to use it before he grows out of it. The snow as brought sickness to our house with colds and stomach bugs. I believe this is going to be a long winter as Kailey is already going crazy staying inside out of the cold. So the attitudes are flying and snot is running in this house. Oh how I love Winter.
