1st "real" family photo shoot...

one of my bestest and dearest friends, tara and her hubby chris were nice enough to use their vacation days and come visit the barretts! we had such a grand time...omie and poppy kept the lil livster and we were able to sneak away to chicago for 2 days! tara has always been the one friend we could all count on to have her camera and snap fabulous pics and we are so excited she's started her own photography business and is doing just an AMAZING job! we had the honor of her being our personal photographer all weekend long and she just captured our family! it was like we were tom or katie, or bradgelina...and anne levowitz moved in for a couple days...
minus the professional make-up artists and photoshop...
scroll down for our slideshow... warning... there's A LOT!

enjoy! and thanks T!

bad news bears...

here's a little word of wisdom from erin... NEVER under any circumstances.. eat a FIBER ONE bar & drink a cup of coffee for breakfast..go on a 2 hour powerwalk, eat a McDonalds cheeseburger..and then proceed to be in public. it could very well result in "THE MOST HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFE." i'll spare you the details, but just trust me on this one.
enjoy your day! xoxo, e.

my birthday weekend...




well my 28th birthday was saturday and the best part about it is the fact i HONESTLY thought it was my 29th. i've thought i was 28 this whole last year when it's really only been a day! fabulous! it's like i got a "free" year... we didnt make any big weekend plans... one of my bestest friends, tara and her husband chris are flying in from texas next weekend and we are going to chicago..so im saving up our REALLY fun time for then.. anyway, i awoke sat morning to breakfast in bed and just spent q-time with dutch and liv all weekend. of course we had to throw some yardwork and chores in there...but for some odd reason i actually like doing yardwork.. what is wrong with me? i just love seeing the reward.. liv helped me plant new flowers in the pots and she "talked" with the birds for hours..the weather was beautiful. she has changed just in the last few days...it looks like she has rubberbands around her ankles, i love it.
