2 Year Wedding Anniversary!


Yup, we have been married for two years now and it has been the best two years of my life!!! Sunday April 25 was our official Anniversary but we celebrated on friday with dinner and a movie. Something we have not done in a long time. Well, we have done both of them just not in the same night. Lets recap the past two year:
Married in the Salt lake temple
Graduated BYU (Sociology for me, and Biology for Tanner)
Holidays with family
Accepted to louisville, KY Dental school
A beautiful baby boy we named Blake!!! which is of course the best of all!
There has been many more exciting things that have happened to us, but those are the things i can think of off the top of my head. I am so excited for many more years together!

1st Hair Cut!



Blake got his first hair cut on saturday! The hair around his ear's were getting so long, but the rest of his hair was staying short around the rest of his head! So friday night i took some scissors and cut the hair around his ears, but it didn't go quite that smooth. I sat him on the counter and gave him something to play with. When i was about to cut he turned his head to look at me to see what i was doing. The whole time i just tried to work around him to get to the spots that needed to be cut. By the end he had spilt a pitcher of water all over the counter (and was playing in it), hair was everywhere and he looked like a martian! I have no idea how to cut hair! ha ha it wasn't that bad because he only has like two hairs and its blond, but it was bad to me. Tanner was getting his hair cut on saturday anyway so we took blake in and the lady cut Blake's hair too. Blake did very well and didn't cry at all! Tanner put Baby einstein on his phone and blake watched it when he wasn't trying to see what the barber was doing to his head! It was funny to watch!

A day with Blake!

what do you say about this video? what a crazy boy!
I don't know why he's eating his toes and i don't know why he's mad about it! i promise i feed my kid, he actually just ate! He's so funny!

He's not smiling much in this video but he usually does when we do this with him. I must have got the camera out too late and he was sick of it. Tanner comes up with the best/funniest ideas to entertain our son!

Yup blake can climb the stairs, but he cant walk or even stand for very long on his own. Is that normal? He can climb the whole flight of stairs when we let him. He's pretty good about not trying to go down the stairs yet, but don't worry we have gates around the house.

Its so fun to be a mom and see how fast babies grow up! I love my family and my life and can't believe how much love and satisfaction it brings!

Happy 1st Easter!

We had a great Easter sunday! it was great being able to watch conference and then spend time with family. In the Barratt home the easter bunny hides all of the easter baskets and leaves clues around the house so we can find them.

The Easter Bunny left blake lots of fun toys and a beautiful basket!
Fun with dad outside!
look at those cheeks!
Big boys can stand up!
Blake loved his easter basket!

9 months

Here's blake helping me with the laundry:) I went out of the room for a second and when i came back blake had found my laundry. He was 9 months on march 26 and a big boy, big enough to help unload the basket.
Blake had his 9 month checkup. The doctor said that everything looks perfect. Blake is 18lbs 2oz (15%) and 28 1/2 inch long (58%) Head Circumference 17 1/2.
