Not so Lazy Days of Summer

This summer has been one of the busiest summers in a long time. We’ve been to 5 lakes and 1 river in 5 weeks, 3 weddings/receptions, and have done quite of bit of swimming.

15 Month Well Baby Visit

Chase had his well baby visit which included shots and a weigh in. Everything looked good; especially his ears (Praise the Lord!). He weighed 24 lbs. and was 30 1/4 inches long. He is starting to wonder about that place, I think he’s remembering the shots.


He Loves playing outside!! His little car rolls down the end of the driveway, with him laughing all the way. (Don’t worry, MiMi, we watch for cars first)


June 4

We had a shower at Myra’s for newlyweds Drew and Stacie. Chase had a great time in the pool once Daddy got in. Guess momma wasn’t letting him swim and jump as good as Daddy. He sure didn’t want to get out of the pool.


June 5

We went out to Piney Bay with some friends from church. Chase had his first boat ride and tube ride. He loved the boat, but wasn’t too sure about tubing. I guess it will be a little while before he enjoys getting thrown off the tube and end up with a couple of dozen bruises like his momma.

June 12

We went up to Rogers for my sister-in-law’s wedding. It was a small wedding for immediate family at St. Vincent de Paul Church and then we went out to Beaver Lake on the HUGE party barge. Luckily, the roar of the motor put Chase to sleep for a couple of hours, because it was a while before we could get out and swim. He had fun swimming with his cousins and then hanging out with the family for a post-wedding cookout.



June 17
Chase took his first long road trip with Momma, Aunt Julie, Cousin Lillie, Mimi, and G.Aunt Linda. He did pretty well on the road, especially with the portable DVD player. We went to a baby shower for my cousin Justin and his wife Tabitha who are expecting their first child, a boy, due in August. We went to a beautiful home North of Dallas for a pool party/shower, spent the night at a hotel, and drove back the next day.I just needed to have a couple of days off work and it was nice to go visit family.



June 19

Just as we got back home, Robert and I took another road trip to Rogers for a friend’s wedding.It was the first night I have ever spent without Chase. Mimi, Julie and Lillie came and he did just fine. Momma did fine, too.We came back early the next day, since most of the stores didn’t open until noon anyway.


June 26

Third lake of the summer was Lake DeGray. It sure was hot! We went down for a family reunion on Robert’s side. We swam a while in the swimming area, but we are sure to spend more time down there in the future since Chase’s great Pa-paw lives really close. Can’t wait til he gets old enough to do a little fishing with his Daddy and Pa-paw.We even got to swing through Uncle Bob’s for Hamburger night, a Barrett family tradition, on the way home.


June 27

Maw-maw and Paw-paw got a new blow up pool and Chase loved playing in it while it started to fill up.He’ll get a lot more chances to swim this summer!



Well, that about wraps up June. I wish I had posted this sooner so I could write a little more about what was going on, but oh well.  The summer post turned out longer than I thought so I will try to wrap up month by month until I catch up, which will probably be never...
