Camping

This weekend we went camping at Dollar Lake with the Millers. The kids had a great time as did the parents!

The drive there. So much stuff to take! Naomi is hiding behind that booster seat.Bekah & I hanging out while Jamin & the kids set up the tent.

The next day we went to the park and the adults had some time to play some games too.

Yup, we had a great time, but that's good for me for this year! Camping in a tent with three kids under five went really well, but it's also pretty tiring. All worth it though.....

Wildlife Park

Today we took the kids to the local wildlife park. We usually go every summer and the kids love it! The prices are really reasonable ($8.50 for our whole family). There are lots of different animals there, but their favorite thing to do is feed the ducks.

Here I am with Naomi & Micah. We spent a lot of time by the ducks here.

Jamin's back to work tomorrow after being off all last week. We had a great vacation. Don't you just love the summer time?

Thinking about coming back....

I've been thinking about blogging again. I'm kind of getting bored with facebook and miss having my blog to look back on.

Hmm.....

And the winner is........

Sharon Armour! (Sharon is in my Wednesday morning bible study group. Perhaps she had an advantage seeing my belly every week!)

She guessed:

1. Girl
2. Feb 13th
3. 9lbs 5 oz
4. 2pm
5. 22 inches

Here are the actuals:

1. Girl
2. Feb. 13
3. 8lbs 15 oz
4. 10:07 am
5. 22.25 inches

She did pretty good!! Congrats, Sharon!! I know you said you don't like Timmy's, so maybe we can work something else out :)

Prize

FYI, the prize will be a $10 Timmy's gift card. Most of you are near a Timmy's (sorry Margaret...).

Baby Barrett #3 Predictions

If you're a long time Barrett blog reader, you may remember when we took predictions for Naomi's & Micah's due dates, etc. I'm holding the same contest again for Baby Barrett #3! There are about 2.5 weeks until our expected due date, February 10th. Here are the items to predict:

1) gender: girl or boy?
2) birth date/time: that's basic...what day will the baby be born and at what time? be sure to specify am or pm
3) weight & height: how much will this little one weigh and how long will s/he be?

So, place your bets and when it's all said & done we'll announce the winner. (Let's see if Giselle or Peter wins again!!)

You must place your guess by January 29th. If you are reading this through Facebook, please go to www.jaminandsarah.com and place your official bet there. Happy guessing!!!

Here is the scoring system that will be used again:

1. Boy/Girl - 3 points for correct
2. Date - 3 points for correct, 2 points for 1 day off, 1 point for 2 days off
3. Weight - 3 points for correct, 2 points for within 3 oz, 1 point for within 6 oz
4. Time - 3 points for within 1/2 hr, 2 points for within 1 hr, 1 point for within 3 hr
5. Length - 3 points for correct, 2 points for within 1/2 in, 1 point for within 1 in

In case of a tie, whoever is correct for #1 will win, if tie persists proceed to #2 and so on until the tie is broken. If we reach #5 and for some freakish reason there is still a tie, we will award both precipitants as winners!

Stay tuned for details on the prize....

I'll be back...eventually..

As you may have noticed, I have been taking a blogger break. Just haven't felt motivated to blog lately. My plan is to take a little break, and likely start up again later. We'll see if I miss doing it/you miss reading it....
