I Wanna Be A Cowboy

So the other day at breakfast Barrett looks at me and says, "Mom, when I grow up I wanna be a cowboy." I give him a crooked head look and say, "A real cowboy with a horse or an Oklahoma State Cowboy?" He says, "An Oklahoma State Cowboy." Music to my ears. I give him knuckles and then he says, "And a real cowboy.....both." That made me smile. That's his first declaration of what he wants to be when he grows up. Cute.

Barrett's Romance

So, our church had their annual beach baptism this weekend. My friend Tara was there with her 2 little girls, Faith about 7, and Hope 3. Danni and Barrett know them pretty well since we do a lot of stuff with them. Barrett has always sort of acted like he was a little sweet on Faith. I don't blame him because she is a very cute girl. At the beach the two of them were inseparable. They literally played all day. At one point Barrett came up to Chris and asked him, "Daddy, is this a pretty shell? I want to give Faith a pretty shell" Chris says, "sure, it's pretty." Barrett replies, "mmmm, well, maybe I'll just keep it then."

Guess he hasn't reached the point of going ALL OUT to impress a girl yet....and I'm ok with that!
