IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!!!

After 9 1/2 long months of waiting, little Samothy Barry finally slept through the night!!!!! 10 straight hours!

You can see how well that worked out for me

Why you so obsessed with me??

I was talking to Selena yesterday as I was editing the latest Brooklynn/Allison video, and she asked, "how do you and Brooklynn always manage to make videos together (I noted some jealousy in her voice, by the way)?" The answer is simple. Devin and I invite Brooklynn over, Devin takes a nap, Brooklynn and I sit and stare at each other until we decide on something to do. Brooklynn and I are pleased to present, The Case of the Clinger.

Remember this?

Ok. So the following video. Selena, you will be so happy about this! So one time Scott and Devin came up to visit Selena and me in our Flagstaff apartment. After a fun-filled day of sledding, we had a dance party in our apartment. Devin decided to be sneaky and set up his camera to catch it on film. We were NOT aware of this...so this is how we really had fun back in the day.

mid-August

Well I can't believe that August is already halfway gone. I am going to be 25 in less than a month. gross.

We haven't really been up to that much lately...Devin and I have been keeping busy with our callings, and Sam is getting bigger and more active by the day. Yesterday we had stake conference and I am grateful we survived the 2 hours. Sam was SO LOUD the entire time. I showed Devin the trick that we can now give Sam cheerios to keep him content. Haha bad idea. Devin is very into being proactive about situations (i.e. if you have a headache take a dang advil already, if you see a bump on your arm you better pop a benadryl, etc.) Any time Sam would make a peep, Dev would search frantically for our little plastic baggie of Cheerios. Needless to say, when Sam was actually sitting in the chapel with us (probably a combined total of 15 minutes), he constantly had a soggy cheerio in his mouth.

My sister, Becca, is getting married in 2 months. She wanted ME to take her engagement pictures!!! Oh man, Selena, I wish you could have seen me. I was totally just trying to think of every pose I have ever seen you do and just copy them. My sister and her fiance are both good-looking, so they weren't a complete disaster...

Here is a picture of my big man Sam! Notice the cute shirt he is wearing. I found it at Kohl's for $1.00 (Thank you, Jennifer Tieman, for guiding me on how to find cheap kids' clothes)!

Here are my two buddies that I spend every day with. Aren't they sweet? Well, the one on the right definitely is.

9 Months Old

Sam is 9 months old today! Here is a short video of a really funny face he's been making lately.

Selena's pictures of Sam

Here are more of the breathtaking pictures Selena took of Sam. When she posted them on her photography blog last night I stared at them for a good half hour. Thank you, Selena, for being so talented.

Andi Barry

Here is a picture of our sweet niece. She and Alli finally got to go home yesterday.
