The Barnes Family

EVERYONE loves the Barnes family.:D

What’s not to love?

Mom and Dad Barnes, you did good.

First of all, there’s the delightful Megan and her charming Nate.  Megan’s gorgeous face (and perfectly pregnant belly!) have appeared on the blog before…

Stella is a big sister now!

Look who’s outta the belly!  It’s Sam!

And then there’s Seth. From high school and beyond, Seth’s always been “Class Favorite”.  He’s just that kind of guy.  Lucky for him, he ended up finding a favorite of his own – the lovely Michelle.

Annie is all sugar and spice…maybe a little heavy on the spice.;) Work it, little miss!

Luke!  With those eyes, and his little streak of mischief, he’s got it made in the shade.

American Idol, Revisited

 

We’re American Idol fans in this house. I mean really, who isn’t?

As I sit with my little man Parker and watch the first episodes of American Idol Season 9, I can’t help but bump up this post from last year. Parker’s infatuation with “the singing show” appears to be resurfacing, so please stayed tuned for potential audition tapes from him in the weeks to come.:)  (It is worth mentioning that these songs were ENTIRELY his spur-of-the-moment creation. Never before, and never since, have I experienced such random musical hilarity from this boy)

After last season, Parker talked about “the two Davids” for MONTHS, and I thought he was going to lose it completely when he recognized David Cook on a commercial that aired during AI last week. (”Mom! Mom! But wwwwhy does he wear make up? Is that David a womens?”)

He has now decided that it is incredibly entertaining to act out the audition process. Over. And over. And over. The clips below will introduce you to Jason, Jarett, and Peyton, as well as their original audition songs – instant classics such as, “Rock and Roll my Life”, “Everything is Red”, and “So Much Girls in my Party”.

Matt, dearest, see what you have been missing by working late every night? When you get home, I wonder if he’ll make you be Simon or Paula? (I’m holding down the Randy right now, so back off.)

 

Please note the half-naked baby prissing around. Such cuteness demands to be noted.

“Rock and Roll my Life”

“Everything is Red”

“So Much Girls in my Party”

Wicked! Jarett is particularly fantastic, and now I have “Everything is red, everything is red, all my pants, all my foots, all my eyes, all my earrings…” stuck in my head. Very catchy! Rock on P-Bo, rock on, dawg! Oh and Bailey is flipping ADORABLE. But she already knows that. ;-) I’m *so* glad you blogged today, Janica…you are awesome!

Christie LacyJanuary 18, 2010 - 8:09 am

Oh my goodness me! I stopped over because your bestie Elizabeth mentioned you the other day! What a fun treat, this blog post! so so cute!

LizardJanuary 18, 2010 - 2:24 pm

What a year has done for Bailey’s figure! Parker you crack me up! It was great to see you guys this morning. Josh has been asking for another pizza night. We should do it again soon.

Stacey PotterFebruary 4, 2010 - 1:03 pm

We call her Billy and she’s our Bailey

Happy 2nd birthday, my perfect little one.
