Unique Jewelry

I found this site today with this really cool, unique, handmade jewelry. I love jewelry and this really caught my eye. I think they would make precious sentimental pieces with your kids name on them. If hubby will let me, I'm ordering.

Happy Anniversary Kris!!!

Happy Anniversary!!!

May 19th was Kris and I's 8th anniversary. I really cannot believe we have been married 8 years. We started dating when I was 15 years old. We dated on and off until we married. I can honestly say when I married Kris, I married my best friend. I love him so much more today than the day we married. Thank you Kris for a wonderful 8 years. I look forward to many many more.

Barnett's on the Beach!!!!

Anna, Blake, and Benjamin were at the beach a few days while we were down. They stayed just a few minutes down the road, so it was nice being able to see Ben on the beach for the first time. Anna found out yesterday she is expecting a baby boy in Oct. Boys are beginning to rule our family......and I am getting baby fever!!!!!!!!

Blake was so good with the boys on the beach. They love Blake!!!
Ben Ben on the beach!!!

More Beach Pictures

Marmee with the boys on the beach. Marmee was brave enough to endure a week at the beach with us. I adore my mom. The boys adore my mom. Kris adores my mom. So everyone was thrilled she was able to vacation with us. She was a huge help cooking, helping with boys, keeping up with the laundry, and a wonderful shopping buddy!!! Thanks so much mom. We love you so much!!!!!!!!

Hamilton hunting for shells!!

Hamilton and Samuel
Mr. Beach!!
My sweet little Jack Jack. He was too cute on the beach. He did whatever his brothers did.

2008 Seagrove, FL Beach Trip

Jack loved the beach this year. The boys were really at the perfect age. No baby on the hip, everyone could walk to the beach and even help carry a load. Wonderful trip!!!!!!
Sam did fantastic!!! I was so worried he would not feel well and enjoy his time there. He proved me wrong. He loves the waves, surf, and just being in the water. We had our annual putt putt outing and Samuel was simply hilarious. He really was the life of the party.....as always!!!!
Hamilton had a great time as well. He loved looking for shells, playing in the sand, walking on the beach, flying his kite, fishing......this list goes on. He literally had a check list of everything he wanted to do while we were there. We made sure everything was checked off the list before we left for home. He is so grown up and can basicly do for himself now, which made having them out of there space so much easier.
Mommy enjoying the boys on the beach!!!

Hamilton Surrenders His Heart to Jesus!!!

Last night around 8:15 I got the best Mother's Day present any mother could ask for. Hamilton and I got on our knees in my bathroom and he prayed to receive Christ. I began praying while he was still in the womb that he would come to know and love Christ at an early age. I had no idea it would be at the tender age of 5. We are rejoicing with the angels in heaven over his saved soul. I hope to tell the whole story soon. What is crazy is, I was saved on Mother's day when I was 9 years old. We now celebrate the same spiritual birthday.

When he got up this morning, the first thing he said is "I am going to heaven"!!!!!!!
God is so good.
He is so faithful.
We are so thankful!!!!

Hamilton Surrenders His Life to Christ!!!!!

Three Sick Babies!!

Sick babies
with Daddy!!!




Last Thursday night Jack began running fever (103). For days he ran fever with no other symptoms. Finally the congestion set in with a nasty cough. Then Saturday, Sam was the next victim along with a kidney episode. Monday we end up at the doctor with them. Samuel had an x-ray and ultrasound of his kidneys. Praise God, they both looked good. As far as the fever and congestion, we were told it is viral and just has to run it's coarse. We thought we had dodged a bullet with Hamilton, but yesterday he started complaining and told me to take his temp. Of coarse, he had almost 102. CRAZY!!! They all three have been troopers. Mommy is ready for 3 well babies again.

Thank you Grandaddy!!!!!!

We have the best Grandaddy in the world. Kris's dad drove up for the weekend a few weeks ago to help us build a raised garden bed. It turned out perfect.

Mamma's Stud!!! He loves a job to do. He waters and checks the garden daily!!!
Grandaddy built the raised bed in no time, but he probably would have finished in half the time if he had not had two little helpers!!
Grandaddy was so patient and took time to explain what he was doing and why it had to be done that way. At one point, Hamilton was reading the level.
Mommy is so bad. I would do anything in the world to bring joy to my children. Soooo, I purchased a watermelon from Walmart and put it by the watermelon plant. And yes, my boys now think the watermelon plant is magic.

Funeral Home Funnies

My oldest sister is CRAZY!!! She really is alot of fun. She called me this afternoon cracking up laughing. She begin to tell me the funniest story......she is a minister's wife. So naturally that means tons of funeral home visits. Anytime anyone in the church dies, or their family member dies, or any of their friends die (you get the point) Jennifer and Frank are obligated to atleast make an appearance at the funeral home.

This evening she was going to the funeral home for a viewing of a family member of a church member. So she gets to the funeral home, signs the book, and is greeted by a crying family member. If you know Jennifer, she plays the part well, so she begins to console and tear up herself. So after telling the crying family member who she is and that she is sorry for the family's loss she makes her way into "view the body". When she gets to the casket, it has an engraved deer head on it, and she is realizing she hasn't seen a familiar face. She looks down at the write up about the man she is viewing she realizes it is the WRONG MAN. She is suppose to be seeing Denis Lindsey, she is looking at JAMES LEE. She said she put her head down and got the heck out of there.

So to the family of James Lee....the crazy person signing your book and consoling your grieving family members....that's my sister.
