Dirt movers

When we woke up this morning I decided we would have one of those days....I put on Levi's tie-dyed Joe's Crab Shack onesie, Amelia was wearing her tie-dyes shirt and we were going to relax and just play all day long.
Then I got the phone call...Mrs. Barbee we are going to come today and do the grading work on your front yard. Oh really you were supposed to come tomorrow when my father-in-law could be here to make sure you do it right this time. Well we need to come today. Okay we will be here all day...ughhhhh.
So they came and right now they are tearing up both of my driveways and my front yard. They almost dug up my antique irises hand raised by my great grandmother, because they thought they were grass---with purple flowers on them? PLEASE!!!! I have had to move Amelia Grace's birthday party to another location because I can't have people coming to my house with my yard, that was full of green grass, looking like this.
Oh okay I have got to go the dirt movers MUST BE SUPERVISED!!!!

This is our life.....

This is the story of our life.....as it goes on from this moment on....we will include inportant milestones in our family and in our children's lives. Day to day adventures in the Barbee house...ups and downs...bottoms and tops. If you want to keep up with what we are doing as a family, we welcome you our friends........the adventure will now begin!!!

Big Daddy Bones

Meet "J", he is the best husband and daddy hands down. He is a strong man, who works hard for his family. He is passionate about God, his family and his friends. Most of the time he can be found spending time with Gracie and Bones. He enjoys hunting, fishing and anything outdoors. He has a voice that can bring calm in any situation, and a personality that makes you know you are safe and protected. His passionate heart, his deep love and commitment to his family never cease to amaze me. I stand in awe at the awesome husband that GOD has blessed me with, he is my best friend, the Daddy of our children, my confidant, and my biggest fan. He sees in me a better person than I would ever see in myself, he is the beat of my heart!

Sweet Momma Bones

I am a true believer in God's Perfect Grace, His Unyeilding Mercy, His Neverending Peace, and His Most Compassionate Love for His children. I am a Mommy, Wife, Homeschool Teacher, Cake Baker, Business Owner, and Child of the Most High God. I love my husband to the very depths of my heart, he is my very best friend. I love my children "high as the sky to the moon and back". My children are truly blessings sent from God in Heaven. I love God and my family and the absolute fact of knowing that they love me in spite of myself, makes me certain that I am cherished....and truly BLESSED!

Gracie

This is our daughter, AG. She goes by Sweet Pea most of the time, a name given to her by her Daddy the moment she was born. She has her Daddy's chocolate brown eyes and his daring personality. She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, loving and helpful, and persisitent and strong willed just like her Mommy. She is a quick learner, and sometimes just too smart for her own good. She loves learning new things, her current aspirations are sewing, cursive writing and sign language. Her smile will brighten any day and most of the time when she says, "Mommy" or "Daddy" it is simply followed by the words, "I Love You". She is one beat of our heart!

Bones

This is our son, Baby L. He will always be Baby L even when he is towering over most of us at a predicted 6 ft. 5 in. tall. He has his Daddy's eyelashes and his dimple, and a smile that will simply melt your heart. He is our cuddle bunny, and loves to give hugs and kisses. He has his Mommy's independent spirit and his own way of doing things. He loves to watch Scooby Doo and he's a pirate at heart. He loves all things boy, hot wheels cars, rocks, and leaves. He is a handsome young man, who dares to wear a "mohawk" on most days, I can only pray he grows up to be the kind of man his Daddy is. He is our son, and if you know our story, you will understand when I say, "He was well worth the wait". He is the other beat of our heart!
