Sunday at Grandma Jones'

I already posted pictures from G&G Barkers when we had the birthday party so these are just pictures of Grandma Jones'.


Visit's to G&G Barker


As I said before almost every Sunday since I was little I would spend visiting my grandparents. I love it and it just doesn't feel right when I don't go! Today we had dinner at my Grandma Jones' then went to visit my Grandpa and Grandma Barker. They are so happy when we come to visit and I seriously LOVE going there! They are always waiting to greet us with a big hug and smile, their home is full of love and I feel so safe there. They are always full of fun stories about what they did throughout the week and I am thankful for their example of service. They are so worried about their kids and although they have the means to travel often don't because they are worried one of their kids will need them while they are gone. They are taking a break this next week and going to Arizona for the Easter pagent and are so worried about leaving us for Easter. I told them not to worry and to enjoy themselves! They definately deserve to have some fun and although we will miss them we are SO glad they will be traveling and enjoying that pagent and each other! I love you Grandpa and Grandpa (aren't they the cutest!)

Sunday dinner at grandma's Jones'


So as long as I can remember I've gone to both of my grandparents house's each Sunday after church so it feels like home everytime I go. Today was no different as my grams invited my family over for a birthday dinner at her house. One thing I love as well is the fact that even though her kids are all grown up, she still has each one of them and their families over for dinner on their birthday so today was my dad's turn.

Her house is always so inviting, comfortable and I can just feel the love their! She is always waiting for us, in her cute little apron's that she makes and greets us with a smile! She always has yummy food waiting for us including some kind of meat, some kind of potatoes, some kind of fruit or jello salad, some kind of roll or bread, some kind of vegatable, a delicious drink and a beautiful dessert. It is the best meal! Oh and her table is always set with the most beautiful dishes, table cloths and centerpeices. It is amazing and a lot of what I do when I entertain and cook, I've learned from her. She is such a good example to me and I am so thankful for all she has taught me! Here are some pictures from dinner at her house. Thanks Grams, I love you! Oh and here is a picture of her (doesn't she just look like the perfect Grandma!).

My new car

We finally got a new car this past weekend after sharing a car and saving for a little over 1 year. Right before we got married we decided to do the one car thing and it has worked out great, we have truly enjoyed the extra time we have been able to spend with one another. It has been hard but we were able to save for our new car and put half down. It ended up being a great purchase! We will post pictures soon.

Kip's shoulder

For those of you who know Kip, you know he loves playing basketball. He usually plays every Saturday with a few guys at the church and loves it! Yesterday he played and hurt his shoulder. He was in so much pain yesterday and today. I got him some Tylenol to take and an ICYHOT thing to wear so the pain would go away but he's still in a ton of pain. I feel terrible because there's not a lot I can do but hopefully he get's better. We had Kevin's birthday party yesterday at Chili's and then went to Kev and Cass's afterward, Kip was great to endure the pain and have fun. But we had to get home early so that he could lie down and get feeling better. Today he is a little better but not doing great. I'll keep you updated.

Birthday FUN!

My new schedule

I have a new schedule at work for a while and it's been a life changing event. We have been struggling at work and I was asked to change my shift for a little while to see if I could help. I wasn't to fond of the idea but knew it was something I could do even if it would change life for a little while. With the economy the way it is right now I am SO thankful for my job and I LOVE the company I work for so I am truly happy to do it. I have only done it for the past 2 days but I am enjoying being able to spend time with my employee's and getting to see just how hard their job truly is. I miss Kip because our schedules are way different now and our fun nights we could spend together but I know it won't be this way forever! I am thankful for Kip's support and Marjean (my aunt) who is willing to take me to work in the morning's since I don't have my own car.
