Happy 12th Birthday, Trent!!!

On October 5th, 1999 my life as a new it changed forever.... After a night in labor, Joseph Trenton Barfield was born at 10:49am... Trent, you have become a mother's dream. You are so kind, considerated, handsome, funny, smart... the perfect son... Dad and I love you so much....

We celebrated with a big party the night before the Pig/Dig.... He had 12 of his closest friends over... Those boys had so much fun....

Happy 15th Anniversary to us!!

On August 17, 1996 Brett and I said our "I Do's". This year we decided that it was time to take a vacation with just the two of us... With Brett nervous of flying I was shocked when I discovered that he planned our anniversary trip to HAWIAII!! Wow! He actually planned every detail! Thanks Delta.... I was nervous on how our our trip would go because let's face it... we hardly ever go anywhere just the two of us that isnt more than a two hour dinner.... After 17 years together, 2 kids and fulltime jobs our time together has taken a back seat. It was a wonderful vacation. Dream like! We stayed at a resort called Napili Point. It was relaxing.  

 I was often mistaken for a local. lol. We bought some clothes trying to fit in....

 Even Brett got into the Hawaiin theme....

 This is the beautiful sunrise outside our window...

 We drove around the island. It was amazing.....

Klesko Night!

It's that time of year again! I know last year I was to say goodbye to him... but of course I just couldn't. An old habit is hard to break. So... Heather and I were off to the Braves Outdoorsmen Night to meet up with Ryan and his buddies......I know I look like a dork... that's ok... I'm an old married person....lol

 Here he is signing my un I mean Trent's autograph book!  He did also sign our picture from last year... (seen on the left)

 He was so gracious to yet... pose for another picture... I tried so hard to lean into him without being detected but just couldn't....haha....

Sweet Abby

 I wept today as we all learned of the passing of Sweet Abby Smith. She will be forever remembered in our hearts. Through her 5 year journey with cancer she has taught so many people the true meaning of life. Fly sweet girl, fly.....

First Day of school

I can't believe that my baby boy is a middle schooler... So sad.. I think I was more nervous than he was. I turned out to be a good day!

 This was a picture that Ms. Iddings, Alyssa's Second grade teacher had displayed on the board. Isnt that a cute idea!

 She was soooooo ready to start school. I know that will change one day though...
