Which do you like?

So TJ and I are getting a new car. I'm torn between the Ford Edge and the Jeep Patriot. The Edge is a little more expensive but much roomier. The Patriot gets a little bit better gas mileage, but not much only a mile or two more per gallon. The Patriot is really small, we would have to get a new car again in a few years if we got it, but the way that gas prices are looking I just can't decide. What do you think?

Its Coming....

The annual Barber Family Barbie-Q is coming up,Get your barbies ready!

Every Year my family gets together and has a Barbie-Q, we take barbies and strap them to fireworks and light them off. It works best with the dollar Barbies from All a dollar. Its kinda strange but my family has made it into an art. We don't just light off barbies, every barbie has an occupation, such as Statue of Liberty Barbie with a sparkler crown and a torch made of flower fireworks. Or there was Astronaut Barbie who had a rocket pack, plus a devil and an angel. Sounds wierd but don't knock it till you've tried it.

Zoo Day!

Yesterday was the annual Granny Birthday Trip to the Zoo. We had so much fun. The weather was perfect, we got to see everything while it was sunny and warm. It started to get cloudy as we were leaving. I think it is really neat how Hogle Zoo is trying to update everything. There are lots of new exhibits and a new GIANT carousel. You can ride on any animal imaginable. We also got to see the White Alligator, I've seen it a few times before but it still creeps me out. Thanks Granny! Can't wait to go again next year

Counting down the days!

I'm so excited we go to Washington DC in a few days! I haven't been on vacation since we went to Disneyland a few years ago. My grandparents are coming with us, I love going on "Grandpa Melvy Trips"!!!

Happy Birthdays...

Today is Addison's Half Birthday! I can't believe how fast time has gone. She is already trying to pull herself up on her knees. Before I know I she will be crawling. She started saying "Da-da" yesterday. That pretty much all she mumbles now, "da-da-da-da-da-da-da". I was so excited I called TJ at work, he said she had been doing it on and off for the last day or so. He didn't want to tell me cause he thought it would hurt my feelings that she said "da-da" first. He's so funny sometimes. Poor little girl, she still has an ear infection, she just yanks on her ears. I know that they hurt, but she has been so good through it all.

Today is also my Grandma's Birthday. She would have been 83. It is so funny how things change. Happy Birthday Grandma B!

What a crazy life

Life never ceases to amaze me. One day everything can be going just the way you want it too and the next will be the complete opposite. We have been really busy the last week. Last Wednesday my Grandma passed away and in the middle of planning a funeral and taking care of her things Addy got sick. It was a pretty rough week. After a few days of feeling sorry for myself I decided I needed to start looking at my glass a little differently. My Grandmother is in a far better place, a place with no sorrow or heartache, and though it still stings I know that I will be able to see her again. It will be rough... when she's not at the 4th of July "Barbie-Q", or when I don't get a handpicked card for my birthday, especially not being able to go visit her and have her remind me to close the "Snake Door". I miss her but everything is just that way it supposed to be, and thats ok. We are also lucky that up until this point Addy has never been sick, and even with a double ear infection she still her happy little self (sometimes I wish I could be a happy and she is). I am truly blessed.
