Not much is going on today. Only 3 days and we leave for the beach and I have nothing done. Nick is very busy as it is 92 degrees outside and people do not want to be hot. Kimberlin is napping and enjoying life. Max, Reese, and Dingo ingore her more than anything. Joshua has started spraying his corn and Daddy is working with him. Hope they get a good crop. So ready to get to the beach for some rest and relaxation. Going to take a nap. Have a great day.

We are going to get this blog going again. Alot has been going on in Ammon. Where shall we start? Howard is a good place. He is a captian with the City of Fayetteville Fire Department and farming with Wilson Farms. He had the shingles in his ear in Feb. and still has some balance issues due to this. Fayetteville will not let him fight fire like this, so he is out of work still. He has taken on a new task of taming some wild kittens that we found at Ma's house. He is doing very well with this. The kittens will come to him. Wow, our own Cat whipserer. LOL!! Abby is still working for Cape Fear Orthopedic Clinic and she farms with Farmstown on Facebook. Seems that she has quite a nice farm. Nick is still in business for himself, as All Around Heating and Air. If you need any HVAC work, I know who you can call. Nick and I had a baby on May 04, 2011. Kimberlin Allie Barnes was born at 6:15 pm and weighed 6 pounds 10 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long. She is doing very well. I still work for Mar Vista Group but am on Maternity leave all summer, wow, it sucks. NOT!! Kimerlin and I are going to have a great summer. Joshua (Bubba) is a Lt. with the City of Fayetteville Fire Department and farming with Wilson farms. He and Keri gained custody of Gaberielle in August 2010. Keri is now a stay at home mom who is very busy with everyone needing things done. Gaberielle is in the 1st grade and doing great. She is reading and loves it. That is great. Allyana is preparing to go to Kindergarden the the fall. Right now, she is learing from Gabby. Summer is here and we are all gearing up for fun the in sun and pool and yard and at the beach. Let's have some fun. Hope to do better keeping this updated. Love to all!!

Thanksgiving has come and gone for another year. It was wonderful to see all the family. Everyone is doing well. Gabby and Allayna were at Ma's til yesterday. Nick and I got the shop cleaned out and part of the house clean. It is hard for me as I get tired very quickly but we will get there. Daddy and Josh are trying to get the combines in the field to pick beans but the machine nor the weather will cooperate. Nick had a good day with calls as I have found that people will sweat but they do not want to be cold. OK, I would rather be cold than hot but what ever. All the dogs are doing well. Still sassy. Getting ready to get my christmas tree up this week and then put up Ma's air blown emporium. Got to get it just right as the children love it. Did not do it last year, must get back to tradition. Hope that all is well.

Well, I am on Day 3 of isolation. Bored and feeling like crap. This sucks, I have a sore throat, headache, feel sick and hurt all over. If I did not know better, I would think that it is the flu. The nurse from the dr. office just called and checked on me and she said that it all sounds normal. Nothing new really. I had to chase the dogs down this morning as Max has learned to push my back door open. Dumb Dog. Nick is working and Josh and Daddy are working the combine. Here we go again with this. It seems that is all Daddy ever does. WWork on teh combine. I am watching the news, is there any good news ever?? Gabby and Allayna are back at school and Layna is one year older. Oh, to be 4 years old again and have no worries. That would be great for a bit. Must run and get me some lunch. Peanut butter and bread. What fun. At least it is not fruit. LYMI!

It has been has been a very long time since I updated this blog. I am sorry. Seems that not having the internet in my house makes me lazy on keeping you all up to date. Well, Nick has me set up with a black berry and while I can not use the phone part, I got on the internet and that is what is important. Let's get to updating. Allayna will be 4 on Sunday November 15, 2009. Her party is tomorrow. Should be fun. Daddy will be older than that on November 18th. Not sure about his party. I would say that at best, it will be held on an International Harvester. Nick is doing very well with the business. Josh made Lt and loves it . Abby is still working hard for the doctors. I am still working in Phyical Therapy and Keri works in our Ramsey St. office. Let's make it a family affair. I went this morning and took the radioactive idoine to kill my thyroid and try to get my Graves Disease under control. I feel ok but have a terrible headache. At least, I am not vomiting. Nick and Daddy have headed to Lumberton to get some food and other things that I need. We have satelitte in my little room and internet, my cell phone. I can not be near anyone or my dogs. Should be a long week but I will be ok. Let's just pray that this works. I love you all! Hope to see you soon. Best Wishes.
