halloween fun

our horse cart...

Yes family and friends, we are now raising horses and taking them to carnivals for pony rides! NOT- This is Jeff's new "toy" friends. A very, very big toy.

He will make it his pit area for racing as I suspect he will be traveling more this summer for races... or living in it when he is in time out!!!

However, I must say it is a very nice trailer and will be interesting to see the end product.... never a dull moment at our house!!!!!

back in the saddle again...

The Barney Crew is back in the saddle... kids are in school, mom and dad are teaching, homework is on full tilt! Mason just loovves second grade. His teacher is such a delightful lady. Mari of course can't wait for Monday, Wednesday, & Friday- school days! She is in class with her bestest friend and loves her teacher and most of all- MUSIC!
They both are busy with football for Mason and ballet for Marryn. It is so much fun to see them doing something they love doing! Other than that, we are just keeping busy around the Barney home as fall approaches.... just gotta' love this time of year! Take care friends and family!

IT WAS A GREAT TRIP!!

the vaca pictures

the barney vacation

it was a great vacation! we went to Maumee Bay Resort in Oregon, Ohio & then to the Toledo Zoo. we had a BLAST! the resort was WONDERFUL and very relaxing. we took the kids on their first jet-ski and paddle boat ride. we even went to a DRIVE-IN MOVIE! the kids thought that was pretty cool too. the zoo was amazing & we didn't pay a dime to get in since our zoo is a reciprocal zoo with the Toledo zoo! we all want to go again and stay longer.... anyone interested in next year, let us know!
