The decorating is finished...

Got the house decorated

inside and out with all my little helpers...

The stockings are hung...

Our "Mr. Snowman" is out...

And the candy village looks yummy...

Now that Thanksgiving break is over

it's time to get back into the

books with the boys and get to learning...

Meet the Barr Family...

Thanksgiving was wonderful, it was

a record braking 81*, sunny but windy out.

Was able to get family pictures of

my husbands family...

My love is the oldest of  four children...

Our lil' girl is the ONLY girl of 9 grandchildren...

Here we are, one big happy family...

I'm very thankful for ALL MY FAMILY,

here in Louisiana and back home in Oklahoma.



My babies FIRST deer...

I have two mighty hunters in the house,

one is 31 and the other is just 9 going on 31...

They both shot a deer, look how proud...

This is his FIRST deer to shoot...

He told me that before he went hunting,

he prayed and asked God to let him shoot one,

he was VERY thankful God heard his prayer.

I want to wish you all a very

blessed Thanksgiving!



Back home in our lil' white house...

Got home last week and it's been one busy week

since we got back; some ladybugs had

moved in with us, so I've been sucking them up

and sweeping them out, but they're still around.

And our hot-water-heater leaked, so

we had a nice soaking mess in the laundry room.

Now I have sick kids, that time of the year

for colds. That's been my crazy week...



Meet the Large Barnette Family...

Since I was in town we had an early

Thanksgiving with my family.

We may not be organised like the

Duggar family, but we are large.

The Barnette's 18 and counting...

Daddy took out the Strong's Concordance

and gave us all Hebrew names...

Here we are; 6 girls and 10 boys...

3 are married and 2 are on their own,

that leaves 11 still at home

with 6 of them being homeschooled...

From oldest to youngest...

Vanyah, Yadah, Yowel, Tsonyah, Bo,

Mathel, Towbel, Danel, Kaynel,

Zak, Adriyel, Giyl, Nayreeyah,

Nethan, Moriyah, Jack.

I'm thankful for my LARGE

family, love them all.

Love the sweet outdoors...

Still in Oklahoma with my family.

Missing back home after almost 6 weeks away,

but enjoying God's pretty fall days here.

Here I am heading to my parents house snapping shots...

Out by the Fort in Ft. Gibson...

Going down the hill in Hulbert to my parents...

The big rock and creek I'd play in as a child...

The wild burning bush down by the creek...

The creek that runs behind my parents...

Walking around almost 12 years after I took

Matt's hand in marriage, taking in all my child hood

memories growing up out in the country.

Fall festival...

Got out of the camper for a few days and

spent time with family at a church fall festival.

Had a blast, and got a lot of candy...

My "Ninja" boy..

My "Sheriff Woody" boy..

My "Knight" boy...

And "Lil' everything" girl...

While school week 14 comes to an end, we will be heading

back home soon because hubby got a layoff.
