Chelsea designed this! Isn't it the cutest thing ever...my little tooter poot!!

Thank you CUZ and Happy Birthday TAYDEM ELIZABETH

So today is my little girls birthday! I can't believe she is 1!! She's my little angel.

Leven is up in Ft. Worth with his volleyball team. This is one of the toughest tourney's in the state...hopefully they won't get killed!! Go LadyPirates....

From Longview News Journal:

It just happened really quick," Barker said. "You want to get that type of stuff done as fast as possible, not for the coaches but for the kids. Leaving my kids over there was a tough thing to do this late in the year." Barker arrives at Pine Tree after nine seasons as head coach at Mexia, where he won at least 19 games eight times and went to the playoffs seven times. Barker, who has also coached at Crockett and has 270 wins in 13 seasons, won 20 or more games seven times at Mexia. Definitely you're going to feel a little pressure," Barker said. "There's a lot of expectations for Pine Tree. The thing about that pressure is we don't have 6-4 McCrays coming through. There's a little pressure, but I'm used to pressure. There was a lot pressure where I came from to win every year. That's just part of coaching.

Ok...thanks to my wonderful and talented cousin, I now have my BLOG looking oh so cute! Thanks Chelsea--I LOVE IT!!

Last but not least---

THANK GOODNESS IT'S FRIDAY!

Up and Running!

Well it's been a little while since I've posted anything. (I'm trying to figure this website out.)

I've found a job, yeah! That relieved so much stress from the both of us. I'm working for an environmental company that works with oil and gas companies. It's all pretty confusing to me right now. There's so much to learn in this field. But I will get it soon.

Leven has been volleyballing for the past couple of weeks now. He's missing home tons and believe me, I hear about it everyday. His team is a really good bunch of girls and they are now getting a good piece of Coach Barker. He's already been in Garland for a tournament and this week he is in Ft. Worth. Busy busy!

Trever is sooo girl crazy all of a sudden. I guess it's about that time though. He cracks me up whenever he flirts...he's something else!

Taydem turns 1 tomorrow!! I can not believe how time flys. She's such a sweet little baby. She loves to give kisses and she loves her mamma! She starts daycare on Monday along with Trever starting 8th grade!

We are still trying to sell our house in Mexia. Once we get it sold, I think we are going to build here in Longview, with the help of my dad and brothers who are all contractors. So that will be exciting. Right now we are still living with my wonderful sister. I feel like we are back in college again rooming together.

We've moved!

OMG! We recently moved back to East Texas. We've been praying and praying that God would place us somewhere special for our family and it has finally happened. Leven was hired as the head volleyball coach at Pine Tree in Longview. Everything is happening so fast. We are still trying to sell our home back in Mexia and I am looking for a job. I'm not going to teach anymore. I wanted to try something different. So please keep us in your prayers as we jump into this crazy adventure!
