It is the best time of the year....

So Thursday night is the start of the best times in our home till the end of the year! FOOTBALL

SEASON! So we are planning on watching some football Thursday..USC vs. NC State. Not our team by any means but hey it is football. Saturday we will be enjoying our love...Our Georgia Bulldogs play Saturday against Georgia Southern. We are hoping to enjoy the game at a friends house in their Georgia Sanctuary on the Big screen. We will take pics and post after the game. After our game Saturday we will continue enjoying NCAA football ALL day long. After we leave our friends house we will come home and join the couch with the two TVs to pass the rest of the day with nothing but FOOTBALL! I am so excited. I will not feel guilty about laying around and doing nothing. Geoff and I just love football, Geoff may love it more than I but he created a monster by getting me to know and love the game of FOOTBALL!

So this weekend grab a nice cold SPRITE and a Georgia Koozie and Enjoy the GAMES of Football!

As a parting note we say......................... GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So The Story is...

So for anyone who does not know yet.....We are expecting a baby! Yes I said a Baby. We will be blessed in April of 09. We are not very far along. We had our first Doctors visit on Friday the 22ND of Aug. I was a nervous wreck! The doctor came up to us and introduced himself..Hi I'm Dr. Speilvogel and you are.... I said Hi, I am SCARED TO DEATH! What in the world was I thinking or not thinking at all was the problem. He said he had never had anyone introduce themselves like that before. Geoff introduced himself as Geoff..Good job honey! So that we our meeting our NEW Dr.

So for me liking the Dr. I love HIM! He was so nice and patient with a crazy me. He listened and answered my questions and help me calm down. He let me know that there is always options.

So we got to hear the heart beat and he measured the baby. I am 7 weeks and 5 days. Today.

I have been feeling sick but Not throwing up! Dang it! I feel like crap most of the day but everyone tells me it will go away! So I really hope it does. Mom was never sick so I didn't think I would but to be very honest I think it is ALL in my crazy head. I tend to make things worse by thinking about it to much so I have started reading Harry Potter again to get my mind on the book instead of me feeling sick! I love the series so I am just trying to read it and finish all the books!

I am still working but not as much right now! Getting up early makes me feel worse. Mom and Dad are excited along with Jess, Em and Blake. Geoff's parents are also excited! We got a pic of the little peanut so I will have to scan it and try to get it on here! Lets hope I can do it!

So we will be blogging a lot about the baby for the months to come!

Sunday Sewing Lesson

So this past Sunday Aunt Shari and Uncle Craig came to visit us again. This time we had a mission..... to make valances out of curtains. I will tell you what, it would have never been done without the brains of my wonderful aunt Shari. She and my grandma Aldridge were so loving that they bought the curtains for me and I bought the curtain rods. Geoff and Craig hung the rods while Shari taught me how to iron so she could sew the valances. What an amazing effort we all put in to it. I love my house even more now because it feels like a home!!! After one whole year in our house we are starting to make it a home. I just wanted to say thank you to Shari and Craig for coming down and helping me make our house a home. Thank you to Geoff for being so willing the hang the rods and put up with me telling him where I wanted them.

I am so blessed to have my family in our life. What a blessing they are to us. Thank you again! Pictures will be posted soon!

Dad's doctor Visit

So dad went to the doctor Monday at 2:15. I just talked to my dad today about lunch time and he gave me the "News". The doctor said his knee was worse then he thought and that Dad would eventually need a knee replacement! WHAT the Crap?! So I was really bummed about that. Not that it will be any time soon but gosh that is just a stinker!

Tonight we went to the softball game and when the game was over I was talking to Brad and Craig and told them about dad. This guy just happened to sit down on the bleachers and showed us his scar. SCAR from knee replacement he had 8 weeks previous. He is walking around and looks to be doing OK. He said he used a walker for the first week but that therapy was the most important thing! He is 57 or something like that so I thought he was doing pretty good!

So just keep dad in your thoughts and prays! He is an amazingly strong man..he can whine a little bit but other than that he is pretty good. Nothing a little alieve cant fix.

I just hope and pray for the best for my dad! He is one of my rocks in my life and I need him! I need everyone in my family right now!

Hope everyone is doing well! All is good in the Barton home. Just enjoying the hot humid weather we are having. All I want to do is spend time in a really cool pool until football starts then inside in the AC with the TV's and some UGA football! All I have on the brain right now is Georgia Football! Geoff and his dad are so excited for this season so hopefully they wont be to disappointed. I will keep everyone updated on if I have to get Geoff some medicine or if I just get it for myself. I have a feeling this season is going to be intense!



So for now..... GO DAWGS!!!!

Finally getting caught up on the blog. This weekend we were able to go the ville to have a surprise PARTY for Sherry...Ellen and Bryant's mom. She had no idea we were coming and it was great. We showed up Friday night at sherry's house and she asked if there were any more surprises and of course she was told NO!!!

We got the Kyles parents house and hung out while Geoff, Bryant and Kevin went and saw Batman. Emilee, Ellen, Kyle, Carl, Onna and I hung out and played the wii. I was so tired but ended up staying up really late. Emilee and I went to change into our PJ's and then we just layeddown for a sec. Ellen came in the room and we were just talking and all of the sudden the power went OUT!! I totally thought Kyle was playing a joke on us but come to find out the power was out for about a 4Th of the town. Really weird! So needless to say we, Emilee and I, were a little freaked out. Kyles parents house is so big and the dark is just scary! So we ended up talking in the kitchen for a little while then Onna left and us girls went into the bedroom and layed around with the flashlight till Geoff got back from the movies. After he got back it was about 1:20am when the power came back on. Going from dark to totally bright was hard on the eyes! So we finally got to sleep than froze all night while Geoff and I sunk into the middle of the air mattress because i did not listen to Geoff and fill it up more. But still got a little sleep.

Saturday we got up went to sonic, walmart and sally's to get some stuff I needed. Got home ate changed and went to Sherry's to set up for the party while Ellen and Susan took Sherry out shopping. We got everything set up early due to the fact that sherry wanted to go shopping earlier then expected. It all worked out, made the phone calls to get everyone there earlier and SURPRISE, she was totally! I am so glad we got to be there for her and KYLE!

Sunday was Kyle's Day, we had dinner over at the Peavy's and then the boys played a little ball with the little guys! We then had cake, brownies and ice cream at sherry's. Kyle opened his presents and then we headed home!

I am so glad that we are so close. What a wonderful family they are. I loved spending time with them and the little ones. I fell in love with Vincent! He is so dang CUTE!!!

Thanks to Ellen for planning this weekend for her mom and hubby! We had a BLAST!!

Weekend with Aunt Shari and Uncle Craig!

Me and Geoff at the beach!
Again
The curtains I love!

I am catching up on my blogging sorry but last weekend we got to spend time with Shari and Craig. I love when they come down to visit. I got to do Shari's hair when she got here and then Saturday we spent a little while at the beach. After that we went to JC Penny and looked at some curtains for my house. I found some but no valances so Shari said she would see if Grandma would help her change the long curtains into valances for me! My aunt and grandma are really good at sewing. I am sot thankful for that because Mom would do it but she is so busy with work and taking care of dad. He is doing a lot better and getting around great...goes to the doctor Monday to get his stitches out! Anyway so I think Shari and Grandma did my valances yesterday.. I have to call and find out so I can go get the rods for Geoff to hang! I am so excited to finally get my window covered. It takes a baby shower to get it done but it needed to be done regardless! All I can say is I AM EXCITED!!!!!
