Change always comes bearing gifts-

at least that is what Price Pritchett said. I hope it is true because there are a lot of changes going on here at the Barker's.



First of all we have all of life's inevitable, out of our control, changes happening, like, Will's voice,



Mackenzee getting regis
tered for High School,


Jesse passing me up in shoe size,


Bridger-well not a lot has changed there,




and Mia registering for kinderg
arten!





I can't get over how fast it is all going. We have 3 nephews graduating this week, they were just babies playing in my dress at my wed
ding.




There are also changes we have made all on our own, on purpose.

First of all we have been officially self-employed for a little over a month now, and it is going great, Randy is truly my hero.




I love having him around so much more, even thoug
h he is my boss. Our business is Mountain West Business Solutions, it is the same type of thing he has been doing for years, just his own deal now. It covers Western Wyoming, which does mean quite a bit of travel, but when he wants and we get to go when we can. We are learning a whole lot.



Now here is the big news that will shock most of you I'm sure. This change actually won't officially happen until some time around October 9th. Yes, #6 is on the way. Now let me answer some questions:

Yes it was planned.
Yes, maybe we are a little crazy.
No, I guess I'm not too old.
21 weeks.
Probably a boy, never mind, this last ultrasound said GIRL.
It will be a 16 year span, and Will is thrilled just like the other kids.
Yes, it will be a big, big change, bearing a great gift!

Yeah...I am so excited. I was just talking to Randy the other day and I asked him and he said NO! What a liar. I hope everything is going great. I sure miss Randy around here...things just aren't the same. I can't imagine working with the man and then living with him...god bless:) love you all.

Janet holy cow!!!! I am so excited for you guys...and you are my hero for having more kids after #4...I don't know how you do it! Congrats, you have beautiful kids (especially that good-looking Will!!) and I'm sure Baby Barker will be no different. Wow, I'm so surprised and happy for you guys.

Congrats to Randy for being an entrepeneur, wow you were right about lots of changes! Dave about drove me crazy when he worked from home, so good luck in that dept. I think it was mostly because he wanted real food for lunches when I'm used to making kid fare.

Anyway, hopefully we'll see you GNO one of these times. Take care and happy pregnancy!

I'm in shock. You said you were done. Funny how those things happen. Next time we see you there will be a little belly. I hope we see you before October. Congrats. My cuz just had baby #6 and her oldest is 16. They love it. I'm sure your kids will love it and help so much. I can't believe all the changes. Mia is so old. How time flies.

Good luck with all the changes. Hope to see you soon.
