Merry Christmas
from Raul, Amanda, Cord, Jaci, and Cole
2012
2012 Ranger's 4th of July
The Barrientes' Bunch with two special kiddos that will forever hold a place in our hearts! So thankful that we got to be a part of them finding a FOREVER FAMILY!!!!
Hanging In There
We have had lots of obstacles this year! We just crossed our fingers, held on tight, and prayed our way through it! We survived! :)
Our babies
Many, many accomplishments and much to be thankful for this past year!
Medical
This has no been our year!
After knee surgery
Thankful for speedy recovery!
Blood pressure Check before dealing with cut!
No matter how big your babies get, they always need their momma!
Oral Surgery
The biggest baby of them all! :) Just kidding! He did so good! He flirted all the way into the surgery and all the way out to the car. (But he can't remember that part......and I wish that I couldn't! He is so embarrassing sometimes! lol)
Fever at Cheer Camp.....dumb Mono!
Missed 2 days of Cheer Camp because she got so sick! :(
Recovery Room
Dazed and Confused!
Wrapped up!
All better and now is ready to go eat because mom and dad are in town to buy! :)
All the "Fights"!
Cole and Jaci
And she screamed the whole way down!
Cord and Jaci
Who is going to drive???!!!
Dog Pile Dad
It took all three of them, but they got him down!
Learned Many Lessons This Year
Kicking Lesson
I don't know who learned more......Hayden or Cord! :)
Helping Those in Need
Pulling up on a little old man with a flat tire, Raul and Cole came to the rescue. I know the man was appreciative but the lesson Cole's fabulous daddy taught him that day goes far beyond the flat tire!
Mowing Lesson
Cord has patience with children like no other! He can teach anyone to do anything because of his sweet spirit and knowledge.
Everyday life
What a good kid!
Studying even when he would rather be doing something else!
Family Time
Getting everything aired up so we can have fun at the lake!
This doesn't happen often.......

Cord and Jaci
Partners in CRIME! I promise!
Can't believe my baby
is taller than me!
Boys will be
BOYS! Always, finding a way to entertain themselves!
Cole
He and Papa are thinking that this might be a way to get into tight places. "The places where the fish are!"
Cord on his way to the river with his friends!
Goodness knows, I said many prayers over that boy all weekend!
Jaci's gets her permit!!!!
Watch out!
The Redneck Slip-N-Slide!
Cole master minded tarps, baby oil, and water sprinklers! No one needed stitches and everyone had fun! Success!
Jaci
She is now singing with a group at Faith Life.
Snakes, SNAKES, and MORE SNAKES!!!
We had 4 snakes this year! 3 of them were INSIDE our house! We are now the (not so proud) owners of a cat, but HEY!, it's better than owners of snakes!
