About Us

The Barton Family consists of:



Johnny: Now employed  as a plumber. A man of many trades! Wonderful provider and friend. (My hero!) Best dad ever!




Danielle: Blog author. Stay-at-home mom who loves the gift her husband has given her to stay home!










Shyanne Raelynne: Oldest of 3 girls in the Barton family. Shyanne loves to play house and be the mom or the baby. She loves animals and  especially loves bossing around her younger sisters










Natalee Grace: Middle girl, (three months younger than Shyanne) but the original Barton Baby! Natalee brings joy to each day with her sweet disposition and tender heart. She also loves to do art! 









Hollie May: Youngest of 3 girls (14 months younger than Natalee) in the Barton family. She spends her days playing
imaginary play and attempting to keep up with two older sisters!


















Brock Samuel: Oldest boy (a little less than 3 years younger than Hollie) - a whirlwind of a preschooler and 100% different from my girls. He loves tractors and trucks and balls and all things BOY.












Connor Benjamin: Sweet little surprise - 19 months younger then Brock (tries to copy everything he does) and such a joy! Current obsession: Firetrucks













Last, but certainly not least, sweet Sawyer John was born 5 weeks early on January 20, 2016.  He spent 2 weeks in the NICU and is currently enjoying being thoroughly spoiled by all his siblings!











A little more about us:
John and Danielle decided to be foster parents in 2008 when Natalee was one and a half.  In July 2009, Shyanne and Hollie joined the family.  We never knew that they would be here to stay but now we couldn't imagine life any other way! Brock Samuel made his debut as our first little man in July 2011.  His little brother( Connor) arrived February 2013 to help even out the boy ratio in our household! Last, but not least, Sawyer made his debut to complete the balance and complete our family! 3 data-blogger-escaped

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
