I love the Country and soon will be in the Country but i will miss the Sierra Mountains and some of the Desert's Beauty. But we are planning on coming back every summer to visit. Hello My Life Story Starts My Parents Jack and Martha Ann Were Born and Raised in Alabama and then they moved to California in 1966 later I was born April 3, 1968 Wednesday I was 4 lbs 6 ozs and we lived at that time in Huntington Park on Randroff Street. Then when i was about 3 we moved to Cudahy on Flower Street where we stayed until I was 19 yrs 1 month and 6 days old and I left home and moved to Ridgecrest after meeting John Daly Jan 30, 1987 we fell in love and I moved to Ridgecrest May 9, 1987 and then a few weeks later we moved to Indian Harbor Beach and lived with his Father and Step Mom for a 3 to 4 months with them then we moved to my grandma's in Alabama and we got married Sept 30, 1987. Then December 3, 1987 we moved back to Los Angles and then December 26, 1987 we moved back to Ridgecrest to John's friends place and then we got our own place February 15, 1988 and John Started his Job at E.M.P.F. March 1, 1988 and then March 1989 we found out i was going to have our one and only son Johnny Daly Jr (A.K.A. McNabb). He was born November 19, 1989 two weeks late. When he was almost 2 we moved and we ended up moving two times in Ridgecrest and then he started talking to people on the computer and that became his life and he feel in love with some girl on there and he wanted a divorce Nov. 1998 and in that year i had lost 5 family members Nephew, Aunt, Uncle and Brother and Grandma and then him wanting to divorce it tore me completely apart I thought he would be there for me no matter what. and then our divorce was final Aug, 1999 and i started dating a guy named Joe and he turned out not to be right for me. But he did teach me somethings about myself I am glad for that. then I re-meet the love of my life Dewain Cook I meet him first time back when i was pregers with Johnny I would ride the Bus in town and he was the driver and he also Grew up with John too. so i felt safe with him then. and then he placed a ad on yahoo personals and i was looking for friends at that time i didn't have any. so i answered an add that started out IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SANITY DON'T LOOK HERE I thought that was some with a since of humor and could be a good friend so we started talking on there and then I signed my name one day Barbara Ann Daly and he asked me if i was related to a John Daly I told him sort of i am his ex-wife and then he told me his real name and I asked him I thought you moved out of town to see if you band would hit it off in Hollywood he said you remember that i said yes and then we really started talking more and more and one day he asked if he could come over and i thought Johnny is with his dad and i felt safe with him back then so sure. and when he came over it was like 9:00 p.m. and we sat up talking and talking all night until about 3 a.m. and then when he left he kissed my hand and then he came again the next night and left gave me a hug and then the next night a kiss on the cheek. and we feel in love and found out we have so much in common and things just feel into place and then I finally let him and Johnny meet and they hit it off. so that helped me feel even more saver with him. and i was still going into and out of court at this time for my son and when i went in to court Oct. 19, 2001 and in my mind lost my son cause i only got him at the time every other weekend Friday after school until Monday going to school and that wasn't enough for me. I LOVE MY KIDS AND THAT WASN'T ENOUGH. And Then Found out from the house people that John had called them and told them we were selling the house and he was to call them back with the information on it all (when he signed over the house to me and had no rights to it at all and they weren't even support to be talking to him) they sold the house on November 6 and I was calling them the 7th cause they were support to be sending me some papers but they didn't so i called and found all this out. and Then came home a few days later to a 30 day notice to get out. SO I moved in then with Dewain Dec. 5 and then that Christmas he gave me a Ford Escort and asked me to marry him it was the best Christmas ever. and then Dec. 27 I was served papers fro john once again cause i was living with dewain he wanted my support to stop and then December 29 I got served again this time for my Child Support he wanted that to stop cause i was living with Dewain but i had no choice. then Feb 16 we found out i was pregers (our first time) and he was so HAPPY the nurses heard him yelling YEAAAA over the phone two rooms away and it wasn't on speaker too. and then we went out to eat and called family to tell them. MAy 3 we were married. It was a great day full of happiness and love and friends and family with us made it even better. Johnny was the ring bearer/ best man/son for Dewain and Jay Gallaher was His best Man and Dawn was my Maiden of Honor and her Daughter Shelby the flower girl and Dewain's land lord was the pastor and The Wedding was performed by Jim Neighbors (who passed away 2007) at Calvary Church on Upjohn in Ridgecrest. then Jerimiah was Due September 30, 2002 but was born September 20, 2002. Dewain was so funny when we brought him home he was right beside the bed and when he moved coughed snizzed anything Dewain would jump up what wrong I would say nothing he is breathing coughing moving what ever he was so nervous it was cute. We had our second little man named Nathaniel Alexander Eugene Cook (we added in Eugene to honor Dewain’s Dad who passed away January 21, 2006 just a month and a day before Nathaniel was born) was born Feb. 22, 2006 at 7:41 am and weighed 5 pounds 1 ounce and is 18 inches long and he was born 5 weeks early we just got home today at about 3 pm. They tried 4 times to do an epidermal but couldn’t get it in then they had to do an emergency c-section (My first) cause my blood pressure was up in the 180 range I had Pre-eclampsia and he had a touch of ammonia and Jaundice plus he has a hard time keeping his body temp up. You can look at the pictures I have on this and it is hard to believe he was ever a pre-mature. But isn’t he a cutie And our last child is Alexander Edward (middle name is after my grandfather on my mom's side, I can't use her name in my child's name to honor her so this is a way to honor her) Cook born July 11, 2008 19 inches long and he weighed 6 pound and 4 ounces look at my pictures. I also have three girls from Dewain’s ex girlfriend Linda no they are his blood but they are by the heart they think of him as dad and he thinks of them as his girls and I think of them as my Daughter and Family I also then have 4 Grand-babies Amanda and Bethany are Twin and then Kayla. My Grand-babies are Amanda’s Kids : Katie and Wesley and Kayla’s Kids : Landon, and Payton they are also both married Amanda to Mark and Kayla to Tony I love them all just as much as I do my birth kids they are all special to me. I am so proud of all my kids. Plus I have a few of Johnny’s friends that are like my kids too Jessie, and Jenny (but someday she might be my daughter-in-law) and India. My children and Husband are my life and my soul. Dewain makes me feel very Loved and Special and Wanted Forever. He is so open to me and my best friend something I have never really had before. So, I am totally open with him about anything. I Do Love Him With All That I Am. We have a 2000 Dark blue/ dark purple depends on the light conversation van we nicknamed it Twi-Van cause it is all Twilight out in Decals too . June 1, 2003 we moved into our Own Home. We are buying our own home it is a 3 bedroom 2. It looks like a little barn on the outside we have painted the inside in different color blues on the inside. The outside is white with dark Blue trim Thanksgiving Vacation in 2007 Some of Johnny’s friends and us painted the trim on the house we are so thankful to them, Jessie, Robert, Christian, Beth, Faith, Kendra, Jonathan (Johnny’s Step Brother thought his Father’s side his father’s new wife Tracy’s son) . It has a two car garage so they say. We now have 1 dogs and 1 cat. Dewain was a bass player for a local band and has been playing for over 25 years. I loved to go to his practices and when they play out he is very good at what he does ................................................................ Dewain and I are so much into our Kids and yes we have made mistakes along in our lives but we try to learn from them and talk though a lot of mistakes we have made before so not to make them again and help our marriage to we do a lot of talking. He is my BEST FRIEND but I do have other friends that are like family also Desiree Dickie, Marisa Kimbrough, Julie, Delfa, Gabby, Jenny Perez, Jenise and a few others. I have family in Alabama but 99% don’t talk to me so I made my own family here. I also have a Nephew Dale, Brandon, Tony and a Niece Rachel. I also have brother and Sisters Debra, Jacquelyn, Donnett, Becky (who isn’t with us anymore) and Cynthia and Brothers Jack Jr. (who isn’t with us anymore) and Hugh and many more family. Along with nieces and nephews though all of them I will name them all off soon. I didn’t forget you Ann. Trust me. I love my family and want to keep them around always.
