WOW!

My friend Tashina recently decided to start making her blog writing a priority.(Thanks for inspiring me to do the same) When I logged on I saw that It has been FOREVER since I have posted! I also saw that in the "about me" section, Jaydon was 2 and Kaylani was just born. Saying I am due for an update would be an understatement. This is such a great way to keep everyone posted on our lives and something amazing to look back on. I no longer have an excuse now that my "baby" can feed herself,play by herself, and use the bathroom herself.:)

Better late than never:)

I know I said I would be better about updating my blog....but I lost the cord to transfer my pictures! Thanks to Aunt Cammie,I got my kid's birthday pictures! Jaydon turned 3 and Kaylani 1!! We had a joint party since they are only three days apart. I do not have the energy to plan two back to back parties. Especially when there are so many birthdays from July-November. They got a ton of great gifts! Nice plates and bowls,toys,a princess chair,great clothes,even their Halloween costumes! Jaydon will be Nemo this year and Kaylani will be Minnie Mouse. I made cupcakes so Kaylani could have her very on. Half the cupcakes had three M&Ms on them and the other half,one. Simple is what we like:) Thanks to eveyone who helped out! Especially with the pictures Aunt Cammie! What would my poor kids do without you?!

AN EXCITING TWO DAY'S

KAYLANI NOW


JAYDON AT FOUR MONTHS
KAYLANI AT FOUR MONTHS



Our baby girl turned ONE today! All day today I kept looking back to what this day was like one year ago. Could I handle two kids? Would the labor be as awful as it was with Jaydon? What would she look like? At 4:57pm it was all over and I got to find out. I thought she looked like her big brother. Who knew she would end up looking just like her daddy! Those Barker's have some strong genes! And beautiful ones:) It was fun to think about that exciting day. On one hand,I can't believe a year has gone by. On the OTHER hand.... I can't believe ONLY a year has gone by! We are planning a party for both her and Jaydon. So no cake pictures today:) Two Birthdays down,one more to go!
Oh.... and the other exciting thing. We went to the BSU Game last night:)GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!

NO GOOD

I can't believe it is August and I haven't post anything! I am awful! Too much has happened over the last three months to have an individual post for each. So I will just sum it up into one! It has been a very busy summer! Trev had summer school all summer! Ugh. Good news though,this is his last year! One more semester of school! It should be an interesting year though. He won't be able to work much so things will be tight. Good thing I am obsessed with coupons.:) Jaydon is getting screened here in just a few weeks! I have a little bit of a feeling he is behind with his speech. I would rather be safe and figure it out now. I will keep you updated on that. If he is behind,he will attend a class at Garfield Elementary school. If he isn't, I have a Preschool in mind for him to go to a few days a week. Kaylani has been walking for a few weeks or so now! I can't believe my youngest walks! She has been saying,"uh-oh" and using it correctly so, I think we may have a first word to write down! She has four teeth and by the way she has been acting latley, more are on the way! We went to The Oregon Coast in June. Jaydon loved the beach this year! In July we celebrated a few Birthdays. Aunt Cammie,Grandpa Barker,and mine! We had one big get together. It was a lot of fun. I got some knives,cutting boards,pedicures,bowls. I got spoiled. I have been watching a lot of cooking shows and felt the need to upgrade. Jaydon and I made a trip to Salt Lake also in July. My cousin Daniel and Cousin Aubrey,on the Shimer side, got married. We stayed with my wonderful friend Mandi and her family. Though I did not get to visit much with family it was nice seeing them and their little ones. We have made a trip to the cabin. Always fun. The boys love the four wheelers and water. Trev is getting ready to start school in just over a week. Boo. So I do not have to have such long posts, I think I will stop being lazy and keep my blog updated! Especially since we have lots of exciting things just around the corner! We recently got family pictures done. Kims sister Emily took them for us. She did such an amazing job! I will post a few. I am sure lots of other things have happened. I will get on with posting the pictures though. They are much more exciting.

My last post wouldn't let me post all my pics! There are so many good ones I just HAD to post them! So here are a few more!
