The Barker Family: 2011

Jace started pre school the day after Labor Day. He was SO excited. He wanted to wear his RED shirt the first day. Love this kid.

Had to get one with Jada.

He was happy when we got there...

But when we got inside, he stayed by my side until it was time to sit at their tables and then he sat next to Savannah, but was a little less happy as you can see in this pic I took just before I walked out. When I picked him up though, he was so happy and excited to go back!

Had to snap this pic without him knowing. He is so funny how he wears his sunglasses behind his head sometimes.

Josh got us some tickets to the races to watch him race. Rusty didn't think it would get cold enough for jackets. . .wrong. Good thing we had a blanket for Jada to wrap up in!

Jace did more monkey-ing around than actually watching the races, of course.

True love.

Jace plugging his ears during one of the races.

Being silly

We were out late at the races, so the next day he was all tuckered out.

Showing our BLUE pride on game day. Blue hair is always fun! GO COUGARS!

And then later that day Jace decided to give himself a haircut. This is the first time either of my kids have cut their own hair. Grr. Just glad that it wasn't on top!

The kids sitting, waiting patiently for us at the bank while we open up a business account. . .Here we go again! :/

And our biyearly appointment with Dr Paxton! I think maybe a dentist in the family someday?!
Let's hope!

Labor Day 2011

We decided to make a trip to Burley to spend the holiday weekend with the Hills. We always have fun. . . as you will see.

First had to include this one. Jace was playing outside with the kids while we were getting ready to leave and got soaking wet. All our clothes were in our luggage and packed in the truck, so we had to throw his shorts and undies in the dryer. . and he had to stay inside and wait for them to dry. He watched the kids play out the window as he waited. lol

Took the kids to a place like Jump n Bounce in Twin Falls. Looks like Michael was struggling and had to take a bit of a break?

Rusty and Michael battling it out

He was so sweaty. . and stinky by the time we were done! ew

Makaylee and Jada battling

They took us to a place called Shoshone Falls while we were in twin. It was beautiful!

Here's a pic of just the girls

We wanted all the kids to be in the pic...

But Jace had other ideas >:/ This was the last day we were there and after 2 other nights of very little sleep, he was such a grouch!

Just the boys. . .

Oh wait! With a cheesy grin!

Summer is almost over?

It is crazy that Summer is coming to an end!? We aren't ready! We have had a crazy August! Rusty changed jobs and it has proved to be a good move, but has taken a huge leap of faith for us. But we have had blessings sent our way as a result of our faith and we are so grateful! We took advantage of the time he had off between job moves and went to Seven Peaks together. We have passes this year and have been several times. It's so much fun! This was taken when we were outside the park having lunch.
