S & S Gazette: November 2011
http://ssgazette.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
8220;While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”. Sunday, November 6, 2011. We had a fun Halloween with the kids. Aside from the small bout of being scared for Ezra from random Halloween displays at stores, it has all gone well. Although, I must say he's handled it better than last year. We took the kids to a pumpkin patch to get pumpkins. Could have probably got them somewhere cheaper, but it was fun all the same. Posted by Susan and Shawn.

8220;While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”. Sunday, April 22, 2012. Easter and Emma's Birthday. Where does the time go? You would think that a simple blog would be easy to keep up with, right? Easter has come and gone, and Emma is now 2. Our yard had enough nicely in bloom for Easter. The orchid tree was in full bloom, though it is pretty much done now. The kids have loved being able to run around and play. For our traditional Easter dinner we h...

S & S Gazette: September 2011

8220;While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”. Monday, September 26, 2011. Where does the time go? The last month and a half have been pretty busy, but that isn't too far from normal. The kids keep us going pretty well. Emma is getting to the point where she can tell you what she wants a little bit more, although any type of fruit is apparently an "apple". She tried to eat an orange by just biting into the skin, but lost interest fairly quickly.

The Barkers: September 2011
http://joannabarker.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Me and Mason doing some bonding, his face is kind of squished. Brenna likes to go down the slide head first. Brylee loves to eat delicious BYU cupcakes. We also decided to help try to break a world record. My cousin's company put on a giant dodge ball game, BYU fans vs U fans. Unfortunately everyone rushed the field and broke all the rules so they didn't get to break a record but there were about 2500 people there. I also got a new grill, it was $80 bucks with our coupon.

The Barkers: January 2012
http://joannabarker.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 17, 2012. We had such a fun Christmas season this year! We kicked it off by getting the Barker's together to make Candy Houses. It's one of my favorite traditions, and I was so glad everyone had fun :) I wish I'd gotten more pics of the results (Lloyd made an awesome church, haha), but here's some pics:. We attempted to make our house, but sadly the roof collapsed. Oh well, still get the general idea :). Starting to understand), and watched a movie, which we briefly paused to watch the b...

The Barkers: March 2012
http://joannabarker.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 25, 2012. Our new fancy smancy basement. We started work on our basement in November and finished up all the details in mid-January. Not bad, eh? We hired people to do the framing, electric, drywall, and basic plumbing, but we tried to do a lot of the work ourselves. We (meaning mostly Cody) did the doors, baseboards, painting, all the other finish work and, of course, the blinds. Here are some awesome before, during and after pics. Enjoy! We sure are :). Main room, framed and insulated.

Saturday, May 14, 2011. Weddings and Easter and Visits, Oh My! We have a lot to catch up on for the last month! We'll start off with Jason and Amy's wedding. Jason is Cody's old roommate and all four of us lived at Roman Gardens together, plus being on a bowling team for two semesters, so it was really fun to be a part of their wedding! Here's a few pics of the festivities:. Randomly ran into Courtney inside the temple! She was going to her. Husband's best friend's wedding too! Gotta love Utah, haha.

The Barkers: August 2011

Tuesday, August 16, 2011. So for our first anniversary this last weekend, we decided to take a little trip to Park City! I'd never been and I loved it! Saturday we went to the Olympic Park and had some fun on the Alpine Slide and Extreme Zipline. Here are some pics of our adventures on the rides :). Going up the chairlift to ride the zipline. The zipline was HIGH! Seriously the most terrifying thing in my life. The Alpine Slide. I went sooo slow the first time until. I realized I could go faster, haha.

Here are some pics :). She is just so precious! Our Jack-o-Lantern pizza :). The whole fam made it down!

Friday, July 11, 2014. 7 lbs 3 oz, 19 in. 12:11 am, 7/4/2014. It looks like it's been a little while since we blogged…. Oh well, now that we have a kid, I MIGHT be blogging more. No promises! Anyways, I just wanted to share Benson's birth story, and few of the amazing photos Stephanie was able to take at the hospital. It's a bit of a long post (I wanted to be able to remember everything! So sorry if anyone gets bored. Feel free to just ooh and aah at the adorable photos at the end instead! And Cody calle...
