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

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
http://joannabarker.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
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.

Playing with my new smart phone that Cody. On Sat...

Sunday, June 26, 2011. We had a blast last week at Justin and Anna's wedding! We were so busy at the reception dancing and eating and talking and helping out that we didn't get any pictures! Sad day :( It was so fun though, and we had a great time being with family! Sunday, June 12, 2011. So last night we went to a demolition derby! Here's some pics from our wonderful adventures :). We're also super excited to be heading back out to California for my brother Justin's wedding! Saturday, June 4, 2011.
