What Cute Kids!!!

Our good friend Jeana came out and took newborn pictures of Paige the other day. She also got some with Maddie and Colton and they all turned out so cute. She took our family pictures in November and we loved them. She is a great photographer and she does such a great job. Her website is jeanabirdphotography.com if anyone wants to check it out.

New Arrival

Well we have a new addition to the Barker Family. Last night Shannon gave birth to a baby girl. She was born at 11:12 pm and weighted 6 pounds 9 ounces. She is 20 inches long. Shannon and baby are doing great. We are still trying to decide on a name. We are trying to decide between Paige Emma and McKenzie Emma. Any suggestions? I will upload some pictures either tonight or tomorrow and hopefully have a name picked out.

The WII

My parents gave the kids the Outdoor Challenge game for the WII for Christmas. They are having a blast with it. They would like to play it all day. This is a few videos of them playing. Thanks Mom and Dad. They are having a blast, and it is keeping them entertained.

Merry Christmas

This Christmas was a little different for us, but it was a good Christmas. Ever year we spend Christmas Eve at Ben's Aunt Kaye and Uncle Danny's house. We have dinner and just visit with his aunts, uncles, cousins, and their families. It is a lot of fun and they always have good food. Then for Christmas we spent the morning at home and opened the presents with the kids. It snowed so much in Herriman that we were not sure that we were going to go anywhere else. Ben went out and shoveled the driveway enough for us to get our car out. That much took him at least a half hour.

Colton got a Race Track

Maddie got a Barbie House

We then went up to his parents house for a Christmas brunch, and opened presents at their house. It was a lot of fun. Ben's mom made all the Grandkids quilts for Christmas. They were so cute and the kids were way excited. She then gave me the quilt that she made for the baby which is so adorable. I love it!!! Thanks Grandma for the blankets.

Baby Blanket

A Barker tradition is decorating a Christmas train. Grandma Barker is brave. She has each one of the kids decorate a car of the train. I think they eat more candy then what actually goes on the train, but they have a lot of fun.

We then usually go to my parents house for the night and spend the day after Christmas with them, but because of my current situation we were unable to go. So it was a hard Christmas for me becasue I was not able to see my family at all. My parents tried to come today to see us but the weather once again was not good and they were not able to come.

All in all our Christmas was very quite and relaxing which was nice for the kids, because they got to spend a lot of the day playing with their toys which they really enjoyed.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and will have a good New Years!!
