A Very Barker Reunion

Before the reunion, Ruby and I had a little fun
taking some pictures at Mamaw's house.
She is always good for a pose or two.
Cousins. This may become a tradition for Krista
and I. Here are our two little girls who are just a
few weeks apart. Every time we get together,
we take a picture of the two beauties.
I really need a wide angle lens for this huge family!
Here are most of the "little" cousins.

Here is an awkward shot of the Barkers with their
spouses.
Here are the Barkers. What a family!
For a funny story about Ivan and Elwood,
check out this article that was in yahoo news
6 months ago. They got a big kick out of it and then
yelled at their sisters for giving them those names.
Steve and Elwood corralling the kids
for a north vs. south water fight.

This is one of my favorite pictures.
Noah and this other little fellow were just
mesmerized by all these little water balloons.
Noah kept picking them up and dropping
them back in the tub for a fun bounce.
Both boys just giggled all the while.
My Ethan resting on a rock. This water was ice cold
coming out of the caves. Brrrrr. I do not know how
these kids walked around in it.
My little Ruby perched on a rock for a quick pose.
Noah lived in this corner of the creek.
Sisters filling up their water guns.
Kaya testing the water.
Xander locked and loaded.
Larry having a bit of fun.
Brysha's little boy Jacob. He is absolutely
adorable. And that is Allyston sitting
with him. I should have had her turn around. She is
absolutely beautiful.

My 2 bozos walking along a trail just above the creek.
It is so hard to take a good picture of your kids
when Elwood is standing behind you commenting
how everything is a "Barker" trait.

I just thought this picture was fun.
I didn't ask them to make funny faces,
that is all them.

I am so glad we got to attend this years Barker's
reunion. We sure miss the family
get togethers and no one has a
party like the Barkers.

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

Scary Moment

Last night we had a bit of a scare in our house.  I was making dinner for the missionaries.  No my dinner was not scary!  I was making a pre-holiday meal, ham and the whole nine yards.  I had purchased fresh cranberries to make cranberry sauce.  Larry and I do not like cranberries but all of my kids do.  Ruby was anxiously waiting to eat and was dancing around in our small busy kitchen trying to help me.  To scoot her along, I gave her a fresh cranberry to nibble on. Less than 5 minutes later she began crying.  Larry had just gotten home so I thought she just wanted him to pick her up.  He did and she kept crying and holding her mouth.  He thought maybe she was teething, but those pesky 2 year molars came early.  I was stressed making the meal, I did not have time for tears.  But Larry would not stop crying about Ruby.  Just kidding. He was freaking out and her crying was uncontrollable so I checked on her.  Her lower lip had completely swollen up.  This was our first experience with a...
