The Things We Love

In honor of Valentine's Day we thought we'd share a list of a few things we love. I asked the boys the question, "What five things do you love the most?", and to be honest I expected more off-the-wall answers. But their answers were simple and sweet...just like they are. So, without further ado:

Ethan loves...
1- Pokemon Cards and Toys
2- Froot Loops (he was eating some at the time)
3- Mommy (awwww!)
4- Daddy
5- Aaron and Noah

Noah loves...
1- Going to the park
2- Pokemon
3- Mommy
4- Going to school
5- Playing the Wii

Aaron loves... (Of course he doesn't talk, so his list is based on priorities)
1- Milky-milk (Vitamin D milk in his beloved Nuk sippy cup)
2- Mommy
3- Daddy
4- Little People train
5- Oreos

And what are my favorite five things? I'll explain in pictures:















Happy Valentines Day everyone!

Love,
The Barker's

Sledding at the Cabin

Last weekend we went up to Chad's parents cabin in the Uintah's for a much needed winter break. All of the boys (including Chad) were so excited to spend some time outside playing in the snow. We went for a snowmobile ride then the boys, Chad, and his dad made a sledding hill out behind the back of the cabin--they really caught some air on some of the turns! And I of course stayed where any good summer-lovin' momma should, inside the warm cabin reading a book! ;)

Who, us, irresponsible?!?!

We tried to be responsible this year for Christmas (you have to know that we are ultra-responsible, logical people) so here's what we needed and should have got:





New pots and pans (ours are almost 10 years old), a new computer, or money in the bank towards our yard that we'll have to put in before June 1. But we decided to be irresponsible (gasp!) and with a little talking into on Chad's part we decided to do something fun and get...






A WII! And "wii" have been having so much fun. (Thanks Mom and Ray!)
