~The Barker Kids~

I haven't done a post on my kids in awhile so I thought maybe it was a good time to write about just them. They are both getting so big I can't even believe it! I love being able to stay home with them and see all of the fun/ funny little things that they do. Seriously being a mom is the BEST! And I love these two little cuties!

Cru is 8 months old now and just the happiest laid back little guy there is. However he NEVER wants to just sit still. He constantly has to be moving around. I honestly can't even hardly stand to hold him for very long because he just wiggles constantly and wants to be put down. He recently has become quite the pro at crawling. He has been scooting/ semi-crawling for about a month and a half but just recently he picked up on the real thing. I think he is going to be walking here shortly though, because I can tell he really wants to and he tries to pull himself up to stand all the time. He also puts EVERYTHING in his mouth, and so I have to watch him constantly. I don't think I have ever vacuumed as much as I have in the last few months. He is so fun though, and we all just love him!

He also got his first "real" haircut this last week.

Sophie is getting so big. She is so funny and is always "helping" me out with Cru.

Although a lot of times her idea of helping out isn't quite my idea, but she tries. 

She really loves Cru!

She talks very well and is always telling me stories 

that she makes up. They are pretty funny usually! She loves to play with her friends and cousins and even prays for them at night. Its so cute! She is all girl! She loves anything and everything girly. Sophie is really into princesses right now and pretends that she is Cinderella, Nick is the Prince, and I'm Repunzel. 

Cru, however, is Donald Duck (she also loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse). 

She loves to play outside in her play house and also loves to 

make casseroles with Nick and me in her play kitchen.  She also loves her doll who is named Baby Jane.

She does everything with baby Jane that we do with Cru. :)

Me and Sophie are best buds. She always wants to do whatever I do.

The other day her and I went on a little mommy daughter date to the movie "The Croods" and it was so fun!

She likes to put my shoes on and walk around the house... she's pretty good at it too considering the height of the heels.

I probably could go on forever about these two, I won't, but I could. So to sum it up,

 Lets just say

We pretty much think our kids are the greatest! 

~Easter 2013~

We had a great Easter this year! We enjoyed time with family, looking for easter eggs, wearing "pretty easter dresses", coloring eggs, eating candy, enjoying the warmer weather and everything else that comes along with this fun time of year. 

Sophie really got into this year and especially loved looking for easter eggs. She still likes me to hide them around the house or yard for her to go find. Oh ya she loves the candy too. In fact I had to hide it all so she couldn't reach it because those first couple days after Easter I would catch her sneaking some when I wasn't paying attention. Cru had fun too, well as much fun as a 7 month old can. They both looked cute for church on Sunday. Sophie loves wearing her "Cinderella" easter dress, but I am still kicking myself because I never got a picture of them all the way ready (you know, hair done shoes on, ect.). Oh well! 

And of course here are a few pictures :)
