Well I finally decided to join the blogging craze. I have always thought that I didn't have time, and that it would be too complicated (I am not very computer savvy). But a friend of mine convinced me that it was a great way to keep everyone updated on our crazy lives all in one place with only one easy(her word not mine) blog. She said that it could simplify things, I would only have to update the blog and then send out an e-mail to anyone I wanted to have it and then they could come and check it out, eliminating the need to e-mail notes/letters to people with pretty much the same info over and over. Sounds easy enough now if I could only figure out how to get the dishes to do themselves....
I guess to start out with I should introduce our crew.
Mom: (Me) Wendy
Mom to five wife to one.
Dad: Byron
I must say in my opinion the best husband out there. Also a great Dad!!!
Kids:
Alyssa-age 9 in the 4th grade
Loves listening to music and singing, playing video games, and riding her horses.
Hailey-age 7 in the 2nd grade
Loves dancing, singing, and helping with her new baby brother.
Caysen-age 4
Loves to play with his trucks and farm animals. Also loves playing cowboy/rodeo with his brother. Can often be found helping his dad or grandpa around the ranch.
Brayden-age 3
Loves to draw and play with play dough. Also loves to play with his brother in their adventures. Can often be found following his older brother around the ranch.
Korbyn-age 1 month
Loves to sleep and eat. Doesn't mind the occasional bath. Can often be found being packed around the house by mom or one of his siblings. Rarely does he touch the floor.
So here goes nothing. I hope that you will all enjoy our blog. Welcome to the crazy world of the Barkhurst Family!!!

Ok if you were wondering, no I didn't drop off the face of the earth. Things have been pretty crazy around here the last month. And I have to admit my picture taking has been as bad as my blogging, so not too many pictures sorry. So here is a quick run down of what we have been up to this last month. Hailey turned 8 on July 29th. We celebrated with some family and friends by having a BBQ at the lake just like she wanted. It was a lot of fun. It is really hard to believe how fast she has grown up. August 3rd thru the 9th we survived our first county fair. For those of you who may not have every had this experience let me explain. Alyssa is in 4-H, and so through out the year she works on projects to present/show at fair. So this year she participated in shooting sports, where she continued to learn and improver her shooting skills (yes, with a gun). Cooking, she ended up taking cookies and banana bread to fair. Horse, she barrel races and rides in a timed event where she has to weav...

Let the challenge begin!

The girls' newest craze is watching the food network. (I know I should be happy about this there are a ton of other things they could be watching that are A LOT worse.) One of their favorite shows is a show where there are teams of two people who are given a theme, a time limit, and only the products provided to them. With these things they have to create cakes, some of them are pretty amazing. They are then judged on how well they did, and a winner is chosen. Well The kids decided to have a challenge of their own. So we made some play dough and they went at it. They were going to make just "cakes" but in the end we came up with some pretty neat creations. Who would have know that this would keep them busy and happy for the last three days and many more to come!! It even helps us learn our letters!! Korbyn couldn't stay away either. Although he wasn't sure about the taste, but the hand prints were cute. Caysen and Brayden had fun making footballs of all co...

Learning to ride a bike, Barkhurst style!!

Image
First the pep talk. The running seat hold. Always a good start. When all else fails lead by example. Maybe on a bike more your size? With that example in mind and a new bike seat, (way to go dad) we are ready to try it out our self. After a few falls, don't worry nothing serious, and a few run-ins with the tree, (The tree survived), we think we might just have it. SUCCESS!!!!! I did it daddy, I knew I could!! -Caysen
