Barker's Wildgame Cookout 2009

Brett decided to have a wildgame cookout so he could clean out the freezer to get ready for the 2009 -2010 hunting season. We invited some of our friends and family to enjoy the wildgame. There were so many precious children! We cooked deer, dove, duck, quail, and wild hog. Some girls even tried the wildgame but we also had chicken for those who were not so brave. It was perfect weather and we enjoyed spending time with everyone. Maybe next year we'll have enough meat for a Barker's 2010 Wildgame Cookout!

Tucker's Dedication

Tucker's baby dedication was this past Sunday. There was about ten other babies dedicated along with him. Tucker was patient and did a great job! He did have a spit-up episode while he was in front of the church but thankfully not while the preacher was talking to him.

Here are a few pictures of Tucker's big day with his Papa, Grammy, and Uncle Ryan. Tucker, mommy and daddy love you and we promise to live by Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. "

Cute Boy!

I just wanted to share this picture of Tuck. The crab outfit is one of my favorites that a sweet friend let me borrow. We went to Peach Park tonight to eat some peach icecream and I of course had to take a picture with Tucker holding a peach.

Mother's Retirement / Tucker's Big Mess

Mother had a small retirement party today at her office. My family and I are so happy for her! She has worked hard her entire life and deserves some rest. However, she is keeping Tucker when I go back to work, so I'm not sure how much rest she will get!

My friends have told me stories of their children having really bad poops and ruining their outfits. Well, I guess I thought my child was the exception because he has never done such a thing until today. After most people had left the party, Tucker finished a bottle and OUT OF NOWHERE poop comes out of his diaper! It got all over my outfit, his, and all over the floor! I guess this really can happen. I'm just glad the party was over and not many people had to witness this event! I hope Mother enjoys taking care of these little messes! Tucker - I love you so much and I don't care how many accidents you have!

Friends

Tucker has two sweet friends that live across the street - Sara Kate and Luke Moatts. Sara Kate is 5 and starting kindergarten this year. Luke is just 6 weeks older than Tucker. Jill and I are hoping that our boys will enjoy playing together. We won't have to worry about them because Sara Kate will keep them straight!

Tucker's Fish!

Brett bought this outfit for Tucker at the I.C.A.S.T. show in Orlando. It's a little tight; Tucker weighs 15 pounds! Brett cannot wait to go fishing with his little Tuck.
