A Hap Hap Happy Halloween Party!

The annual Barry Halloween party was rootin-tootin! Our activities included a parade, cake walk, fish pond, get-the ball in the cauldron, pin the nose on the pumpkin and best of all...cousin time for the kids!Bastian was enthralled with his costume...it's easy to see why...he's quite a hunk!
Scottee and Brian's kids were quite incredible weren't they!
 Ashlyn chose to be Grumpy the Care Bear, her favorite one of those creatures! Grumpy is not a word that describes Ashlyn! Carter, the race car guy loves miniature cars thus...

I couldn't decide what to call myself so I ended up being incredible...not to be confused with THE Incredibles!

Kathy Partridge, Faith St Clair, some of our kids and I had a blast at our annual trek to Schnepff Farms Pumpkin Patch! We've been friends for over 15 years.

Schnepff really up-ed their game this year with fireworks, BMX bike stunt show, a teen dance, more shade(!) and a WAY scarier train ride, beside the regular dog show, pig races, go carts, roller coaster, corn maze, Bee ride, airplane ride, boomerang game, mini golf, and yummy food!

Ciara won the pig nose this year at the pig races!


Hey, Brooklynn's growing! 5 ft 2"

Notice who got to be the ____ ___!


The scarey train ride had us laughing and screaming at the same time! We had a riot pointing at regular people and screaming while rolling down the tracks! Then when we got off we hid outside the tunnel and jumped out at the train riders after they came out of it! I'm sure we had a lot more fun then the riders did!

This clown was one of the spooks that came out of the woods to get us as we rode by on the train! The ride goes through orchards in pitch blackness and these spooks come running out of their hiding places or their caskets and scream or lunge at us! It is quite a pants wetter!

October's harvest

John and I got tickets for General Conference for the first time ever! The good news is that flying into Utah was just plain gorgeous with the autumn leaves in all their glory. The bad news is that I got strept throat and was sick as a dog! John took me to Urgent Care and they gave me meds that resurrected me right quick! But not quick enough to get to go to Conference. :(

Wesley Milton Barry was given his name and blessing by his daddy, Rich on October 9th. Millie seemed overjoyed about it! But then she seems overjoyed about everything. She is such a happy little darlin'!



Millie dumped out the toy bin, climbed on top of it and proceeded to read a book!

Mollie, in the meantime, climbed into Wesley's swing to make herself comfortable!

John and I got a groupon for two nights in Prescott so off we went! We walked all over town and went on car rides to Chino Valley and we saw autumn leaves! I'm obsessed with those things!

Devin is the MAN! He cleaned our carpets so good they look brand new (except where ChiChi peed on them the very next day! Anybody want a dog? Please!!! I'll even throw in a bag of dog food!) From sun up to long past sun down Devin ran up RAN up and down the stairs and worked like a fiend. Thanks Devin!

About Me

My photo
john and brenda
I am grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I grew up in Utah with my wonderful parents and four siblings, three older sisters and a younger brother. From the time I was three years-old until I got married at age 20, I lived in the same home that my dad built. John and I met through my best friend, Connie, who happened to be John's first cousin. We met at his mission homecoming talk at Church. He became my second-best friend since I was already dating his best friend's younger brother. Confused yet! To make a long story short, we got married 6 weeks before my missionary got home. Our marriage has been a great ride! John and I have been incredibly blessed with seven of the greatest kids ever! They are the joy of our lives and as they 'increase' so does our joy. Six of our children have chosen wonderful spouses and through those unions, we have been given sixteen grandchildren to cherish so far. We hope that this is just the beginning! I am very grateful for my firm and strong testimony of the gospel and of God's love for each of us.
