Alabama and Landon are beautiful kids. Both have brown hair and blue eyes, so so cute. Too bad Atiana is never around. Seems like her bio dad Odcar de la hoya doesn’t look for her much, and you don’t see travis with her much either.

Okay so I’ve always thought both kids are adorable, but that first pic of just Alabama and Travis is the cutest picture I’ve ever seen of Alabama!!! She has the cutest expression on her face and she’s even pointing at the cameras, totally my favorite picture of her yet. =) And Landon is getting so big! He’s such a cutie too.

Those kids are just adorable…I love seeing them! I am having trouble figuring Alabama’s outfit out though, it seems kind of odd? Am I missing something/not seeing something right??? Either way…I love this family and wish Travis and Shanna would be together!
August 5th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
awww, the kids are so freakin adorable! I really hope shanna and travis can get back together for good.

The Barker kids are some of the cutest in Hollywood– I actually met them, along with Shanna’s daughter Atiana when visiting family in California last year. Soooo cute in person. Shanna and Travis are wonderful parents and love those kids to death. They may be broken up for now, but I think those two are absolutely meant to be together, and they’ll always reunite eventually.

I was caught by Alabama’s outfit as well. It looks like a homemade outfit taking a floral top and sewing it onto a rock style skirt. I like the juxtaposition, but was wondering if it was a store-bought/label outfit or a homemade style one?

Those kids are adorable, but does anybody think Nobu is a strange choice to bring babies/toddlers?? Not only can’t I imagine there’s much for them to eat on the menu, but I think it’s disrespectful to other diners. Lunch might be acceptable, but bringing kids to dinner at a fancy, trendy Japanese place is really rude to other diners who are probably there for a night out away from their own kids. I eat at Nobu often, but we hire a babysitter.

The outfit looks more like she has a Metallica sweatshirt tied around her waist.

PSB – the same thought went through my head. I love Nobu, but its not exactly the most kid friendly of restaurants. Who knows, maybe these little ones love the cuisine.
August 5th, 2007 at 10:17 pm
Such cuties! PSB, I understand your concern, but it’s possible that these kiddies are well-behaved in restaurants, ya know?
August 5th, 2007 at 10:32 pm
You know, I think that comment about the kids not being there to eat diner was the rudest i’ve seen here. I can’t stand when someone says things like that when my family are out and my 2 youngest are crying. There just kids. I don’t usually have much to say but this offended me. You don’t have the right to complain about anyone’s kids unless you’re paying their bill. I’m glad we won’t be seeing you next time we are out.

I personally don’t think the comment about children at Nobu was out of line. I think that there are some restaurants that are kid friendly and others that are more for adults. Why is that so wrong? Just like any situation, some just aren’t kid friendly.
With that said, I think those kids are absolutely adorable. I’ve always gotten the idea that Travis is a great dad.
August 5th, 2007 at 11:23 pm
If there is a child at a restraunt that isn’t what people would call kid friendly. I don’t care. Even if they are crying, I don’t care. I think it’s great that the parents have their kids with them instead of with someone else. If it’s a “kid place” or an “adult place” more power to the parents!!
About the dress… it is sewn onto the shirt, not tied. I’m guessing it was a dress from somewhere and the bottom half was a shirt. I haven’t seen the top half of her dress.. sorry I couldn’t help.

Frankly, I think you may be in the minority about not caring about a child crying in a namely adult restaurant. I can assure you that many of the other diners care. Just like most people hate it when adults talk loudly on their cell phones in a nice restaurant, many also hate it when children are screaming/crying in a nice restaurant. I think that it is just common courtesy to try to avoid either situation if possible. It may not bother you, but it does bother plenty of other people.

You notice how you always see Travis being with the kids. Here, he is juggling kids, friends and with no nannies. Where’s Shanna? Say what you want about all the tattoos and stuff but Travis is a great dad and loves his kids.
August 6th, 2007 at 4:06 am
Can we switch the subject….I can’t believe they are still giving a bottle to a 19 month old!!! She should be on a sippy cup….clearly this is a crutch for mom and dad!!
And the restaurant comment…Here’s my two cents….To each their own!
August 6th, 2007 at 5:48 am
The kids are adorable, Travis ain’t too bad either!
August 6th, 2007 at 6:22 am
Her outfit looks like it’s by Claude (lalaling.com has a bunch of Claude). They retool old rock tee shirts into dresses and tee shirts for toddlers.

“You know, I think that comment about the kids not being there to eat diner was the rudest i’ve seen here.”
You know, I think your entire post was the biggest, worst case of overreacting and over-sensitivity I’ve seen here. Do you always get so taken aback and offended when other people politely state opposing opinions?
“I can’t stand when someone says things like that when my family are out and my 2 youngest are crying. There just kids… You don’t have the right to complain about anyone’s kids unless you’re paying their bill.”
Wow. Just…wow. I work in a restaurant, so I’ve known all along that parents like you who basically allow their children to act like they are at home when they should be expected to behave accordingly exist, but seeing a parent so blatantly admit that the world revolves around their children and to hell with anyone who doesn’t want to tolerate their obnoxious behavior is extremely disheartening to me. Guess what, sweetheart? Unless you’re dining in a restaurant with only one table, other patrons ARE paying their bills, and they go out expecting to enjoy a nice meal-not deal with toddlers screaming, throwing tantrums, and disrupting other guests. You have NO right to dictate to other patrons whether they should just put up with your kids’ crying. If your kids aren’t going to behave, don’t take them out. Period.
“I’m glad we won’t be seeing you next time we are out.”
And I hope you never come to my restaurant. It’s attidudes like yours that make me thank God I only work in this industry temporarily.

Power to you, Lauren, for putting jen in her place.
Jen, I work in food service and constantly have to put up with crabby children and inattentive parents. I’d like to see you survive one day working in a restaurant with a small child screaming and crying in your ear. Maybe then you’ll come to your senses.
August 6th, 2007 at 9:26 am
Beautiful family, beautiful kids!
Enough said!
August 6th, 2007 at 9:47 am
As someone who doesn’t have kids yet but was one not too long ago, I can say that I belive there is a time and place for children to be out with parents. Just as most of us would be appalled to see a toddler at a concert late at night, so might we be slightly miffed (no matter how much we love kids–as I think everyone on this blog does)if you were out for a dinner with friends and found that there was a table with kids next to you. As well behaved as they may be, it may place a strain on otherwise natural adult conversation because of the fear that the kids might overhear a curse word, or something inappropriate.
In cases where the eatery is clearly for adults (no child menu/no kids seats), it is best for all involved for children to remain at bay. I know my own parents didn’t take me out to adult restaurants until I was old enough to do long division:)

Thanks for coming to my defense Lauren.
I just truly believe that there are some places that are kid friendly and some that aren’t. Nobu is a restaurant made for adults, not children – not only do adults there probably not want to deal with other people’s children, but I really can’t imagine a child having much fun there –it’s LOUD and cramped and the menu is mostly spicy and raw fish. I have eaten there many times and have yet to see a young child there during dinner time, so it’s definitely not the norm. People are obviously free to bring their kids wherever they want (though Nobu may actually have a no babies policy – I haven’t checked), but then they should not be surprised when people get annoyed if their children cry.
However, if you take your kid to a place like California Pizza Kitchen and people complain about your child, then IMO it’s kind of their problem for going to a place that is family-oriented – it’s designed to serve families and children. If you bring your children to a place like Nobu, you do so at your own risk.
I’m actually shocked that there are people who feel it’s appropriate to take their child anywhere they want. Your world may revolve around your child, but THE world does not. I say this as a mother to a young toddler, whom my world revolves around.

I love kids as much as the next person, but there are defininitely some restaurants that are adult only. And even at the family restaurants it is not acceptable to allow your kids to cry while others are trying to enjoy their meal. Take them out to the lobby like you do at the movies or at church. It’s common courtesy.
August 6th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
Reeni and Lauren want to make comments like that here, but they aren’t brave enough to take my e-mails. If your job is to serve people then do your job, keep your mouth shut, or go home!!

This is a very American view. Europe does not follow this at all, and the kids learn from an early age how to act.

I think Alabama and Landon are very cute and Travis looks like a hands on daddy! good for him!
As far as the restaurant. Who knows what went on inside? Maybe he had a private area away from the other patrons. Maybe his kids like spicy foods (not so much Alabama but the older two). My nephew is 5 yrs old and since he was about 2 he’s been eating spicy foods of all kinds!
Quite frankly kids at restaurants don’t bother me unless of course they’re out of control and the parents don’t take control of them. I was at a restaurant once and the kids were under the table, then they were jumping in the booths, and the next thing you know they’re throwing spoons and forks and what did the parents do?…nothing! I also have been at a restuarant myself w. nieces and nephews that haven’t been to thrilled but we def. try to entertain them and make them be quiet and behave. But unless the restaurant says, No children under [insert age] is permitted then it pretty much means anyone can go to this establishment and the other people eating there just have to know that it’s not a kid free zone all the time.

You people are so rude and offensive to kids. People will take their kids out where they want to. If you are a waitress you have to deal with it. Anyone that is rude to a kid has major problems. If you don’t like it, get another job. It was funny to hear someone say it was their resturant just because they serve people there. Honey, you don’t own the place. People like you shouldn’t have kids.
