Today was Christmas Sunday so we got all dressed up. We didn't have much time though and as you can see Gentry's hair is a little crazy. BUT we did get to church on time and that is a huge accomplishment!! Anyway, Merry Christmas. I don't know if we are going to get Christmas cards sent out this year so here is one of the many pictures we tried to take. Not real easy with Gentry. She doesn't like to smile when you tell her to.

Happy Halloween (a little late)

As you can see chad and I were Dracula and his wife. We always have a Halloween party with his family usually we all dress up. These costumes did get a little old with all the make-up and hair.


Calen was our little ghost. He was so cute. Gentry was a fifties girl and these are her cousins that she went trick-or-treating with. This was the first year that she understood it so it was fun to take her.

I just love this picture, can you tell I'm a proud mom!!

So my poor baby girl got a horrible black eye. She had a big kitchen chair fall on her. She never did complain of her eye hurting. Everyone has said that she should be a boxer for halloween. It is pretty much gone now though so I guess that is out of the question.

This was our pride and joy of our garden this year. We had so much fun watching it grow and grow.

Chad is coaching high school football and loving it. It is so fun to go to his games and watch him. His has not lost a game yet.

My awesome brothers and sister

My sister might be moving soon so this trip to Colorado was to see her and her family one last time. We had so much fun and I am just so lucky to have the family I have. My parents are so great. We had so much fun staying with them. I love my sister too and hope that if they go to Australia, they will have fun. I am not sure what I am going to do without her when I can't just call her up on the phone to get something off my mind. She is the best , and most thoughtful sister around. I love you Cami and family. See you in Australia.

Trey's blessing

I was so glad that we were in Colorado during the time that Trey got blessed. This is KC and Emily's new baby boy. He is so cute.

I'm a quilter now.

I made this quilt for one of my best friends Niki Sanders for her new baby boy!!! My aunt Dorothy helped me with a lot of it but I had so much fun and can't wait to do another one. We had a girls night (all my cousins, sisters, mom and aunts) where we quilted. It was so fun. I was so glad that we got to do that while I was in Colorado this time. We had a lot of fun. I started this quilt Sat. afternoon at 3:00pm went to bed at 3:00am, along with my mom and aunt, and then got up at 8:00am to finish it by the time of the shower which was 10:30am. Crazy!!

Calen Loves his poppie

Calen is a big time momma's boy but for some reason he loved my Dad.

Gentry is 3!!!!

Gentry turned three on September 13th but we didn't celebrate her birthday until we got to Colorado. She had a great birthday party with all her cousins. I tried to make a cupcake cake and it turned out totally stupid looking. I think I needed more icing. Gentry got barbies, barbies and more barbies. She love barbies right now.

Eating out

We always have so much fun when we go to Colorado. My parents took us to a restaurant where they cook infront of you. They put fire on our plates and Gentry was not very sure about that.

Riden around

Jared got a new ride so he took us for a spin. I drove it too and I was not very good. Not that it was even hard, it was just kind of scary. I am a wimp in my old age.

Parker Fair

Fun at the Fair

This is the Idaho State Fair. It is fun to go to. We love to go and eat the food!!

The top picture is Brock, Chad's sisters boy, he and Calen are about 4 months apart and Calen gets so excited when Brock comes around him. Then there is Klair, Chad's brothers girl, who lives in our same street. She and Gentry love to play together.

Cruisen around

Remember when you thought that these were the coolest things ever? Gentry's little friend has one and they think that this is the funnest thing on the block.
