I'm Leavin

So I did all these posts because I had to get ride of all the pics on my camera cuz I am on my way to AUSTRALIA and New Zealand with my parents. We are off to go and see my sis. and her family!!! So excited. Next time you see me I should have some really awesome pictures!!!

FHE

I have been wanting to take Gentry to the temple and explain a little to her so we finally went. Here it is just a few min. away and I don't think she has ever been. We talked about how this was our Heavenly Fathers home and I think that scared her a little bit. I said- "do you want to go in some day?" She said " no I don't want to go in there." She is so funny. Then we went to the visitors center and this sweet older missionary came and talked to us about the Savior. Then he let the kids go up and touch him- they thought that was pretty cool.

The last horse race of the year

This was one of many of Chads jobs this year. He trained and took care of the race horses. Here we are cheering for it to win!!! They are such pretty horses.

Chad's brother Ryan got his kids some pigs to raise and there was one that just had babies. Chad was so excited to take the kids up to see them but of course they were so scared-especially Gentry. They were so cute though.

I was so grateful my mom came here for Gentry's b-day and of course we had so much fun. I just love my mom and miss her so much. I am so grateful we have the telephone so we can talk everyday sometimes 2-3 times a day. Thanks for all your help mom- I love you and appreciate all you do for me!!

My baby is 4!!

Gentry turned 4 this year and I cannot believe it. She had her first friend party and they were so cute. We will do a friend party everyother year though. She decorated her own cake too with these edible markers. She made out good too with all her gifts. We are so proud of her and love the sweet little girl she is. She is the best big sister and loves to play, play and play some more. She also loves to sing. I'm hoping she got her poppie Welch's musical talent. We love you so much Gentry!!!

You know you are really tired when your little brothers foot is in your face and you don't even notice.

This kid

He is probably the messiest child ever to live. Today he decided that he would get even messier and put his food on his head!!! Ahhh he kills me. The floor around him is ALWAYS a mess.

Fun at the Fair

This is one of Chad's favorite things to do every year. This year I won tickets on the radio so we got to go for free. We got to go to the bull riding. We also met up with some of our favorite people- the Stokes. They are our friends from Utah and they always come down too. We just love them and always have so much fun when we get to see them!!! Also Shellie and Jed (Chad's sister) came with us and that was so fun.

Go Rigby!!!!

Here is Klair and Gentry all dressed up to go cheer for the Rigby Trojans. Chad is coaching with his Brother-in-law Casey, his Dad and his brother Shane!! We have so much fun going to the games!!!

Fun at the Zoo

We took our kids to the zoo this summer and had such a fun time. Our zoo here is not very big but its also not very expensive either. It is the perfect size for kids (and me). Then we went over and rode the farris wheel. We had such a fun time!!

Swim Lessons

This was Gentry's first year of swim lessons. She didn't like it too much at first but by the end thought it was pretty cool. She learned how to put her face under water (which is HUGE for her) and swim a little. Her teacher was this high school boy who was just awesome with them. We are excited to do it again next summer and see how far she gets then. Also at the end of the lessons for the year they all have to jump off the diving board-even if they are scared to death which of course Gentry was. But by the end she was happy she did. I asked her if she wanted to jump off again though and she was not going to do it again!!

Suprise Chad and Jed

My sister-in-law Shellie and I gave our husbands a suprise b-day party since they both turned 30 this year. It was pretty fun because we were able to really suprise both. Chad just kept saying "your a month late" . We never had a free weekend though!!

Calen loves to play with the hose and get soaking wet. Which turns into a big mess for me. Also loves pop. He found this Mountain Dew (empty) and just kept trying and trying to get some pop out of it. He did get a few drops. And no we don't give him a bunch of pop either.
