Gentry

This is a very late post. Our new little addition arrived Mon. Aug 16. He's a big boy already competing for size with Brinton. Everyone has been so gad he's here, and we have lots of helpers. I'm so grateful that he is here. I too have been trying to change my diet to help him be more happy and not so fussy. Many thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for coming to share his blessing day with us.

Gentry's first cowboy hat!!! He HATES it (heee heee).

We took the evening to go out and enjoy the beautiful wild flowers. It was very warm, but we all loved to see so many different types of flowers there were around. This area was FULL of Indian Paintbrushes. Everyone gathered armfuls of flowers to take home to press.

Connor was named one of the STAR students of the month!! Way to go Connor!!

This is a scary picture of the alligator gar that the boys caught out fishing at the lake we swim in!!! Most research says they stay away from humans.

The very large delicious catfish they boys also caught.

First things first!! Alot has happened since my last post. Of course there was Thanksgiving, adoption, Patrick's baptism, Christmas, G-ma and Pa and Aunt Meagon coming for the special day of our sealing, and birthday's.

Ethan got a new skate board, helmet and pads

Connor and Patrick got pogo sitcks and I-shuffle

Ami's sweet young women friends made us a special temple cake the evening of our sealing. It was very thoughtful of them. What a special day. The kids were wonderful, and beautiful. Thankyou Aunt Meagon, Grandma and Grandpa for coming so far to be with us. We really appreciated their support.



Of course Hannah turned 3!!! Such a big girl.

Patrick turned 9!! He's growing up !!

I think Dad was feeling left out on the new hairdo's provided by Hannah and the others

I canot believe how much our family has grown. It's surreal. I never would have immagined this when I was growing up... or for that matter 3 years ago!!! We have been so blessed. I am grateful for so many things, especially to know we are all children of God and he knows each and everyone of us and is there for us. We all love and miss all the family up NORTH.
