Pumpkin Patch at Linder Farms

This year were able to go to the Pumpkin Patch a couple of different times. Our first trip was with our friends Brett, Megan and their daughter Madie. It was a lot of fun! It is always nice to catch up with good friends.

Happy 1st Birthday Sage!

Today, we celebrated Sage's first Birthday. We had a pizza party with our little family. Sage loved the balloons and managed to eat her entire dinner using one hand. Yep! she could not bring herself to release the balloon from her tight little grip. I can't believe that my baby girl is a one year old. Sage you are such a wonderful blessing to our family. We love you so very much!

Gentry Goes to Preschool

Gentry started Preschool this year. We have her enrolled at the BSU preschool that McKay attended. I love this school!!!! Gentry has her buddy Taya in her class and has been pretty excited that they get to hang out a couple times a week. While at school Gentry doesn't say much but it is obvious that she is having a great time.

McKay's First day of Kindergarten!

McKay started Kindergarten this year. These are pictures from his first day. I can't remember the last time I saw McKay this excited. I told McKay, "that when kids go to Kindergarten they have to make sure their beds are made, rooms are cleaned and teeth are brushed." The first day he woke up early and had all the duties done before he came into our room. Hopefully, that excitement sticks around. We love you McKay!!!!

Hair Cutting Party For Two!!!

Shortly, after Brady and Erins Wedding McKay and Gentry decided to have a "hair cutting party". McKay did the cutting and it took place on the front lawn. I knew they had scissors and they were trimming the long pieces of grass. Needless to say "I think the grass got boring".

I was able to laugh about the situation within about 10 min. but I was not thinking of pictures as I was cleaning piles of hair up off the grass. Ahhh! However, I did manage to get one picture. (not pictured are the four chunks that were taken off from the back and the side)

Wow! I sure do love these kids!!!!

Lately, Sage has been giving some pretty funny faces. She never fails to surprise us! We love you Sage!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Mckay!!!

This year for Mckay's birthday we had a family birthday party. McKay was pretty excited that his Nana, two of his aunts and his buddy Andrew were able to make it to the "big event". Mckay chose to go to POJOS and out to eat at Donnie Macs Trailer Park Cuisine. We happened to hit POJOS on a "double ticket night". It turned out they matched the amount of tickets you earn. Mckay was very grateful. We had a great time on the carousel ride and bumper cars. Dinner was also very exciting! McKay, Andrew, Gentry and dad were able to eat in the car and have bottled Root Beer. All and all it was a fun night! We are grateful for McKay and feel blessed that he is part of our family.

Spring Break in St. George....

The kids and I decided to take a little trip to Saint George with Danny's sister Kris and her three kids. Unfortunately, our husbands had to work. The drive down was a little crazy! We learned not to give drinks out right after getting into the car. Yep! we had a lot of "potty breaks". All and all we had a great time. Warm weather, fun activities and a lot of wonderful time with extended family.

Enjoying the Warm Weather at the Pool!

The kids playing at Fiesta Fun! This was the first year that the kids could drive their own cars.

Kids Spring Photos 2009

Here are some pictures of the kids that I took back in March. We got fooled by the weather. It looked nice but it was pretty chilly when we started taking the pictures. They were troopers, I did not hear a single complaint. I could not be more grateful for my kids. I love you Mckay, Gentry and Sage!!!!

Happy Birthday Gentry aka "Toad"

A couple of weeks ago Gentry decided to change her name to "Toad" It made singing Happy Birthday to her pretty funny!!!

She is only "3" we can't expect her to get the lipstick on perfectly right???

Mckay gave Gentry this night gown and she wore it for the next two days.

Gentry wanted a princess bike

We had a family swimming party this year, but Gentry was able to have a really fun princess play date with her pal Taya...

Adventure to Minnesota!!!

My mom was unable to make it to Idaho for the holidays so my sister Heide and I decided to make the trip for a visit. We had so much fun. It was quite an adventure having two little ones on the plane. It will definitely be a trip that we won't forget... Thanks Mom! It was really good to see you.

Christmas in Pocatello

We were able to spend Christmas in Pocatello with my dad and step-mom. We had a great time. Unfortunatley, I did not do the best with taking pictures.

The dress Gentry is wearing was my Christmas dress when I was little.

Uncle Tanner watching a little Basketball with Sage Gentry playing "dress up" with one of her Christmas gifts.

It finally snowed!!!

Once we got the snow it did not take long for the kids to start playing in it. Danny tied the sled to his bike and rode around the neighborhood. Sage and I stayed nice and warm watching from the window.
