"i said..."



".....NO MORE PICTURES!"
I apparently reached my limit today of how many pictures one can take. Kate has had enough!
People often comment on us having 3 blondes but look at those eyebrows and lashes.Then check yesterdays post. Kate is not going to be blonde much longer!

beanie


Hayli had to have a beanie today. Apparently all the cool kids are wearing them in April this year. When I told her we were not going to buy one this morning before school she settled on Gentry's hat. I actually think it turned out cute and frankly I was happy with the smiles instead if tears. And really happy if you take the ribbon out it seems to be one size fits all! (Now I just need to persuade her Orange is the new neutral so she can wear it with all her clothes.)

cold + rain = zoo day


Hayli's best day ever! We were wet and cold but those giggly girls loved every minute.
You can't see in the picture well but their pants were soaked.

no joke

ok I know this isn't the first post on Gentry's hair and I know this isn't a blog just about Gentry however, she is the one I spend the most time with. I just can't help but show this one. This was her hair this morning, I am not kidding, this is how she woke up. What is a mother to do with this hair. ....... seriously it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I am starting to believe she brake dances in her crib at night!!

warning

may not be suitable for all viewers......I know this isn't good parenting (just in case you wondered) but I did allow it to happen, yes this is Gentry in the washer. Despite her tussled look she did not actually go through a wash! She didn't love it, surprised? It did, however make me laugh on a ordinary laundry day.


She did deserve it though.......this is my best picture of Easter dresses.


In their defense I did say lets go outside a get a picture of your dresses, I apparently need to be more specific.
I'd also like to see your face :)!

miraculous



One of the great things about having a almost 2 year old in the house is being able to see things in their perspective. I am frustrated with the cool temperature and she helps me be amazed at the seeming miraculous warm air that shows up unexpectedly. Thanks Gen for changing my mood today!

a quiet place

Casey had just finished working on some "honey do" projects on Saturday and Conference had started so he left said project all over including a can of wood stain,(Yes I said wood stain) unattended.........I believe you all know where I am going now. Of course Gentry found it and brought it to me that helpful little girl! She carried it so carefully on its side from the dinning room to the family room across wood, tile and carpeting. not to mention her jeans were ruined. While Casey and I were cleaning I found her here. No I didn't put her in the pantry she apparently needed a quiet place to read while crazy mom was trying to figure out how the stain was left out with no lid........conclusion...... Casey is a master at cleaning and nobody would ever know we had this spill PLUS he finally admitted our carpet is ready to be replace Yeah! not that it will be replace soon, but he is on board! Did loose a pair a pants though, a small cost compared to flooring!

ps Looking back on the picture Kim just posted her pantry as a example of organization, lets just admit I apparently could use her services here. And yes those are Kate's shoes, Gen loves shoes especially if they are not hers!

easter









We had a great Easter weekend, egg hunts, easter crafts, easter treats, easter dresses, play time with both sides of the family, not to mention a visit from the "bunny"! And to top it of we were able to watch General Conference. All and all we are ready for spring break! Lets hope spring makes a showing.......
yes I know that Kate has a little bit of a spooky expression but they were happy and holding still. Take the shot when you can!

3 days

Gentry's Easter gift last year........... this year we might have to take the flip flops back? Obviously last week was to early to get out the swings. Who knew? 3 days till Easter and Hayli had hot chocolate for breakfast. I remember stories of when Tyece was born and I believe they all start with "Dad went out to shovel the walks.,..." I guess it really happens.
