That thing you do...

Gentry is getting to an age where she is doing and saying so many cute and new things, that I just won't be able to remember everything. So I decided to create this cute journal where I can document all the cute and silly things she does and says, that mean something to Alex or I. It will be so fun to look back on it in a few years! I am not much of a journaler, but hopefully I will be motivated to keep up on this one!


I actually created it to be used for all of our kids, however many we end up with! But as you can see in the pic above there are only three "tabs" so that may just have to be our limit!!!HAHA

a natural.

Here is a video and a picture of Gentry swimming. She is quite the natural! Watch her legs and arms, she moves them so fast, and it is hilarious! She is just swimming her little heart out. She also likes to jump in from the side, although we couldn't get her to do it today for the camera. Everything is on her own terms these days!

Crested Butte


In this one big huge post will be lots of little posts of all the fun things we did in Crested Butte! Alex's family has a few cabins about 10 miles out of town. It is so fun and relaxing to get out into the mountains and just play! So below are some pics and narrative of our fun week!


Hiking:

There are so many places to hike, whether you are a wuss like me, when it comes to hiking or a hiking "guru". Gentry and I stuck to the "wussy" hikes, being it was Gentry's first time ever hiking! And let me tell you, "crocs" may be the newest thing for hiking! I know they are nerdy, but they are the easiest things to slip on her at this age! So, although they are the wal-mart brand, I have fallen victim!

Until Gentry figured out she was going to trip over every rock or limb on the ground, and needed to "watch" where she was walking, this is how she spent most of her time!

She loves walking in anything that splashes!

The 4th of July!!

We started out the 4th making these yummy cookies! The kids loved decorating them, but as you can tell, ate 2 cookies for every 1 they actually put sprinkles on!
Then we went into town for the CB parade, and ended up missing the parade, because we got there too late. Sad. But, again, Gentry found some nasty water to splash around in. Whatever, it was hot and she had fun!
And of course "fireworks" for the kids. The classic "poppers" and streamer shooty things (i have no idea what they are called!) By any means, it was a fun-filled day, that I am sure Gentry has already forgotten! Good thing I take lots of pics!
I found that G had climbed onto the table to get into the icing. Surprising?! Absolutely not!







OK, that's all the posting energy I have right now, but I'll post a few other cute things later!
