Random photos as of late.

Since we have been gone so much lately, my blogging has been slacking. I'll try to get photos up as soon as possible from our recent adventures/outings but in the meantime here are a few from before our many travels.

Silly kid.

Wearing his fedora like a sun bonnet.

And the fedora makes another appearance...this time with cowboy boots.

"What mom?" "Can't a kid ride his dino with a hard hat on?"

His expressions are priceless.

"Whoa, Tonto!"

Gentry, recently.

Swinging at Marmaduke Park.

Testing out picture locations to take our family photo.

This is the face of little boy who is sad because he got himself stuck in his too small for him walker.

Looking out the door with his stick horse.

Daddy kisses!

Trying on his hat and mittens.

Silly boy.

What a face!

Loving on his teddy bear.

Play-doh time!

So sweet!

Cheese!

Ready for a nap.

His drawing skills have advanced from lines to Powercats!

Blowing bubbles!

Jumping!

Making some art.

Voila! It's a masterpiece!

Life lately and our trip to Independence

Last weekend we travelled to Independence. We got in Friday afternoon and after surprising grandma at work we went to the Indy HS homecoming game. Gentry yelled "football" as soon as we got into the stands and loved the band. At halftime we watched Courtney and the dance team perform and then Gentry, Grandma Vickie and I headed home. Brian and Grandpa Steve stayed to finish out the game. Saturday afternoon we went down to Coffeyville to see Grandpa and Grandma Sandon who were in town from Iowa, Great Grandma Betty and Great Grandpa and Grandma Griswold. Gentry got to decorate Halloween cookies that Grandma Tracy had gotten for him. That evening we headed back to Indy to have a weinie roast and cook smores over the fire. Sunday afternoon, Uncle Eric, Calli and her sweeties came out as well as Great Grandpa and Grandma Russell. After lunch, Gentry and grandma made a "spider pumpkin" and colored with great grandma. We got packed up late that afternoon and headed back to Nevada. Gentry slept the whole way. He was worn out from all of the fun. Here are pictures of the few days prior to our trip and some from our time away from home.

In John Deere green!

Cheese!

Love that sweet face.

Looking cute in his hat.

Love this boy!

Coloring.

Sitting in Lucy's bed. (It's a good thing I had just washed it.)

What a silly boy.

Peeking in to see what daddy brought him back from St. Paul.

It's a moose! (Moose is one of his favorite new words.)

And a book about Minnesota.

And a STICK HORSE!

At the Bulldogs football game.

Watching the game with Aunt Court.

Hanging out with Grandpa Steve.

Daddy bought him a foam bulldog paw.

Go Bulldogs!

Coloring cookies with Grandma Tracy.

Doing such a good job.

Grandpa Mark helping.

Gentry and Great Grandma Betty. He's showing off his decorated hands.

He wanted to go outside as soon as he woke up Sunday morning. Isn't his ensemble great? Dino pj's, Converse and a shark hoodie are all the rage these days.

Riding the rocking horse.

Reading with Great Grandpa Russell.

Making a spider pumpkin!
