Lots to report

Adrienne loves flowers & can not pass up smelling any of them! She's my big helper in the garden. We planted some seeds together a few weeks ago & the baby plants are finally growing. She's so excited & it's fun to watch her exploring in the garden.
Adrienne went to the movies for the first time. She was a little nervous at first but once the movie started she was fine. We saw Horton hears a Who. (Eli & I went too.) It was enjoyed by all & the scary parts didn't make anyone cry!
Nana came for a visit this week. The kids loved having her around to play games, read to them, & take them out to eat with her! They can't wait till we fly to CA to visit with family & friends.
Tony took his mom on a date to the (GMA) Dove Awards while she was here. It's fun living close to Nashville.
Here's my farmer boy!
The kids were very helpful when we took Nana to the airport. They were fighting over who would get to pull Nana's suitcase. This is the solution they came up with & it worked great.

Gentry Farm



This week I had the privilege of going with Eli on a field trip to a farm about an hour away from school. They got to pretend that they were archaeologists looking for proof that farmers had lived in the area. What's more fun than digging in the dirt looking for cow bones & old farm equipment? They also got to look at chickens & homing pigeons, go through a hay maze, play farmer, play chef, play farmer's market & pretend to be a fly caught in a spider's web. I think the favorite though was visiting & feeding the cows. Have you seen a cow pee recently? Trust me it gets lots of Eeeeeewwwww's & giggles!!!

This is Eli's class & teacher Ms. Brimm.

Spring Break

So for our relaxing week of Spring Break we decided to paint & decorate both kids rooms!



Eli has a pirate room with a new bunk bed (pirate ship)! He sleeps on the top bunk & the bottom has become a landing spot for all the pirate adventures his little pirates have.


We chose a Blue Silver color (the one in the middle) for his walls, but I'm not sure the color translated quite right in the photos.







Adrienne has a new pink & green princess room with a loft bed. She loves having some extra play space under the bed & it really makes her floor look more open.






This is the color we chose for her walls.
