Hurray for Crazy Hair Day! Ellie and Gracie show off their fancy doo's

It's Official......

Evan Parker Gentry is officially taller than me.  Measuring in at 5 feet 8 and 3/4 inches, Parker officially passes me up.  And for the record his feet are already bigger than Evan's.  Umm, how did this happen so fast?  

Piper Girl

While taking pictures of the Mullen boys, Piper wanted to prove she was her Mom's Top Model so she grabbed Kurt's hat and started posing until I took some shots.  Here's what I got.  Don't worry Piper, You are my Top Model!

Wahoo, Grace is now in Senior Primary in the CTR 8 Class. That's Big time and she is so excited about it!

A Gentry Year in Review!

2008 was a wonderful year for the Gentry Family!  We had so much fun being together. Since we started off Blogging late into the year, I thought I would post some of the highlights that happened before the blogging days.  It is amazing to me to look back at photos  taken less then a year ago and see how much our children have grown. Reflecting back on the year we realize how much we have to be grateful for!  We wish all of you a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Much love from the Gentry Family.

New Years Eve

Happy New Year!

A Year in Review continued....Idaho

In August we traveled to Idaho to check out Doug and Jayme's new place.  It is wonderful.  We had such a great time.  The kids got to experience Sea-Doo's, Motorcycles and Yellowstone National Park.  Thank you Doug and Jayme for being such gracious hosts!

A Gentry Year in Review continued....Family Trip to Hawaii

In the beginning of August we were lucky enough to go to Hawaii.  It has been a long time tradition for my Parents to gather everyone together and take the whole family on a trip to Hawaii.  We had a fabulous time.  Thank you Mom and Dad!

A Gentry Year in Review continued....Bishop Gentry!

On Mother's Day 2008 Evan and Sandi got called in to meet with our Stake President, President Zundel.  (Happy Mother's Day Sandi!)  Evan was called to be Bishop.  Our Ward was being split and a new Ward, Ladera Ranch 2nd would be created.  It has become a wonderful Ward filled with many talented and kind people.  We often say how blessed we feel to live where we live and be surrounded by such wonderful friends.

A Gentry Year in Review, continued... Max turns FOUR!

On May 11th Max turned four.  He had an awesome Pirate Treasure Hunt Party.  Everyone had a blast.  Look closely  at the Scary Pirate that showed up to take them on a treasure Hunt.  Oh what fun!

A Gentry Year in Review, continued... Piper turns ONE!

Our baby is growing up!  Piper turned one on April 9th.  Of course we had a joint Birthday party with fav cousin Naomi who was born just one day later.

A Gentry Year in Review, continued... Sundance!

For Spring break we took the family to Sundance, Utah.  Believe it or not we were surrounded by snow!  The kids loved it!  

A Gentry Year in Review, continued... EASTER!

Easter was fun for all!  This was our first Easter in our house with us all together.  (Last year, Mom was in the hospital on bed rest waiting for Piper to be born.)  Also, we had finished our landscaping. The Easter Bunny enjoyed hiding the eggs in the backyard for the kids to find.  

Claire competes her first Solo Dance- A Gentry Year in Review

Claire has competed in many dance competitions with her Dance Teams but this year she tried something new.  She performed a Solo Lyrical Dance number to "Ordinary Miracle," and scored a "High Gold" Award.  (That's really good!)  She also performed in the school talent show and the Dance Academy's Summer Recital.  All who saw it commented how beautiful it was.  She is a gifted dancer.  This is a picture of her stretching out before the Dance Competition.  

A Gentry Year in Review, continued

March 2008 Parker's AYSO Soccer team won first place in the Area and Regionals and went on to take 2nd place in Sectionals.  (There are only 13 sections in the U.S.)  Take a good look at Parker in this picture.  He doesn't look like that anymore!  It was so much fun going to all of Parker's Soccer games.  The team had so many talented players but they were also lead by a great Coach.  It was a great team to be a part of.

And that's our year in Review!  Hope you enjoyed!  We loved it!
