Halloween 2011

For Halloween this year, Jentry asked if she could be a dog....a black dog to be exact...so when I set out to find her a costume all I could find were brown dogs.  I asked her if she would be a brown dog instead of a black one and she happily said yes.  She made a cute brown dog.  She would even make the tail wag :)  She did such a good job trick or treating.  She had a hard time getting trick or treat out at each house, but she did say Happy Halloween and Thank you to each home owner.  We were so proud of her, she lasted over an hour walking around our neighborhood.

Mowing the Lawn

We have a tradeoff that happens here at our house.  Jack makes dinner and I mow the lawn.  Apparently I'm already teaching Jentry to follow in my foot steps!  She loves to come out and "mow" while I'm mowing. I love the 4th picture where you can just see my feet in the distance and she's following behind me.  She's such a good little mower :)

Riding the Ferris Wheel

On the "boardwalk" in Daytona Beach, Jentry spotted a ferris wheel.  So on Thursday night we took her on a ride on the ferris wheel.  She really enjoyed the ride.  It was a cool way to see the city and sights of Daytona Beach.

Florida 2011

In October, Jack, Jentry, Nana, and I traveled to Florida.  We drove to Daytona Beach for a week of fun in the sun.  Well...I would like to say it was sunny...but as you can see from our pictures we didn't see too much sun...but we still had a great time and Jentry loved the ocean...She was so fun to watch in the waves :)

Our Little Ballerina

This fall we started Jentry in ballet.  She enjoyed being in Miss Kelley's class at Wishes Dance Studio.  We had planned to do the 2nd fall session but due to our vacation and an illness we have to wait for the winter sessions to start before Jentry can go back to ballet.

Uncle Willie's Farm

 Over Labor Day weekend, Jentry, Noah, and Millie, were able to go to my Uncle Willie's house to feed a calf and collect some eggs. The kids had a blast and were so cute.

Riding on Grandma's Walker

Whenever Jentry can, she loves to climb up on "Mommy's Grandma Kauffman's" walker.  Of course my Grandma loves to push Jentry around.  Notice the horn on Grandma's walker??  Jentry loves to honk that horn too :) 

The State Fair 2011

In August we made our annual trek to the state fair.  This year it was so fun to let Jentry enjoy a few rides.  She loved the carousel, cars, spinning dragons, and a small "roller coaster" 







Big Girl Bed

In July, Jack and I decided it was time to move Jentry out of her toddler bed and into a big girl bed.  So Jack went to the mattress store and picked out a nice full size bed for Jentry.  We bought sheets and a comforter and here she is on the first night in her big girl bed.  She loves it!

Telling her Daddy how much she loves her new bed!

Thank you Ms. Liz

After my surgery today Jentrys teacher Ms. Liz offered to watch Jentry for a few hours...here is a picture from their trip to the ballpark to watch 2 of Ms. Liz's sons play baseball. Jentry came home with a smile on her face :)  Thank you Ms. Liz

Sorry for the Hiatus

Blog readers...you may have stopped checking for updates...don't!  I have tons of posts coming...obviously dating back to July!!  So sorry for the delay...bring on the pictures!

She LOVES her Crocs

Jentry is a silly toddler...she is hard headed and has learned how to get her way.  Her and I went shopping a few months ago to get her a 2nd pair of shoes for school.  She needed a pair to wear in case she had an accident while potty training and peed on her tennis shoes.  Well...she picked out a pair of baby pink Crocs.  Let me tell you these shoes are not my favorite, but she liked them so we got them.  She likes them so much that she has started peeing on her shoes on purpose so that she can wear her Crocs!  ARGH.  In fact, she likes her Crocs so much she sleeps in them.  And when Jack tries to take them off after she is sleeping she curls her toes so he can't get them off.  Enjoy our silly sleeper in shoes.

Playing at the Children's Museum

Posted by Picasa
Jack and I enjoyed taking Jentry to the Children's Museum for her 1st visit this past week.  She loved seeing Dora and Diego and playing with all the other exhibits.  She especially enjoyed driving the backhoe! I have a feeling she is about a year away from REALLY enjoying everything our awesome museum has to offer, but we still had a really great time :)

Jentry's 1st trip to the Zoo

Click on the picture above for larger images
Last week before my surgery Jack and I had some time to do a few fun things with Jentry.  So on Tuesday we took her to the Zoo.  If you ask her what her favorite things at the zoo were she would tell you the tiger and monkeys.  But while we were there she really enjoyed all of the animals!  We had a fabulous day and Jack and I look forward to our next visit to the zoo with Jentry!

Oh yes, she IS a princess!

I absolutely love this little princess! She has her crown on, multiple bracelets, and a necklace! Also, that adorable smile is priceless and so precious.

This is what happens when...

This is what happens when you put your kid to bed and they get mad at you...apparently she wanted to go somewhere in her rain boots but it looks like she got too tired in the process of getting them on! Love her :)

Easter Family Pics

We took a few pictures on Easter Sunday. I love the ones with Jentry and her cousins Noah and Millie...even if they didn't sit still :)
