WAR EAGLE!

Well, it was a very nice Thanksgiving all though I did not take many pictures. Gentry did find an Auburn Pom-Pom that he carried around the house shaking yelling " GO EAGLE".

He's doing much better this year (compared to the medical drama of last winter). We've had to start his breathing treatments again and was complaining of an ear ache yesterday. Even with those ailements though, we've been lucky so far. I really hope we make it through this winter without all the issues that we had last year.

Sick or not, he's still cute (even with a runny nose).

Doc & Gunner

The Smilebox link above will open a new window to show you some pictures of Doc (light brown and black) and Gunner (Brick with white blaze on chest). They have been doing really well together since we first introduced them (yesterday). Just thought you might like to see some pictures.

No pics . . . yet

Today we got another dog. His name is Gunner and he is a Vizsla . I'm hoping to get some pictures tomorrow. He and Doc (our other dog) are getting along well. It took them about an hour, but they will be best buds by the end of the week. Gentry keeps saying that Doc is his dog and Gunner is daddy's dog. Pictures coming soon. . .

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

So, for Halloween this year Gentry is a Pirate (he says Parrot). I doubt that we'll get many pictures tomorrow night since we only have a few stops but I did get some pictures last Saturday at the church Fall Festival. He has really enjoyed dressing up and telling everyone "AAaarrgg, Matey". He's just so cute (even though the outfit was a little big on him).

This will actually be his first time to trick-or-treat since last year he came down with an ear infection the day before Halloween.

I have one little disclaimer. I put the make up on him before I left and then his daddy actually dressed him. . . . so I can't take responsibility for the shoes and cap. :)

His favorite part of his outfit, by far, was his "nocunars".

Farm Day Fun

Today we went to Cullman (about 35 miles from home) for Farm Day. It was actually much larger than I anticiapated and we all had tons of fun!

Gentry really enjoyed all of the antique tractors. It was hard to keep him from trying to ride them!

. . . And of course the animals! He loved petting the bunny, sheep, cow, and piglets. He did, however, get a little skiddish after the piglets started squeeling. He asked me "make the pigs no oink at me" I tried, with no avail to explain how that I had no control over when the piglets "oinked".

I did get him to sit still long enough in the barn for me to get a quick snap shot.

The Pumpkin Painting was one of his favorite activities. He was concentrating so hard on getting his pumpkin just right.

I wasn't sure he was quite big enough to plow with the mule, but the men working were great with Gentry and he did pretty well. . .

. . . for the most part :)

After plowing he decided to tell "Jake" (the donkey) thank you and to ride him for a moment.

We all really had a good time today.

and now, we are all REALLY tired and going to bed early.

Just thought I would post some new pictures. Gentry's temper tantrums have really gotten better over the past couple of weeks. He is still testing us, but the full out tantrums have stopped. Gentry got to go to Papaw & Mom-B's house last Saturday to play and he was so excited!

I have to say. . . that looking at that smile makes me (temporarily) forget about all the fits. I feel so very blessed!

one more . . . .

His favorite thing to watch right now is what he calls "The cow mooobie" (BARNYARD)
We have to limit his intake. He will actually sit and watch the ENTIRE movie multiple times, if you let him. He got to watch a little bit of it tonight and I just thought he looked cute. . . he caught me with the camera though, and had to pose.

Sunday Best

My baby looked like such a little man today I had to share the pictures. He's growing up so quickly. . . he is now going to potty all on his own (he gets quite upset if you try to go with him). I had recently told Josh that I really wanted Gentry going to potty alone and able to get in and out of the car on his own before we tried for another baby. Much to my suprise, Gentry has all ready mastered both of these tasks. . . I now have to find a new goal ;)
