Summer

This summer came and left so quickly. Hard to believe that Samuel will start school in one week. I really enjoyed our summer though. We got to travel quite a bit. In May my sister married in Las Vegas. We packed up our kids and had a great time. Even though we had a good time and it was nice to see my sister get married, I was reminded of the many reasons why I dislike Vegas. There are crazy people there-Mark had to call the police on this guy that wouldnt leave when he was trying to dress our children (granted it was in a parking garage) but still! Crazy people I tell you. Then in June we finally got to take our babies to the happiest place on earth! Disneyland was so much fun. We bought 2 day passes so that we could go to Disneyland one day and California Adventures the next. New memories were made and I really think our kids will be able to remember that adventure. They still talk about it all the time, Samuel even prays that he will dream about "Space Mountain." On that California trip we also had the chance to visit the Beach. We went on a Wednsday and there were hardly any people there. We made sand castles and collected pretty sea shells. Mark and Samuel were the only ones that enjoyed actually getting in the water. It was way too cold for me and Tommy! Tommy spend a majority of the time buried in the sand, it was way too cute! He was the only one that did not get sun burned though! I was really surprised at how well the kids did on the road. I dont know if I could have said this if it wasnt for that precious, precious portable dvd player.

Good Times In March

The month of March just flew by. Our family had so many things going on this month. My favorite from this month was our camping trip. Mark took us to Beaver Creek. We got there pretty late at night but were able to set up camp and cuddle together in the tent. The boys did awesome! They were so excited to be sleeping under the stars and in a camping house. We woke up the next morning to daddy making breakfast-I can tell the hippies camping next to us were jealous of our breakfast:) Later in the day we went to Montezuma Well and it was amazing. We hiked to the bottom of the well and were able to see the old dwellings the Indians use to live in. It was a great learning experience for the kids. Sam asked lots of questions like "where are the Indians now?" "why did they die?" "Where are they buried?" He was so concerned for people that died hundreds of years ago. We had a really good talk about death and the life after. Not sure how much he understood but he seemed content with the answers I gave him. This month we also got to attend Brandon's baptism. We drove up to Payson and spent the day with the fam. I love baptim's because it is impossible to not feel the holy spirit's presence. This month was also my birthday (and Ms. Mokey's too:). I turned 27 this year-now feeling old. 27 sounds old, I know its not but it just sounds it. My final happy surprise this month was finding out we are having another baby! We look forward to welcoming baby McEntire #3.

Samuel is a Composer

Samuel Came to Mark and I and gave us each a "music." He explained that if I read the notes they would let me sing Jingle Bells. How cute is that? We plan to teach him to read and write music soon since he is showing such great interest.

My Boys

This picture was taken for our Family Christmas Pictures one year ago! We attempted to get family pictures for this year but our children were very un-cooperative. Sam hates, hates getting his picture taken. We will try again soon but for now this is what we have!
