SwEEt LiTTle GEnTrY GiRl!

So I have spent Gentry's entire naptime today researching Photoshop...reading tidbits and tips on how to transform me into a photo guru! Although it all starts with a decent shot, Photoshop can TOTALLY make an image! If only I could just wake up tomorrow morning KNOWING it all and not have to spend HOURS upon HOURS learning it!! Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?!!

Needless to say, my eyes are bleary and tired from staring at the screen forever! BUT...I could not leave you without a photo on this post! Here is one from our photo shoot in the flowers last night! This was our third trip to this little oasis...but not the last one! I am sure that Chris is sick and tired of me dragging him out, but hey, these wild flowers only bloom for just a tiny little window of time..by golly we are taking advantage of it!! (He has to go in order to make Gentry smile and stick her in the flowers so I can be ready to roll with the camera!!)

I did some editing on this one...I tried to make her eyes sparkle a little more and some other adjustments...But I still have a lot to learn! I am learning that less is more...it is subtle changes that can make a huge difference! Unless you are intentionally going for vintage or a pop of color! So, maybe some of the images I have been sharing are a little "over-Photoshopped?" It is all a matter of opinion I guess!

Anyway...here is something to hold you over until my next post! There are MANY more darling images of our flower patch kids that I am dying to share...but only after a little Photoshop!

Check back tomorrow for my Six on Saturday!

Huntler is our little man...our first born. I honestly can't believe it, but he turned four in September! I think I must have gotten caught up in a time warp because since we had him time has just FLOWN! He is very serious by nature...probably the most intense child I have ever met. We have way more pictures of him deep in thought than smiling from ear to ear! He has always been an easy little guy...he is very laid back and just goes with the flow. He is so sweet and caring and he loves that little sis of his more than words can express! Don't let all of this fool ya though...he can be quite ornery and the things that he comes up with these days literally crack us up!

Ahhh...Gentry girl. If ever two kids were so different! She is so sassy and spunky and full of it that there is never time for a dull moment! Although she is not a hard child by any stretch of the imagination, she DEFINITELY has opinions and isn't quite as "go with the flow" as her brother! She started talking early and there is never a quiet moment when Gentry is awake! She seems to have grown up so fast...I am sure that a lot of that has to do with the fact that she has a big brother to keep up with, but she is doing things so much faster than he did! And although she turned two in July, she is absolutely convinced she is already three!! And the way she carries on most of the time, one would definitely think she is much older than two!

As we were driving by a bunch of trees Huntler says, "I don't wiv in a jungle Daddy. I wiv in a house Daddy. I have a woof."

While driving in the car one day (yes, we do lots of driving!) Gentry says, "There ya go" to Huntler. He responds with, "I not a goat. I Huntler."

Oh sassy Miss Gentry...she is all the time saying, "I want pink wemonade!"

Whenever we say, "I love you" to one of the kids, they respond with, "Love you more." Too sweet!!

We were giving the kids baths and Huntler was upset. He tells Chris, "I had a weally bad day." Then he proceeds to say, "You're hurting my feelings Daddy." Needless to say, we were laughing out loud!

While talking about the kids' friends, Huntler says, "I have big, small and medium friends." Never quite thought of it that way before! Leave it to a 3 1/2 year old!!

While the kids were playing Little People this morning and Huntler was loading up the bus, I mentioned to him again about starting school soon. I am trying to prepare him for it. He is fine, I am not!

He says, "Mama be sad about me go school." He couldn't be more right!!

8/7/08

"School is for big kids Gentry, not for wittle sisters!"

"The farmer in the town,

The farmer in the town,

Hi-ho the radio

The farmer in the town!"

Chris was giving the kids baths and the following conversation came about:

Chris: "Come here little boy, let me wash you."

Huntler: "I not a little boy, I have a big head like you dad!"

Chris: "Do we have big heads because we're smart?"

Huntler: "Yeah, Mommy and Gentry aren't smart. They have little heads."

On a walk Huntler was talking about staying on the sidewalk. We never want to get in the street because a car could run over us and make us all flat. (I guess that is one way of looking at it!!)
