Entrekin family

Ian has a new obsession with Star Wars. I have to say I'm enjoying it. There's just something about your son running around the house with a batting helmet on his face, breathing like Darth Vader. Ian has also become really close with the missionaries in our ward, and one of them took this video the other day. They were teaching Ian how to fight with his new light saber (compliments of grandma) and I just love how it turned out since it's being filmed by the person he's attacking, Elder Larrabee. Thank you Elder, for training my son in the ways of the Force!



Here's a few additional pictures of my Jedi. He's making his Sith face in a few of them. He's such an actor!


And for good old times, here's a picture Elder Larrabee took of Ian as Harry Potter, and having an stand-off with our friend, Brian.

I know I'm way behind. Life has a way of doing that to me. Christmas came and went, as well as my birthday. I got a new camera (hooray!) for my birthday and have been taking lots of random pictures of my kids, trying to figure out how it works. I thought in an effort to catch up, I could at least post a bunch of their random pictures! Oh, and a few pictures from when my parents and sister, Hillary were here in December. I LOVED having them here and wished they lived closer. The older I get, the more I want to be close to my family and it hurts every day that I'm not and there's not really anything I can do about it. Oh, that I were a millionaire... Oh well. As I'm getting the wonderful opportunity to spend all day with kids this holiday, I find myself feeling incredibly blessed with what I DO have.

Good times in giant cardboard boxes

My Little Jedi in training

Ollie really likes the new camera...he keeps trying to grab it!

We spent this Thanksgiving with Sean's family at a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia. We had a great time, except for the trip up and back! I don't know that I will ever drive that far with small children again. Ian had a stomach bug on the way up, so he and his throw up bucket were inseparable....it was not fun. And Oliver is not used to sitting still for 10 or more hours, so he screamed...a lot. But once we got there and I regained my sanity, it was fabulous. The cabin was gorgeous. I was hoping it would snow so Ian could see snow for the first time, but there was no snow. It's probably for the best since the incline to the cabin was extremely steep and I would have died from anxiety thinking we were either going to get stuck, or slide off the mountain on ice. I've attached way too many pictures as usual. The boys had so much fun playing in the leaves on Thanksgiving day, and we also got to take a train ride one day. Santa was even there! Hope you like the pictures.

The view from our porch was amazing!

Aunt Lesley and Oliver always seem to end up taking a nap together on holidays.

Ian ran around being Harry Potter for at least an hour. I LOVE this picture.

He was saying hooray because Harry Potter won. I don't know what he won...but he won.

My adorable Ollie. If only we could get that bink out of his mouth!

Thank you to our good friend Brian Myrick for taking these wonderful pictures of our family! We took lots of Oliver, since he's just turned one. I have pictures from his birthday that I'll eventually get around to posting.

This one makes me want to cry. It's me and my first baby.

Since Oliver was very small he's made this face where he is totally judging you. He makes it a lot! Brian caught it on camera when Oliver was totally judging another kid at the pumpkin patch who was screaming and being loud. Apparently Oliver felt that was inappropriate.

We call this Ian's headshot. We should have gotten this kid into showbiz. He's all drama.
