Back to School {2014}

Yesterday was the first day of school and I’ve already belabored the fact I’m sick about it. Here’s my boys before their 1st day as a Junior and a 5th grader.

Saying Goodbye to Summertime…

As usual the summer blew by in a heartbeat and here I am, just sad that it’s over. I’m not super excited about the kids going back to school and starting their millions of extracurricular activities. All this means that quiet evenings at home are no longer. I have really enjoyed those this summer…a lot!

However, life must go on and school starts Monday, so with that I thought I’d share some pics from a few activities that I never got around to posting.

So happy to have a cousin reunion, even it was just a quick visit. Fun times getting to see these silly cutie pies and getting to meet the newest member of their family.

Sharing Food and Fun with Friends

"Food is our common ground, a universal experience."  ~James Beard

Sunday, we had a great afternoon and evening visiting with our friends that came over. We’ve been talking with them about Rob’s recipe for homemade pasta called Covatelli or Covatels. Making covatels is not a meal that an individual should make. For it’s way more fun to gather around and take turns cranking the covatelli maker, watching the noodles fall from the machine.

Kent-ography

Kent-ography is a weekly tribute to my Dad, who lost his battle with ALS in December 2013. I wanted to feature some of his awesome photography, or as I like to call it “pics my Dad took.”

I’m not exactly sure where this was taken. I would guess somewhere in Colorado, but I could be wrong. Regardless, its such a beautiful shot. I love seeing the world through my Dad’s eyes in his photography. So thankful to have these…

Kent-ography::Week 20

Kent-ography

Kent-ography is a weekly tribute to my Dad, who lost his battle with ALS in December 2013. I wanted to feature some of his awesome photography, or as I like to call it “pics my Dad took.”

I actually took this picture with my Dad’s camera. I really miss all of Dad’s impromptu, “I’m an hour outside of Auburn” phone calls.
