Katieaceae: Summer at a Close

These pictures are out of order, but that is ok because memories do not relay in perfect replay but in jumbles of pictures and commentaries. So that is how i display.

First set are taken in Idaho Falls. I went up there to Amber's a couple weeks before school started in August. The temperature was at a comfortable tolerance of heat, a storm blew past midway leaving cool winds. Your nose is continually sensing new but known smells from the nearby farms and dairies. But its the simple things that I love about Idaho.

I had a chance to attend one of Emma's soccer practices. So the next few pictures were taken while watching the kids kick the ball on the green grass.

Where I go Amber goes, where Amber goes, Gracey goes

She has one of the cutest smiles for a chunk

Oh and that tongue, it will kill the very heart of the meanest person alive.

She loves to stick anything available into her mouth, the latest flame: her toes!

But she is a mommas girl, she loves her mom dearly

Ok, next set of pictures belong to Monterey memory. There is nothing wrong with enjoying some sunshine. Though i love humboldt county's for and rain, the plants are not the only ones who need and wish the sunbeams there way.

Steinbeck: very popular there, we are buds.

Ok, here is the random placement i was talking about earlier. The above picture did not take place in Monterey, for one: Emmas hair was not that short during that trip. We are taking Emma to her 1st grade orientation at her school. She is wearing a new school outfit and her hair is the shortest it has ever been, minus when she was a baby.

Back to Emma's soccer practice, Amber and I decided to turn attention from Emma to ourselves. It took a few tries before we got al three of us in the picture... we are pretty much pro by now.
