Kent's 40 year Legacy January 2020

Winter Entertainment

The boys needed some winter entertainment 

and they found it in jumping off the chair.

I decided to see if my camera could catch some good photos in motion.

The Loss of a Friend

I was sad to hear that my dear friend and former roommate 

Nikki Gwin lost her battle with cancer. 

She was a fun sweet friend whose presence will be dearly missed!

Happy 40th Birthday Kent

Kent said his birthday was perfect. He finally got rid of all the birthday attention and he was able to enjoy his birthday just the way he wanted to...

nice and quiet and with a few thousand of his favorite fans at the gymnastics meet!

Happy Birthday Becca

I thought my friend deserved a tribute since this was her 40th year birthday celebration!

Funny Marshalisms

This kid says and does the funniest things! 

I'm so glad that they document some of his preschool experiences.

Arizona 40th Birthday Trip

I got these cool shots from the plane window.

It was really fun to fly over these areas!

We enjoyed a hike in Sedona.

It was more of a walkabout, but it was still fun.

When I found heart shaped cactus and mentioned Tia 

Becca told me it needed to be a rock so she found us some heart shaped rocks.

We certainly didn't skimp on delicious food!

More of our fun in the sun in Sedona, Arizona!

Becca gave me a juicy orange on the way to the airport. 

When it left a puddle on the floor I had to take a picture. lol 

We enjoyed delicious food and I had to get a photo when I saw that 

Kent's bosses had a bridge named after them.

Lot's of cool cactus and desert foliage to see!

There was some amazing scenery and beautiful blue skies!

It was hard to leave the warm weather and beautiful sunsets!

Life in January

I thought it was funny that Braxton wrote out his goal to get 

good grades as and equation that equals his reward.

Beauty in January

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
― John Steinbeck

“Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.
Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance.
Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence.
Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.”
― Yoko Ono

“My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.”
― George R.R. Martin

“Because the birdsong might be pretty,
But it's not for you they sing,
And if you think my winter is too cold,
You don't deserve my spring.”
― Erin Hanson
