Friday iPhoto Dump....on Sunday!

Well I was not feeling well on Friday and it's been a busy week so I'm finally getting around to doing this on Sunday. Here is our week.....

1. We spent Saturday morning at the farmer's market.

2. We celebrated Mackenna turning one!

4. We spent Sunday splitting wood.

5. Jack sporting a mohawk :)



6. & 7. We entertained in our new room and our "new" dining room.

Beach Day

On vacation we got to enjoy some time at our favorite beach. Scarborough Beach! Pictures from that day......

 

Upta Camp

The first weekend of our vacation, we spent it up at camp with family. We have done that for the last few years, getting a chance to hit up the New Balance tent sale and the Skowhegan Fair!

 Jenny, Cam & Grammy

 Katelyn & Jack

Emma :)

Adam & Peter had a blast with our gator!

 

 Watching the tractor pull at the fair.

 The best family pic we could get, haha!

Feeding the animals...

Truck pull time!

 

 After the fair we headed back to camp and with the kids in bed, enjoyed time around the campfire!

Tomato Pasta Stoup

I got a ton of old Rachel Ray magazines from my Mom the other day, and I spent Sunday evening going through them all and pulling out recipes that I would want to try. When I saw this one, I knew it would be perfect for the daycare kids. Soups are really messy for the young ones so when I make Chicken Soup, I always add more rice so that it absorbs more of the liquid making it easier for the kids. Well this one was perfect for them!

 

You only need a few ingredients!

Mince up 1 cup each of celery, carrot and onion. In a large pot cook veggies in 2 tbsp of EVOO until tender.

Add 4 cups of vegetable broth and 1 15 oz. can of tomato puree; bring to boil. Add 2 cups of ditalini and cook to al dente; season with salt and pepper.

Serve sprinkled with grated parmesan cheese!
