Quotes and Such - Posted by the Mrs.

For Valentine's this year we had heart-shaped eggs in a basket for breakfast.

Everyone got a little something that they "love":

Bobby - Strawberry Nesquik

Me - Tulips and a love letter from Bobby

Duncan - a Hot Wheels car

(according to Bobby it's a "Gangsta' Car" because it's got massive bling'd out wheels. 

I just thought it was a monster truck-car.)

Charlie - Laurie Berkner Band music.

Cookin' up some themed breakfast...

Flowers!

 Nothing like having fragrant beautiful flowers to greet me every morning.

Brotherly Love

I know it looks like Charlie isn't very excited to be featured here but I assure you he LOVES his big brother.

When you have 'retro' furniture, you don't have to feel too bad about the kids jumping on the couches, tipping chairs over, or getting permanent marker on the cushions. :)

Tipping this particular chair over has been a daily ritual for Duncan lately. He pretends it's a train engine, a rocking boat, and even discovered he could play bank by slipping objects through the wooden slats.

We finally got serious about starting a garden.

We have Romaine lettuce, Spinach, Tomatoes, Carrots, Bell Peppers, Strawberries, Green Onions, and Sunflowers...all of which are actually growing! 

I've managed to kill a cactus and two bamboo plants so hopefully with Bobby's help we can enjoy the fruits and vegetables of our labors.

After a day of gathering supplies, reading, and planting, we have a beautiful little garden of hope.

2 weeks later:

Sprouts!

We have loved checking in on these seeds every day and seeing the changes they've made.  

We made a visit to Bobby's work for the first time since we've lived here (about time right?!)

It was nice to put faces with names and have Duncan see where Daddy works all week long.

Duncan loves playing "LIFE".

Actually, he just loves the track, cars and putting the little people inside the cars.

Here's our little Char-Bars or Char-Blars 

(that's how Duncan introduces Charlie when people ask him what his little brother's name is).

This little munchkin has got such a happy and easy going attitude...he must take after his dad.

You've probably heard of people driving away with their coffee still sitting on top of their car,

well, this is the Mormon version...

Notice the sheep-ish smile.

Bobby spent the first part of Sacrament Meeting getting the pages all untangled.

Quote Time:

#1

Bobby was in the bathroom helping Duncan while he went to the bathroom. 

As Duncan began doing his business, he broke out in unexpected song,

"Give said the little stream, 

give, oh, give, give, oh, give, give, oh, give"

(and no, that's not a typo, there actually were more 'give, oh, gives' in Duncan's version).

#2

I think Duncan had the idea of seeds and gardening on his mind because Sunday morning he came into our room after just having woke up and said, "Do eggs come from Jelly Belly's?"

#3

This next one is actually from Bobby.

During our nighttime prayer together, he was saying the prayer and began to drift off. 

The next thing I heard out of his mouth was,

"...and bless that we can get more Clorox Wipes".

Not even a subject we had been discussing recently but somehow it made it's way into Bobby's subconscious mind. :)
