April's Afterthoughts...posted by the Mrs.




We had the Cramer's come stay with us overnight and had a hammock party in the backyard.




A sunny daddy-daughter date in the hammock.






Trying to update our 72 hour kits...





Duncan received an Honesty Award at school during an assembly.



My friend and I ventured into a big ( 2 day long! ) task of making a unique tincture.





One of the many pictures of Charlie sleeping.
These boys are good sports during shopping day.




Our other little shopping sport...




A story by Duncan:
"The book of Roady and his friends. 
Won day Roady was racing with his friends. 
The End"





Lucy's first time in the Johnny Jumper.




Making a spontaneous stop at the RV's-for-sale lot.
The boys thought the storage cupboards (bottom right pic.) under the eating benches were beds. :)




Costa Vida snugglers
I love it when these big brothers ask to hold Lucy.



I introduced Parkour to these two via Youtube and they were all over it.

Charlie, with his totally fashionable upside down sunglasses.




After heading to Utah for a long weekend, we made a fun day visit to the zoo with cousins. 



Giraffes, ostriches, lions, seals, elephants, rhinos, orangutans, and bears!




My Littles...




We really wanted to show the boys Temple Square and the Conference Center while we were in Utah.




Taking a short jaunt to the top of the Conference Center Building.





My Favorites...




Love...




It's been 9 years since this family first began inside these doors.




Another Utah adventure: 4 wheeling with the Duncan side.
It was super windy so the wee ones were mostly car bound but there were plenty of snacks to keep everyone happy.




We're still young and fun.




Even the wind can't keep us from having a blast.




My handsome bloke on a mini bike.



We finished off the evening with Chinese food and hanging out with Brooke and Tyler.




 Quotes from the Children
(for the record):

6/16/16

Charlie: I have a king size bed

Duncan: I have a king and queen size bed, that's bigger. 

Charlie: I have a king and queen... and judge size bed

Duncan: I have a king and queen and judge and servants size bed. 

Charlie:...I have a king and queen and judge and servants size bed!

And then they run around pretending to fight.
