Switching rooms and fun with the Burrs

Sunday drive with these little cuties.

Ogden Bay Waterfowl Management Area.

Charlie and I read scriptures together every morning for 10 minutes, switching off every other verse.

This is Alice secretly weeding EVERY row, and not just her assigned row!

Wooded area behind Rocket Park.

Underwear brothers!

Chilling on the swing with my little buddy.

Breakfast time with Danny.

Strawberry chicken salad for our weekly salad day.

Decorating our new mattress box.

"Rumble tumble" time with Daddy.

Little bruiser.

Sasquatch sighting?

Brothers breakfast on the patio.

We got French macarons for our treat of the week. The kids have been begging to try them since we always see them on our cooking videos on youtube. Very expensive, and nobody loved them. But fun to try!

First blow-up pools of the season!

Made better by cousins coming! Leslie, Danny, Charlie, Emily, Abby, Alice, Grace, Toby.

Greg helped Paul diagnose a few of our nonworking bikes.

So fun to sit and visit with Haley all afternoon!

The kindergarten graduates: Leslie and Danny.

We like those guys!

Grace and her fan club.

The kids switched bedrooms. Now the boys get the nicer, bigger room with 2 windows, gold polka dots, and wainscoting.

The girls have the smaller room now, with one window, no bed frames yet, and some boogers on the wall from the previous inhabitants...

Chocolate milk mustache.

Charlie built a pillow fort that he would sink behind until Danny rescued him.

This is what Charlie calls "beaning up" - putting your knees up into your shirt. In this case, he was able to fit his whole body in!

Paul and Charlie took a load to the dump today. Since kids aren't allowed outside of the car, Charlie hung out the window. (Yes, the car was parked.)

So many seagulls at the dump.

But not a bad view.

Sleepy Toby.

Sunset the other night.

Wrestling fun.

Men and boys playing football. Caleb and especially Danny were really into it, so their dads played with them over and over!

A week full of nature

Sisters getting along!

Robot Danny.

Alice sewed some clothes for Charlie's monkey.

Nice Sunday drive out to the Farmington bird refuge.

Heronry.

Sunday evening on the patio.

Paul and Alice trying to fix one of our many nonworking bikes.

This is a normal thing for Alice to wear on a random weekday for online school.

This is more Grace's style.

And Charlie is always in basketball shorts.

Toby wrapped in Paul's jacket watching us do Just Dance on the patio.

Why are all the things that Charlie loves things we have to tell him to stop doing?

Lagoon Trail - first success with the baby backpack!

I finished Toby's baby book! He likes looking at it.

Little biker Danny, still with training wheels.

We love hanging out on the patio swing when the weather's nice.

Sarah stopped by for a couple hours on her way to Rexburg. Fun to visit for a little bit!

Old picture from a reunion in 1993. I'm on the far left.

Toby's happy place: on the patio playing with his cousin flashcards.

I French braided Grace's hair one night.

Toby watching me and Danny go through clothes.

Ah, Charles. It was starting to rain.

Our favorite place to be!

Sandhill cranes look like dinosaurs.

My first try at a fishtail braid, on Alice.
