Red Butte Garden

This is what Charlie wore to church last Sunday. It was a battle to even get to this point.

It went great with Paul's musical Christmas tie, a battle he lost with Danny, who you can see has been crying.

Just woke up.

Still sleepy.

Mohawk for Charlie.

And Danny.

He howls like a werewolf (of London. We've been listening to Halloween songs as usual.)

"This is how I smile."

Selfie for Paul.

Pre-Mother's Day haul. Roses from Paul, columbines from our yard, card from Alice, and handprint flowers from the boys. Grace saved her gift for the actual day.

Cutie eating breakfast outside on a nice morning.

New tennis shoes...with pink!

Reading "My Little Pony".

Matchy-matchy. 

Girls all ready for church. 

Columbines. 

Filling out a chart together for FHE. 

We sidewalk chalked our patio half-wall. It looks cool. 

 Paul ordered a bunch of new podcasting equipment this week for work.

 At Petco killing time while Grace and I bought shoes.

 500-piece jigsaw puzzle for date night.

Red Butte Garden. 

There were 10 ducklings! 

For Heather Kramer. 

Swing at Red Butte Garden. 

In the children's garden. 

Paul and Danny in the big birdhouse. 

Fairy garden. 

After haircuts. 

NOW Charlie's willing to get in the photo. 

The most dramatic cut. 

My little butlers this morning for Mother's Day! They rubbed lotion all over my feet!:)

Full Week of Fun!

 Grace's costume for their family play about Moses last Sunday.

 Charlie was a Hebrew slave:)

 Me and my buddy:)

The fountain at the police station.

 It's pretty cool. (Charlie's at the top.)

 The little pioneer house by the library.

 Playground at Alice's school.

 Outdoor lunch with Braden.

 Selfie for Paul.

 Danny made this out of magbuilders. He came up to me and said, "Welcome... to... the skateboard!"

 Charlie had me trace him in chalk, then he decorated it.

 Little boys painting.

 So studious!

 Lounging.

 Grace helped bathe the boys and got soaked!

 Silly kid.

 Back in time, making a giant hoho Swiss roll.

 Not pretty, but really yummy!

 Danny thinks this is so hilarious:)

 The painting I did at enrichment. I am not artistic so I was pretty proud of myself.

 Joel normal, smiley, old, and female.

 Giant robot mantis at the zoo.

 On the zoo train.

 This was the scariest: a huge tarantula filling up an entire lawn, and covered in hair, and moving!!

 Carousel at the zoo.

 Charlie LOVES armadillos!

 Giant scorpion. So creepy!

 The lynx was right up next to the glass, eating raw flesh.

 A few of the bugs were just to play on and didn't move.

 This spider moves up and down the web.

 Alice wanted me to caption this: "the traditional sleepwear in her world".

Girl party!
