What the sprinkler is really meant for - a drinking fountain.


This little guy and a few of his friends moved into the tree outside our living room window.
Unfortunately this little guy's been hanging around too.
It's a skunk if it's too dark to see.

Twins turn 5!

Even though I am still in denial, Nathaniel & Kate turned 5 yesterday.




I made Nathaniel a pirate ship cake.









Kaitlyn wanted a castle cake.







Nathaniel loved his present from grandpa & grandma.








Kaitlyn did too.




Kelly hard at work...

Chow time!

NO NAME

We went a couple miles down the road to No Name yesterday to check out the trail by the river. It's mainly used by cyclists because it is paved.
Saw some people kayaking,
And many trees that beavers had chewed on.

It is a nice trail through the canyon but I think we prefer trails more off the beaten path.

Zoom Happy




The children made these footprints all over, including in the house, by crushing chalk and dumping water on it and then walking through it.


Went to Grizzly Creek again & brought the neighbor, Izzy, with us. Here's some pictures:








Joshua showing how strong he is & Izzy posing to show how cute she is...

Caleb was particularly difficult during this excursion & tried to walk off on his own a couple of times. This was his temporary time-out spot.

The snow is really melting and so the creek was really moving in some places, much faster than the last time we went.




Joshua loves the zoom function on the camera. Here are the videos and pictures he took.
