Chickens, Turkeys and Ducks, Oh My

Dallin's sister, Talara, got some baby chickens, turkeys and ducks. Luke was pretty excited to see them and hold them, too. You can only see half of his face in these first two pictures, but you can tell how excited he is.

Luke kept on picking up the ducks and carrying back to the house. But it was very hot inside and Talara had let them out to cool off a little. She keeps on telling him that in the two videos below.

A Park and A Cavern

Natural Bridge Caverns outside of San Antonio, Texas.

We got one picture of Luke looking at the camera and one of Dallin looking at the camera, but none with both looking.

A frisbee game in McAllister Park. Jill's graceful moves.

Dallin's mad moves.

Emma's hoppin' moves.

Luke's short moves (take that how you want to).

Wonderlab

Wonderlab is a fun science museum in Bloomington. We took a few pictures there recently.

This dinosaur tells you your height if you stand still for a few seconds. When you first stand under it, it says something like "Please stand still." Luke loves to stand by the dinosaur, but when it talks he freaks out and runs away.

There are a few different "ball maze" type things that both Luke and Owen love to play with.

Memorial Hall Basketball

Owen's favorite things to do: crawl, sit, and smile.

Luke's favorite things to do: shoot a ball and watch other people shoot a ball (while holding a ball in his arms).

Around The House

Luke and Owen laughing together.

One night Luke seemed to be a little more tired, so we put him to bed first and left Owen downstairs playing. We came down to find Owen "sleep-playing" and determined that he must have been just as tired but has figured out that if he doesn't act like he's tired then he doesn't have to go to bed.

We set up a new bed for Luke recently. He had been sleeping on the mattress on the floor, but when we found a box spring for a good price (free!) we decided to set up the bed.

We also got a new porch! (Dallin hates to call it a porch - he prefers "glorified front step"). It was annoying when they put up the wood frame and then left it for a week for us to have to step over, but it was cool that we were home when they poured the concrete and we got to watch it.
