During the economic shutdown in Arizona, we got a little creative to keep ourselves entertained. Grandma suggested that we try jump-roping in the backyard.
Benjamin: “When the apocalypse happens, will there still be In ‘n Out?”

Jake
Easter Egg Hunt
Robin took another stab at growing a garden.
We hope it will stay alive considering we have no opportunity to leave town, so we can be around to take care of it all summer long.
We watched a lot of movies and old TV shows in the evenings
Dad, seeking confirmation: “So you broke it?”
Matthew: “Dad, we all make mistakes.”
Hummingbird drinking from the sprinkler
We measured the progress of the Sunflower patch with pics of Lois.
Lois on expense to repair house/lawn: “Wow, you would have to sell a lot of lemonade.”
Dad jokingly: “Neither Mom nor I have our appendix, so none of you should have yours.” Lois “But I don’t have a scar.”
Lois and a new lost tooth.
Matthew
Playing Bop-it.
Emma won!
Matthew on Lehi’s dream: “Lehi was in darkness. An angel led him to the rod, which led him to the tree with magical pears.”
About Coronavirus:
Jake: “By the time we go back to school I’ll be graduated.”
Matthew: “...and married...with 10 babies...and a granddaughter.”
Lois on the security for a large gold nugget in “Apple Dumpling Gang”: “All that for a chicken nugget?!”
Dad: “There’s a reason I don’t have longer hair. It doesn’t obey if it’s long and it bugs me”
Matthew: “Like ‘Get me some milk’ ‘No way!’”
Happy Birthday Jake...
Welcome to the world of Adult!
Matthew drew Jake some pictures as a gift for this special day.
Jake, "Oh, is this me in an orange jumpsuit?"
Matthew, "Nope. That's you in prison!"
We really pray Matthew doesn't have the gift of prophecy on that one.
Dad: “It says to wear our Sunday best.”
Lois: “But I don’t have a vest.”
