Summer fun.....

Summer is in full swing around here, lazy days of sleeping in, swim lessons, swimming, movies, and of course lots of fun activities to keep us busy. I am trying out these jars this summer with all sorts of differents ideas, crafts, trips, food, etc. to give the kiddos busy during the hot afternoons. So far it has been a hit, Kaden loves to cook and has made homemade icecream and cookies so far, we recently learned about polymers, and what happens when they are binded together.....yeah slime! This has definitly been one of the favorites so far!

This is now.....

This is what it looks like when the twins turn 3...so much fun! Happy Birthday Kyson & Kelson We nub you more!

Kyson & Kelson.....then

What a joy these two have been, miracles still happen and our beautiful babies are proof that there is a God who is alive and still performing miracles today! Wow how far our boys have come...so thankful for these past three years, we have had to learn that God is good, no matter what happens God is still good!

Three years ago our lives looked a little bit different, there were 5 Dunlap's, and we thought that our life was busy and crazy at that time.  We had two fantastic boys, and one beautiful little princess girl, our family was complete, or so we thought...then the news came that I was pregnant, after a late night pregnancy test we found out we were indeed pregnant, I was still nursing Kendall, and on birth control, so I stopped taking birth control, and we went to see the Dr.  The Dr asked the normal questions and did the ultrasound, and everything checked out just fine.  Kevin in his odd since of humor joked with the Dr. that "you are sure there is only one right, he he"  So the Dr said well I didn't check for more than one, Kevin said "Oh I was just joking" Dr pulled out ultrasound equipment again, and SURPRISE there were 2!!!  Kevin came sown with a cold sweat and stated over and over that he was just joking as if that would suddenly make the twins back to 1~We both laughed cried, and stopped breathing intermittently due to shock!

If we only had a snapshot of the craziness that would come......we probably would have asked to be committed right then and there!

 Almost 1 month before the twins arrival....

 Family trip to Vegas..little did we know we would be spending a lot of time here very soon!

This was the view I had for many months, big as a house!

Happy Anniversary My love!

Wow 14 years, and so in love with the greatest (& hottest) man in the world!  I love you More!

14 years so excited!

14 years ago I married the love of my life.  14 years ago life looked a lot different..an army life, no kids, far away from family, trusting in the love of Jesus...today we have 5 fantastic kids, are planting a church that has the greatest people ever, still far away from family, but learning to understand family is not only by blood, and still so in love with Jesus.  What a journey it has been, not always easy, but so worth every minute of it.  We are at a point in our life where we are so thankful for the life God has given us, and never take a second together for granted.  We know so much about each other yet continue to find new things about each other, we are loving raising our basketball team, and cherish the times with our kids as we know it will not last forever.  We enjoy our hot dates, and laugh and cuddle just as much as when we were first married, married life is pretty much the best thing ever, so in love and so thankful to God for giving us this marriage! 

On a side note whoever came up with wedding gift ideas had to be a single unhappy individual..who really gives ivory as gift?  Oh well no ivory this year, I nixed the ivory soap idea right away!

My Husband...he amazes me sometimes!

When I saw this image on the news the other night, I thought how crazy and totally out there that person must have been to attempt something so unheard of.  Than the more I thought about it I could almost see my wonderful husband in that little yellow house,  the window on the right to be exact.  He would be that guy, when all the world is saying that is impossible he would say with God its not, look I will show you!  Kevin has never done anything small, easy, cautious, or comfortable - He has 5 children!   God told him to start a church for those who don't like church, so He did!  He has always had a God sized vision in his head and heart that is unheard of and crazy to those around him, He knows God is going to big things to Fort Mohave, Az  So that guy in the floating house yeah that may be Kevin someday! I am so excited to be on this journey with my awesome husband, I can honestly say that life is never dull with him around!  When I first got married, I couldn't imagine loving my husband more than I did right then.  But when you do life with someone, you either go through hard times clinging to each other or you go at it separately.  I am so thankful to have a husband who I can cling to.  I love him more than I did the day we got married.  I know that the years ahead of us hold some difficult times and some amazing times.  There is no one I would rather go through life with than that crazy Kevin Dunlap

They steal my heart!

One look at these adorable little guys you can easily see why I am crazy in love with these two cutie pies! Trouble-Yes, but boy are they fun!

The hair is out of control but what could fit their personality better, some day these cute little curls will have to be cut, but no time soon...they are wild and crazy just like the to little bodies they are attached too!!

Trip to Oatman, AZ

We took Papa & Memaw to the historically famous Oatman, AZ.  We heard about the donkeys that roam the old west town, and thought it would be cute to see and fun to walk through. Boy were we wrong, while yes it was a cute little old west town, everyone failed to mention that the donkeys are psychotic, ravenous creatures, that attack and bite, if you do not feed them!!! OK so maybe they are not that bad, but they do get very aggressive, and forceful, and one did bite Kevin in the butt.  He was prepared to make a rug out of that particular donkey, but decided that may be traumatic for the tourists around.  Kendall is forever scarred for life, she spent the entire time on the shoulders of daddy or papa, and told us repeatedly that donkeys bite!!  All in all it was a fun trip and we did have a great time despite a few bites, but learned to bring more carrots!
