*Tyler, Korey and the kids all make a dinner together as a family! Thank you to BrianBadgerMay for helping me write this! Enjoy! Love • Bree 🧡

In a lovely, warm spring evening before sunset, Korey and the kids except for Rory are picking some vegetables from their home garden that they've been growing the past year.

"Wow! Look at these bell peppers!" Sparrow says with a grin.

"Wow! Wook at peppers!" Hazel copies.

"And tomatoes! And peas! And cucumbers!"
Korey points out, and the kids put their veggies in their baskets.

"Yummy! I bet we can make something good with these! Like stir-fry!" Archer suggests.

"Yeah, we can make stir-fry if you like!" Korey agrees.

Meanwhile inside, Rory is reading her favorite books with Tyler. Such as Corduroy, We're Going On A Bear Hunt and Peter Rabbit. She loved anything with animals.

"Grrr!" Rory says and points at the bears, hugging her stuffed tiger.

"That's right! Bears growl!" Tyler says proudly.

Rory smiles up at Tyler and lays her head on Tyler's chest, causing Tyler to smile.

Crouton then walks over to Tyler and jumps on the couch with Tyler and Rory.

"Cro!" Rory says to Crouton and Tyler.

"Yes, that is Crouton! Good girl!" Tyler says proudly to Rory.

Rory claps for herself, then reaches out to pet Crouton. Crouton barks and wags his tail, sitting down.

"You know so many animals, don't you! Clever girl." Tyler mentions with a smile.

"Ya!" Rory agrees, understanding his words.
Soon, everyone who was outside is now in, talking about the vegetables they picked.

"Mama! We got veggies! Tomatoes." Hazel tells Tyler, holding a tomato.

"Wow! That's so cool, Hazel! Do you know tomatoes are a fruit, but we call them vegetables?" Tyler asks her.

"Oooh!" Hazel says, surprised by the fact.
"I always forget that!" Archer says with a grin.

"It's because they have seeds!" Sparrow adds.

"And 'umbers!" Hazel holds out a cucumber.

"Yes, we have home-grown cucumbers!" Korey says.

"Yum be ba bas." Rory tries to say.

"Vegetables are yummy, yes!" Archer giggles, understanding exactly what she means.

"What are we making with them?" Tyler questions.

"Stir-fry!" Sparrow cheers.

"Oh, that sounds nice! I think we have some chicken or tofu that could be the protein." Tyler smiles.

Sparrow makes a face, "I don't like the taste of tofu."

"It tastes like whatever it gets cooked with! We could put soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce with seasoning to make it taste like chicken!" Tyler suggests.

"I guess I just don't like it cooked the normal way, but that sounds good." Sparrow agrees, open-minded about it.

"Tofu is really good!" Korey says with a grin.

"Let's make a salad too!" Archer says as he dances around.

"We can make a salad too! That sounds good!" Tyler says with a grin.

Rory happily claps her hands and smiles at Hazel, Archer and Sparrow.

Rory claps for herself, then reaches out to pet Crouton. Crouton barks and wags his tail, sitting down.

"You know so many animals, don't you! Clever girl." Tyler mentions with a smile.

"Ya!" Rory agrees, understanding his words.

Rory happily claps her hands and smiles at Hazel, Archer and Sparrow.

Archer smiles back at his baby sister, going over to sit with her as Tyler gets up.

"I'Il keep her happy while you can cook dinner, it's fine." Archer volunteers.

"Really? Thank you, Archer. You can help cook whenever you want if you want to." Tyler accepts the offer.

"Salad with stir-fry.. Even though it already has vegetables in it. Ok!" Sparrow laughs, finding it funny.

Hazel, Korey, Tyler and Sparrow head into the kitchen and start washing vegetables and talking about the ingredients they'll need.

Archer was busy giving Rory music lessons, very simplified.

"Shake the maraca to this beat." Archer says as he he demonstrates to Rory.

"Ma!" Rory copies pretty well.

"Yes! Like that." Archer says and sings along with the rhythm.

Tyler smiles at Archer and Rory, seeing how adorable their bond is. Tyler then looks at Sparrow holding Hazel in his arms and Hazel is hugging Sparrow tightly.

Tyler was scared when he was pregnant with Hazel, afraid the boys wouldn't be close to their sister, now sisters, but he was completely wrong.

And he was glad he was wrong. All of the kids are so lovingly close with each other.

Hazel runs over to Rory and Archer for a minute or two, giving Rory a pat on the forehead, to which Rory giggled and pushed her hand away.

Rory suddenly looked into her reflection and was amazed by it. She pointed at it, "bay! Me!"

"That is a baby! And it is you!" Archer says.

"I see dis baby!" Hazel says as she notices her own reflection.

"Yes!" Sparrow says and laughs as he notices
Hazel.

Hazel then goes back to the kitchen and chops some vegetables with a child-safe knife.

"Great job, Hazzey!" Korey says proudly.

"Look at you! But girl!" Tyler says as he takes pictures of Hazel.

"I do it!" Hazel says with excitement.

"You sure are!" Korey says with a smile. 

Archer dances around as he holds Rory, causing her to giggle and babbles happily.

Rory listens too as her brother holding her sings her favorite song at the moment, 'Back Off Boogaloo. She tries to sing along.

Archer likes the other Beatles' solo works, along with them as a band, and though his favorite was Paul McCartney, Rory loved Ringo's songs and singing.

Sparrow is happily preparing a salad and adding the freshly picked and cut vegetables into a nice bowl, while Hazel is now stirring the main course, Korey holding a hand against her back to steady her.

"This looks so good, guys!" Tyler says to the kids.

"Thanks! I'm really excited about this dinner."
Sparrow mentions.

"It's nice to have home grown foods. And to make family dinners together." Korey adds.

"We should do this more often! What do you guys think?" Tyler asks the kids.

"Ya! Do again!" Hazel says as she twirls around.

"Yes! I love cooking and I love to learn!" Archer says with a grin.

"Yeah, me too!" Sparrow says with a smile.

"Aaaaa!" Rory squeals loudly.

Sparrow then washes his hands and goes to sit with Rory so Archer can do some of the cooking as well. Archer gets up and cleans his hands too, going into the kitchen and helping however he can.

Soon, all the food is ready and after Hazel sets the table- with her brother's help, the whole family sits down and begins to eat.

"This tastes even better knowing we made it, with our own veggies and all!" Sparrow says in a satisfied way.

"It does! It's delicious." Tyler agrees, and Archer nods.

For once, both boys eat extra salad than the normally do, which surprises Korey and Tyler, but hey, they're not going to complain.

Hazel and Rory even enjoy some of the salad in smaller pieces.

Archer, Sparrow, Korey, Tyler, Hazel and Rory all have lovely conversations and enjoy having dinner, and the kids go outside with Crouton before the sun goes down, Rory crawling and her sibling running around the backyard.

For the rest of the night, Tyler and Korey hang out with the kids, having a family night! :)
