A Bunch of Random Pictures

Avery mimics his siblings' behavior: here he is on the Wii Fit board, doing what he sees his brother and sister do.

Ashlie helps take care of Baby Max (my sister Aubrey's baby).  She is a natural with babies!

Olivia wanted to make lunch for everyone, Subway-style.  She called it "Subway-ish".

Alex lost his first two teeth in March.  Here he is after his first tooth came out.  His two new teeth were already poking through behind the two that came out!

Ashlie invented this Trashboard for her Invent America school project.  It is a piece of flexible plastic that attatches to one corner of the trash can.  The Trashboard the acts like a backboard and helps trash to make it into the wastebasket rather than fall onto the floor.  She did an amazing job and refused any offers for help with her display board.  I'm still using the prototype that she made for me to try out because it works so well.

My mom is always willing to cut hair when asked.  She is self-taught and does a great job.  This time Alex refused to get his hair cut unless Grandma Miller did it.

Avery just being cute!

People keep telling me that Avery is looking more and more like Alex.  What do you think?  This is Avery's first experience in a shopping cart car.  Now he points at them at the store and grunts, making it known that it's his preference.  Thanks, Jenn, for introducing him to those awful carts! 

I wait for Alex and Olivia to come out of school on the days I don't drive Ashlie's carpool.  Here Alex is, walking to the car after school one day.  The grumpy look on his face is there because he saw me pointing the camera at him.  He doesn't like to have his picture taken without prior permission being granted.

Ashlie's 5th grade class did a program called 'Across America'.  There was a wonderful sampling of songs and it was very well choreographed.  The performers did a wonderful job; it was one of the very best school programs I've seen.  Ashlie is pictured in the picture below, second to the right on the front row.
