June is for music, fun and food 2010

Avery playing the maracas.

Raspberries and maracas make beautiful music together.

 

This is a new stunt Avery has learned. When she is done eating she rubs whatever is left on her plate in her hair. We are good at watching for her to finish now. We were having to wash her hair three times a day. Rachel brought a plastic hair cap from beauty school for her to wear when she eats. She wore it a couple of times and was very cute wearing it at dinner. She thought she was very stylish and didn't want to take it off. Her hair is long enough to make two tiny pigtails.

Baby play

Avery playing with pegs. She likes to manipulate small toys. These are some of our favorites.

 

Avery Making Raspberries

Spring time 2010

Easter. Avery eating a plate of whipped cream. She's pretty excited about it too!

 

Is there a theme here? This time Avery and Aaron wrote on each other with markers. So this is Aaron's handiwork. You should have seen Aaron. He had red dots all over his scalp. They both did a good job!

March 2010 we went to Phoenix for Spring break. We hiked one morning up one of the little mountains, called Squaw Peak. This is all of the kids except Brianna. (It wasn't spring break for her college, so she stayed home for her classes.)

On the hike. Avery is a great hiker (she got carried the whole way) She knows how to keep hydrated. I think drinking water was her favorite part.

This was a fun day. I don't know how a little girl can dance so fast. She has some good moves! Alisa and Stephen had fun dancing too.

Avery's fun and games

This is not yoga. Just bouncing around on our kick ball.

Guess!!  markers!

Avery and Angel sitting in her grocery cart. Madeline was playing shopping with Avery. They were rolling around the family room squealing and laughing. The dog got tired of it before Avery did.
