Family Hike

We went on a hike/walk from Upper Lincoln Park to Lower Lincoln Park and back.  We enjoyed some snacks under a tree when we reached Lower Lincoln Park.  It was a great family activity, and it was nice having Charley with us too.

If you look carefully, you can see the burr Mason stepped on.

We see London, we see France, we see Katie's underpants diaper!

Copying Katie!

We had a good laugh over Katie's diaper!  The kids were copying Katie.

Charley tethered to the tree we picnicked at.

Ruthie thinking about climbing the tree.

Daddy giving RuthAnne a pep talk on climbing the tree.

Asher, a pro-climber!

I love Katie's expressions in these pictures.

Katie giving it a go!

A natural!

Ruthie wishing she could be up in the tree with the other kiddos.

Asher's Last Day of School

Asher got a picture with his kindergarten teacher, Ms. Peregrina, and RuthAnne got a picture with her speech teacher, Mrs. Joy Maes.  The kids had a great year at Gale Elementary!  We love Gale!

Asher's School Talent Show

Asher performed a magic trick in the talent show at his elementary school.  He made images from the audience's mind "magically" appear in a blank book.  Then he "magically" made those pictures turn from black-and-white to color.  He did great at his audition!  He made everyone laugh.  I heard he did great in front of the school too.  The night of the performance in front of all the parents, he got a little stage fright and couldn't stop giggling.  It was funny... but his principal, Mrs. Godfrey, helped him get through it to the end! :)  Everyone can't help but love Asher.

Asher's Spring Photo

We lost almost all of Asher's school pictures from the beginning of the school year.  So we bought the Spring Photo too.  Thankfully, we didn't lose the cd with his photo on it.  So for all those who haven't seen Asher's Kindergarten photos yet, enjoy!  I love them!

 He's such a sweetie pie!  I love my Asher... the boy who brightens my day.  :)

Asher's Music Program

Kids I know in this picture are Danielle, Isabella, Candace, Brendan, Lex, Sydney, Emma, and Riley

Asher remembered all the hand signals that they practiced in class!

This one reminds me of Nikki wiping her booger on the stage of the roadshow!

Mason took Asher to his music program in May.  We were all going to go as a family, but the girls were taking turns being sick, and I stayed home with them.  Mason videotaped the performance, and it was pretty cute.  All the songs contributed to celebrating Arizona's 100th year of being a state.  Go Arizona!
