Cuteness and peer pressure

Julie's little Madam Alexander

Every dad has made this face

"Avery, I don't think you should be tagging on the wall"

"Unless you want to be cool, Lenore. Look, its easy!"

"Like this? Wow, I do feel cool."

"This was such a bonding moment, your my best friend"

4th of July

London's first 4th of July


London slept through the fireworks, and
Avery did o.k until they started exploding over our house.

Bow malfunction.

We had such a fun "4th" thanks to the crazy people on our street.
Oh, and the city's firework show was fun too.

A Family Video

Here is a little fun video of some small family activities we have recently undergone.

Easter, Play, and Zoo Pictures

EASTER

Yes, I know it's practically the fourth of July, but we operate kind of like the DMV around here, it may take months to do a simple task that only takes 5 minutes.

Avery really thinks there is an Easter Bunny. She went to bed and left the basket outside on the porch and when she woke up it was full of candy...what other explanation is there? None.


London's obliviousness is cute enough that the Easter Bunny left her something too.


We have the most difficult hiding spaces, nestled among the camoflauge of the cement.


Here the girls are enjoying the new and exciting treats and toys which have been mysteriously left by the magical secretive rodent

PLAY TIME

I know what it looks like, but I really wasn't trying to throw her into the phone wires

Does every picture have to have a caption?

London wakes up with this punk rock hairdo every morning. She likes the clash.

And here is the front view.


ZOO

"Vote for Summer"

Have you ever seen a Giraffe fight? It's hillarious. They swing their heads around like a whip and hit each others necks. Pretty akward looking.

5K Fun Run

Marc and I (Gene) did this 5K race at Cal State Fullerton on Saturday. It was pretty fun. We ended up competing slightly, but it turns out we are well matched since we finished within seconds of each other. I also enjoyed the free t-shirt, and free health snacks we got. here are some pictures.

Stretching and warming up



Just before the race started



Crossing the finish with Marc hot on my tail



Marc crossing the finish




I was a little bit puzzled that my time was slower than my practice runs around my neighborhood, i think Marc felt the same way.

B-17 Flight

I had an opportunity, thanks to my flying ability and the help of a friends pocket book to fly in an old WWII B-17 bomber. Below are a couple of the pictures I took and a short video. It was awesome!

Apparently there is only about 8 or so of these still flying today


Not sure if its true, but someone told me the average live expectancy of a tail gunner in combat was less than a minute.


This is looking out of the open sliding canopy, which they kept open the whole flight


This was the flight back from Gillespee field in San Diego. We were socked in like this the whole way. This picture was taken over Temecula, if that wasn't obvious

Lots of new pictures

Classic Dallin with a smile as big as all outdoors

The St. Patrick's day activity was searching for the gold

Go Grandma Sherri, way to bring your work home with you



And at last, the gold, but the leprechan was nowhere to be found.

Our family's new toy, a double jogger stroller/ bike trailer.

Avery was excited, London looked concerned

London decided to close her eyes and hoped that it would all go away

Amy's Baby Shower was a hit. Now we just need a baby. Any day now.

Don't try and tell her she is not a ballerina

Curtsy

Happiest place on earth


The snow whites are getting younger and younger every year

"A" is for Avery

Our sweet baby girl

Either super mad or super excited
