We're not surprised to see that Luke refused to eat asparagus in science class!
Celebrating her birthday with her class, Madison got to choose between 7 kisses, 7 hugs, 7 high-fives or 7 spankings...she went with the high-fives :-)
Sharing donuts with her friends

Ashley Clark Salamera

She has arrived!  Our good friends, the Salamera's, welcomed a new baby girl in March...Ashley Clark Salamera.  She is gorgeous!  We all got together to meet the sweet little thing.  Congratulations Channing, Jeremy, & big sisters Brookelyn & Carson!

Maddie is smitten :-)
Luke & Miles stop by to see what's the fuss
All the monkeys (minus Avery who had to stay home with an injury) L:R...Olivia, Carson, Paige, Brookelyn, Hannah, Madison, Sadie, Luke & Miles
The Dads & their babies
Just the boys
The girls (we missed you Gwen!)
After pictures & present opening Madison & Paige went right back to Ashley...

The Cubs

Luke's first baseball team!  Needless to say, as a Cubs fan, Mike was pretty excited to see what team we were assigned.  Only team that could have been better would be the Giants.  He said might have refused to coach if we were the Dodgers :-)
Coach Allen & Luke
The first game was a little wet.  It was pouring so hard that we were only able to squeeze in one inning...
 
 
Grandpa Silly was the team sponsor :-)
As usual, Uncle Jason was being utilized as a post-game personal jungle gym

Ready for the Tour de France

Our crazy but cautious little girl decided she's done with training wheels...
Not to be outdone, Luke also said goodbye to his training wheels...
We don't need these things anymore!

Squaw

We were able to squeeze in one last weekend of skiing, after tax season but before the resorts closed for the summer.
