My all time favorite photo of Boyd. I love the composition of the whole photo.

YE OLDE PHOTOS - Starring April

I'm convinced that April was the most photographed child in the world. Here are just a few of the many photos of her. Watch out. . . you could be next!

A rare shy moment (I have a photo of Michelle in this exact pose) at 'This is the Place' monument.


"I think I'm getting a little sleepy"

"To be or not to be, that is the question"

"I'm cute as a button"


"I just wave like this, and the boys come runnin"

That's cousin Delina that April is holding at Grandma & Grandpa Brotherson's house.

I'm even cute when I crawl. . .

" I believe that just one great accessory can make an outfit"...
" Of course, not everyone can pull it off. . ."
I did hear that April had been hitting the bottle lately...
"Don't fence me in. . ."

I feel pretty.... oh so pretty....
April, holding the car door open with Grandma Erickson, Grandpa Erickson, Claude Erickson and his sister Charlotte.
MORE TO COME.... WHO'S NEXT???
