More pictures from Aubrey's birthday!

My precious little ONE year old...not quite a baby anymore.
Is anything more fun than a bucket of cookie cutters? Not in Aubrey's world!
Aubrey finally decided to join Sam and Evan in the BIG bouncy house!
Sam wakes up each day asking to go into the bounce house...so he was pretty happy to get to use it a lot on this rainy day.
Good for me too, helped tucker those boys out!

Happy Birthday Aubrey Jeanne!

My sweet baby girl is ONE today...hard to believe a full year has passed. I am in awe of how much I adore this precious little one. Her laughter and smiles bring joy to my days and even though she drives me crazy at times she still lights up my world. I thank God everyday for her life and her health and I feel so blessed that I get to be her mommy. It was only a year ago that I lay in a hospital bed getting to know the newest addition to our family. She certainly changed our lives and turned our world up side down...in a good way. I am SO BLESSED!!

Today 4/22/08

Aubrey and Sam with Cassie...poor Cassie was tied up so she couldn't really fight their love and attention!


Sam, my handsome guy, finally stood still long enough to get a cute picture of him! And Aubrey...her face is healing up pretty well...and she actually wore a hat for awhile today, pretty amazing!

This picture is how I found Aubrey after I finished washing dishes...she's such a monkey!

Aubrey's big fall

I just have to say Aubrey is one rough and tumble little girl! She is going to be my trouble maker for sure! We were outside playing this morning after our walk and she decided to climb up onto Sam's bike (just a small tricycle) and she ended up going over the handlebars and landed on her face...poor thing got quite a scrape! I think we may wrap her in bubble wrap!!

NSKS 5K Race 4/13/08

So, Mike competed in his first race on Sunday in Nashua. It was a 5K run and he did great, finishing in 25 minutes and 48 seconds! I am so proud of him. I walked the family 3K with the kids in the jogging stroller. We are so thankful that the rain stopped just in time for us to go outside. I only got a few pictures as it was a very hectic day. Our friend Rich also joined Mike in the 5K race.

A beautiful sunny day at the playground

Sam was so proud of himself, he can finally do this all by himself!!
I'm pretty sure they were pretending to "cook"
A little chilly, but still cute in pink!
They balance eachother off pretty well...and have so much fun together.

This video is Sam and Evan on the tire swing having their infamous debate over later/after. Evan is very sensitive to the differences between these two words so when he chooses one he means it and Sam knows this so he constantly argues with Evan (even though I really don't think Sam cares!) They sometime do drive me a bit crazy with their debate but I wanted to capture it on video.

Aubrey is starting to get a handle on this walking thing!
