So these pictures are in reverse order. Why can't I ever get this right?? So this picture should have been the last one. We had Joey's birthday party tonight, up at the Rehab Center where I work. There is a big auditorium room in the basement, and I am sooooo glad we decided to have it there. Lots of room to run! Joey wanted a super hero birthday party. There were lots of costumes, chasing, screaming, sweating, and fun! And I didn't have to clean my house before and after! I think that is Derek under the pile of kids, I can tell by the Nikes.
Even Grandma B and Grandpa Paul sported some superhero wear.
Joey and his day care buddy Kaleb.
Auntie Binzer and Uncle Brian sent a superman onesie for Audrey, and Joey's super cool Iron Man costume. He has worn it every day since Tuesday, as well as at night to sleep in. Iron Man also was worn to Target the other day.
Joey handing the birthday gift bags out to his friends.
The craziness of opening presents!
Happy Birthday to Derek on the 17th, Joey on the 20th, and Audrey on the 23rd.
Sitting with Auntie "Snefanie", Hailey and Audrey.
The kids ran around for about 1/2 an hour and then ate dinner. I had an obstacle course set up for the kids, and a parachute.
Even baby Alice (4 months) made it to the party!
..almost one!
Wahoo!
loving his costume
the Grandma's trying to get Audrey to walk
Before the chaos! We survived a 4 yr old boy birthday party!! Joey had a blast. It was a very fun evening. Now I'm going to bed!! (before I have to start planning Audrey's 1st birthday party)
Tomorrow is Audrey Ann Aho's first birthday. She was 10 days early, like her brother. She has kept us on our toes ever since. Cousin Celia sent out these awesome butterfly wings for Audrey. I think she might need to get used to them, just like she needs to get used to pretties in her hair!
Always on the move. She is a busy girl who loves climbing up and down the stairs, onto chairs, into boxes, you name it, she's there!
She also loves teasing her puppies.
She is very "active" as her Auntie Binzer noticed while trying to skype. She is all wet, because she dumped a full glass of water on herself..don't ask...
Next week, we will be going down to Mpls, for her appointment at Children's Hospital, where they will be doing a renal ultrasound and VCUG to check the status of her ureters and bladder. We have had to give her a low dose of antibiotic every day for the last 10 months to prevent another urinary tract infection from occurring. We are hoping her Grade II reflux has cured itself, and that she has "grown out of" the problem. We will find out on the 31st.
I think Audrey wants to be like her cousin CC. She still only has 2 teeth..
We will be having her birthday party April 9th, after my parents get back from HI, and after her doctor's appointment. We are hoping to have lots to celebrate. Check your mailboxes!!
