Birthday Weekend Photo Extravaganza!



We had a fun, crazy, exhausting weekend! Audrey got her birthday weekend kicked off with a small cake on her actual birthday. She didn't get too messy, but she enjoyed eating it.



On Saturday we went to cousin Tyler's 4th birthday party at one of those "jumpy" places. She was a little scared of all of the commotion at first, but she opened up after a few minutes. I never knew that the parents could kick their shoes off and jump too, so I think I had more fun than Audrey did!



Here are the rest of the pictures from Tyler's party:

This is what we discovered in our yard when we got home from the party. That's our neighbor's house on the left and unfortunately, their back yard drains right into ours





Apparently it had been going on for a few hours and our backyard was like a lake. We didn't have any water all night and I was panicked because 1) we needed water to clean up and prep for the party and 2) we were having about 20 people over for Audrey's b'day party on Sunday! Luckily the water was on by morning so Andy and I got up early and cleaned and cooked like crazy.

Audrey was the little birthday diva at her party! She had fun playing with all of the kids, but she didn't want to sit next to me and open presents. I had to bribe her with food to keep her near me for pictures! Emma (who we think is secretly related to Ian after seeing them next to each other) was a very good audience member - every time we'd open a present she'd say "Oooh!" When it came time for cake, Audrey was poking one finger at it, so Daddy finally smashed her hand in it. She ate a little more after realizing what it was, but then she wanted down to go play.





This picture cracks me up - it's tough being the birthday girl!



If you are not tired of pictures, here are the rest from Audrey's party:

All in all, it was a fun party and Audrey has already played with everything she received. When Andy picked Audrey up from daycare today, the poor kid was still so worn out that they told Andy that they found her asleep on the floor with her little butt in the air!
