Party like a Rockstar

Audrey is ONE! I can't believe it has already been a year! Her first year FLEW by. We decided to make her 1st birthday party a Rockstar Party! I always wanted my little girl to wear a tutu for her 1st birthday party, so I had her a cute pink and black tutu. She wore it for the WHOLE party! She was such a trooper. We had lots of fun and thank you to everyone who came and celebrated Audrey's special day with us!

Here is Audrey with her cute tutu and a birthday balloon.

Meredith made the super cute cake...

...and cookies.

Audrey and Daddy getting ready to open presents. She sat in his lap for about as long as it took to take this picture. LOL

So, Daddy was left to open all the presents by himself.

Michael showing her what she got.

Playing with her stroller

PawPaw had pillows made for Michael and Audrey and shipped just in time for Audrey's birthday. Here is Audrey's pillow.

Trying out her new pillow.

Getting ready to sing Happy Birthday.

Digging in! She was SO messy once she was done! It was super fun!

I know I have been terrible at updating the blog lately! I have so much to update. I need to get some pictures from some other people so I can get to updating! I will leave you with a video of Audrey dancing! So cute!

Random Pictures

Backyard Fun

A few weeks ago, we pulled out the slip and slide so Michael and Audrey could play in the backyard. Audrey was not impressed...but Michael loves it. I didn't get any pictures of him playing on the slip and slide...Michael decided to drench me with the water hose. But after slip and slide, we played baseball and Michael and Daddy played in the water sprinkler. Here are a few pictures.

Work Out

So, now that I am no longer pumping, Aaron and I have started to work out again. We decided to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. We were going to do the DVD once both kids went to bed. Which means, we would not be working out until almost 9:00 pm. And that is just TOO late. And we are not early risers, so morning workout are not an option. So, we decided to work out after we put Audrey down. Which means, we would be working out about 8:00ish.

We asked Michael if he wanted to work out with us, and he said yes. We didn't think he would last long...but he did the ENTIRE workout. From the warm-up all the way through the cool-down. He had so much fun. He kept telling us how to do the exercises. So, last night I had to tape him doing the work out with us! He tries so hard to get the exercises right. Oh, and we don't have fake dumb-bells, so we improvised and used Michael's toy hammers for his weights. And on the 2nd night of work-out, Michael did the ENTIRE work-out again. I told Aaron that Michael will have a six pack by the time he is 4. LOL

***Warning*** Tons of short videos!

Here we are warming up and we are rotating our knees in a circle.

Still warming up...doing jumping jacks

This is Michael's version of a push-up.

You are supposed to be doing a squat with an arm press. He does this one pretty good.

Here were are doing standing dumb-bell ("hammer") rows

I will be downloading more videos once my phone decides to send them to my email.

Muscles

The other day, Michael came into the livingroom and told me to look at his BIG MUSCLES! And this is what he did. I grabbed my phone (sorry for the quality of the pictures) and told him to keep showing me his muscles. He strains so hard, Aaron told me to stop making him hold the pose, that the boy was going to poop his pants. SO funny! I love how he bends his knees!

Swing me, Daddy!

Aaron was holding Audrey when he got home from work yesterday. He started to swing her back and forth and every time he stopped, she would shake her head back and forth and smile. She does this everytime now. It is so cute. And when you pick her up, if she wants you to swing her, she will shake her head back and forth. LOL.
