AJ and DJ
This was too funny - AJ is a slow eater...How slow?? So slow that he was the only one left at the table...everyone else went back to the air castles but he was still enjoying his cupcake and nothing we could say could hurry him up! After he finished every crumb he rejoined the party!

AJ's Birthday Part 2

Hooray!! AJ is 3! July 25, 2007!! I am still so amazed that Alan and I are so blessed! Gigi and Granddad came down for the week - I was getting ready for round 2 of the bar - and they were going to be busy building a deck with us!! Jack helped make sure he was not forgotten in the mix by cutting his first two teeth at 4:00am Monday morning of the bar. He was up all night and had a fever all day Monday and into Tuesday but at 4 months he had 2 teeth! AJ was ready for a big day - Alan, Gigi and Granddad took cupcakes and noise makers to his school (every teacher's dream!) then got the ouse ready for a family party while I finished up day 3 of the bar.

A new bike from Gigi and Granddad!!

He aced the blowing out of the candles this year... what we forgot to tell him was that the big 3 is not part of the cake...while I was picking up I found that there were some big bites missing out it!!

Jessica and Martha are two of AJ's favorites (and ours) as well as our neighbor Andy!A squeeze from mom while Granddad looks on.

Getting Spiderman ready!

Have you seen his latest mode of transportation??

My favorite picture of the month - my happy sweet only Mr. Sun AJ!!
Scott and AJ!! Scott gave him the Spiderman costume which is on every day before and after school - even in 100 degree weather - the costume is a necessity!!
