Memorial Day weekend

We had a great time visiting friends and family over Memorial Day weekend. A.J. got to meet her Great Gandpa Hal and Nanny-Jo for the first time too! I was so happy to see AJ take to my family that we haven't seen in ages!

We had a whirlwind tour of Utah. We first stopped at my parents place in S. Jordan. Then the next day we drove to St. George. We spent two night there and drove back North, stopping in Beaver to see the improvements to Park's Place and get some lunch, then drove to Pleasant Grove where we spent the night at Aaron's Parent's house. Finally driving home later on Memorial day. It was a lot of driving.... when I woke up in our house the next day I actually had to remember where we were!

AJ's First Birthday

Angel Jane had a birthday party this last Saturday to celebrate her first birthday! We had a great time with family and friends. We thought we'd be very hip and serve cupcakes (can you believe cupcakes are in vogue right now? Funny, eh?) and I saw all kinds of cupcake stands online and figured I could make one just as good or better for a lot cheaper. I took some foam core board, paper, stickers and ribbon and viola! After seeing the final result Aaron says I should market them. =) I loved how her cake turned out.

We had the kids decorate hats, play Don't Eat Pete and then we had cake and snacks. It was a fun party, and I think AJ had a good time. Sadly because of her allergy to milk and eggs, she didn't get a cupcake - but she did like the Teddy Grahms we gave her! AJ also loved having so much attention paid to her - she's a very social baby! We couldn't get her to take a nap the day of her party she knew something was going on. I was so worried she was going to have a melt down in the middle of it. But she was a trooper and had a great time.

I confess it was little over the top for a first birthday - but I love the Tungan tradition of having a huge party for a child's first birthday. To have a child turn one and be happy and healthy is a great blessing, and something to celebrate. I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with my baby girl!

Really big Baby Einstein

AJ loves to watch her Baby Einstein videos - the other day she was so cute watching one in her pj's I just had to take a couple of pictures. The funny thing is Aaron and I have been so busy lately that Baby Einstein is the most frequently viewed thing in our new theater room! AJ only gets one video a day - so it's funny that our new area is currently being used for Baby Einstein and that's it. Once we get the whole system set up - we'll use it more, but for now AJ gets her really big Baby Einstein. =)
