Happy Birthday AJ!

I'm a little late posting, but last Saturday my big girl turned 4!  We celebrated her and Uncle Vance's birthdays (his was Sunday) with a camping weekend at the lake.  We took the boat, tent and fishing gear and headed out Friday.  Grandpa and Grandma Schneider, Uncle Vance and Aunt Alana met us there.  On Saturday Grandpa and Grandma Hoagland came out and we had a fun (but hot) day.  AJ's favorite part was swimming and being pulled on the tube was a close second.  We stayed til Sunday.  We had considered staying another day, but we were all ready to be back to our home comforts!  I hope we'll get to the lake a few more times this summer.

We also celebrated her birthday with a party on the 16th.  A pink dinosaur party with her friends.  It was at the splash pad, and despite the weather looking a little questionable, it turned out to be a perfect day for a party.  I had been praying real hard, because there was no backup plan!  The kids got to color a dinosaur magnet and then hunt for fossils.  AJ opened her gifts, everyone ate the then they were free to play.  I could not have been happier with how it turned out, and the biggest compliment was from Adam, who said it was a pretty good party.  AJ had a blast, which is what counts.  Here are a few (a lot!) pictures from the party, enjoy!  
Birthday Girl!
