Summer Fun Day 3

A Backyard Party
Aaron’s parents were in town to bring Joshua home. Since, they weren’t going to be around the following week for Aubrey’s birthday we had a fun little party in the backyard.

The weather was perfect right around dusk, so (sorry) some of the pictures are blurry. We hung some lanterns, cooked hot dogs on the grill, and then had cupcakes and ice cream out on the deck. It was really nice once the sun set.

Here’s a cute little video of Aubrey cheering when she hears Minnie Mouse cheering for her in her birthday card.

Aubrey was excited to see her present from Grandma and Grandpa Palmer…a yorkshire stuffed dog in a purse, complete with leash, doggie bone, and comb.

She loves the puppy. She’ll put it in the carrier, say “Night, night puppy,” and carry the purse in the crook of her elbow. Think Paris Hilton. When Aubrey does it, it’s both adorable and hilarious. I couldn’t ever get a video of that, but when Grandma was pretending the puppy was licking Aubrey, Aubrey decided to lick back!

Puppies in the Living Room

So, I think our kids miss having a dog (FYI: Cocoa ran away about 2 months ago)…

Aubrey started it all. She was hiding under the coffee table this morning. She crawled out and said, “I dog!”  Then, she started panting and crawling around.
I played along saying, “come here puppy,” and “good girl,” when she came to me. She even let me pat and scratch her head.
The boys were getting a kick out of watching her and Josh suggested that I record it. She stopped when I pulled out the camera, so Seth got down and joined in to coax her. Hence, the video…

Aubrey Dog

When she was all done, she stood up and said, “I me!” I guess she was telling me that she was herself again. Pretty cute and funny for a 19-month old. We can already tell she is going to be a hoot when she gets older.  :P
P.S. This is the first time I’ve uploaded video. Did it work?
