A.J.'s First Birthday

Wednesday June 18, 2008---My beautiful, loving, adorable niece, AvaJo "A.J." Marie Dowdy, turned one year old today. She is so sweet. Her curly dark hair and pretty blue eyes just make your heart melt. He always wants to give hugs and kisses, but she usually takes Chloe down in the process. They love to play with each other but do get jealous often. A.J. and Chloe are so cute together.

Her party was held last Saturday at a park in New Albany. Adam cooked burgers and dogs on the grill. The kids played on the playground and went for "hikes". It had rained earlier in the day so the kids were nice and muddy. A.J. wasn't too fond of her cake. In one picture you can see that she is trying to throw it off her high chair. She did enjoy opening presents and she received a lot of nice things.
