Spring Break and Noah's 9th bday!

I feel so horrible that I haven't updated in so long!  With Facebook and being able to post pics I sometimes forget that everyone doesn't have Facebook and I need to post on my blog too!

We are definitely ready for spring to be here, but as of today we are in a Winter Storm Watch through Monday morning!  We could get another 2-4 inches of snow!!  We are ready for thunderstorms and warmer weather!  I love living in Iowa bc I get to experience all 4 seasons, and I am definitely ready for each of them as they come!

Andy took all 3 girls to a Daddy/Daughter dance at our preschool for Valentines Day!  They all loved it! 

Titus turned 6 months old on March 1st!  He is a tiny little thing!  Only weighs 16 lbs which is the 23% and is 28" long which is 53%.  If he continues to grow at this rate he will be 6 ft and 140 lbs as a senior in high school!  Tall and skinny!  He has eaten all the 1st foods veggies and fruits.  Peas, green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, peaches, pears, apples, mangoes, prunes, bananas, and rice cereal.  He still nurses every 4 hours or so and sleeps between 10-12 hours at night!  Still naps 2-3 times a day sometimes 4 times a day still! 

Noah turned 9 on March 7th and we had a fun family/friend party at Ramada Tropics Indoor Waterpark Resort on March 9-10th and Auntie Nikki and Uncle Ryan suprised Noah and flew in for his bday!

He just this week started to be able to sit for a little bit at a time without tipping over!  He has been on the move for over a month now!  Up on all 4's rocks back and forth and then lunges forward and in the last 2 weeks started using his elbows and toes to pull himself all around the house!  He is getting so big so fast!   

Avery has also started 2 yr old preschool and is potty training.  She goes poop in the potty all the time, has only had a handful of accidents in the last 3 weeks!  She is doing great!  She loves preschool, she goes once a week until May 15th.  She really needs it too or next year her teacher is going to pull her hair out!@  Avery is very BUSY!!  Into everything and anything on the move constantly and we train and discipline every day trying to get her to listen and follow directions!  She responds well to discipline but still has a ways to go!  Hopefully by the time she turns 3 in July she will be a little better at listening!  My auntie calls her Pistol Pete!  She is the light in our lives right now that is for sure!  She gives us a run for our money every day!

The older 3 also enjoy school a lot and Morgan is super excited to start Kindergarten next year!

We have just been enjoying our Spring Break! We made a trip to Kansas City March 16-18 and went to Legoland, Sealife, and Union Station. My phone died when we got to Union Station so Andy took lots of pics with his phone! However, he has been having major issues with his phone and somehow his SD card keeps getting swiped clean and wouldn't you know it, as he was starting to text me the pics from Union Station it happened and we lost all the pics from that day! But we have it in our minds!

We are looking forward to Easter as we remember what Christ did for us on the cross. He took our punishment so we did not have to die but could live forever with Him! Hallelujah!

We have some other fun things happening in our family and will share about those on the next post!  Here are some pics from our last few months!
