Big Dude turns 7!

Lots of fun around here as usual.  St. Patty's day came and went with the usual hilarity.  Bamma provided them with some tattoo mustaches.

I got to spend some quality time with my fav newborn nephew Xavier!

Noah had his music performance at school.  He's in the top row in the flame shirt.  It was everything you might expect a First Grade music program to be adorable, shouty and short!

I headed out the Iowa for some time with Michelle and Andrea!

It was a glorious gluttonous weekend of food and shopping.  I did pretty well for myself on both accounts!

Late night decision on Saturday to cut and color my hair, it went better than all parties expected!

I returned home after Isaac had had his way with some markers during Daddy time!

Usual boy goofiness.  They like to play with my hair and drape it over their own heads.

Our very independent 2 year old likes to do EVERYTHING by himself, including drinking hot chocolate all on his own.

On Thursday the big guy turned 7!  He had a great day both at home and at school!

His requested birthday present, a "jacket vest!"

So on to Spring break and Noah's friend party!

Busy March Birthday time!

Well, I have about 40 pictures to catch up on!  Sunday tradition of Battleship continues with Josh and Kjersten most weeks!

Isaac definitely enjoys being a ham just like his brothers!

Bamma brought some fun glasses for St. Patty's day prep!

I went to the Cossitt clothing sale and scored a couple of wins!

Ellie continues her reign as "Most Patient Dog Ever" as she waits for Isaac to throw her toy.

We enjoyed Faith and Evan's baby shower on Saturday, March 7!  Mike made the adorable onesie cake.

Which was well timed, as Mr. Xavier Nicholas showed up a couple weeks early on March 12th!  Happy and healthy, we are so excited to have a new cousin/nephew!

Bampa took a late night spill in a parking lot and dislocated his pinky.  Thankfully he is ok and won't require surgery (or a robot hand, as Noah inquired about).

Sam enjoys the warmer temps.  I swear, I feed him!

 Mr. Isaac Alan turned 2!  He doesn't quite have the whole "showing 2 fingers" thing down yet!

 Big guy preps for his party!

 3 boys don their "party shirts" and get ready for some fun!

Isaac is obsessed with watches, so my mom bought him a big fancy looking knock off.  He loves it!

Cookie Monster cake!  No, not by Mike this time.  He waits till they are 3 for a dad cake!

 Cousin love!  Exciting to be growing their ranks!

Noah got new "big kid" shoes from Josh and Kjersten, I think they make him look so big!

 And today (Sunday) we went over to meet Xavier!  The boys were all very excited and everyone loved holding him!

 Makes us realize how big our own 'baby" is now!

 Sweet newborn face, love love love!

 Noah asked to hold him a lot, and wants to help me babysit sometime soon!

 Gotta admit, it's pretty fun being on this end of things.  I feel great, I'm not sleep deprived, and I get to return him when he starts screaming.  The Aunt gig is THE BEST!

So that sums up the whirlwind that is our lives as of late!  Excited to continue more fun in the next few weeks as spring kicks in and we celebrate Noah turning 7!
