Birthday Bonanza!

March begins the busy birthday season in the Rodriguez house, but first a picture of my cute niece giving everyone the stink eye!

We celebrated Xavier's birthday with several of the cousins!
Isaac turned 9!  I can't even believe it.  Since his birthday is pi day (3/14) he always asks for pie.  This year it was oreo pie!

Noah and I both had pajama day at our respective schools.
Isaac got a cool Bears hoodie from Uncle Josh & Aunt Kjersten and decided to rock a mohawk with it.
We did a one night stay at Embassy Suites locally for Isaac's birthday.  He was excited to swim in the pool.
And to lay in bed, watching movies and eating candy.  It was a great night!
The boys spring break was actually the week before mine, but I was able to take off Monday to kick off their week with them.  Oberweis for lunch? Sure!
Then it was Noah's turn for birthday fun!  He opted for a portillo's cake and did some heavy work eating a large majority of it! Happy 14th, dude!

And lastly, another picture of Lauren.  Life is hard!

Lauren Johanne!

So, my sweet niece is here!  On Thursday, February 11th, Kjersten had her last day of work and we all joked how funny it would be if the baby was born the next day (despite the fact her actual due date was more like 2/24 and her potential induction date was more like 2/17).  Well, low and behold Friday comes and Josh zooms me from the hospital.  After a long night, Ms. Lauren Johanne was born on 2/12/22!  Here are the shots of us finding out all about her arrival!


She is perfect in every way!
The boys toasted some nonalcoholic rose to their newest baby girl cousin!
Bamma was so pleased to meet her 4th grandchild!
Aunt Abby cannot wait for more adventures!

The boys were able to meet her too and were so excited to hold her!



And today we celebrated her 3rd week here and Bamma's 71st birthday!
Can't wait for this cousin crew to have more time together, so much love!
