Lily's First time eating cereal
I captured the first time lily ate cereal yesterday. Daddy was feeding her, hence the cereal all over her face rather than in her mouth. She liked it so much that she didn't want daddy to take the spoon out of her mouth. Another girl who loves food in our house. This isn't gonig to help her baby rolls!! LOL
A new big girl in the House!
Wow -- this weekend was exhausting. I am thoroughly worn out! Let me start out that our little Girl turned 4!!! She is a happy camper and also graduated to a booster seat this week -- W have also had great success on her having dry diapers in the morning so let's hope we are done with that!! 
Valentine's Day was very sweet at our house, daddy was home at a surprising early time (before we left for dance) and had flowers delivered to mommy that morning and brought 2 single stem roses home for his daughters. {such a thoughtful husband -- he has his moments!! ;-) } Rosetta loved the rose and fell in love with daddy all over again!
{here is our valentine's} 
{Rosetta and Lily}
On Saturday Rosetta had cheer leading camp with the Indian Hills Community College cheerleaders. She was so excited and had been talking about it forever!!
She was so excited to cheer that we had the outfit on 3 hours before the game!!! She even put her "game" face on with face tattoos they gave us.
We were all pumped up for the game. Mommy took Rosetta and Xavier to the game, while daddy and the two youngest girls had good bounding time.
At the game Xavier was super impressed with the REALLY TALL basketball players. The game was good and I watched Xavier's eyes widen as the guys went up and down the court. At half time the cheerleaders came out and my girl is smack dab between the 2 boy cheerleaders!! I was very proud of our girl!!!
When I went down after the half to get Rosetta she was holding the blond boy's hand and and was excited when she saw Xavier and me. She told me this boy was her best friend... oh boy are we in trouble! :-) i will have to post videos of the dance soon. Also Saturday was the first time we tried rice cereal with Lily. We were just going to attempt it to see if she would like it.... I would say she is in love with cereal. Only problem was right after she had the little bit of cereal she fell into a coma and slept the rest of the night! Let's just say her belly was full and she was happy.
{ "I want food daddy!"}
On Sunday morning was Glorianna's 4th birthday. She was all smiles that morning. She got all dressed up in the birthday gift her mommy and daddy got her -- a minnie mouse dress and Minnie ears! She was all ready for her party. We had her party at a place called jumping jim's, which is a big indoor bounce house. We had about 8 kids there running around and sweating and having a ball.
They were slip and sliding and bouncing everywhere. We finally got them all together to blow out candles and eat cake and then they were off again to bounce some more.
{Happy birthday to you}
{blowing out the candles on her Minnie mouse cake}
{anticipation of opening gifts}
{she was so super excited with every gift she opened}
{BIRTHDAY GIRL}
when we got home from jumpin jim's we had to get out her new wii game Disney Sing it and belt out a few tunes before cubbies. I think mommy likes the game better than the kids!!! i know all the songs and got 5 stars on princess and the frog's song "almost there" and showed the kids how to sing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (spelling?? do you know spellcheck actually had this in the dicitionary?!?) My kids were not impressed with my many talents. 
Lily is still loving her jumper and it seems to wear her out!
And tonight is dance night. Rosetta had to dress up her American doll, Bella, just like her to go to dance! Okay now mommy has to go get some work done so she can have a weekend away this Friday with my sisters and mom. So looking forward to so much needed shopping therapy! LOL

Weekend In Ohio
We headed off to Ohio last week and got to spend some much needed time with family. The kids had a blast and it was great to see almost everybody! We got to eat lots of good food (thank you Pam and mom) but I was able to not gain more than a pound on the trip. I am okay with that!! :-)
Everybody got to see how lily has grown so much since Christmas. She is a tub-a-lub now! 
She sat and watched the Buckeyes play on Saturday on grandpa's lap. Some people watched the game... 
...some watched it behind closed eyes!
All of us got to love on mason a couple days too! He is a cutie and there are many similarities between him and lily. They both have the same nose, eyes, and pudgy baby fat rolls!
Our oldest three were able to get out in the snow and use the sleds we bought a while ago but haven't gotten out of the boxes. They had a blast!!!
{Lincoln and my sister Beth}

{Lincoln and my sister Beth}It always takes a bit for Lincoln to warm up to me, but successfully in about 3 hours I had him smiling for the camera!!
that ham!!!!
Xavier always likes to practice his billiard skills while home in Ohio. I don't know how many "games" were played but it kept them entertained.
{mason and lily}
{holding hands}
Xavier is our fearless little boy - Nate was pushing him as fast as he could down the hill and all you could hear was his laughter!!!
{my boy in a Kalida Wildcats hat -- gotta luv it!!}
Megan was a little babysitter to lily, she was a baby hog until her mom came over! LOL
Uncle Neil even stopped in and got a few tickles in before he had to leave. Glorianna just adores her uncle -- all giggles!!
{mason's smiles}
{grandma Judy and Glorianna -- note I had her hair all pretty and straightened that morning and 5 minutes after it is done its a mess again! UGH}
{lily and baby jack (4 weeks old)}

{Lauren in the snow}
{faith in our tunnel that we dug... three days later I am still paying for it. My shoulder is throbbing, the things we do for those adorable nieces and nephews!!}
{Rosetta and Megan all smiles!}
{This big kid had to try it too. The most hilarious part is the trench Nate put in the snow from going down on the sled!!}
{Proof that yes mommy was out there too! Mommy never gets in the pictures!!}
{Faith and Xavier made the record for going the longest distance by holding hands on two tubes!}
{Nate's attempt on a tube}
{Faith and Rosetta-- looks like the tooth fairy had been busy!! ;-) }
We made lots more snow memories. It was sad to leave after having so much fun, but back to the grind. The trip went well except for the last hour 20 minutes where lily was fussy. I made the decision to keep going because she just wanted out of her seat. I was wrong, she had a poopy diaper and because of mommy she had her first case of diaper rash. Sorry little girl! Other than that we made it back to Iowa with no problems.
