Rowan-asaurus is a TWO-Rex!


      The baby is TWO. Little, bitty Rowan is not a baby and he will be the first to tell ya. He's a firecracker and acts as big as his siblings even if he has zero impulse control and wants what he wants-RIGHT NOW. He's a cutie for sure and has learned to use his "sweet voice" to get what he wants. He still goes to bed first and we all sigh in relief when he is asleep. He will wear you out and kiss your face. He will steal your phone and act like he found it for you. He will also jump off the couch onto you and then sit quietly and watch a movie... His hair is still awesomely fluffy and requires a cut every other month. He thinks "Go get gas" is a put down of some sort... and tells Matt to "go get gas!!!" just about every morning when he isn't quite ready to wake up. He loves Buzz Lightyear, Dinos, snacks, fluffy stuffies, anything his siblings have and anything he can throw. He’s also figured out that he can climb out of his bed and open the two doors it takes to get to the living room. He proudly exclaimed, I wake up!!!! After being in bed for about 4 minutes. Keep us in your well wishes  ;) 

He is very independent, doesn't need any help at all to climb on the table or scale the back of the couch. He will find the one thing in the room that he shouldn't toiuch and destroy it. Callie still refers to him as Destructo Baby. He's super great at throwing rolls of toilet paper in the potty (Only successful once.... although he's been caught in the act several times.) He is able to put his shoes on by himself and almost get himself dressed- which he thinks is some sort of hilarious trick. We still call him Row Row or Rowie but he refers to himself as whoa-win. And it's precious. He went through a MoMan phase and that was sweet too. 

He goes to infinity and beyond more often than not. This kid is a force.

Spring Post!

 It's so awesome that I used to be able to do monthly posts. BAHAHAH. 

It's fine, everything is fine. We are just busy out here living life to the fullest and falling asleep at night like we've run a marathon each day. 

Spring is here....wait, it's almost gone. Summer is about to be amazing. 

     Spring was wonderful, we saw Disney on Ice in Cincinnati, Matt and I saw Brett Young in concert, we went to Gatlinburg for a bit on spring break.  We started tee ball softball, with both myself and Matt coaching Lucy's team again. I started FitCamp again, at the park this time. We got all snazzy for Easter, and celebrated Pollinator Day! We got to catch up with friends we hadn't seen in years! Thunder over Louisville was a huge hit this year because we stayed at the Sheraton in Jeff and did not deal with any crazy traffic. Lucy won the science fair for Kindergarten at our school. We went to the balloon glow again and it was awesome. Then May flew on by with lots of softball, a trip to French Lick to celebrate Matt's birthday, lots of fun "spirit" school days and assemblies, I finally had a dentist appointment (first one since Oct 2019 and you can't even judge because I got a great report!!), Lucy rides a bike without training wheels and Rowan's birthday!! We will finish up with the last week of school next week so exciting summer things can begin.  

We did lots of boring, great things too and we did play at home more than it sounds. Luckily, we've all stayed well and out of trouble (mostly) so we can enjoy all this fun stuff. I am hoping all of that stays the same for summer!
