Sorry no pictures for this post. We lost the charger for our camera so I haven't been taking any pictures over the past month. We've been doing really well. Two big things that have happened are.....Jacob is now potty trained!! Happy day! He still has his moments when there are accidents but for the most part he's pretty good. There were a few days where I just wanted to throw in the towel and put him back in diapers, but I stayed strong and kept at it. He was definitely my hardest one to potty train. So we are diaper free for a few months! The next biggest news is we found out that we are having a GIRL!!!!!!!! We are so super excited! Emma will finally have a sister! So little Jane Elizabeth will be joining our family some time around June 13th! So that makes me 24 weeks along and I'm feeling really good, but so huge! Other that bit of news not much new happening here. Life is good!

Noah turns 11 yrs old!

Noah turned 11yrs old in January! He has a friend, Emmery, who turned 10 the day after him so they decided to have a party together on the weekend since most of their friends are the same. They both love going shooting with their dads so Kendall and Erik, Emmery's dad, took them and some friends up into the mountains and they got to shoot at different targets for a few hours. They came home all excited with lots of stories to tell.

 Karen, Emmery's mom, made the boys a cake that looked like a big target! It was awesome!

 As you can imagine, a house full of boys was quite loud and exciting!

 On Noah's birthday we had a dinner and invited my mom and brother Joshua over. Noah was super excited to get some new pants with tons of pockets in them.

 Noah also got his own BB gun so he and Emma can go out and shoot together.

Noah wanted apple pie for his birthday. The headlamp is one of his gifts also.

Noah is a night person. He has been staying up late at night in his bed reading by the light of his alarm clock. So we got him a head lamp so he has better light to read by. I remember staying up late at night when I was his age reading Nancy Drew books. He made a goal to read 12 books by the end of the year and so far he's read 6 books in the last month and a half. He's discovered the joys of reading and that makes me so excited! He loves everything he reads and is learning so much!

He earned his Weblos badge in cub scouts and is now in Boy Scouts. He loves it so far and is super excited for his 1st camp out with his troop.
