The Girls are 2!

We decided to have the girls' birthday party at Boondocks this year. We had a lot of family come and it turned out to be really fun... for me! I love the games and getting tickets. The girls took turns blowing out the candles. I wasn't sure they'd even know what to do, but they did. It was cute.

Piper's is a little fuzzy.
This is a picture of about everyone.
They got Baby Alives and those have been a big hit. They drink bottles, eat food, pee and poop. We haven't fed the babies food yet though.
Piper looks happy to get a new baby!
We decided that it was time to move since I'm pregnant with our 4th, which is a boy. Averi sleeps in our closet and with one more coming we just decided it was time for a bigger house. So we sold the chickens. That's been kind of nice. They were kind of a pain. Their water would freeze everyday, and Matt was the only one taking care of them. We're actually moving in 2 weeks. We got really lucky because in order to keep our house and rent it out we need to have renters in our house for a few months. So we need to live in a rental for a while. Some neighbors of ours have a house a little bigger with a salon in the basement. So we'll live there while we look for something more permanent. Matt got a 4-wheeler a few months ago and the kids love getting rides on it. I'm sure it would be a lot more fun if it were warm outside. But they all look happy!
The kids are all getting old so quickly. Asher has been a really big help lately. He'll do a job and just ask what's next. The only issue is that he's really scared! It's sort of taking over our lives. He has to take one of the girls with him wherever he goes. I really hope he outgrows it soon because it's so tiring!
We just registered him for kindergarten a few days ago. I'm excited for him to go to school, I think he'll love it. Where we're moving to he'll be able to ride the bus, and we're both happy about that.
Averi is so sweet. The kids and I were sick throughout most of January, and Averi had me hold her for about 3 weeks straight. Averi just learned how to open doors and is talking a ton. She and Piper sing to each other a lot. That's really cute. They play good for the most part, but still take toys from each other and cry over stuff like that.
Piper has been really good lately. She was really sweet while everyone was sick and that helped a ton. She's not up on the counter as much as she used to be. Piper talks a ton too. It always surprised me to hear the new things they're always saying. The girls are starting to notice my belly. It's getting big!
I don't have any pictures of me while I'm pregnant, but you're not missing much! It been a lot nicer just being pregnant with one, but I feel like it's still really hard on my body. My scar has been really sore and hurts a lot. I've heard a bunch of nightmare stories about problems, so I'm just going to have to not lift anything heavy while we pack up and move.
I'll have to post some pictures of our rental when we get in.
