A Heartfelt THANK YOU!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...to ALL of you that came and helped re-shingle our home this past week. We are forever in debt to all of you. I was not prepared for the job itself, what a big project! And we were overwhelmed with all the family and friends that so graciously gave up their "free" time to come and help. THANK YOU AGAIN! Have a great week everyone, we're just getting things ready downstairs in the updated bathroom and Andray's room and hopefully he can move down to his BIG BOY room this weekend.

Love, the Stang's


Before with the old, gray shingles...

The delivery of the shingles...

Andray and his big cousin Mya loved the big truck!

Ripping off the old, and putting on the new shingles...

Jake and I couldn't get over all the people that came to help, and worked from sun up to sun down...amazing.

Almost completed here...

The final product. The green is tough to see with the morning frost and sun shining behind, but the house looks so different. Thanks again everyone for all your help! We could not have done it without ALL OF YOU!

Another Great Easter Come And Gone


We had a great Easter weekend, hope the rest of you did too! What's sad is Andray was as small as the white Easter bunny to his left in this photo last year. Man kids grow fast! The Twins have been winning too, so that's good, and we had a great surprise this week. Adam and Heather flew home to Minnesota from Florida on Monday and came to visit last night! Andray was so excited to see them. I forgot my camera at work, but Heather got some great photos last night that we'll have to post later. Have a great week everyone....Love, the Stang's



Andray loved his Easter eggs!




We were happy to travel to the Rausch side Easter Sunday...Andray loves his "Rausch" Grandmas!

At the Stang Easter the great grandkids all had an Easter egg hunt (thanks to Krista!). The older kids were very kind to Andray and shared their "findings." Big cousin Ella was especially nice, sharing her Gold Fish....we found out very quickly that Andray loves Gold Fish! Put it on the grocery list!



LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON

Jake and Andray were very happy to see the Twins win this past week...

Here, Andray wasn't too happy that the Twins lost the season home opener...oh well, it's a long season! Ha!

Have A Blessed Easter Weekend....

Have a blessed Easter weekend with your families everyone! Andray is excited to open his Easter basket Sunday morning. Safe travels wherever you may go. We'll be with Jake's family all weekend, looking forward to it! Love, the Stang's

March Madness Ends...Baseball Season Begins...

Well, another great March Madness season has come and gone...and congrats to all you UNC fans. I'm a fan of both the ACC and the Big 10, just wish it could've been a better game to watch. And speaking of better games to watch, wish the Twins "last season opener in the Dome" last night against Seattle would've been more pleasing to the eye as well. Jake is convinced that the Twins are going to go 161-1 this season! Ha! Andray didn't care though about the bad games on TV. He loved playing with his ball and glove, just wasn't too keen on his new Twins hat...oh well, he'll get used to the hat eventually. Have a great Easter everyone...Love, the Stang's
Uncle Aaron and Auntie Rachel would be pleased, looks like Andray's going to be a lefty pitcher!
Andray is just growing up way too fast...unreal.

Happy Holy Week To Everyone...

Well, Andray thoroughly enjoyed playing with the palms that Jake and I got from church for Palm Sunday. Hard to believe Holy Week is here already, lent just flew by! Hope you are all doing well. The three of us headed to Willmar this past weekend to celebrate my family's Easter. We had a ton of fun, it's so much fun to see how the great grandchildren are growing so fast! Have a great week everyone and Happy Easter this coming weekend. Travel safe where ever you may go!

Love, the Stang's

It was great to see my Godson Jett...he's growing up so much!

All the great grandchildren had an Easter egg hunt. Andray was napping during the hunt, but Jett was very helpful and helped Andray find his 5 eggs. Andray was pretty stoked to pick out each egg from his basket and try to eat them. Granma and Papa Frank thought it was pretty funny too!


Well, we're over 32 weeks now with BS #2...hard to believe the little tike will be here in no more than 7 1/2 weeks...time is flying! Hopefully SPRING will get here fast too so we can start enjoying the outside weather!
