Andray's Back At Daycare!

Well, Andray was pretty happy to go to daycare this morning. He started cheering and screaming when I pulled into Angie's driveway this morning, so that made me feel somewhat better! Roslyn will wait one more month before going to daycare...Grandma Carol is going to watch her during the week which will be awesome. Both kids are growing so fast, I had to pack away all of the 0-3 month clothes for Roz and dig out the 3-6 month clothes. She might not be in those very long either...she's growing like a weed! Have a great week everyone, love the Stang's.

Andray loves talking to Roz and pointing at her "eyes."

Roz's last time in her DUKE sleeper...so sad that she's out-grown those outfits!

Roz loves her new clothing apparel, especially this outfit from Goddad Aaron and Auntie Megan...thanks so much! It fits perfect right now!

Andray loves to play Peek-A-Boo, especially in his high chair, so funny! Then he always finishes, saying..."All Done!"

Have A Great Weekend!

Jake thinks Roz looks like the future "Sister Mary Roslyn Stang" in this photo, ha! Every day she has more and more awake time, and she's so fun. She now blows bubbles, cooooos all the time, and smiles. It makes our day. Roz got a Nebraska Huskers jersey from one of my best friends from high school, Emily and her husband Jesse. She has been a nice little sister and borrowed it to Andray for this summer...he loves it! So hilarious...have a super weekend everyone! I begin working weekends now, so that's sad, but at least I don't have to be on the road with vball this weekend, I get to work from home! Love, the Stang's

As our Uncle Jamie would say...."Go Huskers!"

Camping Was A Success!!!!

Well, we had a blast camping! I don't know who had more fun...Andray or Jake, ha! If we had the money, Jake would buy a truck and camper today. He loved it. The kids were awesome. Ate good, slept great in the camper, and played hard! The weather was amazing...what a great way to end the summer of a lifetime...with my family and in the wilderness! Enjoy the photos!

We borrowed a camper from one of Sarah and Eric's friends, and used Brian and Rhonda's truck to pull the camper. We are very thankful for everyone letting us borrow their things! It worked out great!

Ella so graciously is giving her red car to Andray to use now. Those two enjoyed pushing each other up and down the gravel road!

Getting in and out of the car never got old for Andray...he loved it!

The camp site was beautiful. It was very private, clean and again, the weather was perfect! Skyler and Ella are such good bike riders now and Andray loved chasing them around.

We headed to the water park on Saturday. Ros is stretching out her swim suit! So cute!

Andray loved the kiddie pool, and was ready for a nap come 2:30 p.m.!

Andray even took a break from swimming to enjoy some gold fish for a snack!

Skyler and Ella were such great big cousins to Ros the entire trip!

Ella would just talk to Roslyn all the time and Ros would just smile and coooo and laugh at her!

We also went for a walk on Sunday morning to see the horse stables. Andray and the girls loved it! Skyler and Ella biked the whole way there, pretty impressive!

The "three stooges" saddling up!

Andray didn't quite know what to think about touching the pony. Skyler and Ella were pros around the horses though!

Andray and his Godmom Sarah, so special. It was an awesome weekend!

Roslyn Ann Is 3 Months Old!

Hard to believe our baby girl is three months old already! Roslyn is a great baby, eats good, sleeps good and is starting to talk more (okay, cooooo more). It's just hard to imagine what life was like without her. Have a great week everyone, Love - Jake, Celest, Andray and Roslyn

Our blue-eyed baby girl...Roslyn Ann. Below is the pink teddy bear that my Gram gave her when she was born...so special.

Going Camping!

Well, we've had quite a great month in August. Our niece Neely Raychel was baptised, we got to bring the kids out to my Gram's farm site for some more wonderful outdoor photos (above Andray is standing in front of Gram's beautiful rock garden), and this weekend Jake and I are taking the kids (bravely) camping! Very excited to see how the kids do in the (borrowed) camper. Have a super weekend everyone, it's my last weekend off until Christmas, so Jake and I are taking full advantage! Love, the Stang's
The Stang cousins at Neely's baptism...Andray (17 months), Mya (2 years), Roslyn (2 1/2 months), Skyler (6 years), Ella (5 years) and Baby Neely (1 month).

Precious Baby Neely...

Andray out at Gram's farm...it truly is maculate out at the farm.

Andray loved spinning the world globe at Gram's too. He kept calling it, "ball!" Who knows, maybe Andray will turn into a geography gu ru like his father! ha!

Happy 28th Birthday Jake!

Happy 28th Birthday to my amazing husband Jake! Hard to believe he and I are both creeping towards that 30 mark, unreal how fast time flies! I am taking Jake to a Twins game tonight for his b-day, should be a blast. Andray couldn't help but dress up like his dad this morning, he sure does adore his father! Roslyn even sung Jake "Happy Birthday" this morning...enjoy! Have a great weekend everyone. Love, the Stang's

"Happy Birthday Daddy...I love you!" says Baby Roz.

My boys...

That's right Roz...you are our newest little "Tax Deduction"....so funny!

The Summer Of A Lifetime

From the day we had Roslyn and brought her home from the hospital, it was the most amazing summer for our family. An absolute dream to be home every day with my kids and my husband. I'm so sad that I'm back at work, but so thankful for healthy kids and my husband. Jake is such a great dad and husband, I'm just so lucky to have him in my life. Enjoy the "re-run" of our summer, how fast the time flies.

Love, the Stang's

Just minutes after Roslyn was born.

Andray loved Roslyn from the second he met her...brings tears to my eyes.

The Stang family of four...what a joy!



Dray is an amazingly great BIG BROTHER to Ros.

Little Man loves to kiss his sister too!

Roslyn Ann, just two days old.

The joys of taking naps with Little Ros.

The Stang cousins, just missing Neely, who was born 6 weeks after this photo was taken. Andray and all the girls!

The Frank cousins at our "Staycation" this summer in Redwood Falls.

Duke's most loyal "infant fans!"

Ros has no idea how lucky she is to have a big brother like Andray! Hopefully they continue to get along this well, ha!

My boy...

My baby girl...

Now that Andray is walking, he loves to be outside even more than before and is so curious with everything...from bugs to branches to tree leaves to the swing/slide.

Dray loves his t-ball set from his Godfather Jacob...thank you Jake!

Watch out Uncle Aaron and Auntie Rachel, we've got a "lefty" on our hands!

Our cousin Matia brought us to the Holiday Inn where she works so the kids could swim. Andray was in HEAVEN! Thanks Matia!

Even Ros got to wear a swim suit! So cute!

Dray loves the water!

Jake made a beautiful sandbox for the kids this summer. Andray loves to throw the sand "out" of the sandbox though, so we're working on him to "keep" the sand in the box! ha!

You're right Roslyn, "Girls Can Do Anything." This was my t-shirt 28 years ago. So glad I could pass it on to her!
