Home With The Kids...

Oh, it's tough seeing the kids sick. Both were home yesterday with me. Each to different doctor's appointments. Andray's on antibiotics for an ear infection (which he probably got last weekend) and Roz came down with pink eye at daycare yesterday. No fun...but it sure was awesome being home with the kids! Have a great weekend everyone...Jake and I can't wait for winter to be over and summer to be here!

Roz has been a great sport when we put the eye drops in. Her eye looks much better today!

Andray was a great help for me today, we made pancakes together!

Roz loves her high chair...well, maybe just loves to eat, ha!

Andray is a goof ball. He loves to help in the kitchen, which I appreciate! This morning he was helping me unload the dishwasher and he found a "cap!"...aka bowl.

Where'd Andray go?

Seriously love this little boy.

Roslyn's Crazy Hair

Well, I brought our Little Miss Muffet (aka Roslyn Ann) to her 9 month appointment this morning and she's 90th in height and weight (21.6 lbs. / 28 3/4 in.)...the doctor assured me that she's not obese though, so that's good! In all honesty, Roz is healthy and doing great! She was a champ getting her shots and her blood drawn. Just so thankful every day for her and Andray! Love, the Stang's

Roslyn loves her crib. I just couldn't help taking photos of her yesterday on her "9 month b-day"...her hair literally sticks straight up in the air now, it's so sweet!

Have a great weekend everyone...love you all!

Nine Is Fine...Roslyn's 9 Months Old!

Wow, where have the last 9 months gone? Hard to believe Roz is 9 months old already! She's a complete joy. Rolling, blabbing, laughing, giggling, sitting up and most recently standing along the couch next to her BIG BROTHER! Have a great week everyone...we love you! The Stang's

My beautiful baby girl in red and pink...love it!

Jake is such a great dad! The kids love playing with him!

Oh, I love my babies soooooooo much! They are just growing up way too fast!

Roz stands pretty good next to the couch now all by herself. Andray loves to show off in front of her by climbing on to the couch, so funny!

What a BIG GIRL!

Oh, Roslyn loves her Daddy so much! She's definitely "Daddy's Girl."

Can't Wait For Spring To Get Here!!

Well, I made it home to good old Redwood Falls for the first time since before Christmas, and wouldn't you know both kids were sick the entire weekend! Feel so bad for them! Despite their colds, Roslyn has been working diligently on her "form shooting" for bball! Can't make it up! Jake and I are anxious for Spring to get here....feel bad for the kids being sick all the time. Have a great week! Love, the Stang's

Look...a mini Michael Jordan...she sticks her tongue out and everything when she "shoots hoops!"

Here she almost dropped the ball, but used her legs to save her grip! Too funny!

And of course the ball always ended up near her mouth! Can't wait until her teeth pop through!

The Little Things In Life...

Last night was so sweet....while Jake and I were getting supper ready, Andray was so mesmerized by the sun light and the fact that he could walk along the light, and cover it up! Oh, children are just so special. I truly believe that it's the "little things in life" that are the greatest! Have a great weekend everyone, love the Stang's.

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!!!!

Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day weekend! Our weekend was busy, but fun! Have a great week everyone! Love, the Stang's

Andray wasn't too pumped about having to take a photo with his sister, if you can tell!

Roslyn playing peek-a-boo with the hearts.

Andray loves to put chap stick on now...check out his left hand...too funny!

Happy V-Day...Let the Winter Olympics Begin

We are very excited for the Valentine's Day Weekend and the Winter Olympics beginning! Dray truly is our "Future Olympian," ha! Both kids were very excited for their Valentine's Day party today at daycare. Have a great weekend everyone, we love and miss you!

Grandma Carol and Papa Larry mailed this outfit to Roz for Valentine's Day. Way too cute! We love Gpa and Gma presents...thanks mom and dad...it fits her perfect!

Tuesday night Jake and I took the kids to Old Chicago for the SCSU Basketball Coaches' Radio Show. The kids were awesome at the restaurant and Roz totally "crashed" on the way home. She stayed sleeping the entire time that Jake brought her into the house, we put her on the kitchen table, and still got Andray into his PJ's before we had to wake her. Now that's some good sleeping!

Andray is 23 Months Old!

Hard to believe our little guy will be 2 years old next month! The time is flying! He's truly a blessing from heaven!

Winter Fun!!

Oh, we just can't wait for spring time to get here! The kids are growing like weeds. Andray says more and more every day and understands more and more every day! Roz continues to see the chiropractor weekly and is doing great! Sleeping much better at night and rolling over a ton more, which is good! Hope you all survived the big blizzard here in Minnesota earlier this week. Andray did get to go outside on Monday when it was snowing! He said "ouch" when the snow hit his cheeks, too cute. Have a great weekend everyone, Happy V-Day on Sunday! Love, the Stang's

Roz is doing a great job sitting up on her own. Jake and I can't tell if it's the muscular legs she has, or if it's just the "rolls" keeping her upright, ha! Either way, she's perfect!

Andray loves to kiss Roslyn when she's playing on the floor. So precious..."Stearns County" as some people would say, ha! Jake just keeps saying, "keep it in the family, ha!"

Andray has been a great help for me this past year with work! Here he's helping me with my game recap late Friday night! Unbelievable how he knows what a computer is, what's on the screen, and he can read the letters on the keyboard. Will Andray be the next Sports Information Director in the family?

What a BIG BOY!

Andray loved being outside when the snow was coming down on Monday. Seriously, the piles of snow are taller than him! Unreal!

"White Snow" as Andray says.

My baby boy...hard to believe he's going to be 2 years old here in the next few weeks. Time is going by way too fast!

Sibling Love...

Andray is so good to Roslyn and she just loves her big brother!

Roz has been seeing a chiropractor the past few weeks and it's helped tremendously!

Here, Andray is helping Roz with her stretches and back massages....so cute!

Here Roz was getting sick of "tummy time" and Andray just laid next to her, pointed at her and laughed....can't make it up!

Here, Andray laughing because Roz is mad....so funny! Except Roz doesn't think it's funny!

Gotta love weekends for wearing sweats! This red sweat suit was my favorite of Andray's, so I just had to put Roz in it! Our "lil' She-Rocky"

Although DUKE totally forgot to show up against Georgetown on Saturday, Andray stayed "faithful" to the Blue Devils, sporting his Blue Devil sweat shirt. Jake and I are already excited for March Madness!
