Roslyn was pretty excited to take her 11 month photos! She's just getting so big. Her second tooth on the bottom is now through and our daycare provider gave Roslyn beef stroganoff last week and Roz loved it! Too funny! Enjoy and have a super week! Love, the Stang's
Go Twins!
Andray didn't quite understand that this photo shoot was just for Roslyn. He kept saying, "My turn." So I let him get in on a few photos. Roz enjoyed his kisses!
"So Big Brother, are you going to teach me how to play catch someday?" asked lil' Roslyn.
Happy 4th Anniversary to Rhonda and Brian! What an amazing four years they've had! Two beautiful baby girls, two different homes...ah, LIFE IS GOOD! Have a great time celebrating! Love, the Stang's
What a perfect day four years ago!
Thanks so much to Godmom Rhonda for buying these amazing outfits for Roslyn. And again thanks to Andrea for buying the awesome hair pieces for Roz, they are adorable! Have a great rest of your week everyone! Roslyn's 2nd tooth on the bottom is almost through, yeah! Love, the Stang's
Love the sassy hair Roz!
Andray is thoroughly enjoying time in the sandbox these days! Our April weather in Minnesota has been amazing! Hope it continues into May and the summer months!
Oh, we had an absolute blast out on the farm on Saturday! Andray got to officially pick "rock" for the very first time on Saturday and he was in HEAVEN! Jake and I wish we had a dollar for every time he said tractor or trailer! It was so much fun! Have a great week everyone....the weather has been amazing and we spend so much time outside now, it's awesome! Love, the Stang's
Andray's first time out in the field...running toward the tractor and trailer.
Andray did walk a few rounds to pick "rock", but he enjoyed sitting on Papa and Auntie Rachel's laps for rides on the tractor. Pretty special photo here with Papa Steve.
Mya enjoyed driving the tractor too, pretty cute!
Our little future farmer...so sweet.
The "boot comparison."....Jake's and Andray's work boots.
Mya was such a great help picking "rock" on Saturday! The rock was seriously bigger than her and she was determined to pick it up and put it in the back of the trailer, too funny. Skyler and Ella helped too!
Saturday morning both kids wanted to lay in our bed. Couldn't resist getting a photo of the kids early Saturday morning just "relaxing."
Our precious baby girl. Roslyn loves being in the grass. Here she broke off the tiniest blade of grass in her hands.
This white bonnet was mine when I was a baby. My mom saved it and I'm so grateful that Roslyn gets to wear it now!
Roz was pretty jacked up to go for a walk if you can't tell!
Future softball player anyone? She loves to play catch, I love it!
SANDBOX TIME!
Jake cleaned out the sandbox on Sunday afternoon for Andray to play in! Pretty cute.
Jake even showed Andray how to fill up one truck with sand and unload the sand into another truck...love it!
After the kids both took 3 hours naps on Sunday (yes, 3 hours!), Andray just had to lay next to Roz in her crib and "take a picture." Pretty sad that my two-year-old now asks to have his picture taken, ha!
After five months of drooling and nasty diapers, Roslyn Ann has finally popped her first tooth through on the bottom. It started to appear on Sunday, the 11th, and it was official through on Wednesday, the 14th. I swear, it's "meant to be," since those are my lucky numbers, #11 and #14! Both kids are doing well and we are really enjoying family time outside after supper time! The weather has been amazing, hope it continues! Have a great rest of your week everyone, Love, the Stang's
It's tough to see, but her tooth really is there, PRAISE THE LORD!
Our beautiful baby girl...10 1/2 months old.
Andray loves pancakes. So after church on Sunday Jake made a big breakfast for us before I had to head to work (yep, working at softball games on a Sunday, just doesn't seem right). Jake made a huge pancake for Andray. He thought it was so funny, and we eventually poked holes in the pancake and played peek-a-boo with it. Too funny!
Where'd Andray go?
Oh, our baby boy needs another hair cut. But his hair is so beautiful! Last night he saw that I had my hair in a "pony", so he wanted one too! Jake was totally against it, but I caved in and put a "pony" in Andray's hair. It was pretty adorable!
Like I said, we love spending time outside after supper now! Andray's getting pretty good at pedaling on his hot wheel. But of course he said, "Mommy's turn," so I was able to get down on the seat and pedal, the getting back up was the tough part and Jake had to help, ha!
Last week my Gram was in Rochester with her sister Mary Ann and Marlys. Mary Ann had some tests done at the Mayo, so Aaron and Megan and Isa Lue got to go visit them at Aunt Marlie's! Super cute photo of Gram and Isa Lu, just had to share! Miss my family tons! Can't believe I haven't seen Aaron and Megan and Isa Lu since Dec. 15th....unreal. Have a great week everyone! Love, the Stang's
Isa Lu with her Great Gram Lingl and Great Aunts Marlie and Mary Ann....so sweet!
We were so grateful to be able to see so many family members and friends over Easter weekend. Roslyn thoroughly enjoyed her FIRST EASTER! Love, the Stang's
The kids were so excited when they woke up Friday morning to a living room full of Easter baskets, presents and candy! Thanks Aaron and Megan for the awesome duck and bunny baskets for the kids!
Andray was so excited to see the Easter Bunny again! And of course, he loved all the Easter eggs in the house. If you look closely, he's holding about 7 in his arm and pointing with another egg in that hand, ha!
Friday morning we headed for Olivia, Minn., to go to mass with my Gram at St. Al's. In the past couple years Olivia has totally refurnished their church and it's absolutely breath-taking! As you all know, Andray loves going to a "BIG CHURCH". We sat in front and he was in complete heaven. We were so happy to go to mass with Gram for Good Friday. Just brought back a lot of memories of Gpa Shorty serving mass there. At communion time a soloist sang "How Beautiful" and let me tell you, the tears just kept rolling. Miss my Gpa so much!
The ceiling in St. Al's above the altar...absolutely beautiful. Andray loved the Angels and the "Clouds in the Sky!"
Jake and I were able to witness the Minnesota Twins first ever game at their new Target Field on Friday night back in good old Redwood Falls. Andray was pretty stoke to watch baseball on TV. We can't wait to go see the new Target Field!
Papa Larry sure does love his grandchildren. Roz enjoyed sitting on Dad's lap and watching the Twins.
We promised Andray at Christmas time that when the snow was all gone, he'd get to ride on Papa and Gma Frank's Gator. It was the first thing he said when we drove up Mom and Dad's driveway! So after supper on Friday night, that's exactly where Andray went, to the Gator! Mom had a ball driving him around the yard, too cute!
On Saturday morning we were able to get a lot of yard work done. Roz loves being outside and feeling the grass in her hands!
Like Papa, Like Grandson...
Our good friends, the Hmielewski's, left their son Matthew's green tractor at my mom and dad's when they moved to Marshall. Andray was beside himself when my dad brought this tractor up from the shed. He never quite figured out the pedals, but Andray loved being pushed in this tractor! Dray is truly "BORN TO BE A FARMER" we think! Papa Steve would just say Andray better start liking RED tractors more, ha!
Andray's Godfather Jacob reading him a bedtime story on Saturday night...so sweet.
Three of the four generations of Lingl's....Great Gram Lingl, Mom and Great Granddaughter Roslyn. So precious.
Gram loves her great grandchildren sooooooooo much! Thanks mom for the awesome Easter dress for Roslyn, can't wait for Roz and Isa to get photos in their matching dresses!
Roz enjoyed playing cards with Papa Larry on Sunday as well.
Great Uncle Dennis and Great Auntie Susie put together an amazing Easter egg hunt for the great grandkids. Andray had a blast looking for eggs, but he just couldn't take his eyes off the "Big Boat" too funny! 
Jett is growing up to be such a great kid...hard to believe my Godson will be 7 years old the end of this month! 
The Stang Cousins (L to R): Roslyn (10 months), Ella (5 years), Andray (2 years), Neely (8 1/2 months), Mya (2 1/2 years) and Skyler (7 years).
Roslyn with her awesome Godmom Rhonda on Easter Sunday, so special.
Auntie Sarah was a great help feeding Roslyn at Great Gpa/Gma Stang's on Sunday, thanks Sarah!
Sibling Love...
Thanks to our cousin Krista...all the great grandkids had a blast looking for Easter eggs on Sunday night in Richmond. Here Skyler and Mya are posing with their eggs.
Father Mark was able to make it back from Texas for the Easter weekend. He's feeling so good, looks great, and we just pray every day that his "clean bill of health" stays! Father Mark is holding baby cousin Neely, while Gma Stang is holding our Roz...so sweet.
Uncle Brian truly is the "Dad of the Year!" Here, all the great grandkids posed by the small tree after the egg hunt was over. Brian got to hold Neely Pooh in the photo, can't make it up! As Brian would say, "it's for the kids!"
Ella loves her baby cousins, it's super cute!
Andray had a ball finding all the eggs in the grass.
Andray completed the amazing Easter weekend playing catch with his great uncle, Father Mark. These are memories that I'll cherish forever.
