A Fun Weekend with the Cousins!

Andray and Roslyn got to see all of their Stang cousins this weekend, what a blast! Gotta love the beautiful fall weather in Minnesota!

Rachel brought Easton over on Saturday morning so we could get our "baby fix!" Jake loves his Godson so much!

Jake and his boys!

Mya stayed overnight on Saturday...Andray and Mya had so much fun watching movies and eating popcorn together!

On Sunday afternoon we headed out to Sarah and Eric's so the kids could ride their pony, Tinkerbell. Talk about a great time! Roz was so excited to see Grandma Sandy and Papa Steve too!

Roz loves Grandma Sandy sooooooooooooo much!

Ella is an amazing big cousin. Andray looks up to her a lot!

Even Roz got to check out the horse...she was pretty hesitant though!

The newest cowboy of the Stang household.

Uncle Eric was a great help with all the nieces and Andray. Andray was pretty scared of the horse at first, but he caught on quickly.

Skyler is so grown up! She is truly an amazing BIG COUSIN!

Auntie Sarah was a great help too with the nieces. Here she's helping Neely on Tinkerbell while Mya leads. So precious!

What a beautiful afternoon...love photos like these. Cousins are friends for life!

Our Baby Girl Is 16 Months Old Today!

Hard to believe 16 months ago Roslyn joined our family...what a true joy she's been!

Happy 30th Birthday Ann!

Happy 30th Birthday to one of my very best friends in this entire world! Love you Ann, have a super day with your boys!

Hockey Starting In September....So Sad!

Apparently I'm not the only person sad in my household that hockey starts in September! GO HUSKIES!

Happy 1st Anniversary to Stacy and Grant

Happy 1st Anniversary to Grant and Stacy! Hard to believe their beautiful wedding weekend was already a year ago in California! We miss you both soooooo much!

Grant waiting for his beautiful Bride to walk down the isle a year ago.

The setting where the wedding ceremony took place was breath-taking!

And two shall become ONE!

Jake and I had an amazing trip to California together last year. So glad we could be there for Stacy and Grant's BIG DAY!

Skiing In September...Gotta Love It!

Roslyn Ann LOVES to try on everyone's shoes, especially Jake's! It's so funny, everytime she gets his shoes on we think she looks like she's skiing! Have a great weekend everyone! Should be some nice "fall" weather. Love, the Stang's

Roslyn is definitely our "curious" child...she's into everything!

My little "Cinderella."

Yes, Andray continues to set up his chairs outside and "lounge." That's our boy!

I found this red hat for Roz at Gymboree the other day! I love it! A perfect spring/summer hat, just hope it fits next year!

Roslyn loves to take time to smell the flowers too...she might have the "green thumb" of the family! (oh, and by the way...GO TWINS!)

Family Bike Rides Are The Best!

Our neighbors so graciously gave us their old Kids Pull Bicycle and helmet for Roz and Andray! It's so much fun to go on family bike rides now and enjoy the beautiful evenings together!

Heading past church and through the cemetery...gotta love paved paths!

Our kids love going for bike rides now!

Jake strapping the kids in for the first time last week.

This will probably be the only summer that the kids can both fit in there together, it's pretty tight quarters right now!

Roslyn Learning Her ABC's!

Andray and Roslyn love singing their ABC's together...enjoy!

Go Twins...We Love Target Field!

On Monday I brought my mom to Target Field for the first time! It was her belated Mother's Day gift. My two cousins, Cassie and Kris, brought Susie and Jeff, and then we all brought Gram as well! It was a day I'll never forget and cherish forever!

Gram with her three kids by the statue of Kirby Puckett! We love you Kirby!

The four Lingl's getting ready to walk through Gate 34! Just wish Grandpa couldn't been there with us too! He would've loved Target Field!

Cassie and Kris and I were so excited to bring our parents and Gram to the game! We had a blast together!

I love my cousins!

We all ate at Hard Rock Cafe before heading to the game, was a good time had by all.

Gram's favorite player was always #14 Kent Hrbek. We were so excited when we found his bar at the field. Gram loved looking at all the photos of Hrbek!

Gram was so excited to touch a photo of Hrbeck, too cute!

Couldn't resist a photo of Gram and Roz in their Twins shirts together!

GO TWINS!

First Day of Daycare in 2010

Well, today summer officially ended with Jake heading back to school and the kids now going to daycare full-time again. Sad day for me, hate dropping the kids off at daycare, but I know they have fun there. Just hated waking them up at 7:30, more than an hour earlier than what they're used to getting up at! Here, Andray was tickling Roz, they sure do love each other!

Andray was excited for his "1st day back to daycare." Roz on the other hand, was pretty tired and wouldn't give up her nuk for the photo, ha!

I love my babies! They're growing up way too fast!

Congrats Heather!

Congrats to my best friend Heather, who completed her 1st triathlon in Florida this past weekend! 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike ride and finishing with a 5K run...all under 2 hours! You're my inspiration Heath...love and miss you!

Thank The Lord for Good Friends

Last weekend I was able to head home for a 30th b-day party for Jolene's husband, Josh. It was so fun to be with the "Madsen Girls"' again! Love them like sisters!

Jay and Jen have four beautiful boys, what an inspiration!
