Happy Halloween Everyone!

Happy Halloween to everyone this weekend! Enjoy the trick-or-treating! Andray is so pumped to be Thomas the Train! Roslyn has two outfits to choose from....a pink Care Bear and Bat Girl!

Roslyn is too dang cute when she runs and her cape flies in the air! This is Jake's favorite outfit.

Happy Birthday to 2 of my Favorite Boys!!

October 28th is a special day for many reasons. My Grandpa Shorty would've turned 88 today, God bless his soul! And one of my ring bearers, (baby in photo), Drew, is 13 today! Welcome to the teens Drewster! Man, am I feeling old today! Love you both, Gpa and Drew!

Happy 2nd Anniversary to John & Rachel!

Happy 2nd Anniversary to Rachel and John! What a great day that was and an incredible family they've already created! Love you all!

Baby Girls Are So Much Fun!!

Jake and I bravely took the kids grocery shopping Saturday morning before I headed to work. I had so much fun getting Roslyn all dressed up for the big occasion! Thanks to Isa for borrowing us her adorable vest and super cute boots for the winter!

Every day Roslyn puts a smile on our faces!

She loves to move chairs around in the basement! She loves her nuk too ;)

Love Fall Days in Minnesota!!

Our neighbors so graciously let our kids jump in their leaf pile earlier this week! Roz new exactly what to do....she dove in head first then turned around perfectly to have her photo taken! Andray loved it too, he was throwing leaves up in the air! A moment I'll never forget!

So glad our kids love each other! (A love-hate relationship, as Jake calls it)

Andray insisted on having his own photo taken in the leaves...I love my lil' guy so much!

The kids love to stand on the step stool in the bathroom together and smile in the mirror. Good times!

I love Andray's smile. He makes every day a great day!

Black Eyed Beauties!!

Well, Roslyn suffered her first shiner on Saturday morning...ran into the side of the coffee table and the coffee table won!

Roz apparently didn't want to be the only female in the house with a black eye, so she smoked me with the corner of a book and made my left eye swell instantly and turn black/blue by the end of the night! Can't make these things up! Perfect for a photo opportunity though, hehehehe.

Roz just chilling Sunday night after a rough weekend.

Gotta love telling people at work that I got a black eye from my 1-year old daughter!

Special Times with the Stang's!

Over a week ago Jake and I and the kids got together with the extended Stang family. It was a great time had by all! Especially Roslyn (Little Sister) and Andray (Big Brother)!

Andray and Father Mark walking up the driveway, priceless.

Sister Perpetua made it back for the afternoon! So great to see her! She hadn't seen Roslyn since Roz was less than 2 weeks old! Here they are singing "Old McDonald had a Farm" together!

Sr. P loves her great nieces and nephews so much!

Andray checking out the cattle with Papa Steve...can you say future farmer?

Ah...How I Miss My Grandpa!

Five years ago this morning my Grandpa left us for Heaven. What an incredible man he was. I think of him every single day and miss him more than words.

Grandma and Grandpa's hands, just the day before he passed away.

October 14th, What an Incredible Day!

Happy 10th Wedding Anniversary to my incredible oldest brother Aaron and my awesome sister-in-law Megan! Thanks for being such great examples for Jake and I! Also, Happy 82nd Birthday to one of my best friends...Gram! We love you more than words!

I got to spend the afternoon with my Gram, Mom and Gram's sister Mary Ann yesterday. The kids loved having them over for supper yesterday!

We made Gram a digital photo album of the Twins Days back in September! She loved it!

Here Gram and Andray are pointing out everyone in the photos. Pretty sweet.

Pumpkin Patch Time!!!!

What an aboslute incredible weekend we had enjoying the beautiful Minnesota fall weather! Saturday morning we brought the kids out to Sleepy Hollow, just south of town. We all enjoyed our first trip to the pumpkin patch!

Andray and Roslyn love being outside. It was a perfect morning to go pick out pumpkins!


I love my kids!

Jake and Roslyn heading out to find a wheel barrel.

Andray was pretty excited to use the wheel barrel and fill it with pumpkins!

Andray of course picked out a pretty large pumpkin! Was a little too heavy for him to lift!

Jake taught Andray how to brush the dirt off the pumpkins.

Andray helping Jake lift the first pumpkin into the wheel barrel, now that's teamwork!

Jake and I let both kids pick out their pumpkins. Of course, Roz found the pumpkin that was starting to rot. She loved pressing on the soft parts, too funny!

Andray was a pro with the pumpkin brush, so here, he was trying to show Roslyn how to brush off her new pumpkin.

Roslyn caught on pretty quick with the brush!

Some good old Father/Son time...I love my boys!

Happy 4 Month B-day to Easton James

Hard to believe our one and only nephew, Easton, is 4 months old today! We love you bud! Isn't he the most adorable little cow ever?

A Good Time With the Rochester Franks!

This past weekend I drove the kids down to Rochester to visit Aaron, Megan, Isa Lu, Heidi and Henry...it was a blast. And quite busy might I add with a 3-year old, 2-year old and 1-year old running around the house with two dogs! Plus, working from their house on top of it! Truly was a blast though, Isa Lu continues to grow right before our very own eyes, she is a blessing to our family!

The 3 Frank Cousins. My mom bought Isa and Roz matching dresses last spring, they are so beautiful!

Hugs in Church Saturday night...can you tell it was a rough mass for the kids? Probably Roslyn's 4th nuk of the evening, ha!
