More Easter Fun!!


It truly was an incredible Easter Sunday for our family. Love Jake and the kids so much!

I was busy Sunday morning in the kitchen and looked over at the table to find just these wrappers on the table and no chocolate bunny to be found anywhere. I called for Roslyn and here's what I found...(keep in mind it's 8:00 in the morning!)

Roz comes walking out of our bedroom, already having eaten the head off the chocolate bunny! Too funny. She unwrapped it all by herself...I was so proud ;)

Roslyn was beyond excited to see "EGGS" leading from her room to the living room Sunday morning.

The Easter Bunny even brought money for the kids. They both love to put money in their piggy banks...saving for their future "Duke Education!"

Roslyn close up!

The kids love to put on their bunny masks and run around the house.

Andray, close up!

Three generations of Lingl's...love my Gram so much!

Roslyn hugging "Nima" Carol...precious.

Our "traditional" banana splits with the Lingl family BEFORE lunch..gotta love it!

The kids enjoyed their Easter Egg hunt in Willmar. The weather was just perfect on Sunday!

The two boys hanging out. Happy Birthday to my Godson Jett....he turned 8 yesterday! Time just flies!

My girls...Kristen is due in 6 weeks, can barely tell she's pregnant! So excited for her!

So Proud of My Hubby...aka "Beyonce"


Well, Jake continues to be an incredible hubby and father, especially with potty training Andray (and trying on Andray's Elmo underwear for fun, ha!). However, a little over a week now Jake dressed up as Beyonce for his Dassel-Cokato Faculty Follies fundraiser, and he was a hit! If you haven't seen Jake dance before, you can check out the "LIVE" version right here! Enjoy!

Hope You All Had a Blessed Easter


Happy Easter to all of you, I had a wonderful Easter Sunday with Jake and the kids!

The kids were beyond excited that the Easter Bunny came to visit!

Heading off to Easter Sunday mass!

Sibling love...

Interesting how the Easter Bunny knew that Roz would need Dora bandaids for this summer...she's a dare devil!

Happy Early Easter!!!!


Happy "early" Easter to everyone. Sending God's blessings your way during Holy Week!

Mom and Dad with their four grandchildren, pretty awesome.

Baby Amelia's first Easter...very special.

Can you tell that these photos were taken after Psalm Sunday mass? Pretty sure Andray had to go potty and I forgot to let him go before the photo shoot, ha!

Isa was so pumped to get her Easter basket from Papa and Grandma!

Dad loves to kiss his grandchildren.

Roslyn loved looking at the "puppies" (Henry and Heidi) out on the deck. Spending QT with her Godfather Aaron.

Needless to say, the kids were pretty jacked up to get fruit snacks in their Easter baskets!


Roslyn happily sharing her Dora fruit snacks with Papa Larry...precious.

Will Winter Ever End?...I Want Spring!


"Da Kimbe?" That's what my brother Adam would've said with snow on the ground on April 20th! It's "Frank Language" for ... "Are you kidding me?"

This morning Andray looked out the window and asked, "Where'd the green grass go?" I know son, I just shook my head.

The trees truly are beautiful this morning. Just wish it wasn't this beautiful with snow in April! Come on Spring....

...better yet, bring on SUMMER!

More Fun in Rochester


Ah, I love all my nieces and nephew so much! Was a blast in Rochester this weekend. Love that I got to hold Amelia and feed her bottles...what a great baby fix!

Two peas in a pod!

Miss the bottle stage so much!

Papa Larry loves to kiss his grandchildren!

The kids had so much fun looking out the back window of Aaron and Megan's house. They watched helicopters land on top of the hospital and watched the neighbor's animals in their back yard.

Mom was in heaven with all four of her grandchildren under one roof!

Miss Amelia Mae...Our Newest Godchild!


Ah, had a blast in Rochester this weekend finally getting to spend some "QT" with my newest niece, Miss Amelia Mae. Aaron and Megan so graciously asked Jake and I to be Godparents over Amelia. Very honored!

Amelia loves to play "peek-a-boo"...I just can't get enough of her smiles!

My first official Goddaughter...what an honor! So excited!

Love this photo. I could kiss Amelia all day...and love Roslyn's response in the background. She gets so jealous if I hold another baby, especially kiss the baby! Too funny!
