First Day of Potty Training for Roslyn...Check!

Well, yesterday marked the first "official" day of potty training for Roslyn and she did pretty darn good! She loves her Princess sticker book and adding to her sticker chart! So proud of her!



Think she's a little excited?

A hard day's work for Roz...she did it!

A Beautiful Weekend for Camping!!

We had an incredible weekend camping at Bunker Hill with Jake's two sisters and their families! Couldn't have asked for better weather! We were so busy though, I only was able to take one photo, but couldn't have asked for a better one with Roslyn and her cousin Neely...only 6 weeks apart...they love each other!

Just a Tad Excited for Camping!

We are heading to Bunker Hill this weekend for some camping and swimming! The kids are just a tad excited, Roz could barely sit still while getting groceries this morning!

Have a great weekend everyone, should be a beautiful one!

A True Treasure...

My parents gave the kids such a precious gift on Sunday! My dad made each of them "hope chests"....or as Andray and Roslyn would say, "treasure chests!" Ah, brings tears to my eyes. The chests are made out of wood from my grandparents farm, and the covers are made out of wood from my Grandpa Frank's farm where my dad grew up. Doesn't get any more special than that!

The kids loved looking into their treasure chests!

I never knew my dad had such great handwriting ;)

Roslyn was putting her Baby Sally in the chest for nap time, she almost fell in trying to get Sally back out! Too funny.

Daddy Daycare Coming To An End...

Sad to say, but Jake's official last day of Daddy Daycare is today. Ah, it'd be so amazing to be home with Jake and the kids in the summer. I may be biased, but I'm convinced that Jake runs the best Daddy Daycare business in the world! Thanks hon for all your hard work this summer, the kids had a blast!

A Great Day At The Office!!

Jake had a doctor's appointment this morning, so the kids got to join me at the office for an hour or so! It was awesome! They both walked into Halenbeck with back packs on, they're growing up way too fast!


Andray working on his alphabet!

Roslyn stacking SCSU's Husky...BLIZZARD.

My co-worker hooked the kids up with a Curious George PBS clip on his computer, they were in Heaven! Thanks Tom!

Happy 12th Bday Ashtin Marie!

Can't believe our flower girl Ashtin Marie (right) turns 12 today! Ah, I remember the day she was born, time keeps on a truckin' by! Love you Ashtin, we miss you!

Turning 30 = Success

Jake had a successful 30th b-day, besides having a bummed shoulder and knee...WELCOME TO THE CLUB is what I told him, ha!

I love Jake and the kids sooooooooooooooo much! Fun times.

Happy 30th To My Amazing Husband!!!

Happy 30th Birthday to my amazing husband and best friend Jake on Sunday! I couldn't have dreamed of a better father for my children. We love you Hon!

Heavenly Sounds

I absolutely LOVE listening to my kids laugh...so contagious and from the soul!

Happy Birthday Great Gpa Stang!

Happy 84th Birthday to Jake's grandpa...Gpa Andy Stang! What an incredible Stang family he's created. This photo is taken at Roslyn's baptism 2 years ago...5 GENERATIONS of Stangs. Gpa Andy's Aunt is holding Roslyn, then Gpa, Jake's dad Steve, Jake, and our kids Andray & Roz...so special! Andray is proud to have Gpa Andy's namesake.

Girls' Weekend A Success!!

I had one incredible weekend with Roslyn Ann...we slept good, ate good, played hard, and enjoyed our time away from Jake and Andray...I love my baby girl so much! Roslyn continues to grow way too fast...she's now going potty on the potty chair...maybe she'll be out of diapers before the fall!

Gram stopped by with my mom on Friday afternoon to pick up Andray. I just love that my kids know who their Great Grandparents are...we are so lucky!

Good Morning Sleeping Beauty...Roz slept until nearly 9 am on Saturday...love it!

Breakfast in bed...even for Baby Sally.


I just absolutely LOVE feet photos...adore Roslyn's curly toes!




On Saturday we headed to the pool with a good friend of mine and her two kids...I had to wake Roslyn from her nap...she was pretty sad, saying "I go to the pool!"

Yes, my baby girl in a bikini! Even I don't wear a bikini very often, ha! ;)


Like Mother...Like Daughter...Roslyn loves to rock her Baby Sally, just like I enjoy rocking Roslyn.

An incredible weekend with my baby girl...she's so grown up in her Sunday Best!
