Fun Times at the Farm!

Ah, the kids and Jake had a BLAST out at the farm this weekend! Nothing better than harvesting corn in the fall! Andray told us he got to drive the tractor all by himself, he was pretty proud!
Roz was all decked out in her jean overhalls and jamming to one of her songs on her guitar before leaving for the farm Saturday morning...love it!

Apparently the dryers in the bin were too loud for Andray's ears!

Uncle Brian sharing his "wisdom" about harvesting with Andray...priceless.
Like Father...Like Son
Like Papa...Like Grandson
 Father Mark was out at the farm helping harvest this weekend too...ah the kids love him so much! Gpa Andy was at the farm on Friday and Saturday as well, just bummed the kids didn't get a photo with Great Gpa over the weekend. Pretty special Gpa was able to drive the tractor and help out with harvest again!
Beyond precious...
Fr. Mark is so good with children! What a gift.

The kids had a blast in the corn field.
 One of my new favorite photos!
The corn stalks were towering over the kids!
The kids had a blast with Mya and Neely at the farm as well!

Mark it down in the books...Fall 2012 Harvest Time looks to be yet another rewarding year at the Stang Farm. Lots to be thankful for!

It's Harvest Time!!!!

Jake and Andray are pretty excited to head to the farm this weekend to help with harvesting the corn! Should be pretty special with Gpa Stang and Fr. Mark out at the farm as well!
Roz is stoked too, they both have their "work boots" picked out already for the farm!


Thanks to my mom for giving Roslyn a much needed hair cut (trim). Roz thought she was pretty HOT stuff sitting up on the counter with a dish cloth wrapped around her. She told Jake she got her hair "trim-ded"...too cute.

Ah, I have vivid memories of Mom cutting my hair as a young girl, very special. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! Jake and I have another wedding in the cities on Saturday, can't wait!

Go Huskies!!!!

 Jake and the kids came with me to Halenbeck Hall last night to watch some Husky volleyball while I worked. It was a "RED OUT"  as the Huskies took a set from #2 Minnesota Duluth! Super fun to watch!
 Roz loved wearing her cheerleading outfit! I think she liked the "light show" and dancing to the music during timeouts more than the actual match.
 Blizzard came up and sat by the kids 3 times during the match! Roz even shared her popcorn with him!
It's official...the entire Stang Clan is "Athletic Media Relations" approved! Thanks to Anne, Tom and Terry!
Go Huskies!

Kids Had a BLAST at the Fall Festival!!


Both kids had a blast at the RWF Fall Festival with my parents this past weekend! We donated an entire garbage bag of stuffed animals for the event, and I'm pretty sure the kids came home with MORE stuffed animals than what we donated, ha!
Roslyn truly enjoyed her "inaugural" time at the RWF Fall Festival...I loved going to the festival as a little girl! She really is just like her mama...and she loves OREOS like me too, can you tell? :)
HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Ah, the kids discovered tatoos this week! Talk about the cheapest thrill ever! They are so proud of their CARS tatoos, too fun.  The kids get to head to RWF this weekend for my parent's church Fall Festival. They are pretty pumped!

 Can you tell he's just a "tad" excited? Andray requested to have his photo taken with his tatoos.
 I went shopping last Friday by myself and found some amazing clearance items at Gymboree. Excited for next spring when this outfit will fit Roz! She loved dancing in front of our mirror with her skirt and matching glasses on!
 Roslyn Ann...my little Diva!  Have a super weekend everyone!

God Bless America!!

Remembering all those who fell on 9-11...hard to believe that dreadful day was 11 years ago today.
Thank you to all service men and women who have fought to keep our country safe and who continue today to keep us safe!

God Bless America!

"Goose" Made an Appearance in St. Martin!


This is the best looking "Goose" that I've ever seen from the movie Top Gun! Jake and his Rausch cousins had a blast playing in the St. Martin family softball tourney this past weekend. They had a "Military" theme, and let me tell you, the Rausch team was the best dressed team in St. Martin! So fun!
p.s. - "He's ALL MINE!"

Great Times at the Weber Wedding!

Jake and I had a blast at Shawn and Ashley's wedding last weekend in Morgan! A great time with great friends.
I truly love these Madsen Girls...they all mean so much to me!

Jolene - my true twin.

Jody - one of the greatest people I know!

The sisters I could only dream to have.


I love this guy soooooooooooooo much!

Shawn & Ashley had a photo booth at their reception instead of a guest book. What a great idea!

Congrats to the newly weds...such a great couple!

Andray Loved His 1st Day of Pre-School!!!!


Andray was beyond excited for his 1st day of Pre-School today! Can you tell?
He wanted to show off his CARS back-pack...he's very proud of it.

 And of course his baby sister had to get in a picture too before heading to daycare!

This is the first toy Andray ran to this morning at Pre-School. By the end of the morning kids were sitting in the back of the Firetruck while he drove them around the classroom. Quite the Taxi Service!

His teacher Mrs. Swanson seems like a great person, we are excited for Dray to start school.

I had so much fun with Andray at pre-school this morning that we just had to stop at McDonald's on our way back to Angie's...super fun morning with our Little Man!

Pre-School Open House was a SUCCESS!!


Andray had a great time at his Pre-School open house last night. Roz enjoyed touring the school as well and playing with all the toys in the pre-K room!
 The kids checking out the main doors to Andray's pre-school for the first time. Roslyn kept telling Andray, "Your backpack is sooooooooooo cool Andray!"
Walking down the hallway with Dad for the first time...precious.

We had one "proud" 4-year-old last night!

Found out that Mrs. Swanson will be Andray's teacher this school year...plus he has 5 other boys in his class...very excited about that!  I can't wait to go to school with Andray tomorrow morning, should be a blast!
