Duke Is Heading to the FINAL FOUR!!!!

DUKE's on its way to the FINAL FOUR! So amazing! Have a great week everyone!

Dray says, "GO DUKE"

Spring Fever Is Here!!!!

Oh, the kids love being outside now! Andray is such a good BIG BROTHER to Roslyn, he loves hugging and kissing her, it's pretty cute. We are loving the change of weather and excited for Spring to get here! A great week for Husky Athletics! Men's Basketball is now in the NCAA Final Four and Men's Hockey starts NCAA action on Friday in St. Paul. Doesn't get any better than that! Love, the Stang's

Roz could stare at her brother all day, it's pretty funny.

Pretty in Pink!

Andray found Jake's sun glasses last night and was wearing them around the house. So Jake found Andray's little glasses and put those on, that was quite the sight!

Oh, and as most of you know, Roslyn loves BEER CANS! It's pretty funny. Couldn't resist taking this photo. Our sweet lil' angel may end up giving us gray hairs after all, ha!

Roslyn Ann Is 10 Months Old!!!

Hard to believe our baby girl was 10 months old yesterday...time just keeps flying by! Roz is doing well, just can't fight the cold/runny nose/dirty diapers, but we're getting there. Still no teeth, I swear yesterday I could see white popping through, so hopefully that happens soon! Have a great rest of your week everyone! Love, the Stang's

The weather is finally getting nice, so Jake and I took the kids for a walk last night after supper. The hat Roz has on is the hat that I wore when I was little. Pretty special she can wear it now. Jake thinks it's pretty special that Roslyn likes to play with my pills bottles too, she thinks it's a rattle, too funny!

She still has the brightest blue eyes...hope those stay forever!

She loves her pink bear!

Go Minnesota Twins! We're all pretty pumped Joe Mauer signed his "big contract" with the Twins! How can a person even fathom $180 + million? Andray loves to say, "Joe Mauer" now, pretty awesome!

Peek!

Can you tell Roslyn is teething? Her fingers are constantly in her mouth. Poor kid....have a great weekend!

DUKE Is Heading to the Sweet 16...Awesome!!!!

Oh, what a great weekend of bball to watch! Duke is heading to the Sweet 16...super exciting! Roslyn truly enjoyed her first March Madness, although she's still under the weather. Andray loved watching the "Big Gym" on T.V. too all weekend, pretty cute stuff! GO DUKE!

Roz was decked out in her cheerleading outfit on Sunday night, gotta love it! She truly is Duke's newest #1 fan!

Uncle Ice and Andray "talking shop" on who's actually going to win the NCAA Tournament. So sweet.

The kids had a blast with Papa Larry and Grandma Carol this weekend. Mom and Dad gave Andray a big dump truck for the sand box. Dray loved the shovel and rake that came with it, too funny!

Papa Larry helping Dray open his gift, too cute.

Andray was super pumped about the truck. Now the weather just needs to "stay" nice so we can get outside!

"Beep...beep" as Andray says.

Thank The Lord For March Madness

Jake and I are super pumped that Duke won their first game of the NCAA Tournament! So excited that the kids and I bought Jake and Duke snuggie to enjoy the rest of the tournament with! Gotta love it....March Madness truly is the best time of year! Just wish the kids would get healthy now! GO DUKE!

DUKE IS #1!

Happy Belated St. Patty's Day!!!!

Happy Belated St. Patrick's Day everyone...hope it was fun and safe! Have a great weekend too! The kids are still under the weather...no fun! Pray they get healthy soon!

Andray got a new set of golf clubs from Gma and Papa Stang for his birthday. Roz loves them too! Oh, it'd be awesome if they both learned to golf!

Andray is very interested in the "potty" now. So I broke down and found this awesome baseball potty chair. When he pulls the lever down it actually makes the sound of a crowd cheering! It's awesome, so maybe we'll be starting the whole "potty training" stage soon!

Roslyn loves her Duke Blue Devils...go Duke!

Andray loves his new golf clubs from Gma and Papa Stang, thanks so much! "Ready...Set...Go (or Swing)!" A natural "lefty" anyone? I know Uncle Aaron and Auntie Rachel would appreciate that!

A Great 2nd B-day for Andray...Plus DUKE WINS the ACC Tourney!!!!

Well, after both kids finally started feeling better Saturday night, we decided to still have Jake's family over for lunch/supper on Sunday. And I'm so glad we did. Andray loved seeing his Gpa/Gma, cousins and Aunties/Uncles again. Hard to believe Andray is 2 already, and also hard to believe how much our family has changed in just one year. Enjoy the photos and have a great week! Go Duke...#1 ranking, hopefully they can handle the pressure! We love March Madness! Love, the Stang's

Andray a year ago on his 1st B-day party...I was 7 1/2 months pregnant with Roslyn at the time. Crazy stuff.

Dray's cake...he loved the dump truck on it....super cool!

The Stang Cousins (L to R): Skyler, Ella, Mya, Andray, Roslyn and Neely.

Andray was pretty pumped to eat cake and finally get his truck off his cake! ha!

Cheese!

Andray had so much fun playing outside with Papa Steve and his Godmom Sarah...tons of fun!

Andray was beyond excited to open his new "golf club set" from Gma Sandy and Papa Steve! He even "kissed his club" in both photos, can't make it up! Thanks so much Gma and Papa for the awesome gift!

Hopefully Andray doesn't hit his sister too much this summer with his back swing.

Ella is an awesome big cousin and loves holding the babies, so sweet!

My newest favorite photo of Roslyn with a grandparent...precious.

Andray could've gone down the slide all day if we would've let him!

Andray posing for a photo for big cousin Skyler! Hilarious head band too by the way that Dray wore, have no idea where that came from, too funny!

Skyler lost her two front teeth now....now she can officially sing the xmas song..."All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!" ha!

Happy 2nd Birthday Andray Paul!!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our wonderful son Andray Paul! We love you Little Man!

Andray opening his gift this morning from "auntie" Heather and "uncle" Adam! Thanks Kay's for the awesome summer clothes for Andray, he loves the "blue & red" shorts!

Roz didn't want to miss out on the action. Although I think she was more interested in the balloons than Dray's gift, ha!

We now know that Roz loves balloons, so exciting!

Jake's school was 2-hours late this morning due to the fog, so he got to be home with us when Andray woke up! Dray was so excited about all the balloons everywhere! And Jake got quite the "work out" in throwing the balloons up in the air. It was hillarious to watch!

ANDRAY'S 2-YEAR PHOTO SHOOT

I brought Andray to JCPenny yesterday to have his 2-year photos taken. For the majority of the time, he was a "deer stuck in the head lights" (no smiles)...but at least the photographer caught a couple smiles! He's sooooooooooooooooo HANDSOME!

One of my all-time favorites...a very special bear for a very special little boy...we miss you GRANDPA SHORTY! Think of you every day!

Can you say "high school graduation" photos? ha!

Seriously....Little Man or BIG Man? He's growing up way too fast!

And those adorable cheeks and eye lashes...love you Buddy!

Sibling Love...

Andray is such a great "big brother!" He loves to kiss Roz and put his head close to her's. Only he got a little "too" close this time...OUCH! Have a great week everyone, hard to believe our baby boy will be 2 years old tomorrow. Love, the Stang's

A Great Weekend Home with the Kids!!!!

Oh, this weekend was so much fun! No hockey to be at and working from home updating softball, so I actually got to be a MOM! Andray and Roslyn really do have fun playing together and Andray loves to kiss Roz...it's pretty sweet. Hope you all are well. Jake got laryngitis last week and now has pink eye. Just praying our household gets healthy soon! Love, the Stang's

Friday night Rachel and John graciously had us all over for a "fish fry." Roslyn and Neely were both pretty tired, so Auntie/Godmom Rhonda rocked Roz to sleep while Auntie Sarah rocked Neely Pooh to sleep...it was pretty cute watching those aunties "rock" synchronized!

The weather has finally been nice! Sunday was so great. Andray and I got to play outside on the driveway for a while after church. He loves his army coat and hat! Cried when we had to come in for lunch. He's just getting way too big!

The kids are so much fun...hard to imagine life without them.

Roz is doing better with tummy time, just in no hurry to bend her knees and actually start crawling!

DUKE had an awesome 82-50 victory over UNC on Saturday night! I had the kids all dressed up in their Duke apparel Saturday. Must have been good luck. Was the first time in five years that Duke had beaten UNC in Cameron (sports info for ya!).

Roz cheering for Duke, way too excited!

Dray would look at bball on the TV occasionally, but mainly stuck to playing with his tool bench. He loves his hammer and nails! What a boy!
