And more pics

Aaron and I again
We bush wacked up a mountain (can't spell the name) Hovenburg (I think). I was very happy to reach the top. The View was magnificent!! Above is Briana and our little family below.

My wonderful Father-in-law, Chip and I (He made the daisy chain around my neck)
Us again on top of Mt. Hovenburg

More Pics

Down by the river in Lake Placid. Had lots of fun playing in water and sand.

This was Alayna's "ride" most of vacation :)

My love and me! Love him more than words can say.

Life

Going into the Cave of Winds, on Maid of the Mist and the others are obvious :)














I have been a horrible blogger. FB has been my speed since life is so hectic.
Summer is done and the school year has begun again. Briana is in 4th grade and Logan in 2nd. Wow, can't believe it! I will be teaching music again this year along with being a Pampered Chef Consultant, Pastor's wife, mommy and wife :)
Our summer was a great one! We enjoyed a vacation to Niagara Falls and Lake Placid, NY for 2 wks. Lots of fun and many memories were made.
Aaron still has his own construction and remodeling business on top of being a pastor, chaplain, volunteer fireman, daddy and husband. He's wonderful and keeping it all going.
Danielle is 3 and proving it :) She is a joy and says something everyday that makes me laugh or smile.
Alayna is 14 months and is showing that red heads DO have a temper :) But those moments are few and far between. The beautiful smile and "Mama's" that I get, out weigh the times that I want to pull out my hair.
I'll post some pics of the family and such. No particular order, just random. Enjoy! Love, hugs and prayers to all my friends and family.

Easter 2010

I know it's been forever. Been on FB too much :) Here's our little family now, plus my brother and his 2 kids, Will and Brooklyn.

Will Try to post more later.

Another one of Alayna's Unhappy Faces :(

Logans Birthday

The girls B-days!

Danielle

Just a few pics of Dannie so you can see how she's growing. The last picture where it looks like she has no hair is when she was playing in the water - her hair is so blonde and short that when it gets wet, it disappears :) LOL!

Updates!!

I'm having problem posting my pics, so if the descriptions don't match the pics, sorry!

Danielle is a stinker. She is so much fun and an abosolute blessing!

Aaron's 34th birthday was a quiet day at home with a home cooked meal. We have a family tradition of the Celebrate Plate. We set it at the place setting for the person we are celebrating that day. For example, Aaron's birthday and my mom got if for Mother's Day. It's fun!

We had to bury a lamb that we have been bottle feeding for over 2 months. I cried like a baby when I found him dead in the barn. It's hard (especially for someone who is not a farm girl) when we fed it 4x a day and became "friends".

More updates to come, once I figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Happy Easter

Hi Everyone!









Wow, it's been forever, I know! Nothing really exciting to update. Busy as usual.









My belly is growing and we have only 9 weeks and 6 days to go until D-day :) And I know that it's going to go fast.




The kids will be out of school in 5 weeks and we're all looking forward to Summer vacation.









We're planning a trip to IHC tomorrow and we always enjoy seeing friends and talking, talking, talking :) LOL!!






We had a wonderful Easter. Something strange and neat happened yesterday that we still haven't figured out though. We were going to Sunrise service and as we were getting in the car Aaron and I noticed that there were plastic easter eggs ALL over our yard. We had no idea who put them there. To make a long story short, we told the kids that they would have to wait until after church to "hunt them" and then I asked everyone at church and no one fessed up to being the "easter bunny". Then when we got home from church there were three HUGE easter tubs on the front porch, one for each of the kids filled with of course candy, but also a stuffed animal (very nice ones) and a great big chocolate cross. I mean they were NICE baskets! Then the kids picked up the eggs and they were all filled with candy and money (dimes, nickles and quarters). We thought that maybe our neighbor had left the eggs and baskets so I called and left a message on their answering machine to call us if they did, but haven't received a call yet. So we still don't know who did it. It made a very nice Easter for the kids and they totally enjoyed themselves, but I would really like to know who to thank.

Aaron told me to thank the Lord, which I did, but I still want to know His messenger. I may never know.

Logan got his first "real" suit for Easter and was so proud of his "looks". LOL!




Anywho, that's a small blurb of what's been happening around here.



Love to all,



Lanee'

Name Search

Believe it or not we are having a difficult time coming up with girl names. SO, if you have any suggestions, please send them my way. I need help!!!

It's A Girl!

We found out that we will be blessed with another little pink bundle.
Logan was pretty sad that he won't have a little brother, but Big Sis Briana was happy. (Can't please everyone) I'm happy either way, but I was a little sad for Logan. Aaron's only comment was "Another wedding". LOL! He's so funny!

Logan, when he heard turned to his dad and said, "Well Dad, looks like it will be just you and me fishin now". LOL!! He forgets that his mommy and sisters love to fish just as much as he does.

Life has been full and busy. My CD project is more than halfway done. I'm hoping to have it finished by the end of March. That is if no problems arise. I feel so blessed to be able to have done this recording and pray only that it will be used to glorify my Heavenly Father and bring someone closer to Him.

I'll try to post pictures soon. I've finally concluded that my husband is not going to find the "safe place" where he put my camera and I will have to buy a new one. (All contributions can be sent to me via Postal Mail) :>) LOL!!!


Love to all friends and family!!

Hi Everyone

Yes, it's been forever! But this time I have sort of a good reason for not blogging. I don't like to blog without pictures, and my camera has been lost. (It's a long story, but let's just say I hope my hubby finds his "safe place" soon.) LOL!

Our family has been extremely busy! With school, teaching, church, Pampered Chef, recording for my CD and just life in general there has been no time for any extras.

Everyone is doing great though!
Logan has begun his reading program in school and seems to be doing well. (except for the problem of "ant in his pants" Still working to overcome this one)
Briana was #6 in her class this past quarter and we're very proud of her accompishments. Piano lessons or should I say practicing is still a struggle, but when will that ever end, never I'm guessing. :)
Danielle is talking and growing by leaps and bounds. She is very precious and a Daddy's girl if I've ever seen one. I went to Denver, CO the first of January for a Pampered Chef conference and when I came back it took her almost 20 minutes to come to me. She just laid her head on Aaron's shoulder and wouldn't hardly look at me. I was only gone 4 days! :>) But we're back to being best buddies again, but Daddy is still her favorite I think.
Aaron is still busy with church, work, fire department and whatever else he can fit on his plate. But without a doubt he is the best husband, father and provider we could ask for! We look forward to our date nights when we can be alone and talk without "little interruptions".
As for me, still plugging away at everything. I hope to have my CD done by the end of March, but we'll have to see.

Thank you one and all for being patient with my blogging. I know most of you don't really care when I blog, but some do. :)

Happy Blogging!!
Lanee'

Merry Christmas!

As you can see I haven't blogged in a while and I can't blame it on the slow Internet anymore. LOL! I have been extremely busy and have taken a small break from blogging. I will try to blog after the new year, so until then I wish everyone the most Merriest of Christmas' and pray God's richest blessings on you and your family this coming New Year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! 

JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
