Ten year anniversary,new room, Nevie food and six months old

Happy New Year...so here we are in January 2013! Where has the time gone!!!

Abby and Ryan had decided that sharing a room was getting to be a bit much now that they were getting older. So we ended up turning half of our finished basement into Abbys new room. I LOVE it and she really seems to enjoy her own space, I dont blame her one bit!! She is at that age when she needs her own time.

Tim and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary on January 13th...it just happened to be the same day we lost a wonderful man...Grandpa!!  we miss you so much Grandpa:(

These are the very special fabric Happy Hair flowers Shauna made to go in Grandpas casket...there was a flower to represent each of his grandchildren and great grand children. Thank you Shauna so much for doing that!!  So special!!

Nevie also tried food for the first time this month.  her first was of course cereal, the moved onto squash which she loved and green beans. Took her awhile to like pears and sweet peas..we are still in the process of trying new foods, its fun to always see the look on her face when she tries them for the first time. I love this pic of Abby feeding her, Abby has really turned into a little mother to Nevie, very cute to watch.

  

Nevie also got her haircut. It was very much needed, even though she was only 6 months old she had quite the mullet going on in the back.  Thank you to my friend Rachael for doing such a cute job!!

This was the before shot.....

and the much nicer after shot...

  although we did figure out that the haircut makes her look much rounder!!  haha...

Last but not least for the month of january...Nevie turned six months old...can you believe it.. I sure can't!!  Here are a couple pics I took of her...

Just a couple pics from the month that I really love.....

 Cheering on the Packers....Abby and Ryan made a bunch of signs while watching the game!!!

Nevie wearing a Happy Hair ear warmer...Love this!!

 Abby wanting to be her own American Girl!! 

 This could be my all time favorite pic in a very long time...Grandma looks so happy in this pic holding Nevie!!

finishing up 2012...baptism, photo shoots, halloween and christmas

Already to September...man i have been slacking but hope to keep up with this better come the new year...haha we shall see how that works out!!!  Kids had their first day of school.  I cannot believe we have a third grader and now a kindergartner!!  crazy how fast they are growing up.  Had to get a picture of the lunch bags and backpacks all ready from the night before school.

So here we are moving into October. Nevie had her Baptism on October 7, 2012.  She did so awesome and Loved Father Ryan,  we had her baptized at Sacred Heart in Fond du lac. Here a few pics of that day.  Her Godparents are Ryan Busching and Liz Hall, love those two! They are such sweet people and only want the best for everyone!!! and I have to give Shauna a shout out on the cake, love how bright and fun it was!!!

Lets see...I have taken a couple photo shoots with Nevie mostly since Im home with her all day....try to get some of Abby and Ryan on the weekends or in the evenings but the camera doesnt seem to come out as much in the winter..isnt that bad of me!! ill post a few pics from the shoots...

 Abby, Rachel, Shauna and my mom went to the Justin Bieber concert in October. Of all days for me to get sick that was the day. I was soo bummed I couldn't go to Abbys first major concert.  Thanks to Nani and Shauna for making it such a fun time for her.  By the pics it looks like the girls were so excited and having the time of their lives!!  I even think I saw a tear in Abbys eye in one of the videos Shauna sent me that night. Makes me sad I missed it but soo happy those girls had the time of their lives!!

 A couple pics from Halloween, Abby was a rockstar, Ryan a Packer and Nevie a Kitty, yes even Tim dressed up....freaky.....

 Then back to just a few pics I had taken of the kids......

Love how Nevie and Ryan are staring at each other....

 Tim and Abby went to a Packer game in November.  Ryan and Abby had to flip a coin to see who could go with Tim, Abby won.  Ryan was a little bummed but realized it was a fair way to decide.  Abby and Tim had a blast...the weather wasnt too bad which helped a ton.  I told the one that didnt win  that we could do something they wanted to do while the other one was at the game. Ryan chose to go bowling...it was a blast:)

Now we are onto the holiday season....Cant believe its Christmas time already...how the year has flown by, such a fun age for all the kids.  Abby and Ryan loved helping Nevie open her presents in between opening their own:)  Christmas Eve was different this year because we just stayed home, didn't feel like Christmas eve to me so hopefully next year we will have some plans that night:)  Christmas day we open Santa presents, then head to Tims parents and do presents there and then in the afternoon we went to his aunt and uncles in Fremont, its always nice to see that side of the family we usually only see during the holidays.  

Loved how Nani and Nevie were matching here!!  

                  Love this pic....it was a crazy picture and even grandpa got involved, miss you!!!

Putting Santas Magic Key on the door....

Christmas morning..2012

Really....could Abby look any more grown up here...

So as you can see, we had a super fun, crazy, busy year and we even added another member to our family, well two if you count Nate to our extended family. That only means more fun and even crazier times for 2013......
