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......

three months later.....Birthday party, bball camp, gymnastics, the 4th and babies born.....

Ok let go back about three months....

We celebrated Abby and Ryans birthday party on June 16th. Lots of family and fun!!  Abby has been in love with pandas lately so she wanted a panda cake, Ryan wanted a Transformer cake. My friend Tammy is really good at making cakes so I asked if she could make Abbys. It turned out better then I could have imagined, Abby absolutely loved it. We ended up getting Ryans from the store but he loved his just as much.
I cannot believe Abby is 8 and ryan is 6, they are growing up so fast, maybe a little too fast:(  I love all of the adventures we do as they get older but its sad to see them getting so old!!!

Abby wanted to sign up for basketball camp and gymnastics at the rec department this summer.  She started those the same week. Gymnastics started June 18,was mondays and wednesdays for abut 6 weeks. Basketball started the same week but was Tuesday and Thursdays for 6 weeks. This kept up pretty busy for those six weeks seeing as we had Ryans tball those same weeks also. Its so much fun running around and watching the kids have such a fun time learning new things!!

So we took our lats camping trip to Evergreen for the summer. I promised the kids we could go before the baby was born. So we booked the weekend of June 30th. I knew it was probably going to be hot and I was right. it was about 90 for the entire weekend, but ended up being a blast, of course. My sister and the family went.  I don't know if I could camp at evergreen without them:)  We spent most of the weekend at the pool, kids had ablast playing in the water.  All of the kids did so well again this year. It makes it so much more enjoyable when they will go in the water!!!
It ended up being Ryans birthday the day we got there so he had fun opening his present!!

Next is the 4th of July, which means summer is half over with already!!!
We normally spend this day at my parents house with my sister and her family, of course always a great time.

So my good friend Katie was due with her baby girl ten days before I was due with my baby. She ended up going a bit overdue and having her baby girl on July 22.  Whitney Kate Polakowski.  Sounds like her labor went very fast and pretty smooth overall.  She was 8 lbs 13 ounces and 22 inches long. Congrats Katie, she is precious:)

Well just a short two days later I ended up with a baby girl of my own!!  So exciting. We had no idea what we were having. Both of the kids thought a baby girl but I thought boy almost the entire pregnancy. Don't ever let anyone tell you, mothers feeling is always right;)  haha!!!  

Nevie Bea Krempien was born at 11:45 p.m. July 24, 2012.  Weighing 7 lbs 13 ounces and 20 inches long.  She looked absolutely perfect. It was too late to have Abby and ryan come up  and visit that night so I was very much looking forward to morning so they could come up and meet their little sister. 

They came up the next morning and were both very excited to see the baby was a girl!!! 

Now we are already into August, my how time is flying by!!!  My parents took Rachel and Abby on a girls trip last summer and they told the boys they were take them somewhere special this summer!!  the boys were very much looking forward to their special day.  It was a surprise for them until they got to the place.  They took them to The Maritime Museum. they had an absolute blast there and I'm sure cannot wait for their next special day with Nani and Papa!!
I LOVE these pictures...looks like they all had a blast!!

Ok well....I have lots more to post and yes Im very very behind but dont want to make this one post too long!!!

Those are all the reasons I love 'em....
