Wedding fun!

One of my high school friends got married the first weekend in March and it was such a beautiful wedding.  I'm so happy for you Lindsey!  It was such a nice wedding.

 Grandma and Grandpa Stenseth with Shayne and Logan

 Rich and I with the girls

 Shayne busting a move with all the kids - YMCA!

 Shayne and Rich dancing

 Logan not wanting to dance - I think it was a little overwhelming for her.

Yes, Shayne is already flirting with the boys.  Ahhh

Logan's first Birthday at home!

Shayne my GOOF BALL!!!!!

Shayne loves to take pictures of herself.  When I download pictures on my computer from my camera, I usually find additional pictures where Shayne has taken my camera and shot pictures of herself.  What a nut! 

Christmas at Home!

Logan gets up first every morning, so I have about an hour with her before Shayne wakes up.  It cracks me up everyday, because as soon as Logan sees Shayne walk into the room, she gets SO excited!!! She just LOVES her big sister!  Shayne then lays on the floor and lets her baby sister crawl all over her and usually pat/hit her on the tummy.  Everyday routine at the Manzer house.  :) 

As if the girls didn't enough presents when we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house, they still had some from mommy and daddy when we got home.  I think that Shayne could open presents for hours! Logan on the other hand....... Loves the wrapping paper, tissue paper, boxes, etc.  

Can you tell that she's teething?  All four teeth on top are coming through - poor baby!!

Shayne got a few more books from mom and dad... she's really into sounding out words now and trying to read.  We bought her some Scooby books at her school book fair.   She loved them! 

Shayne has a penguin pillow pet and said that little sister needed one also.... so we got her the bumble bee.  Logan wasn't too into the pillow, but Shayne sure enjoyed snuggling on it.  I think it's one of those presents that Shayne wanted, but insisted that little sister needed one also.  Oh well!  I'm sure that this is not the last time that this will happen. 

Happy 1st Birthday LOGAN!!! And 24th Aunt Brittney!

Happy Birthday Logan!  Shayne made a Birthday sign for Aunt Brittney and Logan.  Aunt Brittney turned 24 on the 26th.  Logan turned 1 on the 31st. 

Logan LOVED the birthday cake.  

Christmas Eve and a visit from Santa

Christmas Eve we were at my sister in laws place in Savage, MN.  It was a relaxing day with Rich's side of the family.  Sure wish uncle Matthew could have made it up!  Maybe next year.
Picture above is of Logan with cousin Jess

Logan just LOVES Rowdy!  She crawls over to him whenever he is laying on the ground and starts patting him.  She gets so excited when she see's him.  She also loves going after his bones, which he doesn't like too much! 

Shayne getting all of the Christmas cookies and carrots ready.  Great grandma found some cool, sparkly reindeer food that Shayne could sprinkle on the lawn to attract the reindeer to Grandma and Grandpa Stenseths house.  She got all of the stockings ready and hung everyone's up in the entry way for Santa.

Shayne decorated Grandma and Grandpa's window with window markers for Christmas.  I think we have another artist in the family!  Someone is taking after her father! 

The visit from Santa - Every year Santa visits the girls and brings them a snow globe from him.  The ones this year are my favorite - they don't make noise! Shayne likes to get the last three snow globes that she received from previous Christmas's and play all of the music from each snow globe at once.  No wonder why they are stored in her room for Christmas and are packaged up with everything else until the next year.
These new snow globes look pretty, change colors and are QUIET!  :)  Nice job Santa and Misses Clause

Shayne is into taking pictures of herself with the camera - I will do another posting of the collection of pictures that she took in one sitting of herself.  She's quite the goof ball! 

Daddy and his girls - 

Shayne saying bye to santa

Logan not wanting to give Santa a hug - but instead touch his beard.  She seemed to really take to Santa this year - lets hope that continues for the years to come.  I remember having to bribe Shayne by bringing one of her favorite duckies to hold while they took the picture.  

Cousin Ryan tickling Logan - this baby is crazy ticklish - she laughs and laughs!!! 

Christmas in Wisconsin

I am way behind on blogging!  Time is just flying by these days!  I wish that I had more hours in the day to get everything done.   I have made myself a huge to do list to finish by the end of the week and updating the family blog is one of the items on the list.  I'm thinking now that I should have decided to try and get this done by next Friday instead of this Friday, since I have only crossed off one item on the list..... :) Oh well!


Above is a picture of the girls at Mom and Dad's house in Menomonie, WI.  They had a lot of snow and it was FREEZING there!  The girls had a blast though and Shayne even got out on the snowmobile.  

 Shayne 4, Logan almost 1

Shayne and Logan with Grandma Stenseth

This rocking chair was my Grandma Johnson's and she gave it to me when I was around 5 years old.  Mom and dad wanted to get pictures of the girls in it, but it's so hard to get both of them to smile at the same time.  Not to mention, Shayne gets a little camera crabby after a lot of pictures!  Oh well, at least we got a few of this little peanut in the chair smiling! 

Grandpa Stenseth and Logan

Mom and dad let the girls open up a present early.  Logan got a play activity table that she can stand next to and play on.... she loves it!  Below is Princess Jasmine - she LOVED this costume and wore it I think every day while we were there!
