life rearranged

Our laptop finally died. We knew it was on it's way out, but it had kept going. I guess it's time for a new one...yippee!

Photobucket

I have my everyday make-up that I wear and then I have this "back-up stash" that I keep extras, etc of things. I cleaned it out one evening. It so needed to be done.

Photobucket

I am obsessed with this certain brand of Kettle Corn. So good.

Photobucket

This was the SOLD sign that was on my new car! That was a great day.

Photobucket

She is sitting up all by herself so good and is so proud of herself!

Lately, when we cook meats, we have been cooking a whole box or bag at a time. With Wayne's diet it's just easier that way. THIS lovely cooking machine is very handy and helpful. Love it. And the clean-up is so quick and easy. This is how we grill in MN in the winters...sadly though we haven't had much of a winter.

My new eyeliner..that I love.

I titled this picture "Bebe do werk."

My cousin Beth's new lab puppy, Hunter. He is so adorable!

Me and my Dad took a trip up to Buffalo to check out Gramma's abandoned house. She moved to Arizona in October and it's a rather long story. Maybe one of these days I will actually write out the whole thing. It just makes me angry mostly though to even think about it.

Photobucket

She knows...2 hands on the wheel!

The Horton's new puppy, Mufasa! He is Hailey's size. Note that she just opens her mouth ready for him to kiss her. That's puppy kisses for you right there.

Photobucket

We had a playdate this week. JJ meat Hailey. He wanted to grab at her. She just stared at him. It was love at first sight. Daddy said NO BOYS!

Photobucket

My Husband made me breakfast one morning this week. Eggs, walffles, fruit and milk. It was heavenly.

November 8th: I'm thankful for my in-laws. I am fortunate to have such a great Mother in law and extended family on my Husband's side. Right now Kim watches Hailey for us almost everyday while she is laid off and I am grateful to her for that. Hailey is a lucky little girl to not only have one grandma, but two that love her so much.

November 9th: I'm thankful for my girlfriends. I have a core group that I call my closest. I blog about them sometimes and a few of them have blogs as well. I'm thankful that many of them I have known for most of my life and now that we have grown older, gotten married and are starting families, we have continued our friendships through that. You know who you are! Love you all!

It was Wayne's birthday, but since he had to work all day, we decided it would be OK if Hailey and I rode with my Mom for the day to the annual Stager Family Reunion. I didn't get many pictures of us at the family reunion. It was pretty low key and ended up raining for a portion of the afternoon. Here are a few:

Since Wayne's birthday is the the 6th and his brother, Andy's birthday is August 10th, their Mom, Kim, decided to throw them a surprise party. It was big birthdays for each of them.Wayne turned 30 and Andy turned 25. Again I didn't take a ton of pictures, but here were some highlights.

CUPCAKES!! So good!

Tonight I was celebrating my friend, Laura, on Lake Minnetonka for a dinner cruise for her Bridal Shower. I had never actually been ON Lake Minnetonka, so it was fun to ride around, eat some AMAZING food with some AMAZING company!

Most of the ladies in our party!

Today was family day at the MN State Fair and we were seeing Def Leppard at the Grandstand that night. Stay tuned for a special MN State Fair post.

Saturday, August 27, 2011

The State Fair is always a busy time of the year for the radio stations. It seems like Wayne is always working. He was at the fair from 1p-4p. I decided to take Hailey and my sisters with me for the day. Big Time Rush (BTR) was making an appearance at the KDWB booth that afternoon before their concert at the Grandstand that night. Stay tuned for a special MN State Fair post.

Hailey had her two month Dr appointment with her first round of shots. She weighed in at 10lbs 10oz. What a big girl!

Photobucket

Look at the pretty bandaids!

I took my littlest sister, Kate to the LMFAO/KESHA concert. She LOVES Kesha, but I think we actually had more fun seeing LMFAO! I wasn't impressed with Kesha, but LOVED LMFAO and would definitely see them again.

Look at how much salt is on that pretzel?! Wowza!

Wayne had been to Ridgdale the week before and just happened to walk by Flash Portraits. Well, he found TWO pictures of Hailey's newborn shoot were displayed. I had to see for my own eyes!

Hailey's Hospital Visitors

Hailey's Hospital Visitors
Wednesday, September 14, 2011
Read post
Throughout our 5 day hospital stay, we had some family and friends come visit. The first few days I said no visitors because I was just not up to it.

Of course both our Mom's were there everyday, as well as my sisters. Several family members: our brothers, Andy and Ross, Green Grandma, Great Aunts Sandy and Kristi, Aunt Dianne and cousins Aly & Veronika all came and saw her when she was in the NICU, so we didn't get any pictures of them with her in the hospital.All these pictures with Hailey were taken when she was released from the NICU and finally in our room.

Photobucket

Grandpa Stager was there everyday.

Our friend, John came the day she was born and then again a couple days later with his girlfriend, Jess. 
We call them Uncle John and Auntie Jess. 

Photobucket

Family friends Gwen and Gina Hamilton came to visit. My friend Laura, as well as my friends Kayla and Jeannine. We didn't get any pictures of Hailey with Kayla and Jeannine because they both came when she was in the NICU.

I love all my family and friends for their love and support! Thank you!

Weekend Highlights: April 1 - 3, 2011

Friday, April 1, 2011

- I left work in a good mood;

- I had to make a pit-stop at Walmart to pick up a few groceries/snacks for the weekend;

- I got home and ate dinner with Wayne (which consisted of a bowl of cereal); I've been obsessed with Berry Kix this past week;

- He then left for work for the weekend and I sat on the couch for the remainder of the night and finished season 1 and started season 2 of Brothers & Sisters on Netflix;

Photobucket

    Saturday, April 2, 2011

    - It was Green Grandma's 71st birthday, so we met her sister and brother-in-law (Kristi & Craig) for lunch at Bistro 11; the Horton family also decided to join us; I had the BBQ Chicken pizza, but it was cooked in a brick oven, so it was extra tasty; The food was great, just as was the conversation;

    Photobucket

    - After a lengthy lunch, we stopped by the assisted living place to visit with Barbara; Gramma tries to visit a few times a week, but I hadn't been there in awhile, so she got to see my belly bump for the first time since I've really popped out;

    - We then stopped at Dairy Queen on our way home for a treat; ;)

    - I completed my weekly cleaning in the late afternoon/early evening; It takes me a little longer than usual as I have to take several breaks in between;

    - We watched "Everybody's Fine" that night; It was a little slow, but overall a pretty decent movie with a touching message at the end;
      Photobucket

      Sunday, April 3, 2011

      - We had made plans earlier in the week for the family to meet at Broadway Pizza - Robbinsdale for Gram's birthday;

      - On our way there the two of us stopped at a local consignment shop to look around; I scored a few maternity items; 2 shirts and a pair of jean capri's for $26.00; I couldn't pass it up;

      - We then met up for lunch/cupcakes with everyone; again great food and conversation;

      - We also found out that Wayne's cousin Evan and his wife, Rachel, are expecting their first child this October! This is the four of us at their wedding this past October 2010:

      Photobucket

      We are so excited that Hailey will have a new cousin and someone else to play with at family events. They will only be about 4 months apart, so it will be so fun watching them grow up together!

      Congrats again Rachel & Evan!

      - On our way home we stopped at the same consignment shop, but a different location and I scored on a couple MORE maternity items; a shirt and a dress for $15.00; AGAIN, couldn't pass it up;

      - Wayne and I had plans to watch the WWE Wrestlemania PPV last night; I am not into it as much as Wayne is, but I like to keep up-to-date on what's happening; there were several reasons why I really wanted to watch this particular PPV;

      First off, my girl Snookie from the Jersey Shore was in a match and has been making a celebrity appearance the last few weeks, so it was a must watch for me;
        Photobucket

        She won her match and is declared WWE's Diva of the Day today. LOL!

        - Another reason was that the Legion of Doom was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.

        Photobucket

        I realize you might not know or care why this is so important to Wayne, but he actually knows Animal from Legion of Doom (far right). Click on this LINK to read more about their career if you're interested. In short, they were and still are the best tag team in the history of wrestling. Animal lives in the Twin Cities with his family and Wayne has kept in touch with him over the years.

        At the beginning of 2011, Wayne and his friend Adam started a pro wrestling radio show called Extreme Pro Wrestling Radio. You can listen to all the podcasts on KFAN HERE.  Animal is their "guest host." It was so cool to watch him stand up there on stage with the other HOF inductees. Wayne is so proud to call him his friend.

        (Animal is 3rd from the right)

        It was the PERFECT way to end the crazy weekend...on the couch with my love and pups!

        This is my Christmas post. Better late than never, right? I wanted to wait until after we shared our exciting news about Lil D until doing this post because so much of Christmas this year involved "baby" things. 

        Friday, December 24, 2010

        My MIL, Kim, her boyfriend, Paul and my BIL, Andy came to Green Grandma's house for the day. Here is everyone in the living room post dinner/pre presents. We were all in a food coma from eating so much.

        Photobucket

        BIL, Andy, got a Wii.

        Wayne and I also opened our stockings and we each pulled out these:

        Photobucket

        It was one of the first times thus far where it really hit me, that this is real and happening. I know that there will be many more times like these, but it was a very profound feeling.

        My puppies were also especially snuggly that day:

        I met Wayne at my parents in the afternoon after he got done with work. After we at dinner and opened gifts, we started a heated game of dominoes.

        Photobucket

        There were many laughs and inside jokes made. I was so proud of my Dad. He got these on his own:

        We spent the night and got up that next morning and went to get the baby furniture that I blogged about HERE. Overall it was a wonderful Christmas!!

        Sunday, January 2, 2011

        We got together with Wayne's other part of his family that couldn't make it on Christmas Eve. I made spaghetti, we opened gifts and then hung out and chatted.

        From L to R: Veronika, Aly, Wayne, Green Grandma, Jared

        Photobucket

        This is Wayne having a "talk" with them.

        And this was our silly shot.

        Photobucket

        This is how I usually feel around Christmas...bring on the wine.

        Photobucket

        But this year was different as I can't have any for obvious reasons and although sometimes I really crave a glass of wine and it irritates me, I'm OK with that because I know what I am going through and the things I am giving up do not compare to the moment(s) of being a MOM.
