Busy-ness

Amy — Mon, 17 May 2010 21:28:08 +0000

To say we’ve been a bit busy these last couple of weeks would be a crazy understatement! But, it’s all been good. I’m also giving the blog a mini-makeover, so please excuse the dust while I get it updated.

Today, Tony officially started his new job as a Trainer at Lifetime Fitness. If you know of anyone that’s looking for an awesome trainer, who takes his job VERY seriously, my man, is your man. We’re SO proud of him! I can’t wait to see him do well, which I’m confident he will.

We also went out of town to Dubuque, Iowa this past weekend for my cousin’s wedding. It was GORGEOUS and such a blast. I was honored enough to be asked to sing a few of the songs during the mass as well!

While we were in Dyersville, Iowa for the ceremony, we visited the Field of Dreams Movie Site! Surprisingly, I left my camera home for the weekend, so all I had was my camera phone. So, here are a few weak shots from that. You get the “picture” though. It was really neat to see it in person! And for just $5.4 million it could be yours! LOL

Yes, Kevin Costner’s tushie sat on this bench.

Slacking 101

Amy — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 21:32:25 +0000

Yeah, that's me. I'm a total slacker. I've been INSANELY busy, but still, not really a good excuse. Nonetheless, I'm going to try to post some recent pics at least!

Here's Easter 2010! The Easter bunny was very good to our house.

We headed up to Scott & Amy's to see their new house in St. Cloud. It's SO nice to have them only about 90 mins away now. I can't wait to get up there more often to hang out with them and to go golfing with them.

The weather was SO gorgeous and for once, we dind't have to cover up our nice Easter clothes with parkas!

Here's B and Grandma

I LOVE this photo, these 2 little dogs are part of the brood of creatures from the Lee household. Aren't they cute? Bailey didn't seem to think so. She is DEATHLY afraid of small dogs, which is hilarious considering she lived with a Doberman the first year of her life!

Brotherly love. He's the *best* big bro in the world. Seriously.

Love this smile. Not lovin the hair...

We got a good family pic courtesy of Tony's cousin!

With the grandparents...so much for the well behaved boy!

Hope you all had a blessed Easter!

So Thankful! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We are so...

So Thankful!

Amy — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:44:54 +0000

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We are so lucky to have such awesome family and friends to spend the holiday with. It was fun having another "first holiday" for Bailey too, we're running out of them all too quickly. This year we spent with my Dad and step-mom and my sister hosted at her new, first house! She did a fabulous job and the food was all so yummy!

We attempted to get a couple of family photos with my tripod set up and I managed to quickly teach my dad how to use my camera, he did great! Now, these are not the smiley, perfect family portrait that I had hoped for, but oh well, you take what you can get, right? They make me smile and really show our family's personality

It was an exciting day for B, we managed to get a bow to stay in her hair! Woooo!

I ♥ Faces — The boys’s turn!

Amy — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 15:19:00 +0000

The theme this week over at I ♥ Faces is Let's hear it for the boys! This is SO perfect for this week since it's Father's day today. I knew exactly which picture I was going to use as soon as I saw the theme. I just LOVE this photo of Tony and Tyson. We are SO blessed to have this man as a Daddy in our house. For those of you that don't know, he is a stay at home dad (I don't know how he does it) and he is one of the best daddies out there. While he's wrapped around Miss Bailey's little finger, he and his best buddy Tyson have one of the greatest Father/Son bonds there can be.

Thank you Tony, for all that you do for us!

With Father’s Day just around the corner this weekend, I thought it rather fitting that this layout was in the ScrapGirls newsletter on Monday. I’m so lucky to have this man as my husband.

Our Little Angel

Amy — Wed, 27 May 2009 02:57:00 +0000

We had a CRAZY busy weekend this past weekend. Saturday we had Bailey's baptism. We had it at the same church where Amy and Scott had been married 2 weeks prior, also where Tony and I were married, and where Tyson was baptized too. So, this church has a LOT of history in Tony's family and we were really happy that we were able to have Bailey baptized there as well.

My mom was kind enough to get her her gorgeous baptism dress. I know it's not the most traditional kind, but if you know me, you'll see it's more my style. It was just gorgeous on her and I hope we can find another occasion for her to wear it again.

Here are some photos from the baptism of course!
Uncle Scott and Auntie Carissa were her Godparents

I love this stained glass window at the church

The little princess in her dress

The baptism was held after the 4:30 mass on Saturday night, it was nice to have it be just our family

Time to celebrate!

How the big bro parties

You may have seen some of these on Facebook already, but they're too cute not to post again.

We finally got some shoes to stay on her feet! LOL

Who are you looking at?

Here's a pretty good shot of her adorable dress

Thanks for looking!

Pump It Up!

Amy — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:18:00 +0000

I'm SO late in getting these posted, his party was last Saturday at Pump It Up. If you've never heard of Pump It Up, it's a place that has indoor inflatable things. We started in one room that had 3 different ones, then after 45 minutes or so and then we moved into a second room that had more stuff. After about 45 minutes in there, we moved into a party room where we all had pizza and cake and Ty opened his gifts. This was the first year we did a kid party and he had SO much fun with all of his buddies from preschool and ECFE! Pump It Up did a great job with the party and took great care of us and all the kids!

The crazed birthday boy, I don't think any of the kids ever stopped running.

My friend Jody holding Bailey.

The kids had a blast with my sister, she went in all the things with them!

Can I tell you how hard it was to take decent pics of the kids? They are all action shots it seems! LOL

Gee, you think he's having fun?

Tony and my sister taking a quick break from chasing munchkins.

Time to eat!

Patiently waiting for pizz

His loot

Hot Wheels cake!

This pic of him cracks me up! He was SO proud sitting up there and has his hands all folded waiting patiently to begin opening gifts. Why can't he be this sweet at home?

They all sat so intently watching him open his gifts.

He hugged all his buddies, it was so cute!

I love this one of him and his friend Elizabeth too.

I still can't believe my baby is 4 years old!!

Easter 2009

Amy — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:22:00 +0000

For once the weater on Easter was actually spring-like! It was about 55 degrees so we were able to get outside for a little egg hunt. We spent the day at Tony's parents' house with a bunch of family and had a really nice day with everyone. It was Bailey's first Easter too, so it was fun to get her dressed up in the first of many Easter dresses!

The Easter bunny hid Ty's basket in the front closet this year, this was his face when he discovered it:

Checking out the goods!

Counting chocolate eggs

And we actually got a decent family pic!

Bailey Marie Lemaniak is Here!

Amy — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:39:00 +0000

Tonight will mark one week since I went in to labor and had our little girl. I feel bad that I haven't had a chance to post ANYTHING on here yet about it, but I'm sure you all understand.

Our sweet Bailey Marie arrive very early Saturday morning at 3:15 am. She weighed 7 lbs and 1 oz and was 19 1/4" long. We are all getting settled in at home and I'm going to be writing up my birth story here shortly. But first, here are some photos from her arrival that I wanted to share.

The 3 of us after delivery.

Our sweet girl!

She looks pretty much exactly like her big brother, just a more petite version!

Cute little baby feet

One VERY proud big brother

More to come soon (I hope!)
