Shoveling Buddies

Dang! It's about time we shoveled the 33 inches of snow off the deck! We waited until we had help...Danny, Jason & Dave spent some time bonding and shoveling after opening xmas gifts.

Christmas Day Games

Here they are playing the new "Amazing Race" Wii game. Even Junie thought it was fun to watch.

Christmas Presents

Here are the kids with their loot from Santa. He brought small presents this year. But Joey got everything he wanted (except for the $100+ Legos sets). And Junie loved all her presents too. She loves anything she can get into her mouth, so she was easy to buy for. And she's sitting up now too! My kids are getting so big...

1st Food

June's first Thanksgiving and she got to taste some real food! We gave her a taste of yummy applesauce. She liked it! And knew how to eat it right away. What a smart little girl.

First Snow of the Season

*It took longer to shovel off the deck than it did to shovel the driveway!*

*Our snowman is angry because he is ugly*

*Joey & June in the front yard*

The first snow was a BIG ONE! We had about a foot of snow on the deck and it was the really heavy, wet stuff...a pain, literally, to shovel! But we had fun making our snowman and Joe just loves shoveling!

Playing

June has a new exersaucer to play with (thanks to a friend at work) and she just loves it. She's started to really grab onto things and loves to chew on everything. She's a very smiley, happy girl!

Sunny Day

It was a beautiful, warm day in November. We spent most of the day outside. It was lots of fun!

Cutie pie

June is so happy playing with her little giraffe. She loves to hold him and chew on his fluffiness.

Halloween

We had a great time trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood. We met lots of our new neighbors and Joe got lots of candy. It was a great night, not too cold (40 degrees). And Joe looked super awesome in his Chef's costume!

Fall Party at School

Here's Joe and his new classmates all dressed up for the Fall Party at school. He started at a new school when we moved. He has a much bigger classroom and now has 20 kids in his Kindergarten class. He loves that he gets to ride the bus!

Our New House

We finally bought a house! We are so excited! We no longer have any free time or money. You can now find us at Home Depot or Menard's every weekend...

New Toy Boxes

Here are the awesome new toy boxes that Grandma & Grandpa S made for the kids. They are so super cute! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa!

Family

Here's a few recent pics of all of us. June is 7 weeks old. Joey is 5 1/2.

Waterfall

*Joey & Grandma T*

We went to Redwood falls and had lunch with Grandma & Grandpa T. And made a stop at Alexander Ramsey Park to see the waterfall.

Gram n Gramps

Grandma & Grandpa S came to visit to meet our baby girl. They even brought lots of fun gifts with them! They made each of the kids a new toy box, they are so cute. I'll have to post pics later. Joey loves playing with Grandpa!

Smiles

June has just started smiling at us! She is so gosh darn cute.

Negotiating

Well, here it is! Our first house...hopefully. We are still in negotiations to finalize all the details, but, we're hoping it's ours within a month. We can't wait to be homeowners!

Kindergarten

Here's Joey heading out the door for his first day of Kindergarten! What a big kid. He was a little nervous, but it all faded away once he got into his classroom. He has 17 kids in his class.

Nature Walk

We've been cooped up in the house too long, so we just had to get out and take a family walk today. We had lots of fun watching butterflies and watching airplanes.

G.G.

June met G.G. (Great-Grandma Shevik) for the first time. Grandma just loves her, of course!

So Happy

Joey just loves holding baby June. He cannot wait to see her in the morning when he wakes up and he misses her when she's napping. He's getting better everyday about being a big brother. It really takes a lot to get used to not being the only kid around!

June Lorraine Sniadak

*June, 10 days old*

We welcomed our new baby girl into the world on August 12, 2010 at 11:59am. June Lorraine Sniadak weighed 8lbs, 6oz, and was 20 1/2 inches long. We are so happy to have a new little baby in our family! We loved the name June, and we got her middle name from my Grandma Thompson. We have had a few sleepless nights, and lots of naps in the past week. Maybe we'll soon get used to it again! Joey loves his new sister and is always so excited to hold her.

Joey Sings to June

Joey sings Happy Birthday to his new sister June!

Dave at Work

Dave spent a humid, hot (90+degrees) day at Target Field shooting video for a client. He said it was lots of fun to be out on the new field. Now maybe we should actually go there for a game!
