A little more..

More pics as promised! So I guess to go along with Kari's post, my favorite place to be is Jus & Erica's place to visit this little guy!! (and Jordyn too of course!!)

New Addition to the Fam!

Hi guys, have to make this quick because I'm at work.
I just wanted to introduce our newest little addition, William Anderson Siebenaler. He was born at 2:28pm yesterday (Feb 4th) at Fairview Ridges in Burnsville, weighing in at 7lbs 3oz, 20inches long. Mom and baby (and Dad too) are doing great and of course big sister Jordyn can't wait to meet her "new baby brother or sister" hehe, she's still a little confused!

I'll post a few more pics when I get home!

It's been awhile

So I decided to try to get the ball rolling again on the blog. It seems that we all get excited at the beginning and it seems to fizzle out. I propose that we start a contest so we keep visiting, and keep up on the family. Maybe a thought for the month of February we could do a photo contest, considering there are so many photographers in the family! How about some suggestions for the theme? Were all ears! Maybe we can start with an easy one! A photo of one of your favorite places to go!

It's so hard as I have so many! But here goes,

I suppose that I could have chosen another city or state considering there are so many, but I choose my backyard. I believe that you truly don't appreciate what you have until it's gone. Being that it is so frigid in Minnesota we forget how neat it is to have our back yard in the summer and I can't wait for summer to come. Hope this help with the ideas. Keep them coming!

Over and Out!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a good Halloween! Brecken and Autumn sure did. Brecken was a spider and Autumn was the Cheerless Cheerleader. We are all doing good just busy busy. Crist and I are both taking full loads next semester and looking forward to Christmas break before spring semester begins.
Brecken is already nine months and is walking already! He is going to keep us busy now that he gets around so well. I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving from our family and hope to see you all soon. -Liz

Family Get Together Part 3

I just figured I'd post the blog tonight while I have access to a computer. We ARE having the family get together tomorrow. Now don't forget it is Saturday night at 5 p.m. at Muddy Waters downstairs. It will be outside so don't forget to dress in layers. There will be heaters so who knows it might get really warm. I can't wait to see you all there!!

Just to Say Hi!

Just wanted to post a little update. It's been a whirlwind lately with Eva starting Kindergarten this year. It seems that it doesn't take long for them to grow up once they start school. It was easy for Eva but hard for mom to let go. She is loving school and that Autumn and her get to play a recess. She now tells me that I don't have to wait for her to get off the bus at the end of the driveway. I'm feeling so not needed lately.


Ellie however does not seem to be taking the change very well. I thought it was just teeth coming in but I think that we have a little separation anxiety going on in her household, and yes I mean Ellie. She and Eva are so close lately that she is having a hard time finding out what to do with her spare time now that Eva is at school. Mom is loving spending the extra time with her. These are some photos of our trip to Colorado this summer to visit Jenna and Matt. Hope everyone is well and can't wait to see you at Muddy Waters. Keep the photos coming I love to see the kids grow. There are so many to keep up with lately! Take Care!

Get together UPDATE

Hello again everyone
Okay so I just sent out invitations to every one. There were a few people whose addresses I didn't have so I just sent them to the parents house, so please pass them along. It will be on Saturday, October 13th same place as last year. Except this year it will be outside downstairs. So let's hope the weather is nice to us. We can't do it upstairs because they are remodeling to use it for dining purposes. There will be heaters outside. It will start at 5 p.m. and will be $12/person, kids under the age of 5 are free, and kids over that are $5. I need everyone to RSVP by October 1st and the money by October 5th. There are more details in the invite so I just summed it up here on the website. Also, if the weather is really crappy it will be cancelled since it's outside. Just check the website the day of the 13th and I'll be leaving a message as to whether or not we are having it. I realy hope to see you all there!!!

Hi Family!

We just got back from MO visiting my parents it was a lot of fun! This was the first trip to see their new place in Pottersville. They love the quiet there and are loving having horses. Autumn sure had fun riding and playing in the most beautiful river in the Ozarks.

Just a quick update for fall, our house is all about school these days. Crist is back to school at Inver Hills continuing his journey to become a police officer. I started school this fall for photography, I caught the bug! I am so excited it is so different from anything I have ever done. Autumn is back at St. John's and really enjoying having Eva at school with her all day, they love to play at recess. Brecken is getting so big. He is pretty tall and getting so close to crawling. He is enjoying hanging out with mom's friend Angie on the days I have school.

I am so excited to see that Mandy is planing a get together for all of us for the holidays, it was so fun last year. Hope everyone is doing well.

2nd Annual Get Together Before the Holidays

Hey Gang!

So here is just a quick update. I am going to be putting on the same thing I did last year at Muddy Waters. It is going to be for October 13th which is a Saturday. I have not yet sent out any invitations. I am still talking to the owners about the menu and pricing. But please mark October 13th on your calendars. I'll keep you informed and I hope to be sending out the invitations shortly!

Anna camps the Superior Shore

Hey Gang,
I thought I'd share some pictures from my camping trip this last weekend. Camping is one of my favorite things but this was my first trip of the season. It is so beautiful up there and just makes me feel free. I went with my old roommate Heidi. We hiked the Temperance River, which is about 8 miles round trip and contains some of the best views in Minnesota. It was a great thing to do after a stressful first week of classes and clinic at the University. I hope that we all find time to enjoy whatever it is we enjoy and experience God in it.
Love,
Anna

Hi all,
Here's the latest photos. We were just enjoying the last days of Summer vacation to get these babies. It was so good to see the family at Ryan and Cheryl's big day but, as always, time ran too short.
We're all back in school and staying healthy so far. Ben started First grade, Alli is up for another round of Pre-K, and Ryan is at a new daycare in Red Wing.
We're also finishing up some fun landscape projects in the yard. Hopefully all the new plantings will be well nestled down for Winter. Here's wishing you a Happy Fall y'all!
