Fun in the Snow!

Well it finally snowed enough for Autumn and Crist to go out and have some fun in. They have been outside quite a bit these last two weeks. Last night Crist took Autumn and her friend skiing at Welch Village. This was about the 4th time they have gotten down to Welch to ski this year, Autumn is becoming quite the ski bunny!





Update on our newest addition: Brecken is already 5 weeks old and growing very quickly! He weighs just over 11 pounds and seems to get bigger every day.





Crist and I are doing really well, just adjusting to the new baby and not sleeping much. We have been so busy, this last year has just flown by and we just celebrated our 1st anniversary. We had a nice dinner out and the baby slept through it so I got a hot meal! What a good kid!





I hope everyone has a great weekend and I can not wait to see everyone at the Easter/Shower celebration.

Fun in the Snow

Hello all!

Well, here is an update from the Chuck Siebenaler gang... after managing to figure out how to log-in we are ready to roll!

* Amber is now 9 months old and will be getting tubes in her ears on Wednesday... overall all a very happy girl with 4 teeth, huge smile and a lot of mobility (we climb up steps, down is still a challenge)

* Lauren who will be 4 in April is still a very proud big sister... She got to go snowmobiling with grandpa for the first time this weekend (see photo).

* Tami and Jason are both doing well... Tami is now a mini-van driver and has only needed to be pulled out of the driveway 3 times this winter. (However, Dad (IE Chuck) got stuck 3 times in one day with the bobcat.

* Angie and Ron are doing great. Angie is now back working at KPMG in a new role and loving it. Ron had been traveling in Denmark for a couple weeks and business travel will soon include Switzerland for him.

* Robin is loving the daycare Nest... Keeping busy with kids and more kids.

* Jim and Molly (STILL NO RING) both are doing well. Jim is working and going to school, Molly is done with school and on the job hunt (So if you have any leads for Biology & Chemistry Minor... please forward).

* Jaci and Alex are also both in school at MSU. She was named employee of the month at her job, which is at Daycare in Mankato.

* Chuck & Faith are heading to Hawaii for a cruise... Dad is anticipating he will be back to work at the end of the month and he might actually have to perform work at his job this year.

Whew!

Wow! It's nice to see everyone's posts!

Just a quick update from us! After almost 2 months of studying, and driving through snow storms to get to Minneapolis and Golden Valley, Chris took his Series 7 test today. Before he left this morning he asked me, what do you call a medical student who graduates at the bottom of his class? Doctor! He said he just needed a 70% to pass because a 70% puts you in the same spot as a 100%. I think he was trying to fight the nerves.

So fast forward to about 1:30 this afternoon and I get a call from him at work. Not only did he pass the test but he scored a 93%!! The print out from the test showed his score, and it also said that only 66% of people who take the test, nationally, pass. The average score on the test is a 73%. He called his contact, Diane, at Thrivent and she said she has only seen two people score 90% or better. So I don't know about you, but I'm pretty impressed.

Mom and Dad took us out for Chinese (Chris' fav) tonight to celebrate! But the celebrations did last too long because Chris had to get back to studying for his next two test. At least the big one, and supposedly the most difficult one, is over with.

Hello Hello Hello

Hello Siebenaler clan, Mandi here. I've been checking out the website out and it's nice to see what's going on in every one's lives since we aren't all able to get together that often anymore. I figured it was about time that I do my own posting for the fam.

In January, Ryan, Cheryl and I flew to Chicago to visit Mindy. We were there for about four days and it was really nice to see our big sister again since it's been so long. Cheryl and I had been talking about how there really isn't a picture of the three of us kids since we don't all live in the same place anymore, so Cheryl and I decided we were going to get a picture of the three of us. We took a couple, but they didn't turn out the greatest...until we got the four of us in a picture. But I think this was the way the picture was meant to be...with the soon-to-be sister-in-law. But let me tell ya, this picture is a rare occurrence. It doesn't happen often, I HATE having my picture taken and I know Ryan does too.

So I hope you all are doing great! I hope to see all of you soon. Oh yeah, FYI, my birthday is March 27th, so I'm accepting money, diamonds, cars...you know what I like! Just kidding :)

Love you all,
Mandi --> that's an "I" not a "Y"

Cabin Fever!

Holy Cow,
We're going a bit stir crazy with all the snow shoveling. I think it's time we invested in a sno-blower. I've been enjoying the blog and seeing what y'all are up to.
Here's a pic of our sweet Alli Rose.... Ahhh looks can be deceiving. We love her and all the energy and smiles she brings. Tom and I will be up this weekend, hoping to get to the home and garden show in Minneapolis. And coffee talk with the Siebenalers. Love yas, Brandy

Pappa Murphy's Birthday

Just wanted you all to know it was Paul's birthday yesterday....wonder how he celebrated.....We're guessing he went Rodeo-ing.....That was Ken's guess....Anyway, happy belated Birthday Paul! How OLD are you anyway? with love, your young, sister-in-law, Diane

WOW!

This is the first time I checked this site out, impressive! This is everyones favorite quiet cousin Ryan. It so cool to see pictures of everyone. I feel as if I have vanished and I am seeing everyone for the first time in twenty-some odd years...maybe it has been that long for some. Anywho, I hope all are doing well, I must go back to icing my knee. Take care all, I shall try and view this site again in the next few days or week or so....
See ya!!
Ryan
