Visiting Ajai in Columbus

2012-02-14T10:18:00.000-08:00

We loved the Columbus Zoo. We really stayed for a while watching the gorilla's. This is a crazy picture...look at the gorilla in the back.

Brothers!

My Ajai!

Visiting Ajai in Columbus was a blast...as usual:)

Halloween 2009

2009-11-05T07:07:00.001-08:00

We always go to our family's annual Fall Fest (I don't think we really have a name for it) and we have a blast. They have TONS of games and prizes and candy. This game is to see who can eat through their donut first.

Caleb was Tigger this year. It's so funny b/c I have Ajai in this exact outfit when he was 1 and they look so similar.

Excited about the plunder!

Caleb was loving this game!

Bruders!

Bulls Game and Caleb's New Quirks

2009-11-05T06:52:00.000-08:00

He is a very joyful baby as you can see! I love those dimples!

Thanks to Uncle DD and Auntie Beth Ajai and Donnie got to go to the United Center and get autographs from the Bulls players and watch them scrimmage.

The classic pose in front of Jordan.

Caleb MUST have things line up. He loves putting things in order...hmmm I'm thinking that doesn't come from the Leep side-ha ha.

New glasses he won in a fundraiser. We just think it's so funny.

Our Dancing Machine

2009-02-26T20:26:00.000-08:00

Caleb is our Dancing Machine! When he turned about 8 months every time music would play he would stop everything and start dancing. It was so cute. He either bopped his head back and forth or rocked his body back and forth. He also grunts ALL the time and so in this video when the music stops he grunts b/c he wants it to start again.

Lot's of catching up!

2009-02-26T19:38:00.001-08:00

Ajai loves jumping in the crib with Caleb every once in a while. Caleb is 8 months here and in the next few. The pictures further down he's nine months.

Doesn't this make you Tenn. folk jealous? I love the snow!

Wrestle time happens...well all the time at our house. Caleb loves it too.

Proud Daddy!

Ajai had crazy hair day at school and Donnie and I put our heads together to make his head look like this! It stayed all day!

That night we had a nerf gun fight after Caleb went to bed. We had so much fun. In the end Ajai and I teamed up against Donnie and I think he still won. We were all laughing so hard and sweating so much. I was scared going into it not knowing what pain I might endure. In the end I had a blast and realized that at this point I only have boys and if I want to enjoy them I'd better play their games!

Our sweetie pie!

He's almost standing on his own!

Caleb knows when we're taking a picture and hams it up every time. We laugh so hard.

One more mohawk shot

Caleb's Trick

2008-09-27T18:16:00.000-07:00

In response to Canon's new trick we thought we would show Caleb's! Sorry his head is cut off most of the time!

Caleb's Dedication

2008-09-18T08:23:00.001-07:00

In this picture Donnie was letting the church know how grateful we were to have Ajai worshiping with us that Sunday! It is always a blessing when he gets to come to church with us. He does go to a good church too with his dad so we are grateful for that.

We were so blessed to have so many of our relatives there with us. It was Fourth of July weekend so since our families were in town it was a great weekend to do it.
Afterwards we all went to Uncle John and Auntie Ruth's house for a cookout and Michelle took some pics of the cousins on my side. I'm so bummed we didn't take pics with the other set of cousins. They were all together and all looked so cute!!! Oh well maybe Christmas.
Here is one of us!

Sneak Peak of 3 month pictures

2008-07-20T20:19:00.001-07:00

Michelle took these pictures of Caleb while we were at John Michael's birthday party. I didn't even know she took them so I was so surprised when she e-mailed me these shots! I love them! Isn't he a cutie? I of couse think so:) So does Daddy. Thanks Michelle!

Trip to TN

2008-06-03T11:43:00.001-07:00

We went to TN for Auntie Julie's wedding this past weekend. We had a blast! Between juggling Ajai, Caleb and being a bridesmaid I didn't get any good pictures of Julie's wedding but here are a few shots of the weekend. They are so out of order b/c some of them got deleted so I had to go back and add some so sorry about the chaos!

Here are the Kotynski cousins! This was our first time getting to see Canon. He was born exactly one week before Caleb. He is so adorable and we loved being with them.

Everybody hung out on Friday before the rehersal

Julie looks stressed! She actually wasn't, she was a joyful and excited bride to be!

Ajai and Sadie played a lot at the rehersal dinner

Uncle Randy holding Caleb for the first time

Here is Ajai helping with Caleb by holding him proudly!

These two will be such good buddies! Now we are waiting on Michelle's little one and Mary's is already here!

Ajai made some new friends since we had the wonderful blessing of staying with the Sexton's! He had a blast with all the kids-6 kids that is. Here is a picture of Trevor, Ethan and Ajai swimming in their grandparents pool. He had such a great time with them. Thank you Sexton's! We loved being with you. Allison this post was mainly for you since you mentioned that you check this from time to time.

Here is a pic. Ajai took of me fixing Julie's dress in the back. She looked beautiful and the wedding was perfect. They are now in Mexico having a blast!

I also post pictures on another blog I have. I usually don't post the same pictures on both so if your wanting some more action here is the blog: www.korzeniewski.blogspot.com

It's Been a While!

2008-01-25T09:35:00.001-08:00

I thought I owe anybody still faithful to checking my blog an apology for just not doing anything in about a year!!! Now with the baby coming I thought maybe I'd get back into the swing of things. So here are some pictures!

This is Ajai's first year to ever play basketball. He loves it and is doing very well. We always have fun watching him b/c he is very aggressive and entertaining. I'm so so so thankful to have such a supportive family every game. One game he had 24 family members there to watch him and cheer him on. What a blessing!

Here are the Korzeniewski cousins on Christmas with their matching PJ's!

The adults all had matching PJ's too! I know it seems cheesy but it was fun. This is my brother and his son w/ Donnie! We had so much fun just chillin together Christmas night.

For Ajai's birthday back in October his dad surprised him with Switchfoot tickets and backstage passes. He hung out with them for a while and I guess they loved Ajai...who wouldn't? He He. (coming from his mother of course) He had such a great time!

Our New Nephew!

2007-02-24T09:54:00.000-08:00

My brother and sis-in-law just had their first baby and we all took turns flying out to D.C. to see them and help with the baby. My sister and I went together and we had a blast! His name is Bryan Korzeniewski the third. I now have a dad named Bryan, a brother named Bryan, a brother-in-law named Brian (spelled differently) and a nephew named Bryan. It get's a little confusing that's why I'm happy I have a Donnie and an Ajai!

Bryan and Deanna say he's always ready to box. He's always got those fists up.

Here he was trying to tell us to speak up.

This is the first time they tried to bottle feed him after she pumped. He did really well.

OK so I think my sister would officially kill me if she knew I posted this picture but I had to put one of these up. We took about 30 and laughed so hard at each one. This is what we do when we are away from our kids and husbands and extremely slap happy. It was such a fun night. I know we are pretty ridiculous. Bryan and Deanna were just as crazy as us that night.

Sorry Everybody!

2007-01-17T06:58:00.000-08:00

I really wanted to stop this whole blog thing b/c it takes some time ya know? Anyway I thought maybe I could just put a few pictures up here and there so Dave Swart would be happy! This one's for you Dave!

Here are some pictures of Josh and Michelle's wedding. I have none of the bride and groom b/c I was so busy that I didn't take any pictures. These are ones that Michelle Hamstra took. Thanks Michelle!

Payton is my niece and she was Josh and Michelle's flower girl. Michelle teaches Patyon in dance.

This is my sister for all who don't know

Ajai trying to get John Michael to walk at the age of 5 months. He's ready to have a boy run around with him at the family parties!

My amazing family!

Me and my great friend, cousin, and much needed accountability partner!

Ajai's Surprise Birthday Party

2006-10-19T19:43:00.001-07:00

Here is Ajai with all his pals at his 7th birthday party. The theme was football b/c that is his ultimate favorite sport.

Boys being boys! Notice the three little babies in front wondering what in the world is wrong?

Our fam! I love this picture

When that pinata broke they didn't waste a second

He was SO surprised it was halarious. I wish I had a picture of his face but I'm sure Michelle took an amazing one. She's always there to capture the moment!

Happy Birthday buddy! We are so proud of the little man of God you are!

(Another old event that took me a long time to post)

Our trip to Disney!!!

2006-10-19T18:58:00.000-07:00

Me and my honey!

Donnie and Ajai with Johnny and Addy in the background watching the show at the castle!

Ajai trying to see if this Donald Duck guy is real or a fake!

All of us getting ready to watch the 3-D thriller!!!!

Ajai dunking the ball at the resort!

We have Johnny and Michelle and her parents and RJ's parents to thank for this trip. They all were used by God to bless us in a huge way. We are so grateful that God gives us the desires of our hearts even when they don't seem that important in the grand scheme of things.

It's so funny because I really didn't think that anybody ever looked at our blog because it's not something I'm really in to! Little did I know I was wrong. I was told to update it by a few people b/c it's been so long since I have!!! So here are some pictures even though this trip was pretty old! Thanks to all who comment! This is kind of fun:)

A Birthday party at Moms!

2006-09-28T06:08:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!!

2006-09-11T11:31:00.000-07:00

26 years old!!!!! Ajai so wonderfully hung bells in celebration for Donnie's birthday

Blowing out the candles was a group effort!
This is a funny picture of us!
We decorated the door so when he came home from work he would be surprised. We also had balloons fall from the ceiling when he walked in the door! This was Ajai's idea and he was loving it!
Isn't he such a good looking guy? I know I love him!

Up North 2006

2006-09-01T05:54:00.000-07:00

"Up North" is the trip Donnie's family takes every year to the upper penisula of Michigan. We had such a great time this year. This is mine and Ajai's 2nd year going. There are about 1,000 picutres that I could have posted but I thought I would just show a few. Here is one of our family!

Ajai getting ready to skimboard- he did good!

On our down day (it rained a little) the guys played a little Mario on the laptop

Donnie skimboarding! He did really good.

Our tent! We loved sleeping in the tent.

2006-08-24T11:13:00.000-07:00

Donnie and Ajai at the lookout, although I enjoyed looking at them more than anything else! A family picture that Ajai wasn't too thrilled about!
The guys taking their morning bath-one of Ajai's favorites!
Travis resuscitating Ajai while Ben hopes and prays he comes back to life.
Donnie trying to convince Ajai that this is actually a lot of fun... It took a while but eventually Ajai took the plunge and he loved it!

The culprits:Auntie Bobe and Auntie Joyce

The jokes on us! We were condemned from our tent and everything was taken out. This was one of the many pranks done to us and many others on our trip.

2006-08-23T18:07:00.000-07:00

Our family enjoying the "Splashpool" a couple of days before the kids started school!
