It's Been a While!

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!

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!

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

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!!!

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!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!!

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

"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.

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.

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