Walking! Walking! Walking!

A little after his birthday, Abel was starting to take little steps. Well, now he is 13 months is a pro. He has completely given up crawling now. Unfortunately for us, he is faster and harder to catch. 


Happy Birthday Abel!

Happy 1st birthday Abel John Mark!




He didn't eat too much cake. We don't think he liked how the frosting stuck to his hands. It was fun to watch.









Just like Christmas, he loved the wrapping paper.







Abel is 1!!!!

And just like that our baby is 1. He is growing like crazy, wearing all 18 month+ clothing. He loves music, throwing balls, and giving out kisses. He loves to sleep with his blanket and pacifier. He is still a picky eater, but is getting better with trying new foods. We love this little boy like crazy, and are so blessed to have him.











Junior Vikes Wrestling

Now that Silas is in Kindergarten, he is old enough to try out wrestling. He was so excited to try a new sport. The program was run through WLA and the wrestling team was there to help teach and coach along the way. Silas learned a lot about the sport and how to really work hard, especially when someone is stronger then you.






At the end of the season, Silas got to participate in a tournament. He worked hard and had fun. We were very proud of him.

11 Months Old

At 11 months, our little Abel was crawling everywhere. He especially likes going into Ruby's kennel. Ruby isn't so sure about it. He is still super happy most of the time. He loves tackling his siblings and throwing anything he can get his hands on.

Our Grandma Great

Our heavenly Father, took our loving Grandma Great Lucile Braasch home to heaven this December. What an amazing Christian women she was. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. She is missed dearly, but we know we will see her in heaven again.


Christmas Day 2016

We had a wonderful Christmas Day. The kids got to open their stocking in the morning before church. After church we celebrated with the big Jaeger family in Ixonia.

















We had a wonderful Christmas with family. We are very blessed.
