Rogan's 1st Husker Game!

Sorry!!! I have been horrible about keeping up with the blog since we left for Vegas, then I started the new job. It has been quite an eventful and exciting 6 weeks! We went to Vegas and had an amazing time! Then we got back and I started my new job with Nebraska Bolt the day after we returned! We have just been enjoying football season ever since! We have been to a Nebraska Game and a Raiders/Chiefs game. Rogan is growing up soooo fast! He is still not crawling, but I am betting on any day. For now I am enjoying my last few moments on immobility! He is getting GREAT at pulling himself up on me and standing while holding on to things. I have a sneaky suspicion that the transition from crawling to walking is going to be a SHORT one! My sister and her husband Seth are moving in to a new house this week, as are Gabe's brother and his girlfriend Jessica! Busy, Busy. Meanwhile, we are tearing out our old carpet to make room for some fresh Rogan stains on new carpet :) The big announcement in case you haven't already heard is that My sister Emily & Seth are expecting a new baby!!!!! He/she (I am betting on SHE) is due April 14th! That is all the news I have for now. Enjoy the pics! I will try to do a better job of updating so Rogan isn't like graduating from college the next time I post pics! LOL. Enjoy!

6 Month Pictures & Ma Ma Ma

Here are two of Rogan's 6 month pictures. We had a ton of pictures taken when our friend Jasmin was back when Rogan was 4 1/2 months so we jsut had a few poses quick taken at Walmart. Also the big news today is that Rogan has said his first word...over and over and over...Ma, ma, ma, mama, ma ma..all day long. I love it!!!!

July-Now

Ok...so I haven't been the best about updated lately, but life has been....CRAZY to say the least! At the end of July I made a heart wrenching decision to leave Grainger for a new venture. I took an outside sales position with Nebraska Bolt. It is a risky move, but hopefully the right one for our family at the time. Only time will tell :)

Rogan had his 6 month check up. He was a little over 28 3/4" long, (99%) 18.7 lbs (70%) and his head circ is 17 5/8" (80%) His head has certainly grown since his 4 month visit when he was just in the 50% percentile! Rogan has been hanging at home with me for the past three weeks which has been just amazing! Since I took a job with a competitor, Grainger told me they would pay me for my notice, but would not allow me to work because of confidentiality. I was sad at first, then I realized I get 3 weeks with my baby! YEAH!!

We have spent a lot of that time visiting Rogan's friends! We hung out will Jill and baby marley, We also saw baby Presley for the first time since she has been home from Childrens in Omaha! We also went to Jackson Stehliks first birhtday party and Czech days! The kids all had lots of fun together !! ;)

I also redecorated our house....this was going to be a simple project in my head. After several days of sewing, painting and moving furniture, the project is complete and looking great!

I can't really remember what else we have done, but somehow time is flying by us! Rogan is eating more and mre solid food, we have started meat. He is also sitting up quite well these days and is more fun tha never!

Gabe and I are taking our first vacation away from Rogan this week. :( We are going to Vegas for a few days. It will be soooo hard to leave him, but he will be in great hands with the grandparents! It should be a great time. One of the friends we are going with also has a little boy she willbe leaving with grandparents, so we can sulk together :)

4th of July, 2nd tooth, and 19 ROLLS!!!

Rogan thought momma was pretty funny getting in his crib with him! LOL

The Family :)

Watching the fireworks!

Rogan's 4th of July Jammies!

Rogan and momma

What an eventful weekend we have had! Rogan is popping his 2nd tooth! He has really done better than I expected with his first two teeth! We went to a friend of ours for a BBQ for the 4th. Rogan decided to show off his rolling skills by demonstrating 19 consecutive rolls! It was CRAZY! He just kept going and going. He really seemed to LOVE the fireworks and wasn't bothered by the noise in the least! He was pretty tuckered out, but was trying to hang in there to see what 4th of July was all about!

Father's Day & the Swing set!

WEEEE We are going high momma!!

1st Time in the new swing. Thanks g-ma & g-pa Fink!!!

Rogan's new anklet?!? Not sure how he managed this???

We have had a fun filled weekend. We went to the horse races Friday night, we went to Aunt Emily & Uncle Seth's for a BBQ on Saturday and today we hung out with dad then headed to Crete to see Grandpa & Grandma Fink. We also got to visit Rogan's future wife (lol) Marley Rae Behrends after she was born late Friday night! Congrats to Jill & Cody!!! After all was said and done we decided to assemble the swing set and try out Rogan's baby swing! WHOA! So much excitement! Rogan made daddy chocolate chip pankcake for breakfast and put them on the plate in the shape of a "D" for Daddy and served him breakfast in bed! Daddy was quite impressed with his 5 month olds cooking abilities! :) Here are some pictures from our events this weekend! I also included a picture of Rogan with his ring on his ankle. I am not sure how he managed it, but he got his ring on his foot. I couldn't help but take a picture, TOO CUTE!

Hammock Fun

One of Rogan's favorite things to do is to lay with Mom or Dad in the hammock. Today I decided it would be fun for a photo shoot. He was pretty crabby (which is why we were outside swinging in the first place) but a few of the pictures turned out ok. Here is one of my favorite pictures!

Family Reunion

Holding on to his links even fast asleep!

My cousins. LOVE THEM!

Rogan & Momma

Me & Em-GOOFBALLS!

Rogan & Elijah-Also goofballs! Hmm...wonder where they get it? :)

We had the Fink family reunion this weekend at Lovewell Lake. What a blast! We went down Friday right after work and came back late Saturday night. Rogan was loving every minute of it. He is our little outdoorsman. No matter how unhappy he is, just take him outside and his day brightens right up! He loved the leaves! he thought when they would move the were moving just for him! I forgot my photo card at home so I couldn't get too many pictures, but here are a few to share from our weekend! Gabe and I are convinced we need to get a little camper now! :) The picture of Rogan in his car seal was cracking us up! He was exhausted from being outside all weekend and fell fast asleep, but he still maintained the death grip on his links! He held them all the way home! Too funny!
