Fun with Parker

Last weekend in PC Natalie got to spend lots of time with cousin Parker. He thinks she is so interesting.

Natalie enjoyed pushing Parker around in his car.

Whee....

22 Months!!

Natalie is 22 months old!! She loves all her purses and putting on all the stuff she carries around in them. She can't just have one purse at a time either!

Which one should she bring? Hmm...

Luke Turns 30!

Cousin Lucas turned 30 last week. We all went up to Pine City for a get together at auntie gramma Susie's.

Here we all are under the tent while it rained. Kinda reminiscent of mommy and daddy's reception party. Hey, Steph was wearing that same shirt that day too! Ha-ha!!

Aww, Natalie was having fun with uncle Brandon.

Auntie Chanda is having a baby. We all just found out!! Grandma Patti is blinking but it's still a nice picture.

Eat My Shorts!

Daddy, mommy, and Natalie went to Wabasha and stayed in the Grumpy Old Men suites. "Eat my shorts!" is a quote from the movie. They even have the DVD on the mantel for visitors to enjoy. And yes, no stay would be complete without watching the movie. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau are a hoot! Burgess Meredith steals the show too.

National Eagle Center

Mommy, daddy, and Natalie went to Wabasha for the weekend. Here they are with Angel the eagle at the National Eagle Center. Mommy spotted two eagles on the other side of the Mississippi.

Natalie tried to get the eagle eye view on this display.

The NEC is right on the water. They have some beautiful fountains outside. Natalie enjoyed splashing in them.

Minnesota Zoo

This was a very fun trip to the zoo!! Enjoy the pictures. Mommy and daddy had just as much fun as Natalie!!The butterflies were our favorite!

Fountains of Sunshine

We snapped some photos while enjoying the sunshine. Natalie wanted to play in the fountain. She was confused because she thought it was a splash pool.

Turtles and Sandboxes

Natalie got a new sandbox at granny and gramps' house. She seems to have a lot of fun in there!Granny is always willing to dig in and play.
You gotta love summer!

Happy Birthday Granny!!

We all wish you a terrific birthday, granny! I had a little fun with the tissue paper.
Natalie helped with the presents!

Independence Day

Natalie says "Happy Fourth of July"!! Oops, she's showing a little more than she should. Thanks grandma Patti for the great shirts to wear in honor of our country. The kids played outside--it was a beautiful day.
Linnea read to Natalie. These two got along great! I see babysitting in the future.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. We sure did!

Auntie Gramma Susie

Susie is mommy's aunt. She's also gramma's sister. So Natalie calls her auntie gramma Susie. We went to Elena's graduation party and had a good time.

Natalie got to see what was in Sue's purse. She wanted some lip gloss.


Here she is with her lips all pretty.
