Happy Birthday Times Two

My family went to Buca tonight to celebrate two birthdays!! Gramps and auntie Em have the same birthday. Isn't that cool? Natalie was so excited to sit next to her auntie.

The whole restaurant sang "Happy Birthday" to gramps.

And to auntie Em! Hope they both had a wonderful day!

Cabin #10

My family went up north to stay in cabin #10 for the week. Here are some pics. As you can see there was lots to do!! Natalie had a blast telling us jokes! Many days were spent fishing and on the boat. They even traveled to the Mississippi River headwaters. Natalie got to stand in the water at the very beginning of the river.
Thanks granny and gramps for a wonderful time!

Getting Ready for the Cabin

Natalie was given the chance to pack her own suitcase for the cabin. This is what she chose. Notice that I am in the suitcase :) I wish I could go with my family but I am being well cared for by Janice, Gordon and Jazz. I'm a little jumpy around the dog but I know by the end of the week we'll be buddies!

Natalie's First Picnic

Mommy, daddy, and Natalie went for a picnic at Harmon Park. Natalie thought it was fun to eat outside on the ground.

Cheese!!

A Sucker for the Potty

Natalie has been doing really well on the potty these days. She gets a sucker or a treat for each success. Lately she has had way too much sugar! We are so proud of her.

Happy Birthday Deven!!

Deven turned one on Sunday. He loved his cake!
All the kids eating their cake.

Relay For Life 2009

The Relay was rained out so we had to go to Plan B. It was held in the PAC at the high school. We sold a ton of caramel corn and did really well with the hole-in-one game. Thanks to Emilie, our team captain, she took care of everything! Natalie had lots of fun with Linnea. It was so steamy hot in the gym that the camera fogged up. We also want to thank our family and friends who supported us in our efforts! It was a total success! Click on picture to enlarge

Happy Birthday Brody--A Few Days Late!

Brody turned 3 last Sunday. We all celebrated at the park. Here's Brody trying to break open the pinata.
All the kids scrambled for the candy including auntie Chanda!

All the cousins. Mommy didn't get such good pictures of them. It's so hard to get everyone to cooperate!

Fair and Parade

The Pine County parade was better than ever! Natalie had a blast with her cousins.

Parker and Natalie had fun going to the fair in the wagon. Here they are in front of Grandpa Bill's tractor.

Natalie played the duck game. I wonder when she'll figure out that she doesn't get to keep those ducks she pulled from the water?
