The kitchen set that mommy and daddy surprised her with when she woke up.

The decorations. It was a Strawberry Shortcake Day!!

The cake trimmed with Strawberry Shortcake fun!

A two year old eating cake. What more could she ask for?

I love you Natalie and I can't wait for the next year! Love Tanner

Como Town

To celebrate Natalie's birthday a little early, my mommy and daddy took her to Como Town. This was the first time she has really been on amusement park rides, besides the carousel, and the VERY first time she went all by herself! On the train with mommy. Natalie has to be 36 inches to ride by herself. She's just a little bit over 33 inches.

On the pony cart ride

Driving a car. This was her absolute favorite!!

And yet another car. Everyone had a splendid time at the park!

Orchard Trip Part One

Last Sunday my family made a trip to Apple Junction to check out the new stuff. Uncle Sam was driving the hayride so they all went on. As you can see Natalie was cheering for her team!

Natalie wanted to get a pumpkin. It just doesn't seem cool enough for fall yet! There will be many more trips to the orchard this season. Apple festival is Oct 3 and 4. Can't wait for the Honeycrisps!

Playhouse

Mommy and Natalie went to visit with friends at Ann's house last weekend. Natalie was very lucky because she got to play in the playhouse. Ann's daughter, Katie, showed her how to make some yummy foods.

Natalie had a really good time. Mommy did too!

I Like to Hide Out!

Sometimes I get away from it all by finding a nice spot to hide.

Go Vikings!!

Natalie just wants the Vikings to get a win today!! What a cute cheerleader!

The Great Minnesota Get Together

Mommy and Natalie went down the Giant Slide at the State Fair. Can you see them towards the top? At the bottom.
Auntie Rachele and cousin Parker went to the fair too! Natalie and Parker rode in the double stroller. It was a fun time!
