Busy, but fun!

We have been up to so much! Today I took Natalie to some stables with my SAHM's group. This was the first time she had ever seen a pony or any other farm animal for that matter. She loved them. When she was on the pony I was holding onto her leg and she kept telling me No! I also had a hold of the back of her pants and she really didn't want me to hold her there either, but I told her too bad! It was a good time.


My Aunt Linda got Natalie an Ed Hardy outfit for her first birthday. She is finally big enough to wear it and it is so cute on her. She wore it the other day and got so many comments on it!

Natalie, Grammie and I went to Hobby Lobby the other night to get some stuff. Of course we had to goof around while we were there!

Of course while Dad was here we had a project. This time it was garage shelves. The guys did a great job and Natalie and I were the supervisors. Now, we just need to get the shelves loaded with stuff!



This is the before photo of the garage.

A Fun Friday, Saturday and Sunday(so far)!

On Friday we went to Salina and Dad bought Aunt Linda some rocking chairs for her new front porch. He also bought a little on because she always has grand kids staying with her. Natalie really got a kick out of the little one!

For dinner we took Nonie to eat at her favorite restaurant Red Lobster. Natalie did pretty good, but she was sure running out of steam.

Nonie's next door neighbor has chickens and they feed them grass, so Nonie was teaching Natalie how to feed them grass. I love how in the second one she has a death grip on Dad's finger.
On Saturday we went to the Zoo to see the new Tiger exhibit. We went with Joe, Carrie, Emily and Chelsea! It was a lot of fun and the exhibit was great! We also got to feed a giraffe and Natalie thought that was pretty cool!







After the Zoo Dad made is famous deer wraps, beans and cole slaw and I talked Jeff into helping me around the house! You've got to love the men of 2000!
Natalie decided not to nap after the zoo, so I drug out the sprinkler and let her play! I love her little ruffled butt!
Today Dad and Natalie had on matching colors, so I had to take a photo. In the first photo Natalie is telling us she is one!

Happy Mother's Day!

Today was so much fun! We went to church and then out to eat with Mom, Dad, Jared, Joe, Carrie and Emily. After lunch we headed over to Chill for some Gelato! Yum!!
Natalie all dressed up for church!
Mom-Mom and Natalie before church.

Natalie giving me the very cute coffee cup that she made. It has her hand prints and a heart that she colored in. Too cute!

Mom and Natalie at Chill.

The girls at Chill.

Natalie has started pretending that the TV remote is the telephone. She dials it and talks on it just like we do. It is so funny. The first photo is how Natalie always is, going 100 miles an hour! She never holds still....busy, busy, busy!


Kristie and Trenton gave Natalie his old car. Natalie LOVES it. Climbing in and out of it is her favorite thing to do. She hasn't figured out how to make it go yet, but I am sure that won't be long!

What are we up to?

Today I had lunch with Mom, Kendra, Cassidy and of course Natalie. Cassidy was in town for a family funeral so we decided to head to lunch and met Kendra at a new restaurant in Old Town. I have to admit it was pretty tasty!
This is Natalie enjoying the queso and a drink with Grammie.
Of course I had to get a cheese face.
This is Kendra rocking a new diaper bag and outfit courtesy of Cassidy!

After lunch we headed across the square to get some Gellato. Natalie liked the water.

Natalie enjoyed her ice cream!

After lunch mom snapped a photo of the "girls"!

Last week I took Natalie to a cookie decorating party and she had a great time. That kid behind her ate an entire bowl of frosting. Ugg...

This is Natalie playing at our PAT (Parents as Teachers) playgroup. She always has a great time!

I snapped this photo of Natalie at a park picnic we had yesterday when the weather was so beautiful! We met our friends Emily and Abbie.


Puppy Love!

We just love our pup!
