Guy Time

Natalie enjoys spending time with her two favorite guys! She loves to eat 'butter fork' with Popaw. She is definately a daddy's girl - she is always hugging on him. Today she kept grabbing his face and turning it to her and saying 'look at me' then gave him a big kiss!

Fun With Friends and Family

BRRR! It's cold here! Natalie is modeling her new white 'fur' coat. She had a 2T that was mine when I was little, but now we've moved up to the 3T!


I am surprised that at almost 2 years old that Natalie knows how to pose like she is in high school! She attached herself to her all night!

Party Sunday

We went to our friend Kelly's daughters baptism. She is the one that I cut up her wedding dress and made a baptism gown. Let me tell you, out of the 4 babies there, Peyton was the best dressed! Her dress sparkled and she looked like an angel! Natalie is not used to sitting in church with us, but she did a really great job! Carter and Natalie were walking around hugging, kissing, and holding hands before the service began. Then, when the called kids to go up for a message, she went, but they actually take the kids to another room! Her and her friend Maddie didn't notice people were leaving so they just stood up front dancing and laughing. The whole church thought it was hysterical. Finally, Maddie's dad helped them to the room. The service was beautiful. Then we went to a small party to celebrate the day, as well as Carter's second birthday.

Out and About

Went out with some of my girls last night. It's been awhile, but a good time as always. I had won a bet with Ryan about a friend's husband's name earlier in the week so I got to sleep in today which made it even better to go out last night! We had a good time catching up and dancing the night away!

Pics

Look at all my teeth!

Cheesing!

Hmmm...

No pictures, no news!! It's been awhile since I've posted an update. I've been busy busy busy finding deals this weekend, as well as catching up on some sewing. I got 3 outfits finished and mailed out. Now I'm working on some carriers and nursing covers. I'll be taking a little break the next 2 days because I'm subbing at my old school! I'm trying to squeeze in sewing and subbing jobs to save fun money for Disney!

Ryan is back to work and in the swing of things. He passed both his classes last semester with B's! He starts a new class soon and is taking the math clep. So he is busy working and studying. I got him a few odd jobs working on some friends cars as well.

Natalie is just Natalie! She's been a HUGE eater lately thanks to a Christmas present from my mom. I got the cookbook Deceptively Delicious. You use pureed vegetables in all kinds of recipes! We're all enjoying them.

I'll try to get some pictures this week!

I'm Going to DISNEY WORLD!

I am sooooo excited. Being a SAHM with only one income, I didn't think we'd ever be able to 'do' Disney. Packages there are so expensive and it sounds overwhelming to plan. BUT, they are doing a Military Celebration in 2009 so Ryan gets a free ticket! Then he can get me a 5 day park hopper pass wtih waterparks for $140 (it's usually $322!!!). Natalie is free because she is 2 and under. The military also has the Armed Forces Vacation Club. You can get great deals at resorts. We are getting a 2 bedroom for 7 days with a full kitchen for $329. Better yet, we are splitting it with friends so even cheaper. We're close enough (ha) to drive.

I know Natalie won't remember the trip, but she'll enjoy it while we are there. And it's a good excuse for me to make a new scrapbook.

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Sayings - More Added

I thought I'd type some of the things that Natalie are saying now that crack Ryan and I up.

"Oh airport. Airplanes soooooo cuuuuuuute. I so happy. Clapping hands!"
"Daddy's a silly guy."
"I watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Christmas Tree D V D right NOW!"
"I need milk in my mouth."
"Daddy goes pee potty in boy bathroom".

I knew there was more sayings I was laughing about.

When I put socks on she says, in a Minnesotan accent, "Warm and Cozy Toesies".
She grabs Ryan's push-up things and tries to do them. She says, "More essersizing!"
"Mommy warm up car it' cold outside!"
