More Nataly

Somebody got a new wagon!
She loves being pulled around the yard and the neighborhood in it.

Here she is at the Children's Museum driving the bus and pressing buttons.

Funny picture of Mary and Nataly at Rafferty's pizza in Brainerd. We went up there for the weekend with the Skogen's to get away. Everyone had a blast in the waterpark.

4th of July

We didn't do much this 4th of July weekend but we did hang out with the Skogens a couple of times. I manged to get use of the two red, white and blue outfits I got. Plus I got a swimsuit that was pretty festive as well. We BBQ, went for walks and just chilled. Eric saw some fireworks but Nataly and I stayed home. Well Nataly was in bed.


Nataly loved the sand box. She just kept taking sand out by the fist full and dumped it in the grass. Not the way we wanted it to go but she was lovin' it.

Long Lost Video

Well not really. Here is a video that we didn't forgot about when we were down south last month. It's pretty funny. I think the merry go round needs to be replaced or maybe just needs a little oil.

First Airplane Ride

Last week we flew down to visit the Wings of Tulsa and the Wings of Bella Vista. Anna Lisa helped us out and let us use a buddy pass. So we were able to fly in and out of Arkansas. It was great!

Here she is on her first plane ride.

Someone has some food.

Kate is charging the camera.

Here is a picture of the bike race. This was the reason we went down for the week. Tulsa had a huge bike race that took place on city streets. They shut down whole roads and the riders took over. It was awesome, they were going 30+ mph in huge packs and going around city blocks. It felt like the Tour de France, people were lining the course and ringing cow bells everywhere. I cant wait until next year.

Twins Game

Alisha and I went to a Twins game with some tickets that a builder gave us. The tickets were amazing - 4th row behind home plate. The seats were in the Champions Section, which I didn't even know existed. To get to this section we had to drive around the back of the stadium and the valet took our car. We literally walked 200' to our seats. We were so close to the field that we could hear the players breathing when they were on deck. Not only were the tickets great, they came with food and drink. Alisha and I ate so much we were sick.

Nice Legs

Everyone knows that Nataly has chubby cheeks. But only a few people know that her legs are chubby too. We think they are super cute so we took a few picture so we could remember it forever.

For some reason she wanted to see what I was doing on my computer. So I decided to use it to lure her across the room and get her to crawl.

Her latest thing is to scream. She does it for certain people after she warms up to them or when she is really excited. The pitch is so high it hurts your ears.It's great.

After bath time she is winding down and getting ready to go to bed.

Easter 2011

Easter weekend the neighborhood had an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday morning. It was cold and wet but it was still happening. The kids were so excited. It was fun to watch. By the time the parents even got into the backyard the eggs were all gone. Next year Nataly will have a chance.

Easter Sunday we headed to my mom's. Eric picked up Grandma Gladys and I met him in Burnsville. It was great. Nataly got 2 baskets. One from Mama and Daddy and the other from Auntie Anna. It was fun watching her look at her eggs and then realize they had goodies inside when they broke open. Easter Sunday ended up being a beautiful and wonderful day. Grandpa John even made it over to see Nataly on Easter.
