Nat's Arm

During December Natalie decided that she wanted to stand on our bench at our dining room table to color.  We were all dressed and ready to go for church.

All of a sudden Natalie was laying on the ground crying!!  We didn't know what had happened.  Tyler was in the kitchen doing dishes, and I was sitting at the table grading papers.

When I looked at her arm it just looked strange to me.  We drove across the street to the ER, and called Tyler's parents to see if they could come pick up B for us.


Daddy held our little princess while the admitting nurse tried to get some information and vitals form our sweet girl.


You may not be able to tell from this angle, but her arm was definitely bent!


Even spending the morning in the ER she wanted to cheese!!


They could only give us a soft cast in the ER, so we had to wait a few days before going to see a specialist to confirm that her arm was broken.  The ER told us it was broken in TWO places.


Waiting to see the doctor!


X Rays for our appointments two weeks apart.  You can FOR SURE see that your bone was BENT!!  CRAZY!!


Our sweet baby girl was excited to have a bright PINK cast of course!  Would you have expected anything less!?!  Just like her mama!!

Rachel's Wedding

I was able to fly up to spend Rachel's wedding weekend with her, but Tyler and the kids weren't able to come!


Friday morning we went and got our nails done after we were done setting up the venue!  It was quite an adventure, we can just leave it at that!


Rehearsal was simple, quick and to the point!  My favorite kind!  Rachel's venue is BEAUTIFUL!


Saturday morning we had mom crying right away!!  She started crying when we made our first mimosa!!  It's okay mom, she's married, but she's still your baby!


We had lots of fun taking pictures in the bridal suite!  I'll let these speak for themselves!







After we were all dressed we had even more time to take more pictures!  Needless to stay we had a lot of fun taking pictures!!



After the ceremony it was time to eat, drink and be merry!!


First dance as Mr. and Mrs!!


Daddy daughter dance is always a favorite!!


Tossing away the bouquet!!!


Congratulations little sister! I wish you nothing but a world of happiness!

Rachel's Wedding Shower

We hosted Rachel's wedding shower at my great grandma's house!  It was perfect because she has an awesome backyard that we were able to use!  Plus, the weather was BEAUTIFUL that day!!


We had a VERY yummy food spread!  So many great things to eat!!


Date night ideas, envelopes and the gift area!


Our party favors were also our drink cups!  My dad did a great job creating all of the lids for us! We couldn't find them in store like this, except for a two pack for $10!!  My dad was alb ego do this for us with just a drill, and super cheap!!

I guess those are all of the pictures I have!!  I will try to find more for you!!

Minnie Birthday

Our sweet baby girl turned 2 in April, and of course we had to celebrate with Minnie Mouse!!


Our sweet baby girl wanted a RED Minnie Mouse party too!  Do you know how hard it is to find RED Minnie Mouse in anything party related!?!  It is near impossible because Minnie Mouse in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is PINK!  Thankfully my mom is awesome, and she created some amazing decorations for us!!



Before Natalie's birthday party began she was able to spend some time with her Papa since he had to leave to go to work!  We were so glad that he was able to come down and spend the morning with his Princess on her birthday morning!!  We love Papa and are so thankful for all that he does to help us!!


Natalie was very excited that so many of her friends came to help us celebrate her special day!  Of course the day wouldn't have been complete without playing in the garage!


Since our sweet baby is allergic to egg, we didn't have cake or cupcakes!  Instead we had ICE CREAM!!  Aunt Chelsea I bet you wish you could have made it now!!  :)  Guess what though, there is egg in vanilla ice cream!!  Who would have thought!?  Luckily we had some sherbet just for her!!


Natalie was very lucky to have her other grandma and grandpa with us at her birthday party too!  It is such a blessing to be surrounded by our family, and for our babies to grow up with BOTH sets of their grandparents so close!  We are EXTREMELY BLESSED!!!



No party is complete without our best buddies, the Kriegers!!  So thankful for these boys, and that they are both a year younger then our sweet babies!  Here's to many more years of celebrating our birthdays!!
