We are starting to ask ourselves if time is flying by faster and faster each month, it sure seems like it! You are growing up so fast and you are becoming such a big girl. Mommy and Daddy love you very much and we are so lucky to have you as our little girl. You amaze us every day and our love for you grows with each passing moment! We love you very much!
Pretty girl in her beautiful strawberry dress!
Looking so grown up on the front steps!
On the Elmo Sit and Spin! Soon after it moved onto the carpet!
The only picture I could get of Natalie on her ladybug ride-on toy outside! Don't worry she was fine!
Talking on her peanut butter toast phone!
"Mmmmm peanut butter"

We left to go to Saugatuck, Michigan for a week of vacation on Friday, June 22, 2012. Natalie, Gigi and I drove up late after work and got to the house a little after 10 pm. It was just over 5 hours from home, which was a perfect distance. We spent our days playing outside, going to the beach and exploring Saugatuck and Fennville. I was only able to stay until Wednesday, but Natalie stayed with Gigi and Papa for another two days and from what I hear was very well behaved.
Digging in the sand on the beach
"Mom stop bugging me while I work!"

Your favorite food: WATERMELON!
This face is pure summer joy! Hair still full of sunscreen and a little wet, watermelon juice running down your chin and arms, while outside eating dinner!
Playing in the park around a gazebo near this neat tree!
Sitting outside relaxing with Aunt Marie and Sammie!
Uncle Joe and Uncle Mark teaching the kids how to throw pizza dough up in the air. Probably the hardest I have laughed in a long time!
Sammie riding the tricycle on the driveway
Natalie strutting her stuff in her bathing suit
Sammie playing with a big frisbee, while the boys played soccer
Charlie sitting on a ball. I think he thought if he sat on the ball then no one could take it from him!
Joey dancing to the music
Caden showing his moves
Caden and Natalie dancing to the music!
Daddy came up for a quick dinner one evening which was an awesome surprise! We were really glad to see him even if it was for just a short time!
Gigi and Papa with four of the kids
Sammie, Papa, Joey, Caden, Natalie and Gigi
Natalie kept climbing behind the chair with Ladybug and resting against the chair.
It was a great hiding place!

It sounds silly but this was one of Natalie's favorite parts of vacation. She had a good time beating the signs with shovels and hitting them with her hands!
On the way to the Cleveland Zoo with Ashley and Liam Haskins! You were sleeping so peacefully that I really didn't want to wake you when we got there!
Riding the choo-choo train at the zoo!
Liam being Liam
On our way out of the zoo! It was in the mid-90s and extremely humid!
I love blueberry jam...thanks Gigi!
