Tomatoes!
We tried our hand at gardening this year, Patrick got me tomato plants for Mother's Day and we picked them tonight. Natalie loved them, and I have to say they definitely tasted better than the store bought ones!

Our little runner
Amy was running on the treadmill and I was downstairs talking to her. When all of a sudden a pair of shoes, running shoes, comes flying down the stairs followed by Natalie. Natalie then informs us that it is her turn to go running, and that she needs to put on her "fast shoes." The rest is in the video, she loves to emulate her mom.

Cute Friends
What do you get when you try to get three 2 year olds to pose for a picture...
Natalie loves playing with her friends Kaitlin and Eliza they have so much fun together. We had all gotten together during the week before the 4th and made our girls matching bows, so we wanted a picture of them. They weren't so sure about it though! Thanks Marissa for sharing your pictures.

Update
Sorry it's been so long. Following are slideshows of pictures summariing our busy summer. We've had lots of fun company with grandparents coming and going as well as fun times around Milwaukee as a family since Patrick has more time off. We have discovered the beach on Lake Michigan this summer, Natalie loves it. Also we had a great 4th of July here, parade, bbq, fireworks, a very busy day. Enjoy the pictures!

One Year Down, Almost
So no excuse really as to why I haven't posted for awhile, just slacking. Here is an update from our last month.
This is a picture of Natalie at her first Brewers game. She loved it, I was worried about taking her, especially since the game was during nap time, but she did great. She ate licorice, played on the playgrounds they have in the stadium with Patrick and her favorite part was the mascot Bernie. Bernie has a huge slide that he goes down when a home run is hit. Natalie spent at least the last 4 innings of the game watching the slide and saying they have to hit the ball really far (arm motioning how far) then Bernie will go down the slide. She is so funny, I couldn't believe her attention span was that long, and have no fear the Brewers finally hit a home run and she got to see Bernie go down the slide and watch the fireworks go off.
The next weekend we decided we needed to get away and took a quick overnight trip to Chicago. Patrick and I got to take turns going to the temple and then we spent Saturday touring around Chicago. The first pictures are of Natalie's "room" in our hotel, we baricaded her behind the other matress in our room.
After a decent night's sleep Natalie and I enjoyed the Continental breakfast at our hotel while Patrick went to the early morning temple session. She loved being able to pick what she could eat for breakfast and went up and down the line saying I want this, and this and this... She was in heaven. After breakfast we drove down to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Natalie had been talking about seeing the big fish all week and was so excited. She really enjoyed the aquarium and watching the fish get fed and seeing the turtles up close. She was also fascinated by the otter, it kept doing flips off of the glass and she thought that was so cool.
Patrick and Natalie outside the Aquarium on Lake Michigan, it was a beautiful day.

After the aquarium we walked all around Chicago and Natalie eventually gave up and fell asleep, she kept twisting around in her stroller, I thought she was going to fall out cause she wasn't buckled in.
Natalie loves being in our backyard, everyday she asks to go outside. Her favorite thing to do is move her chair into the sun, sit down and relax.
Well its finals and time for my projects again. I refinished an old closet organizer that my mom gave me to make a little book shelf for Natalie's room. I also figured out how to make storage baskets to help organize Natalie's toys.
Also last week Natalie found some old mascara that I had thrown away and decided to put it on, luckily she kept it to her own face, and I don't know why she is sticking her tongue out, just being silly I guess.
Well that's all for now, we're excited that summer is almost here and at the end of the week we will officially be done with our first year of medical school. I can't believe how fast it has gone by, we love it here in Wisconsin the school, the area we live in and our friends really make this experience enjoyable!

Natalie has super sensitive eyes and hates the sun so the other day we finally got her sunglasses and she loves them and wears them all the time. She also loves it when its warm enough to wear summer clothes.
