Our little Natalie is 3. This girl doesn't ask for much. She didn't even know she was getting presents until I asked her when she wanted to open them. "you bought me a present mom??!!" I volunteer at the school on Monday mornings so Natalie spent all morning playing outside with her friend Taylor--she wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Afterward, I took her to the store and let her pick out a balloon. She always wants one so this was a treat. I think it was her favorite present.
She had to nap with her balloon clipped to her shirt
David and I couldn't stomach anymore goodies so we had some extra cookies I had made for something else and we put her candles in that. She didn't eat it, just blew out the candles. :)
After trick or treating instead of eating candy we dished up ice cream cones....because it's Halloween yet still in the high 80's. Natalie picked out grasshopper ice cream for her birthday-yum!
Natalie with her new pajamas and her new nightlight. I was so excited to find this purple Twilight Turtle at a discount store. We've been wanting to get the girls one for a long time and purple is Natalie's favorite color!
This girl has grown so much in the past year. She's still a little spitfire but is so loving, compassionate, and sweet too.
She wants to wear a skirt everyday, takes great naps, her speech has improved, and she has become a much less picky eater.
Here are 3 of my favorite things about Natalie:
1. She is super cuddly and gives the most amazing hugs....seriously.
2. She uses her entire body while she talks; especially her hands, eyebrows, and hips
3. She makes me laugh ALL. DAY. LONG.
Stats:
Weight: 32 lbs
Height: 37 in.
We celebrated David's birthday yesterday. Now this man definitely doesn't ask for anything for himself. I told him I wanted to bring Paradise Bakery cookies into his work for a treat. I asked him what kind he would like and he said 'whatever you get is fine' to which I responded 'don't forget it's YOUR birthday and you're KING today!' So the girls and I brought some cookies and a Superman balloon into his work.
After work he opened some presents and we headed out to meet up with some friends for dinner. And for a real treat, David didn't have to do any of the bedtime routine...he got to sit on the couch and watch a nature show while eating an ice cream cone! :)
Here are 3 of my favorite things about David:
1. He laughs at all my jokes, even the not so funny ones
2. He is always there for me and the kids
3. He is steady, dependable, a hard worker, and oh so cute
Happy Birthday to two of my favorite people!!

Happy Birthday to 2 great people! Love the purple night light, I think I prefer that over the ladybug.
Yay for Birthdays!!! Happy Birthday Miss Natalie & Happy Birthday to David Dean!! hehehe...
You are so good to your family on their special days! You can help me celebrate my birthday anyday!
Love you & miss you all!!
Oh Natalie (and family), it seems you have discovered the one downside to a Halloween birthday. It is very hard to enjoy birthday cake or any other birthday treat because you get all sugared out from all of the Halloween treats beforehand. Sad but true. ;)
Happy birthday to both David and Natalie!!!
Happy Happy Birthday to both of them! We really meant to call for David's special day but Chad has been sick all week... and you know how it is when husbands get sick?!
Looks like they both got the royal treatment just as they deserve! I LOVE the last picture of them - priceless! ;)
Happy Birthday to your two loves!
I can't get over how cute Natalie is. Between her little cheeks, big eyes, full lips, and blond hair, she is a doll! The shot with the ice cream cone is my favorite. She definitely has her own look, but I see a bit of Cyrena in that shot of her blowing out her candles.
And David does laugh at everything. You're so lucky! I wish Cory thought I was funny. Oh well, at least David probably does.
I will call you sometime next week.
