Our Little Fish

Natalie sure loves to swim! I thought I'd get some under water pictures and videos before summer is over.

And here she is all dressed-up for going to the public pool and splash pad next to my parents' house. Love the visor!

1st Day of Preschool

To wrap-up our summer, we made sure to spend lots of quality time with Natalie since we knew we were going back to work soon:

Here, Natalie is a cowgirl yelling "Yeehaw!" after she organized a good portion of her stuffed animals on my yoga mat. She's so original and organized, and I love it!

Recently, Brian has used the kickboard to create huge waves in the pool, tossing Natalie around - and she loves it!

Here's a great shot that Grammie got of Natalie jumping off of a block at the Chandler Mall playground. She does like to jump off of things...

And later we went out for dinner at the "statue restaurant," as Natalie calls it. She always has to sit on the statue on our way out, and we take turns bowing to royalty on the "throne."  :)

Natalie loves her little plastic My Little Ponies that Brian has been buying her every Sunday, especially her large stuffed one that her Grammie got her at the Bear-a-Bear Workshop! Brian and I guiltily love the cartoon, and want to watch it more that Natalie at times.

On Meet the Teacher Day, Natalie toured her preschool and made her tote which she uses as her "backpack." 

On the 1st official day of preschool, I was lucky to be able to drop her off since I have 1st period plan at my school. Grandma was also able to join the fun! We FaceTimed on the phone with Daddy, too, so he could wish her good luck.  :)

Natalie brought Piglet just in case she needed a friend (but I doubt she needed it because she's been hyped about going to school for so long!). She wasn't interested in holding the sign for long.

My big girl!!!!!

I hope she will always love to learn!

Being coy with the flowers.  :)
