Natalie's B-Day Present

2011-11-03T14:00:00.001-07:00

Before and after pictures. It still needs some finishing touches, but we wanted to give it to Natalie for her B-Day.

Happy Halloween

2011-10-22T12:04:00.001-07:00

So we were able to go to an American Halloween Party here in Zurich at the stake center and Natalie loved the haunted house :) Not really, she cried and wanted out.... Anyways Happy Halloween to those in the States and enjoy the sugar shock that your kids will have. And by the way the pink tie is now dead as it got bleached by some kids face paint... So sad, I will have to find another metrosexual one.

Guess What?

Here are Airport pics of us sleeping. It was great seeing our family but our trip home was a nightmare.
This is Aaron in the drawer he loves climbing in the drawers!!! And the other is him on his swimring, he loves going to the pool!

Sorry we are really bad at updating our blog. As you can see the kids are growing. Natalie is officially bilingual, she started switching between German with Mami and English with Daddy, it's really cool. Her favorite thing to say lately is 'why not'??? Like today she wanted to put her rainpants on and I told her that it is not raining anymore, so she asks me, why not?? Good question. She is very much miss independent, 'do it myself' is another favorite sentence of hers. She is a big sister, sometimes too much. When Aaron is rolling over she rolls him back and says again. Or when he sucks his thumb, she takes it out and says:'daddy says no!!'She tries to set him up so he can learn sitting, that doesn't always end up good. As for Aaron he is our little sunny boy. He loves watching people and when they look at him he gives a shy smile, such a little flirt. He can role over both ways so changing his diaper has become a challenge, especially when Natalie wants to put the diaper on.
Todd as some of you might know got called second counselor in the Bishopric so he is little more busy and work is challenging but, good. Plus he started school again, so he is busy and tired. Christina is busy with the kids and getting back in shape, (eating Chocolate icecream doesn't help :)))

I am not going to go into any detail, as I think that is Christina's right and duty, but here he is.
We are very very tired and happy and so is our little Natalie. She is still trying to get a hang of it all, but is learning quickly. We will fill in with more detail as we talk with everyone.

Long awaited pictures

This is Natalie enjoying her swiss chocolate Easter Bunny. As you can see, she has not quite realized that chocolate melts in your hands and not in your mouth.

Chocolate Monster.

Our bike tours that we do here in switzerland are so entertaining that Natalie often falls asleep and makes it quite hard to ride when her helmet is jabbing in mommy's back.

Natalie and "Dadadada" at the shooting range, not shooting guns or anything like TJ would, but rather picking flowers for mommy.

OK last post for a while

Here is the little one really wetting her pants from giggling to much.

And here are some more pictures of Switzerland and where we had our pictures taken.

OK, so Natalie likes to chew on things alright, but do not mistake her for anything else than a fierce warrior. Oh ya, and sometimes she gets a little scared of the competition and really lets it shine through her clothing.

These are some pictures we took of our little family on the Bodensee. This is were Christina and I had our wedding pictures taken in Switzerland and where we had the little boat take us out on the lake for the ring ceremony.

As I promised: MORE PICTURES

2008-03-22T14:12:00.001-07:00

Sorry, but this post consists of only pictures. I know that all of you were awaiting my witty humor and amazing use of the English language, but I have not time for silly things like this. I engulfed myself with other matters, such as changing diapers and cleaning throw-up. Chow.

Apologies to all overzealous bloggers

Well seing as this is my first blog on my first blogspot, apologies are in order. Seeing that my entire family has been sucked into the newest internet crave, I guess I might as well be the latest victim in this lemming-like behavior. Christina and I have been loving life over here in Europe. It has been freaking cold this winter, but our winter coat of hair is falling off and we actually saw some sun for the first time in a couple of days. Natalie has been a trooper, but she needs some lovin` from the sun. We miss our family in the states and many of the American bad habbits, such as eating out and watching well-made sitcoms (and for me the sports). Soccer is great and all, but there is no comparison for March Madness. I am getting my dose lately with the help of CBS airing the tournement online. I have long held back on posting pictures of our little family, so I am going to let ya`ll have it in one shotgun blast. We love ya`ll and miss ya and we will see ya in June.
