Since I want to remember certain things, I am going to write them down here. I never really started her baby book, which I really need to get caught up on, so I decided the blog would be the best place for now.
Natalee is a very smart child & she loves to be funny. Every once in a while, she will say something & you will look at her with the "what did you just say?" or the "how did you know that?" kind of look. I'm sure I will continue to update this list but for now this is just a few of the things I can remember she has said.
I asked Natalee the other day, what she wanted for her birthday. Her response..."A man."
We are trying to potty train, and have been doing good, but there are days that Natalee just doesn't want to do it. The other morning, I asked her if she needed to go potty before we got dressed. She said, "No. I'm a baby & I want to wear a diaper. And I want a pacifier." She hasn't had a pacifier for over a year & a half.
A couple of nights later, she was pottying right before bed. She looks at me with the dead serious, upset look & says "I'm not a big girl!" I told her she was and asked her why she thought that and she said "Because you put pull-ups on me all the time." She only wears pull-ups at night when she is at home!
We were sitting on the couch watching tv the other night & Natalee looks at Terry & says "Daddy, scratch my booby." He told her "That's your job." She says "No it's not. It's yours!"
Natalee's favorite song is "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. Don't ask, cause I don't know! Anyway, one night Terry let her watch the video on YouTube & put his headphones on. She was singing at the top of her lungs! It was hilarious! Especially since she didn't know the right words!
Natalee came home from the babysitter's one day & said her & Brody were going to the water park. I asked her when & she said "Two days". Everything happens in two days to her! Oh & she has her first crush! Brody is such a cutie & she is always asking for him to come to her house or for him to spend the night!
One night it was thundering real bad. Natalee was looking out the door & it thundered really loud. She looks at me & says "Momma is fundering. I not like the funders!"
We were in the grocery store last weekend & it was CROWDED! Natalee is on the phone with Papaw Callaway & she looks at me & says "I tooted!" I told her to hush cause there was a lot of people around. So she decided instead of keeping it to herself, she would let Nana know. Nana was on the other end of the aisle!
A commercial came on tv about the dangers of belly fat. As soon as it went off, Natalee says " I think Uncle Shane has that".

Vacation - Final Chapter
On Monday morning, we got up real early. We had reservations for Parasailing at 8:30 that morning. I wanted to go so bad, but I didn't, and now I regret it, but I'll do it next time!
Some of the scenery while riding the boat
Taking a boat ride! Her first one and she loved it!
Brandi, Callaway & Katie Lauren went up first. It was Katie Lauren & Callaway's first time, but Brandi had been before. KL was so scared when they first went up, but was fine afterwards. She said it was so much fun!
Getting ready to fly!
There they go!
Coming back in!
Next up was Dustin, Adam, Jeremy & Ryan. This was a first for each of them. They loved it!
Getting ready to go up!
Flyin' High
Takin' a dip in the water
After parasailing, we went to The Pancakery for breakfast. Their pancakes were HUGE! I mean the same size as the plate huge! And you got TWO! I knew I wouldn't be able to eat one so I just got the traditional breakfast, but Adam & Jeremy got the Chocolatier. It was two pancakes with chocolate chips topped with chocolate syrup & whipped cream. They looked too die for! And they probably were, but it had a LOT of chocolate! When we got back to the condo, Debbie, her family, granny ,mom & Brandi went shopping while Terry, Natalee & I got ready to go on our dolphin cruise.
We had to be at the dolphin cruise check in 30 minutes before the boat left dock. As you went onto the boat, you had your picture made, then found a seat. We left dock & explored the harbor before heading out to open waters to look for dolphins. We stopped a couple of places & didn't see anything. We finally found a big group of dolphins that kept us entertained. I didn't get any good pictures since my camera died, but I did get a few on my phone. The captain & crew were wonderful with the kids! They let each child have a turn "driving" the boat & they each got a certificate stating they were "Captain for a Day". Before docking, they let all the kids come to the front of the boat to pick a toy out of the "treasure chest".
Loading the boat to go look for dolphins!
After the dolphin cruise, we went back to the condo to meet up with everyone else. We then headed to Baytowne Wharf. It was so beautiful! They had a pond that had remote control boats. The "boys" played with that for a minute, then Terry, Natalee & I headed to find something to eat. The rest of the gang was going to eat at Acme Oyster House & we didn't want that, so we went to Poppy's Hammerheads Bar & Grille. OMG! Some of the best onion straws & a great prime rib! The rest of the gang ended up going to see all of the yachts & other high dollar boats, before going to eat. Acme told them it would be about a 2 hour wait, so they decided to eat at Hammerheads too. While they were eating, we went to the candy store & went walking around & window shopping in the other stores there. They had a kiddie area too. Natalee wanted to ride the merry-go round, but didn't want to ride any of the animals. Instead she wanted the race car! She wanted her daddy to ride with her, so he knelt down beside her during the ride. We walked around a little long then headed back to the condo. It had been a long but very fun & eventful day!
The next morning, we got up & got our bags ready to head home. We ate breakfast then did a little shopping before heading out. As we were about to leave, it started POURING rain! Luckily, it hadn't rained the whole time we were there! We took our time getting back home. We were in no hurry to go to work the next day! We stopped in Pensacola & ate lunch at Cracker Barrell. After that, we only made a couple of more pit stops to get gas & some snacks. We finally made it home around 9 that night. We took mom & Callaway to their house & unloaded their things then went home to unload ours. We were very tired from the ride, so we just went to bed. The unpacking waited til the next day!
