Okay, first of all excuse the photography of these images. I won't list all my excuses, but I will say that I just wasn't on my game. To begin with, I got my camera out at the game to capture the "cheerleader" in this little sweetheart only to discover in the mist of me making sure I had everything before I left the house (rain jackets, etc.) that I forgot my memory card. So I missed the first few shots that I really wanted to capture, but then I borrowed on from a good friend. Thanks, Delynn!
Natalie was so excited to see her Aunt Cari cheer (and Alexa too). She really wanted to be down there with them cheering. She really thinks she's a cheerleader too. She would follow their moves. This is the first game that Natalie got to attend this season with her Aunt Cari as cheerleader. I picked her up before the scrimmage, but it was cancelled because of rain. Cari was sick at the first game and then last week was out of town and Natalie didn't get in town until Saturday. So finally! Natalie gets to see her Aunt Cari cheer and she has a ball cheering too! It was a great game (even though we did lose and even if it was so muggy that I felt like I ran through a sprinkler by the time I left). [I just added another image since I just realized that I posted this image twice.]
Natalie loved seeing people she knew and giving them hugs. I wished I had a photo of her and every person she hugged. I would have a really long post if I did. LOL! She truly is the most hugging child I have ever known. Here she is with Tori. Tori had to go get her a Viking tattoo. Natalie is soooo into tattoos...much more than I care to mention. So, of course, she was thrilled to get a tattoo for her face! Thanks, Tori! Natalie loves you!
Saturday morning I had an outdoor portrait session scheduled and I had intended to leave Natalie sleeping and hoping that she would sleep as long as possible so that she wouldn't be in the way. Painting is still ongoing at my house. But after it finally got daylight, I see it was going to be too yucky to capture the beautiful wall portraits that I knew this client wanted. So I re-scheduled and then started trying to think of something for Natalie and me to do to get out of the house out of their way! We decided on the SATURDAY MORNING MOVIE PROGRAM at the Grande Theater in Alexandria. This was perfect! For $3.00: a movie, popcorn and a drink! Something for us to do that didn't cost a fortune. The movie was wasn't new movie, but it was new to me and Natalie. Cari has the movie, but I've never seen it; we saw "Spirit--Stallion of the Cimaron". After the movie we killed more time at Wal-mart, purchased a few things, then got lunch at Subway to take to the park.
but she got really excited when she saw this...
I had to make her eat and drink her milk before she could play.
I took just a few pics and then put my camera in the car so that I could play with her.
It was pretty and hot! We had a lot of fun and finally Natalie made some new friends and I was allowed to rest and watch.

They had their first Children's Church Service. We went to lunch at Nicki's. Natalie at beef tips. Poppa and Aunt Cari came home in her car and I met Natalie mommy and daddy in St. Francisisville. Natalie and I had ice cream while waiting on them.
It was a special weekend for Natalie and Mimi!
I love that little girl so much!
