3 Year Anniversery!

Three years ago today was one of the hottest days of the Summer, our wedding day! Aside from the incredible heat it was a beautiful wedding, the best wedding I have ever been to. We got married on Jeff's  parents farm on August 8, 2009. Even if you were not at our wedding you may remember the heat that day. It was so hot sweat just dripped without even moving and in the afternoon there were storms that created tornadoes in Mound, not to far from us. The storm missed us but we did get a quick rain shower (that cooled everything down) and some INCREDIBLE looking clouds!

Jeff is one of the most amazing people I know. Here are some things that make him so amazing!

He can do Just about anything he sets his mind to and do a good job at it.

He is alway willing to help others out when they ask.(but he isn't quick to ask for help)

He has almost gutted and re-built our whole first floor of the house.

He built me a really cute shed.

He can fix just about any computer problem.

He works very hard at everything he does.

So much so that just about everyone that stops working with him want him to come work with them at their new job.

He is supporting the family.

He is alway there when I need him.

He is an amazing cook and the best griller I have met or at least tried their grilling. (sorry dad)

He can hunt and fish.

He loves me.

He is crazy about our kids.

He can tell you who is singing on the radio just by the persons voice.

He isn't afraid to try new things.

He is my best friend.

He wants to move to a farm with me, and let me get animals.

He supports things I want to do.

These are just a few things I can think of.

I love my Jeffrey so much! I'm so glad I get to grow old with him

(sorry about the blog over load life have been crazy busy)

Kral Family Trip to Madeline Island

July 28th- August 2nd the kids and I were at Madeline Island with my family.

We stayed at this really nice house on Lake Superior. Almost everyone was there we were just missing a few key people, John, Leslie, Ashley and Jeff.

(Natalie on the ferry ride to the island)

She loved being on the ferry and was talking about it for days after. The house that we stayed at was right on the lake and had amazing views.

The kids really liked playing on the beach.

Their cousins liked playing in the water, even though the water was freezing cold.

 Charlie really, really liked being on the porch! Any time the doors were open from the house to the porch he would crawl over and go out on the porch.

Natalie, Charlie and I went on a walk one day and we saw and 8 point buck run across the road. Later that day My dad some of the girls and I went on a bike ride then we brought the girls back when they were tiered and we went back out on a 14 mile long bike ride. While we were gone my mom was watching my kids, my niece Zoe put Charlie to sleep so my mom and Natalie went outside to play and while they were playing a black bear came walking down the driveway!!! So My mom grabbed Natalie and ran inside as fast as she could.

We also had a birthday dinner for Natalie and I made homemade macaroni and cheese, fruit salad, brats and hot dogs.

I also made an Ice cream cake for her with home made almond macaroons, chocolate ice cream, I made my grandmas fudge sauce, and my mom and I made coffee ice cream because they didn't have it in the store and she brought her ice cream maker, and then there is a layer of crushed heath bars on top.

So yummy!

Natalie got some fun blocks for her birthday and was playing with some of her cousins on our last night there.

Then we came home just in time for Jeff to spend Natalie's real birthday with her.

All in all it was a nice trip and we had a nice time with my side of the family.

I Have a Two Year Old!

Natalie Mikayla is two as of Friday, August 3rd. 

 (She was such a little peanut)

Its mind blowing how fast time flies, it seems like yesterday she was just born and now she is two!

Natalie is one of the most amazing little people I have ever met, I know she is my kid so I'm biased. 

So I'm going to list some of the ways that makes her such a cool little girl.

She remembers everyones name even animals that she has met.

She loves to give kisses the people that she loves.

She loves dirt and she likes to help me garden, she even helped grandpa Hoeft plant potatoes this Spring.

She can tell you every farm animal even some non-farm animals noise and point to what the animal looks like and tell you what animal it is.

She can say most of the alphabet and even point out some letters.

She can say quite a few numbers.

She always asks where everyone is before she falls asleep, and when I say everyone I mean it if she knows you or your pet she will ask where you are.

She is very smart and if she feels like talking she will tell you about everything she can think of.

She is very shy but once she warms up she is the biggest sweetheart.

She loves to help me with different chores around the house, She really likes helping with the dishes aka playing in a sink of water while I do the dishes and turning on the water for me when I ask her to.

She LOVES her dogs.

 Every time we goto Jeff's parents she asks to go on the 4 wheeler and then she will even ask grandpa to drive on the road.

She gets really excited when she sees or hears motorcycles, planes and tractors.

She loves, loves, loves having books read to her.

She will tell you everything she sees as you drive past and then ask where it went when she can't see it any more.

She loves it when mommy and daddy sing to her and will even request songs for us to sing.

She gets very concerned if something happens to Charlie... (Meaning I'm holding 2 crying kids instead of one).

She is aware of everything around her.

and She is my favorite little girl, I'm so lucky to be her mom
