Congratulations to Auntie Dan Dan & Ross!

Going to the Chapel and Dan Dan...weeeent and got maaaried!

We spent last weekend in our hometown of Glendive, MT for Ryan's sister's wedding! His little sister, Dan Dan (Danielle) has been dating Ross for 7 years and finally tied the knot! It was so nice to be a part of their special day. Ryan was an usher and did an excellent job keeping people ushered. :) The bride was absolutely STUNNING. She is such a beautiful Auntie. We had a great time spending all weekend with Ryan's family and just enjoying each other. It was a very nice time for all.

Unfortunately, my camera died after only a few pics, so I had to steal a couple photos for the blog. BUT, http://www.gannonphotographyonline.com/ did the pics, so I think I know where I can find some more when they are done!

Congratulations Danielle & Ross! We love you!

KGK Visit & The Boys Go Hunting!

I am trying to update this blog a little more often, so here's my first go. :) I ordered a book of my blog that should arrive soon, so I thought it would be fun if it were updated more often. :)

Last weekend was the last few days of archery elk season here in WA, and Ryan had yet to get out, so he was granted a leave of absence from the Nagle household for 2 days. :) He invited his friend, Kris, from Idaho and my brother, Kyle. The boys had an awesome time even though it rained on them ALL weekend. But, alas, no elk. :(

Kelli came out with Kyle and we had a nice girl's weekend. We dined out, watched chic-flicks, and shopped. We were successful in all things. We did notice one thing about Tatum - and this is terrible news - she does NOT like to shop. Our little princess would rather be running around outside, playing in the dirt, hanging in the shop, or doing anything BUT shopping. She complains the whole time! I woner if she'll always be a tomboy or if she will get diva-fied over time? Only time will tell...

It was a nice weekend of relaxation. :)

Princess Bug is officially the big 2! We can't believe it! Oh sweet Tatum Bug, how we can remember the day you were born:

You came a few days early on a full moon. It was over 100degrees that day and we were H-O-T! After contracting all day, I finally got into a birthing pool at around midnight and you joined us at 4:45 AM. You were so precious, innocent, beautiful. We loved your little ears that are just like your daddy's. We loved your little Nagle nose. We loved your sweet, perfect pink lips. We loved that you were a girl. We loved your smell. Your Daddy used to smell your neck as often as he could. We loved every little piece of you...and we still do...2 years later...

Now, you are a BIG girl. You love to giggle, scream, play, jump, run, walk, smell, and just be a sweet little girl. We love your smile, your lips still perfect, sweet and pink. We love your ears, still just like your Daddy's. We love your cute unmistakable Nagle nose. We love your smell, especially after your bath. We still smell your neck, even though it doesn't smell quite like it did the day you were born. We love your giggle. We love our conversations. We love that you say "please" when you want something and "thank you" when you get something. We love that you understand us. We love you baby girl.

You have said some hilarious things this past month or so. One Sunday morning you & Daddy woke up early and were snuggling. Daddy rubbed your head and you said, "Easy Tiger." Pugsley always runs by you very quickly and sometimes knocks you down! One day, and many times since then, you said "Chill Out Pugsley." ONe day when we were in the car with Nana, she mentioned that she forgot something at the house. You said "Come on Nana!" You make us giggle and laugh out loud. We love your attitude, your personality, and the Tatum Bug that you are.

Princess Bug, we can't wait to see what you bring to us in the future. Thank you for giving us the most amazing two years we have ever had. We can't wait to see what the TWO's bring us.

Love you baby girl,

Your Mama and Daddy

Born in the U-S-A

Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone had a safe & fun holiday! We spent the weekend camping on the north fork of the CDA River with my parents. Even though the weather didn't cooperate, we had a great time hanging by the campire, hiking to the falls, and fishing! Ryan taught me to fly fish and I caught one!

My monster fish

I see some game!

Happy Fishers!

Camping with AMAZING friends!

So I haven't blog updated in a LONG time other than my little letters to Tatum. I thought now would be a great time to update with some new photos! We went camping last weekend at Round Lake with some great friends! We have known the Filly's since TBug was just a wee Bug and they introduced us to the Conrads! We had such a great time!

21 MONTHS

~Tatum Georgia Nagle, 21 Months~


It seems my only updates these days come in the form of letters to Tatum and about Tatum, so here is her update for 21 MONTHS!



Wow Miss Tatum is 21 months old. She's pushing the 2 mark in a BIG way. We can't believe it. As the summer approaches I vividly remember the summer I was pregnant with Tatum and the time near her birth. My how you have changed Tatum.



You love to T.A.L.K.! It's a constant thing with new words everyday. Some of your latest and greatest sayings are: "Bye, Bye Sucka" "Monkey's Binky" "Love you" "My Nana/Papa/Daddy/Mama" (depending on who you want to hold you at the time), and many more! Your vocabulary amazes me Tatum. It's so funny when we're out and I say, "Tatum, can you say hello?" And you respond, "No." Oh how we love that we can have a conversation with you. My favorite thing this month was when you got bit at daycare. I asked you "who did that to you?" And you told me! "Ro-Ro!" Now, even weeks later, you point to your arm and say "RoRo bite." :)



You are one crazy little girl. You run, and you play, and you jump, and you keep us SO BUSY. Your Daddy & I have to tag-team you or we are exhausted! We are so lucky there are 2 of us. :)



Your new favorite toys are trucks & dolls. YOu are quite the well-rounded little gal. You love to play with trucks and fill them with sand and drive them all around the yeard. But you love yourself a little dolly! You especially love pushing the dollies in a stroller! You're such a good little mama. :)



This month we went to MONTANA by car to see all of our MT family. You were a great traveler! We spent about 6 hours in the car each day and you did wonderful! You spend some time watching DVD's and some time reading, and a little bit of napping too. But you rock the car trips like a trooper! We were so proud of you. And your MT family loved having you there to visit!



Tatum, we are so blessed with you, and we can't WAIT for a summer filled with fun! :)
