Christmas Eve for us begins with our smorgasbord feast. We have everything from hot wings and steak to crackers and cream cheese topped with raspberry chipolte.

Our morning began @ 9:30a.m. With teenagers we all slept in and lounged around. It was a relaxing & enjoyable Christmas morning but sad to say this is the only photo (i took it last night before Bruce & I went to bed)...we didn't get one of the kiddos unwrapping their gifts.</div>

The impact from the crash on the wall behind the fridge. <br />
<br />
Sidney was doing an awesome job prior to the little fridge accident. She had mastered her road alignment, making her turns with precision, feeling quite confident. Upon completion of the drive we proceeded to park in the garage. <br />
<br />
Me, "slow down a little... a little more." <br />
Me, "slow down a little." <br />
Me, "Hit the Brake". Maybe not the best choice of words...since her foot was already on the brake. She punched the gas instead. <br />
Sidney, "I mixed up the gas and the brake". <br />
<br />
These pictures were taken after we emptied the packed fridge. The fridge was packed from the previous days Costco trip which included 6 gallons of milk, two bins filled with fruit, 5 dozen eggs. Lunch fixin's. Our fridge in the house is now busting at the seams. <br />
<br />
Every time I see these pictures I just laugh (I can now! many days later). I am grateful...not that our fridge was demolished but that the fridge stopped us from going right through the garage & onto our patio. When you think about it we saved so much money... we only had to pay $20 to take the fridge to the dump instead of who knows how much $$$ it would have been to repair the front of our van and a major hole in the back of the garage. It is true you can always find something positive out of a negative situation.natalie spratlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07380395581277530111noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761372412349238372.post-51423703934636899222012-02-10T14:46:00.000-08:002012-02-11T13:05:59.252-08:00EmbraceI was reading a blog today and read this quote, "embrace time spent together". So simple yet very profound. Maybe it is the events that have transpired in the last two weeks, the time spent with family, my children growing at the speed of light, I want to embrace, cherish, and not squander the time I spend with those I love - my husband, my children, family and friends. Time is speeding up. <br /><br />I don't know if it is just me but events happen in the blink of an eye. Birthdays fly by and since we celebrate all of my kids in two days, back to back, in February, they come and go in an instant. I want to slow down, take note and enjoy...be still.<br /><br />It seems like only yesterday that my sweet kiddos were clinging to my legs, needing me for everything. Now I am texting them, wondering when they will be home and busy trying to coordinate our schedules.<br /><br />I love the quote by Pres. Hinckley, "Life is ment to be ENJOYED, not just endured". <br /><br />Enjoying the time that I have in this life to experience, explore, not just endure to ENJOY...to cherish.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5aD6w7ucEvkvsOx936jXy1yzjvHBa-uqCmGB4hCiNvpcI9_A65TXcMQrR6IXG_arHHmkY0UaZl6fOhScDvVtoAguX0SpRCu8xNZim9hJDMUNtNS3NpdZZIooS0lFbB2ZN4PHbFV-XoL8/s1600/images.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 225px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5aD6w7ucEvkvsOx936jXy1yzjvHBa-uqCmGB4hCiNvpcI9_A65TXcMQrR6IXG_arHHmkY0UaZl6fOhScDvVtoAguX0SpRCu8xNZim9hJDMUNtNS3NpdZZIooS0lFbB2ZN4PHbFV-XoL8/s400/images.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707647670858579378" /></a>natalie spratlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07380395581277530111noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761372412349238372.post-24289759151171370802012-01-26T12:48:00.000-08:002012-01-26T13:54:24.173-08:00Natalie Spratling Photography<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgWgOyU82Oc-jxJ2XoG9evXhdnMp960qgAylm985ObVA4aiOKS4HFUnhwHoBQKC0nNDcJSxjlHwhYFQJiyM-mrBYkpOPa7EFyyuepYWTMFCw46uMyRpXOYdL-rQ0aLkKLbwifL8sdGrz4/s1600/IMG_0968-2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgWgOyU82Oc-jxJ2XoG9evXhdnMp960qgAylm985ObVA4aiOKS4HFUnhwHoBQKC0nNDcJSxjlHwhYFQJiyM-mrBYkpOPa7EFyyuepYWTMFCw46uMyRpXOYdL-rQ0aLkKLbwifL8sdGrz4/s400/IMG_0968-2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702048090114305586" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5wpJfRz5RXbxj-n4zSgwYIHspM7n2x2H68CXVhrbzkkG8_r-g3utK2sHGCSxmAdzjghEfECJzl7ycRrMez5y4PN6U_RTOQtI6qxuCHfQgMd0YPUnwW3ofXVt34_qu6cO5Leg11YFl26o/s1600/IMG_0955-2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5wpJfRz5RXbxj-n4zSgwYIHspM7n2x2H68CXVhrbzkkG8_r-g3utK2sHGCSxmAdzjghEfECJzl7ycRrMez5y4PN6U_RTOQtI6qxuCHfQgMd0YPUnwW3ofXVt34_qu6cO5Leg11YFl26o/s400/IMG_0955-2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702048075217173554" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGLckj2UOzGQ3pvSxmtySujlyNEJXRHwyFlxsPYxoB4sn71g5bfgfCpv3oDzbD3r6joWwXBuvkFmM99HdTDBMco8G3MYwfw5C0tyXz4mfhsM_Eyie8YfFB-f5FadRL9gpoTscbLGYgAE4/s1600/IMG_1007-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 293px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGLckj2UOzGQ3pvSxmtySujlyNEJXRHwyFlxsPYxoB4sn71g5bfgfCpv3oDzbD3r6joWwXBuvkFmM99HdTDBMco8G3MYwfw5C0tyXz4mfhsM_Eyie8YfFB-f5FadRL9gpoTscbLGYgAE4/s400/IMG_1007-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702048076128995186" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHIYt_sQBmt2z-f7LaAYOufEYBWHhSqXcDGqn-w_TIMEiG5xPbTXmbiYADPxyGuXcXQV4fU4liJJ2RhOfYSOtZtpNhVmqk-7fcIl-Kni1w6Gbv2oKKYOLhiWUmQaBHf4NrhioM1dqIrE0/s1600/IMG_1011-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHIYt_sQBmt2z-f7LaAYOufEYBWHhSqXcDGqn-w_TIMEiG5xPbTXmbiYADPxyGuXcXQV4fU4liJJ2RhOfYSOtZtpNhVmqk-7fcIl-Kni1w6Gbv2oKKYOLhiWUmQaBHf4NrhioM1dqIrE0/s400/IMG_1011-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702048069982094754" /></a><br /><em><strong>I am starting my own business.

I didn't attend a session. I was in the children's center with the sweet little children that were waiting to be sealed to their parents that day. I was with Gavin, age 4, for most of the morning. While he was coloring and enjoying a fruit snack...he looked at me with his sweet innocent smile and said, "your nice". It warmed my heart. Now if I can strive to be nice:<br /><br /><em>When things are not going my way<br />when everyone is not doing what I want<br />when life hasn't dealt me what I thought it should<br />when someone cuts me off<br />when someone misunderstands me<br />when I'm tired<br />when the house is a mess<br />when my teenagers don't want my advice<br />when someone has another opinion than mine</em><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote></blockquote>natalie spratlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07380395581277530111noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761372412349238372.post-53108691659475229822011-10-20T13:15:00.003-07:002011-10-20T14:11:07.542-07:00FALL PhotosIt is a four day weekend and time to enjoy ourselves....right after we get the kids photos done for the year. Not what they wanted to wake up and do this morning but at least they tried to make their mom happy and just do it. What great kids I have to just smile for the camera. We again visited my friends farm which is just across the road from us. It makes it so easy to just head on over there. I absolutely love this one of the kids. I just want to freeze them at this age. Life is passing me by way to fast, I just want to enjoy this time for a while. The weather was perfect and the fall colors are just beginning to appear.

<br />Hannah I think secretly loved cross country. She improved her time by 2 mins and by the end was running 7min+ miles. She says she is ready for a break. Also loving the freedom of high school. She is the peace maker of our family and can seem to smooth things over when no one is quiet getting me as the Mom. My beautiful brown eye girl.

<br />He is the stud of the family. Getting ready to start training for rugby, and just enjoying life. His sisters sure adore him and would do almost anything for him. He is my taxi cab driver, since he has his license he drives the girls everywhere...do they even need me? They have all become great friends.

We had the opportunity to walk Grandpa's wheat fields. While walking the fields you are looking for wild oats and other weeds that may be trying to hide amongst the beautiful wheat. Very seldom do you find a weed, there fields are immaculate! Such was the case this time. We did not get the chance to pull one weed. I snapped this photo of Bruce and his oldest brother Jay. It has a special place in my heart. This was a little bit of quality time Bruce spent with his brother this last summer, discussing farming. Last year Jay was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Most patients die within the first 3-5 months. Jay has made it past a year. Only 1% of those diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer live past a year. This truly is a miracle we count each day that he is with a blessing. We sure love you Jay. Your always in our thoughts and prayers.natalie spratlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07380395581277530111noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761372412349238372.post-22097997199863556912011-09-24T21:33:00.001-07:002011-09-24T21:48:25.003-07:00Oh, The EnergyOh, if I could have as much ENERGY as my kids...and their friends do.

She is the oldest grandchild, out of 24 on the Spratling side. Bruce's parents also have 14 great-grandchildren. That means I am Bowen and Ole's great Aunt...I knew I had to be great at something. <br /><br />She just had Bowen in June and they are doing fabulous. <br /><br />While we were there we went to the park and had a picnic. We just enjoyed being together. By the end of the day Ole was calling us all by our names, it was Naalee, Baylee, Hannah and Sid. We couldn't get enough of them. I don't think Melanie even got to hold Bo once that day. WE had so much fun.

I just can't get enough of her. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrYNAxD1Rz7tRO8yzJkSn5ajHwl20DACV8hCqkrVjER8x9Weeut2rVRcV1MauHz23z0Yv0FfNwj0UA6X3cZPO2mXkaCbUYaU2wvdIkhyKIIQOO4cudT6_WegpXoZJMfjfa_4u8nCI6RT0/s1600/P1180345-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 475px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrYNAxD1Rz7tRO8yzJkSn5ajHwl20DACV8hCqkrVjER8x9Weeut2rVRcV1MauHz23z0Yv0FfNwj0UA6X3cZPO2mXkaCbUYaU2wvdIkhyKIIQOO4cudT6_WegpXoZJMfjfa_4u8nCI6RT0/s400/P1180345-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628215010901513938" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCdzNRi-mRBKV5LjXUvmf2b9sbNg8mwVqes5xLmZzvgl8GOWPPyIM_DfRqTEBfTGt4itA3mstWCtub6H1jYqeX8V7EXsgWAPUxlzBmMHXgV_TyR-37I5W2dI_cuSUVIfx2GYqwE8J-mcI/s1600/P1180289-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCdzNRi-mRBKV5LjXUvmf2b9sbNg8mwVqes5xLmZzvgl8GOWPPyIM_DfRqTEBfTGt4itA3mstWCtub6H1jYqeX8V7EXsgWAPUxlzBmMHXgV_TyR-37I5W2dI_cuSUVIfx2GYqwE8J-mcI/s400/P1180289-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628214122612119330" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm2CZm3EjeqY54IXmz3tH7Q0nee27vjPuxs5OI4hnks0AMhjTkQJ4IV-4x24Kavt0_2HFuYhrWE_RFN2zWDK4f7i7JeUrBBTV4U13vlq77wt3aSBVtBEf6dO9cTmAOesO2YLvG1wFntRc/s1600/P1180354-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm2CZm3EjeqY54IXmz3tH7Q0nee27vjPuxs5OI4hnks0AMhjTkQJ4IV-4x24Kavt0_2HFuYhrWE_RFN2zWDK4f7i7JeUrBBTV4U13vlq77wt3aSBVtBEf6dO9cTmAOesO2YLvG1wFntRc/s400/P1180354-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628214119593260434" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRlgIW9GfapMDpZbmoc-NZZRS9gRVcXqh0GYbhhyEVhzjmp1-ADYKvuaAjJrNQUGoRn82qdGwVNAt9aK-313C0MNEHE2iA7LDYdjV1rgZLs1J4Vku_ehj6YagzGP-0Y0FIOtDjLF-N0wk/s1600/P1180447-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRlgIW9GfapMDpZbmoc-NZZRS9gRVcXqh0GYbhhyEVhzjmp1-ADYKvuaAjJrNQUGoRn82qdGwVNAt9aK-313C0MNEHE2iA7LDYdjV1rgZLs1J4Vku_ehj6YagzGP-0Y0FIOtDjLF-N0wk/s400/P1180447-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628214116201397010" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz3qT-yRtdMw_xKEFCKBTXwsbKevN9QTLL-sY4zXlL_PQ4b6SPDfQmBlkCGhMdOZwcU7ZXBC_Rbo5AjmVIXG2O73tK1g-538GCTwOmhKctJDAU6ddbhFyYsvnp6YwvzCGpcDGI23mxEiw/s1600/P1180437-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz3qT-yRtdMw_xKEFCKBTXwsbKevN9QTLL-sY4zXlL_PQ4b6SPDfQmBlkCGhMdOZwcU7ZXBC_Rbo5AjmVIXG2O73tK1g-538GCTwOmhKctJDAU6ddbhFyYsvnp6YwvzCGpcDGI23mxEiw/s400/P1180437-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628214112400912162" /></a>natalie spratlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07380395581277530111noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761372412349238372.post-75487428229549261252011-07-09T09:26:00.001-07:002011-07-11T15:30:16.000-07:00Just a sneak peak into our JuneIn the month of June we put over 5000 miles on our van. We visited Idaho 2x, Bear Lake, Utah, Oregon, and drove through Washington, ran a half marathon, enjoyed girls camp, and even walked Grandpa's wheat fields in Oregon. <br /><br />This is what Bruce did growing up. Hard work yet such a simpler time of life. It is so beautiful and serene up here. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimDnjQqYZbfsvg9QGgIcUzZSCWQQdlHrUS6-7k7eofRevG7XmesxRQc1983AMr_AaohN4JO5xmoTXGZFsE8wE3AL7komoTlZsCyRm3InsPHm3em8ThEAqd1gHum9rCSJm0JSNgGHP8vWU/s1600/family+reunion+june+2011+003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimDnjQqYZbfsvg9QGgIcUzZSCWQQdlHrUS6-7k7eofRevG7XmesxRQc1983AMr_AaohN4JO5xmoTXGZFsE8wE3AL7komoTlZsCyRm3InsPHm3em8ThEAqd1gHum9rCSJm0JSNgGHP8vWU/s400/family+reunion+june+2011+003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627390722211936482" /></a>The main reason for walking the fields is weeding out anything that doesn't belong.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5jph38xoHNtymR0__zRyFOPlQ_LZCWJgMg2C4xZHBBEnmPW-qGVvZ1KoJRsFj3mbCu6SRY-XoPWfPeoFdf8MOBGZxb8pEQ8CeFj_kXaBxg12YiZ63L2ZbNhjZjAJz7G77ddWmJ-9yVE/s1600/family+reunion+june+2011+008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5jph38xoHNtymR0__zRyFOPlQ_LZCWJgMg2C4xZHBBEnmPW-qGVvZ1KoJRsFj3mbCu6SRY-XoPWfPeoFdf8MOBGZxb8pEQ8CeFj_kXaBxg12YiZ63L2ZbNhjZjAJz7G77ddWmJ-9yVE/s400/family+reunion+june+2011+008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627390716648187938" /></a>It is kinda hard to find anything...Grandpa's fields are pretty clean.
