Sweet Corn!

Natalie loves her sweet corn!

Salsa

We made fresh salsa on Saturday. We didn't have a recipe so here's what we used. It was very tasty and found out it was delicious with whole wheat Ritz crackers. (We ran out of chips.) I have to give Jesse the credit as he did most of the work.

2 large beef steak tomatoes
2 medium roma tomatoes
2 banana peppers
2 green peppers
2 red peppers
1 sweet onion
2 ears of sweet corn - from the grill
2 garlic shallots
cilantro
lemon juice - 2 lemons

The N.E.W. Zoo

We took Natalie to the N.E.W. Zoo in Suamico, Wisconsin (just north of Green Bay) a few weeks ago. We got there early...fed a few of the animals, her favorite animals to feed were the big 'goldfish'. She didn't really enjoy the animals niffin' (sniffing) her hand. I was able to feed a giraffe, that was pretty cool. They are one of my favorite animals but of course I didn't get a picture.

If you ask Natalie what she liked about the zoo she will tell you, the train. We took the 10 minute train tour (it's not a very big zoo) and she loved it. She didn't say a word the entire ride.

We had some ice cream, she also loved that, and we were home before lunch. It was starting to get busy when we were leaving...just in time to get out.

Here are a few pictures from the zoo...

They were playing hide and seek.

Natalie loved the jungle gym.

This was one crazy duck.

Choo Choo!!!

Nice shades!

GO PACK GO!

Yes, I am still a Packer fan. I live in God's country (according to my dad)! I do miss Favre...but the season must go on. I wish him all the best with his new team. GO PACK GO!


The Lovely Ladies...(Left to Right) Me (Liz), Valerie (co-worker/friend), Gretchen (friend) and Jenn (co-worker/friend)

I was able to go to the first pre-season game on August 11, 2008 with a few of my friends. We had a blast. I was pregnant for the three games we went to the first year we lived in "God's Country". It's completely different when you can enjoy a beer or two or three...I think you get the point. I had a really good time!



Here I am with Gretchen, her husband Tim, grew up with Jesse and they live in Green Bay. At this point, I've had a few and borrowed the helmet from the awesome Packer fan who was lucky enough to sit in front of us.


Here I am with two of my co-workers. On the left is Valerie, she likes to help us out by watching Natalie when we need a baby-sitter. We really appreciate the help and Natalie loves to hang-out with her. On the right is Jenn, she used to sit in the cubicle next to me until I switched departments. I miss being able to talk with her everyday. She is a great person and tons of fun!
