Backyard Aromatherapy

First Bloom

Geraniums always remind me of Grandma Prater

 

 Sunny Sunflowers

These were the garden successes this year. There were some failures too, but both Durango and I enjoyed digging in the dirt. I didn't actually plant the sunflowers, but they are pretty spectacular.

Bright Prater Wedding!

Natalie's Blessing

2 Months Old Today!

Two month old cutie pie!

This picture was taken on our walk with Kathryn around White Rock Lake in Dallas.

She seemed to enjoy the walk quite a bit! :)

This is one of the first smiles that I caught on camera.

Her first smile was on January 5th...for my mom. My eyes turned a brilliant shade of green.

Bath time is my favorite time of the day!

Look at me! I am so strong! :)

I can't believe that Natalie is now 2 months old! It has gone by so fast! Today she got three shots and an oral medication too... she was pretty sad afterwards, but calmed down quickly. She is still sore now and sleeping it off at the moment.

We are sure looking forward to seeing so much of the family at her blessing this weekend. It is going to be a blast! Aunt Kathryn came to visit us last week, and that was really fun too!

Natalie is wearing a little dress and bonnet that I wore as a baby that my Grandma Nancy bought for me before she passed away. It brought back memories for my mom. It is so fun that she is wearing clothes that I wore!

Christmas 2009

Christmas has come and gone, but it sure was fun while it lasted. Durango and I made the 10 hour drive to Salt Lake and lucky for him, my mom let him come in the house! He really enjoyed Savannah and Samuel (probably because they had so much sugar on their faces)! We missed having Nancy, Michael and Natalie with us, but we did get to video chat with them which was a lot of fun.

Beautiful Baby!

Baby Prater's Glamore Shots!

19 weeks along: This is a little hand waving, and can you see her folded little legs on the right?

23 weeks: This is a cute little foot!

23 Weeks: Pretty profile of Baby Prater's face!

19 Weeks: Front of face is looking a little scary, kind of like Jack Skellington, but that's ok.

11 Weeks: full profile... a tiny little raspberry sized baby, looking good!

So.... Michael and I decided that we should post some pictures of our super cute baby girl. She's still cooking, but we figured we share the happiness with you anyway! Hope you enjoy these glamore girl shots...

My next ultrasound will be September 10th. I'll be 27 weeks pregnant, and that is also glucose testing day for gestational diabetes.... I hope I don't throw up my fruit punch flavored glucose! Ewww... :)
