Sea World

We had such a great time at Sea World...My dad was the one taking the picture so he was not pictured.. I hadn't been to see world in like 15 years. Kali loved it!! Especially touching the animals and the Shamu Show!!
At the entrance, some of us. We went with my family & Brian's family. I am so thankful we get along so well & can travel together...I think this is like the 3rd of 4th trip with both families...


Grandma Marilyn & Grandpa Chad at the Shamu Show!!

Willie's Homecoming

I just thought these pictures where to cute not to post. This is on the Sunday morning before Willie's homecoming. I wish I would have gotten more pictures but this is all i GOT...

Mowing Crew

One great thing about my dad & brothers is they are always helping out others. I don't think there is ever a time where they just mow there yard and do there own yard work. They are always looking for someone who might need help that week. It seems to be always someone different. I look up to these qualities they show... Thanks boys for being such a great example.

Kali is trying to get in on the law care....

He has 5 grandson's and 2 great grand children. He has created an amazing legacy that will try and uphold to. He is someone Brian' respects & loves so very much. So many great memories for Grandma & Grandpa Lindsay.

Cougar Time

Well football Season has almost come & gone. We have such a good time waiting for game time of the cougars. Kali can now sing the cougar fight song...and her favorite part is raw raw, raw raw raw.....go COUGARS!! Something that has been so fun to watch. Anything that has the logo of BYU...She immediately looks at me and says, mom BYU!! You LIKE?? Another funny thing Kali says...Mom is it saturday? If I say Yes, she will say...GAME DAY!! We don't brain wash or anything...

Welcome Home Willie

We are so excited that Elder Willie Pratt is HOME...He came home on September 22nd from serving in the Jackson, Mississippi Mission Spanish Speaking. He had a great time on his mission and learned to love the people of Mississippi.

My dad was going to have to miss him coming home. He had a work assignment in Tennessee and his boss told him he really need him to be there. So my dad was just going to have to see him the next day when he flew in. Well if anyone knows my dad his kids and family are the most important thing to him. He made arrangements to meet willie in Atlanta where Willie had to catch a connecting flight. Willie had no idea, as far as he knew he would have to see my dad the next day. Well my dad was patiently waiting for Willie to connect in Atlanta, when he saw him & Elder Havik my dad went up behind him and tapped his shoulder and said, "Elder" Willie turned around and immediately started speaking Spanish...lol then he realized it was dad. They were able to sit by each other on the plane for the next 4 hours and catch up. We sure missed him & we are glad he is home safe.

Kelli & Kali with our homemade welcome home signs!!

Jeff was waiting at the top of the escalator. I think he was excited as anyone. They are truly the best of friends!!

Brian & Seth will Seth's professionally done sign. He works at a place and made Willie a sign.

Mom patiently waiting the arrival of WILLIE

Here they come (Dad, Willie & Jeff)

Mom & Son reunite, what a sweet thing.

Kali hugging Willie. Willie left when Kali was just 5 months old. She couldn't wait to see this kids that everyone talked about that was on a Mission!!

The Pratt family together at last--minus Marci who was on her way up after class. She is in the nursing program at Snow College and couldn't get away!!

Father, Son, Brothers...Sweet!!

Surrey Circle has a sign done for everyone who comes home either from a mission or the military...

This is the sign Brian, I & Kali created for him. Brian's idea was to do the Mississippi flag, I thought it turned out pretty good.

This is Willie just getting home for the first time. He said he had to put the glasses on, he traded them with another missionary for the sleepless night pillow (or so they called it) they are real versatchi glasses that he was pretty proud of....( For an 80 dollar pillow, I guess it was worth it) lol

Home at last!!

Doesn't take long to get back on the cell phone. Looking pretty tired, left Mississippi that morning at 4:00 a.m.

Marci made it home just in time for a quick photo...

Tending Cooper

ast month I got the pleasure of tending Cooper a few mornings...We had such a great time with him. Kali & Cooper are learning to play well with one another...I even ventured out and put them both in the tub. I wish I would have gotten a picture. (But I didn't dare leave to get my camera). When I was styling Cooper's hair... I put some hairspray and he was like "what in the world"...Sorry Tiff, I am sure you don't use hairspray...I am just used to having a GIRL... But I know I need one of each for sure.

Grandpa Pratt's 85th Birthday Party

My Grandma Pratt turned 85 on the 21st of September. She is a remarkable lady. All of us grandkids look up to her very much. She is kind, assertive, loving, determined & has lived a very good life. She has been a widow for 26 years. Which is something I can't even imagine. She is such an example to all of her legacy. She is always on the go & doesn't miss out on much. We have been so blessed to have her around us in our life. My uncle & aunt Pryor put on a little party for her. The food was delightful as for my uncle dean is a great cook. We love Grandma Pratt so much. Here a few pictures from the party.

I have been getting a few good deals here and there but I am still in the process of learning how it all really works..Well today I got the best deal yet...I went to Rid Aid and there was a coupon a few weeks back for Buy one get one free Cover Girl makeup. Well Rid Aid is having a sell Buy one get one free....So that spells FREE...all you do is pay the sells tax....Here is my receipts & product to prove it. My only regret is that I only had 2 papers that week... So $27.16 dollars worth of product...I paid.....93 CENTS...Plus I bought Kali a candy bar for .50 totaling....$1.43
NOW THAT IS A DEAL

Tending Cooper

The other day I got to watch my little Nephew Cooper. He was so fun to have at our house. Kali played Play-dough while Cooper watched and laughed. They are to cute together. Grandma Carter is now watching them both one day a week together so they have really started becoming best friends. So dang cute how they follow each other around & just how excited they get to see each other.



Tell me these two are not so cute!!
