4 Months of Catch Up... Whew!

So I have about 4 months worth of pictures to catch up on so I'm going from the most recent to the oldest. I definitely didn't put up all that I could've but there are still a ton so . . . Here it goes! My Grandpa Reynolds turned 80 on October 19th so we went over to my mom's house for a little surprise party for him. We had a huge surprise party just this past Sunday but this was the decoy party. Pratt is now 8 months old and is so big. I can't hardly believe how fast the time has gone by. He is starting to crawl slowly and he loves everything that he probably shouldn't have, such as paper, plastic, remote controls, phones... he's so funny and I just can't get enough of my baby boy. We think he weighs about 20 lbs now. I can't believe he's getting so big. He loves giving me huge smiles when he wakes up in the morning or when I get him up from his naps. Those smiles get me through the day. He LOVES to eat. He makes the most hilarious noises when he eats because he loves his food so much.

My mom got my grandpa some balloons for his birthday. Pratt loved those and grandpa loved to play with him.

As many of you know Tyson's sister and I decided to surprise his mom for her birthday and paint a huge portion of her house. We had Tyson's dad take her out of town for the weekend and we painted out butts off for 2 1/2 days straight. I'm pretty sure I got about 10 hours of sleep in 3 nights. We were so exhausted after but the look on her face was priceless. Thanks to all who came and helped! We also had a birthday dinner ready for her when she got home and dessert. It was so much fun but next time I think we'll spread it out a little bit more. Here are some before and after pictures. Here's her kitchen before

Her living room before.

This is Ty's mom walking into the house. I didn't get a picture of the family room before but it was just an offwhite color. Now it's a pretty blue.

The living room now. This was the morning she was coming home. As you can tell we worked up to the last second. There's still some blue tape on the wall.

We went to Cherry Hill the last weekend in August. It was so much fun and Pratt loved the water. We weren't sure how he was going to do with the colder water. He loves his baths but those are always warm. He didn't mind it at all.

Tyson even took him under a little water fall and he just sat there.

We always go to Park City in September for Swiss Days. I didn't pull out my camera very much I guess but here are a few at the hotel and at the swimming pool. This is Grandpa and Pratt.

Pratt with grandma. He loves the water!

I just love this picture. Tyson got a blanket out of the dryer and wrapped it around Pratt. Isn't my little baby boy adorable?

Like Father Like Son

We went to a BBQ when my cousin Jami was in town from Ohio over the summer. This is her baby Emri and Pratt. They are a day a part in age and friends for life.

Last but not least this is at the Wintle Reunion. Pratt and Brynlee made some hats (or their moms did.) These two don't look like it in this picture but they love each other. Check out the next one :)

Life has been crazy the last few months but so much fun. I can't believe Saturday is Halloween. I can't wait to see how Pratt reacts to this fun holiday. Stay tuned in the next week or so for pictures of our little Peter Pan.

Crazy days!

So this past weekend has been a crazy fun experience. Tyson's sister and I came up with a crazy plan to surprise his mom for her birthday and paint her house. In order to do this we had to get Ty's dad to take her away for the weekend. So Roland took Chris up to Midway to The Homestead from Thursday to Sunday afternoon. So Thursday after they left Megan and I went to work. With a lot of help from friends and family (thanks everyone!) We were able to pull off painting most of her house in 3 days and having a birthday dinner and dessert ready for her on Sunday when she got home. Granted I got about 10 hours of sleep total in those 3 nights but it was totally worth it when she walked in and we saw her face. I know I haven't had pictures up for awhile. I'll try to get some up in the next little bit. Things have been crazy in our house and I thought I'd lost our camera but found it last week. So pics to come:)

Last Day!

Last day to order hatts at 10% off. Email jill@prattshatts.com

F.Y.I

Hey guys,
Just a little info if anyone is interested. I am now making adult sized hats. I don't have them on the website yet so it's the same deal. If you are interested, order straight through me. They are super cute. The prices for those will be $25 for the earflap and $20 without. I will also do the 10% off deal through Oct. 14. Thanks!

Brrr!!!

It's cold outside. I love the fall weather. Snuggling up on the couch with a good book and a heavy blanket. Soup and hot chocolate! Watching the rain fall. Hoodies and football games. I love this time of year! Sorry my posts have been less frequent. I lost our camera! We took it to Park City over Labor Day weekend and I haven't seen it since :( I'm so so sad. I'm going to have to ask Tyson for an early Christmas present I think because I can't be without a camera for Pratt's first Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It just can't happen. Luckily we still have the video camera for all of his firsts. I think he may start crawling soon. He keeps bouncing around on his hands and knees. I like him being immobile. I don't know how I feel about him moving around so much more these days. I want my baby to stay a baby but he's so big. He's already 7 1/2 months old. Where does the time go? Pratt loves to play in his jumper and goes crazy wild. It's hilarious! He loves eating his cereal and anything orange or white. He's not a huge fan of the green stuff and hates meats. Occasionally I can get him to eat some green beans but very occasionally. He's started using his mouth even more and now his favorite thing to say is Ba ba ba ba ba. I feel so blessed to be his mama. He is the sweetest most lovable little guy in the world and I can't believe how much I love my little man. What did Tyson and I ever do before we had him?
On a side note and because you know I just have to....fall is the perfect time to get some cute little hatts for your little ones. If you order straight through my e-mail jill@prattshatts.com I will take 10% off through Oct. 14 and deliver them straight to you if you live in the Ogden/Layton area. The catch with ordering through me is that I can only accept check or cash. If you order through the website you can pay with credit card but I don't know how to make it do the 10% off. So.... ya I guess I'm still trying to figure things out. I hope to get some orders soon and thanks again for all of the love and support of all my friends with my new budding little business!
Happy Fall!!!
