Audrey's Scooter


Audrey talked us into a new scooter! She loves to wear her helmet, knee and elbow pads all the time. She is still riding on one foot, but she loves it!

Go Spurs Go!



Well, the Laker's took us out of the series before we could make it number 4, but we had a great season anyway, and Dave and I have gotten season's tickets for next year, and can't wait! Maybe I can talk him into Rampage tickets for next year!

Red Wings Hockey 2008 - Part 2






Here are a few photos from Stanley Cup Finals at our house. We are getting ready for the cup to come home!

Red Wings Hockey 2008 - Part 1




Dave was fortunate enough to go to a playoff game in Denver this post season. Also, Dave and I were able to see them in the playoffs in Dallas and had a great time. Here are a few pics from that game. We wanted to go and see them at the Joe for a final game, but thanks to Illich, tickets were outrageous!

Memphis...Sun Studios



We had the chance to stop by the legendary Sun Studios.

Memphis...Zoo





We stopped by the Memphis Zoo to see the panda bears. The zoo is really beautiful, and the panda's were on loan from China. Audrey loved them, and now we have to take her to see Kung Fu Panda on Friday! LOL

We were also able to get up close to the Kimodo Dragons which are my favorite animals. They were magnificent.

Memphis..Graceland





On the way back to San Antonio, we stopped in Memphis for a few days...
We went to Graceland. It was smaller than I thought, but the decor was what I imagined. Gaudy, tapestry on the ceiling, and shag green carpet on the walls leading to the "jungle room". Audrey enjoyed the horses outside, and it was interesting to see the gold records, and memorabilia. One trip is enough to say we saw it, but nothing impressive for us.

Michigan...






We made it to michigan, and had a great time with the family. Here are just a few pictures from the trip. Some at Grandma and Grandpa's, the Toledo Zoo, and the trip to Mecca.

Road Trip to Michigan....



Well, we decided to take the girls to Michigan for Memorial Day, and our first adventure was getting there! Aside from the speeding ticket I received in Arkansas, we managed to see a few roadside attractions along the way. Pictured here is the Starship Pegasus, which is located next to a Texas Smokehouse outside of Dallas. That place served the best cajun alligator jerky Dave and I have had. Also, right down the road is "Bruce" the US's largest concrete caterpillar.

Busted!!!


OK, I had to put this one up! We went to the zoo today, and she was playing in the river bank sand and she just looks like she is busted for something. I am not sure what she thought I busted her doing, but it looks pretty serious!!!

Audrey Flies Her First Kite!!!




We went out and Audrey flew her very first kite! She has a Mickey one OF COURSE!!! She loved it, and loves chasing the kite while it is in the air! I was so proud of her for being brave enough to handle the kite and get it flying on her own, after a little help from Nana!

The Pratt Pack....



Here is Audrey's new favorite in our house! She calls him Sammy Lammy Ding Dong! He is my mom and dad's newest puppy!



Here is Bucky. He is the newest member of the Pratt House. He is one of my mom and dad's dogs. We are happy to have him!



Here is Roscoe...the Cha Cha Roanie...as Audrey calls him Big fat Bologna. Cute though for bologna!



Here is Logan....he is my baby boy! He's just plain awesome!



Here is Daisy...she is suffering from a systemic yeast infection common in female shephards. I have put her on a new holistic diet of avocado, lamb, and brown rice. Also I have put her on some new enzymes and am giving her bio-pack in order to create good bacteria in her system. Hopefully we will have some great before and after photos of Daisy when she is better!!

The Will of the 3 1/2 Year Old!!!!!


Well, we have rounded the corner of toddlerhood with Audrey. The will of the 3 year old is way more than we expected. Although she is imposing her will upon us, we can at least look at it as a prelude to her little sister Eva in a few years! Although the worst thing that seems to be happening is her sense of fashion. I am no longer allowed to purchase and pick out her clothes for her. She has her own sense of style!

The one thing we have had to do is put child locks on the doors since she is now an escape artist! It has been enjoyable too...she says some hilarious things, and now that we have this wonderful new gadget for sending videos on the internet through email, (thanks grandma and grandpa!) we can bring you in all her glory in full color!

We decided to take her out of daycare until we find a pre-k program when she turns 4. We were very unhappy with some of the behavior she was coming home with. Within 2 days of being home, she went back to being her sweet self, and we were relieved. Now I am working with her at home, and she is starting to write her letters and numbers. Her cutting skills have improved so much, and she stills loves her music and art time!

Gardening....Schmardening....!!!!!





Well, after purchasing the house over 2 years ago and living with the unbalanced bushes put in by the builder, I couldn't take it anymore. I had to do something about the yard. I rented a tiller, and realized that gardening in Texas involves a pick axe instead of a shovel. After digging in the backyard and finding an actual road underneath our yard, I thought the front would have been easier. HA!!!

I finally got around to putting in some native cactus's and plants here. Dave and I decided to put in a crate myrtle and a prickly pear cactus. These we learned from the Texas Almanac are the state plants. We searched for that prickly pear everywhere. I found a spineless one, but Dave had to have the real thing. We put some Yucca cactus's in the back yard, in response to the dogs trying to dig out!

So, here are some pictures of the new yard! I haven't finished the retaining wall, we need another layer. I am glad we are finished since it is now May and about 95 degrees everyday!

The Napping Pratts...





I have never seen a group of people better at napping than my family....

It doesn't matter when or where, these Pratt's will sleep anywhere and everywhere! Especially the big one in the middle!

Eva's First Food!!!



I can't believe Eva is almost 5 months old now. She has had some stomach valve problems, and is taking Axid for it. She is finally starting her solid foods and her first try was rice cereal and sweet potatoes. (well any good southern girl eats sweet potatoes first!). She moved on to banana, peas...(NOT a personal favorite of hers), pears, and now squash. She is eating well, and we have been told her stomach valve is getting stronger every day!

She has been rolling over for about 2 weeks now, and is on her way to crawling soon!
