I am writing to share a few blogs with you all, I found a few things I will use for my blog & website. Cant wait till its updated. Hopefully sooner than later. Whats new with Samantha: This mama has been a busy one. My girls both are going through growth spurts! Hallie has always ate like a bird, and lately we call her the garbage disposal. Lillie has changed over the last week and nurses more often, I can hardly keep up but I do and I love every bit of it! I am so thankful and blessed for the life I live, they say if your happy and you know it clap your hands! Well its Defiantly a clap clap for me! The fair starts this Wednesday, my family is excited for that! We plan to go a couple of times throughout the fair, but defiantly going Thursday evening. Going to support the girls dancing in Jacques Dance expressions on the Pepsi Stage! The Rodeo is always fun. & I cant wait for a corn dog and funnel cake. This year I did not have time to enter anything in for the exhibits. I enjoyed doing the photography exhibit in the past, but sad to say I did not this year. We had our first garden & I would of loved to enter some of our yummy tomatoes, peppers, okra, corn, we even have huge sunflowers! But we were too late to enter ;( My Photography, and my family has kept me busy, but defiantly wish to enter next year! Justin’s Niece and Nephew will be showing there chickens, Hallie and I are going to try to go watch that. We wish them the best of luck! We know how hard they have worked on them! I have officially joined Baby Boot camp, I am in my second week. I give myself a pat on the back for doing it! Thought I could get back in shape on my own but I was not motivated, so with the help of Baby Boot camp I hope to get back to my wedding day figure
hahaha, its really not about that to me. I just want to be in shape, have a better attitude, and a ton of energy! My husband has noticed a difference already, so I am headed in the right direction! Well that is my Samantha Update! Now back to these awesome blogs I share with you:

Hallie just adores her Abbey! She is always asking for her to come over, so we had Abbey over for a sleep over! Justin put up a tent out back and we roasted marshmallows into the late late night. They thought they were really camping. When it came time for bed Hallie said mom I am NOT sleeping out here! So inside we went. Surprisingly they woke up super early, so I took there pictures this morning
These girls are the best of friends!

Lillie lane is 7 weeks old! She is such a special baby, so soft and content. She is so mellow and sweet. So far she is still our little Lazy Lillie. It amazes me how big she is getting. Her look has changed since she was born, defiantly has “the Prather” look. I see a lot of her daddy in her. I really do not see much of me at all other than maybe her eyes, they are still a blue gray, so maybe she will have my color eyes, Green? I see some of my brother in her but also see Justin’s Mom & Dad and siblings in her as well. She is a mix of us all. I love my mornings with her, most of the time its just us, Hallie girl likes to sleep in. She laughs at me and it makes my day! Here is Lillie 7 weeks old chillin in our garden, wearing the dress that Hallie wore at her 2 month pictures. My Grandma Verna bought it for Hallie. I like to see my Lillie in thing her sister wore it brings back good memories!

They will use it as there guest sign in book. The guest can sign anywhere they like! The cover is in Metallic and 20 page inside is Art Linen, easy for signing.

All different paper finishes, custom photo covers, fabrics, Metallic and Pearl finish!
If any of my clients are interested in adding this to there wedding package I can design you one, it can be for your guest book for my future brides, or I can do a regular wedding album for you or a parent album, I can also design books for babies, maternity, children, Seniors, and Families!

Its been almost 2 months since I had Lillie! My schedule has been packed with craziness! SO busy and always on the go go go! Everyone keeps telling me that I look great, well I appreciate there kindness but I know I can be in better shape! I nurse the little moo moo Lillie and that has helped me lose the weight, but I want to get in better shape! My friend Natalie Haskel let me know about this program, and I am really excited to join! Nat is a pole fitness instructor and also teaches Zumba. I kind of wanted to give those a try, but come on this mom on a pole, hahaha please! Always felt bad turning down the offer, and then when she let me know about baby boot camp I wanted to look into it! I want to do something for myself, I want to be committed to something and I think this is my first step! If any of my mommy friends want to join me, please do! I think it is a great opportunity to get in shape and you get to have your kids be apart of it! I read that the dads can come to the sat morning class! I cant wait!!! go check it out!
