FLASHBACK Friday




These images have never been worked up, edited or anything. I just found them in my files. This FLASHBACK is from about a year ago. That's a dear friend of mine, Tanya, who loves my little sweetheart too and Viking football. Natalie is sporting her custom made cheerleader suit that I had designed to mimic Cari's last year.

Today a friend of mine had a photo of her son wearing his football jersey with jeans. It was apparently of photo of him before school. And I also saw a photo of a cheerleader on fb too. Since it is Friday this is the day that the kids wear to school what they wear to the games. It is kind of sad to me that my cheerleader isn't still in high school wearing her cheer uniform to school today. And that Natalie isn't wearing her precious little cheer suit to the game! But life never stays the same. It's always changing. That's how God planned it and I am at peace with that!

Flashback Friday (06.27.06)

Natalie strutting her purple swimsuit and purple swim goggles before a swim in the pool. Personally, I never seen a girl any cuter in a purple swimuit. [Approximately 3 years ago!]

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: A dip in the pool...

"We interupt BACKTRACKING MODE to bring you FLASHBACK FRIDAY today on Friday, June 19, 2008"
LITERALLY: A DIP IN THE POOL
(SUMMER 2006) THE ABOVE IMAGE: I posted this image first because it inspired my title.
These images were photographed June 20, 2006. Natalie was about almost 11 months old. This was the first year we had a pool. So we've had an above ground pool each summer since she was born (not the year she was born..since she was born in the summer). She has enjoyed the water and learning to swim so much each summer. It is amazing how she almost learned to swim w/o any formal lessons. Floaties really teach them to work their body (arms and legs) in the water.
Natalie in her float boat...

She liked it...

...but she liked being in someone's arms more!

Here's the dip again (in order sequence of moments)...
[And by the way: Did you notice how tan this baby girl is? And that's with 50 SPF and only the first few weeks of summer! She is as dark almost as dark as her daddy who worked was working in the sun that particular summer.]


Poppa played in the pool with them too...I just didn't post any of those image.

Poppa reading with her. She loved her picture books! I know she learned to identify things and talk from these books.

I guess she is wondering what Mimi's doing since Mimi is usually the one who reads her books with her...

All that swimming wears a baby out.
NIGHT, NIGHT!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY...

BIKINI BEAUTY


These images were captured about 3 years ago. I emailed them to her daddy while he was off working. And yes, I titled the email "bikini beauty"...thinking he would be expecting something else. He told me this was what he was expecting when he opened the mail....I guess so...it was an email from his mom (not a buddy or something). LOL

FLASHBACK FRIDAY (Take 2)

The above photo screams "Raise your hands, if your SURE!" [SURE deodorant commercial]
Our little crawler...

Natalie wearing her first cotton logo tee (onsie) that we got for her in Memphis a few months earlier. I love the cotton logo and I love that Natalie can recognize it!



Okay, I need to be getting busy packing to go to my mom's for the weekend and for Brooke's graduation tonight. BUT...I couldn't close this folder of Natalie at 9 months old w/o posting a few more faves.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY...

Natalie at 9 months old.
May 2006
It's so fun to see how much Natalie has changed in three years, but it is also intersting to see how much I have grown as a digital photographer...digital and doing my own enhancements and retouching was still so new in 2006. Though often I still feel like it is so new because I am still learning so much. This first and last image I did some quick retouching today. I absolutely hate to post anything w/o some kind of retouching these days.
(She has just discovered the "thing" on her wrist. So precious!)
This was or mabe not retouched soon after the session in '06. What a difference in the first one and last one.

Happy Baby!

I miss that little baby, but I love the sweet, loving little girl that has grown from that infant/almost toddler that she was in these images photographed on May 11, 2006..

FLASHBACK FRIDAY...

Since I am in the midst of still posting Easter pics, I thought this would be appropriate for FLASHBACK FRIDAY since I am in the midst of finish Natalie's Easter photos for this year (her 4th Easter).

Natalie's First Easter...
Don't you just love that expression?

FLASHBACK FRIDAY OR BETTER LATE THAN NEVER...

I wanted to add something new to Natalie's World, but I don't really have time to go through all the images from the last two months that I need to back track and blog...so I looked at some olders files and came up with these that were photographed two years ago, January 20, 2007.

Before I go any further, I should give credit to the theme name, Fashback Friday. I had actually thought of creating Freaky Friday and find silly images to blog and I still may or maybe I just gave someone else a new idea! But since I have started blogging I like to view certain blogs. From time to time I will randomly look at new blogs or rather blogs that I do not know, but I have a few regulars that I frequently visit and now fell like they are my best blog buddies. One of my favorites is about this sweet baby girl who was adopted. Her mommy is quite inspiring and so in love with her baby girl. Their blog is respectively called "A GIFT WORTH THE WAIT". Today Sara Madalin's mommy started her version of Flashback Friday. She also mentioned being sure to give credit to who she knew started certain things like Way Back Whensday as Nicki did on her blog, The Glenn Gang. I guess I think about things like copyrighted photos, but I had not thought about this...so now you know!

I have used Wordless Wednesday, not sure who started it, but I got the idea from Cristi from Jesus Is. But as far as I know, I created Too Cute Tuesday and Terrific Thursday...but who knows maybe I saw them somewhere to and I don't remember. So if I need to give someone credit just let me know. It is fun to do a little different twist to blog! And thanks to those who gave me and others these new blog ideas.

NOW ON TO THIS POST...
It could be Better Late Than Never since it was two years ago.
At this age, almost 18 months, Natalie loved the Baby Einsteins DVD series. Her favorites was Baby McDonald. She loved watching it over and over. It was so perfect for a toddler, especially one who loved animals and making animals sounds. I recommend all the DVDs from this series. They are so perfect for a child's first experiences with TV.
So when we kept seeing the ads for the AG-EXPO in Monroe I thought Natalie would so enjoy seeing all the "real" animals.
As you can see in this image, she was a little afraid of the "real" chicks!

Awwwwhh! says Cari!


Scared of a tiny chick, but not afraid of Elsie the Cow! Go figure!

Poppa and Aunt Cari are having fun, but Natalie is wondering why Mimi is over in the corner. (taking photos, of course) It was so crowded and so hard to document this through my lens, but I am so glad that I did. It's so neat to look back at these two years later.







Emma came too!

I think she enjoyed it too!

I wish that I could remember what Emma was saying! [That's why you should document/blog your images ASAP.]

Emma is holding the little chick and Natalie still looks scared of it or is she scared that Aunt Cari will drop her because she is petting the baby chick and only using one arm to hold her.

Emma seesm just a little proud to be holding it, don't you think?

on to the goats...



What in the world is Cari laughing at?
Maybe Emma!

I think Emma looks a lot like Brittany in these images. What do you think?

It was a very cool and windy day! Look at Emma's hair in her face. I do remember we didn't look at the tractors and equipment that was outside very long. It was just too cool and it was beginning to sprinkle rain.

I noticed this tag as I was preparing these images for this post. This why I am glad that I am not a farmer...
JOHN DEERE IS CUTE AND ALL, BUT TOO MUCH FOR MY PURSE!

I have no idea why Natalie is screaming. But I do know we didn't get any more photos after this one...I wonder why?
