6th grader this year

Can you believe that school has started already? Not me. The kids are growing up to fast. It will be nice to have Hayden and Cortlyn going at the same time. Aren't they the cutest kids you ever did see? Shawnee I think is going to break some hearts this year. Watch out boys...... You will have her dad after you. Now maybe my house will stay clean for more than 10 minutes. Have a wonderful school year kids and make lots of friends.. Love ya kiddos

Family Home Evening

WE spent the night at a park in Highland. Letting the kids play in the water. Poor kids where freezing cause we had a little wind. But they LOVED it!!!!

Jacksonhole vacation 2009

We had so much fun this year in Jacksonhole running the river. We had all the family this year plus Mitch, Terrie and Jacob. Brent and Bonnie and their grandson Noah, and some friends of Aaron's. No one was hurt. Shawnee got pink eye the second day we were there. Deven ,my dad, Shawnee, Hayden and both of their friends went on the river when the temp was only 46 degrees and raining. Needless to say they were so cold when they got off that they couldn't walk up to the truck. Poor kids but that didn't damper anything the kids went everytime after that. I got a nice bruise on the back of my thigh from falling out at Kahuna. We went to Jenny's Lake and hiked. It was a beautiful day we made it just in time to get on the boat and head back to the cars when it started to pour pain. On Wednesday we watched falling and shooting stars. It was amazing. We could have watched it all night but we had to drive home the next day.

The Bateman family reunion of 2009. Aunt Deb and Uncle Stan were in charge of it this year and they did a Hawaiann Luau. With palm trees, lais and hula dancers. We had it in my backyard. It was perfect. The weather was beautiful. The company even better. I believe we had over 100 people here that was including kids. It was catered with great food and then we had the privledge of watching a hula dance from all the islands in Hawaii. It was awesome. So entertaining. Grandma and Grandpa Bateman are turning 96 this year and I think they look amazing. I was lucky enough to get pictures with them. It was great to visit with cousins, aunts and uncles. What a great time. Deb and Stan did an amazing job! Can't think of a better thing to do on a Saturday night then to spend it with your family and loved ones from all over. Thanks everyone that came. It was so nice to see and visit with everyone. See you next year!!!! Until next time ALOOOOOOHA!!!!!

pretty much everyone going on a ranger ride
Everyone getting ready for the parade to start in Fairview
We had a great weekend. We went golfing with a few minor injuries. I almost backed up the golf cart into the pond. And Julie just about rolled us. I don't think I have laughed so hard. GOOD TIMES!!! The kids went and saw a movie at the drive in. They saw Ice Age 3. Saw the fireworks from the cabin. And pretty much just chilled on the deck while the kids played in the blow up pool. Thanks everyone we had a blast. We missed Adam and his family maybe next time.

This kid CrAcKs me up

We pull into the drive up. To get some lunch at Subway yesterday. I am getting ready to order and Ty tells me to roll his window up. (Which means roll it down.) So I roll it down and he starts to order for himself. He yells out the window I need a chicken salad. The girl asks what kind of chips and I tell her the Doritos. Nacho kind and Ty yells at her NACHOS..... We pull up to the window and Cortlyn is quietly telling the girl that she is pretty. Ty yells you are pretty. I am just glad they didn't hear him yelling I need a chicken salad. Or maybe they did. We will never know. He makes me smile. It is always fun to have a toddler in the house to remind you that you still are young and can have fun. Love ya Ty bug
