i'm.....baaack

alright if you haven't noticed by my recent blogging disappearance...We're Pregnant!!!! and at a mere 25 weeks I'm now ready to reenter the blogging spectrum so hopefully all my blog groupies haven't given up on me yet.

Summer has been super fun and eventful, we started it off with of course being nauseous, and then after that we went to lake powell. the kids loved it. Made a trip up to Rainbow Bridge which from the distance we saw it at was awesome (the kids only made it halfway before they got hot and grouchy)
Next we went to an awesome condo in wolf creek. thanks to missy and cam for helping mom set it up. The boating was great.
Hilary and Shawn and the kids have been on a sabbatical to utah for the summer and we spent some time with them.
then came the scout month, between youth conference and scout camp, Mike was busy most of July.
Just last week we went on a wirlwind tour of utah county with the oliver moms, making stops at cabelas and the ml bean museum. Poor Sonias seen enough dead animals to last her at least til shes 5. She is already a little animal activist in training. She could not understand why someone would hunt all those polar bears. I didn't have the heart to tell her most of bateman realitives love to kill animals:)
And to top off the summer it was James Birthday last Friday. He is the most humble 3 year old I know saying he only wanted blue cupcakes for the big day and "No thank you" to any toys we offered. Don't worry he still got toys and you would have thought we gave him toys are us with his level of enthusiasm.
Happy Birkay day James. We all Love you

So now we are awaiting the arrival of fall, patiently, soon we leave the free days of not running around and enter the reality of motherhood. Becoming a chauffeur.
Sonia is starting big kid preschool
James is starting Joy School
Both are so excited they could burst.

Mom on the other hand can't believe my babies are getting so big.




A little preview for next time
