Bates Family: January 2009

Ok...so I have been a bit of a hiatus. December was a crazy month for me. So here are some late pics and updates. Hope you all had a great Christmas!!!

Christmas Day my family and Bart's family came over...Josh and Jesse were in town. It was a lot of fun. We haven't had a Christmas with them in a while. They just moved back from Europe. I also hate posting pics of all the crap my kids got so one pic of their favorite toy and the rest is what we do with family on Christmas...Hang out!

Kory and Jim playing Tennis

Bart Bowling

Love the Wii...I don't get carried away at all!

Walker Clan...boys cannot hold still!

Bart gets stuck putting everything together...

My mom and Bart's mom got each other the same thing...

We hung out on Christmas Eve with our friends Gina and Rob and their daughter Ashley. Dinner, DRINKS and doing nothing! It was super!

They gave Jaxson a Broncos sweatshirt that he has yet to take off.

Max being crazy!

Max and Ashley!

My parents came by on Christmas Eve to watch the boys open their PJ's and blankets...dude they fall for it every year. They ask me if they can open one present and I say yet but I get to choose...and I choose the PJ's every year! I love the look on their face when they open clothes...blah! LOL

Can boys ever take a nice pic?

Brotherly love for 2.2 seconds

My Madre and Max!

We also have had a ton of snow...the most I have seen in a long time.

Diesel loves it!

Diesel is 4 months

Max and Diesel both go out and bug Bart while he is shoveling.

Every December I host a Drill Team Competition at Jordan High School. This year I had 42 teams from all over and it was insane. So my November and December are crazy and the reason you haven't seen a post since Election Day (Oh yeah and the fact that I am elated that Obama won LOL)
