Happy Hangover from Halloween....

After a long night of Halloween festivities not a creature is stirring around our house (except Lexi of course). Here a few few photos from this part of the world. We had about 50 kids come through last night. It was freezing cold too! About 35 degrees. To top it all off I brought a T.V. into our living room and we watched Mickey's Christmas Carol. Boy are we screwing up these kids or what? Happy kick-off to the Holiday Season.

Trick or Treat

I want to see all the Halloween pictures of all the kids! Will everyone please post some?

Desk

We have an old blue school desk that is going to D.I. unless some Draper wants to claim it. It has "nicole" etched in the top lefthand corner. :) There are 2 chairs to go with it if anyone is interested.

It's fall around here....

Just doing a little fall clean-up, carving pumpkins and sleeping - We are so excited for daylight savings tonight - That means Jaxon will be getting up at 5:30 tomorrow morning, YES!

This one is for 'D'....

I "accidentally" left the e'mails of all of the Olsen/Drapers by the computer. I would love it if you started the whole blog thing since you some how know way more than me when it comes to anything with an on/off button :). If this task is bigger than the time you have available will you make sure someone mails it to me and I'll give it a go.

It's A...

Girl? The nurse seemed to be convinced that it was a girl, but I have yet to seen any real hard evidence. Anyway, here are a few of _______ Draper's first pictures:

Ang I was wrong...

I need more pictures from all Utahns that are sent in the highest resolution possible. Everything I have gotten from the blog are blurry when I zoom in. Please send them to daisydrape@yahoo.com . Thanks. Four from each family member would be great. They may or may not be included but I'll try my best. Emily

Baby Game

October 24th is coming up you see -

Angee's having an ultra-sound, yipee!

Post your guess here of what it will be -

Is it a boy or a girl -

We'll have to wait and see!

Rylie's birthday

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the gifts and thoughts for Ry's birthday. We had a good day. Rylie has put together her puzzle about a million times and we've played "Gold Fish" (better know as Go Fish to anyone but Rylie) about a hundred thousand times. Rylie looks so dang cute in her clothes from Cole and Snowball the puppy has trailed her around the house for 3 days now. We also went to Walmart and bought a 3 pack of lip stuff that is pretty cool. So thanks everyone!

I'm in business!!!!!

Christmas came early at the Bateman house and I am now back to being a regular blogger on my new computer! So...I thought I'd start by posting a few of the pictures from this last week.

Jack-Jack's B-day

Thank you everyone for the nice gifts - Here are a few shots from Jaxon's birthday!

Cam's birthday

Thought I should post a couple pictures before Rylie's birthday. Thanks for everything.

Jenson

I brought Jenson to Mom and Dad's house and I went to the bathroom and when I walked back into the room, this is what I found.

happy birthday heath!

Hope you have a wonderful birthday. Can't wait for your visit.


Was going to post a picture of Heath...realized I don't have enough. So here is the next best thing. Look at that super cute face. If you all want to send me 4 of you and your family that may or may not be put in the calender send them ASAP. Thanks.






P.S. Brian says thankyou to everyone that paid so quickly for the campout downpayment. He was equally excited for the "points" that he gets now:)

Cool Picture

Just had to post this pic of Josh and Jax. I will post Camrie's birthday later. Enjoy this pic:

A visit with grandma and aunt cole...

We had fun during a nice visit from Grandma and Aunt Cole. Fun with a sticky foot, Soccer games, Corn maze and the pumpkin patch are what these photos are about. The ring shot is our "engagement photo" pose. Too bad the week is over. We all had a lot of fun.

- Josh -

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Happy Birthday Josh. I am at work so I don't have any pictures of you. I hope you have a wonderful Birthday and I will see you at your wedding. (I still think you are way to young to get married) :)

Ryan's Project

Ryan just finished the dining room floor and it looks nice. We love our new table too. Jaxon loves the floor but slides around a lot! Have a good day!

FHE from Kenzie's eyes

Here are some pictures from Monday. Kenzie loves the camera. Sometimes she takes better pictures than I do. My favorite is the one of Jack-Jack the elephant. :)

A new post...

Lexi just guessed that I was 100 years old, I told her I was 32 and she said "wow, that's big!" Here are some pictures of our kids with their "save" boards. Worksheets, tests, and projects that either they or I feel like saving. We take a picutre at the end of each month and clear the board. Jessie saves more than the other kids...we had to take 2 pictures this last month:).

Coloring

When you want to color, it doesn't matter if you have clothes on or not, you just want to color. :) One side note, the plugger has been "broke" for 48 hours now. So far not too many withdrawls.

Mom's homemade Bread

Will someone post the recipe and directions to Mom's homemade bread? I would like to post it on Andrea's recipe blog and I would like to try it. Thanks!!
