Hi

Just hangin' out trying to get through this long week! Here are a few pictures from Christmas and such. Sure wish we lived by a few more sisters.....

Happy Birthday MOM!!!!!

I know it's a little late in the day...but I still thought I'd write a little Happy Birthday post! I'm not nearly as creative as Rand, so I'm just going to go ahead and say Happy Birthday!

Sister Sadie

I wanted to do a post with a picture of Sadie showing off her new trick - STANDING. She is so cute at it. She thinks she's so clever and gets a big smile on her face when she realizes what she's doing. It's tough to get a picture of it as I have to be close enough to catch her when she falls, so this is what you get (top picture). More of Sadie:
She loves to play hide & seek with you crawling around corners.
She loves Mason. She really likes to tackle and wrestle with him, but she gives him hugs too. Especially if you say, "ooohhhhh".She loves to play with the girls when given the chance. (She is usually accused of wrecking things and doesn't get to play.) The other day she was pushing the laundry basket around and thought that was a great game. The game got even better when Rylie and Camrie joined in. She'll also shake her head no. Of course she doesn't comprehend no, but it's still cute. She likes visitors. Even the 1 year old kind that pull her hair. :) Feel free to stop by anytime. She's trying to decide what to do for her birthday in about 6 weeks. Any suggestions?

The Wall and Shelves

It really is a girl!

We had our 3D ultra sound today and it was pretty neat! Now if we could just pick a name out. :)

Here is a picture of her face all squished. It was pretty cool to see so much detail! We got it all on video and you can see her yawn and hicup.

Here is her hands pressed together

Here is her skinny back! She still needs to gain some weight!


Here is her feet.
Here is the bottom of her foot - so far she has only 10 fingers and 10 toes.
This is her foot on her forehead - she is quite the gymnist!!
This one is her legs and her hand.

We got a ton of pictures - I just thought I would share a few. She wasnt super cooperative when it came to the face shots!

My Cute Bed!

This is the cute quilt and pillow cases my AMAZING mom made me for Christmas!

Danen's most recent project...

While Ben is out becoming a trapper...my husband is in the garage trying to put together his dad's old scooter. He is as excited as a little boy on Christmas morning because he finally got the scooter to start today. He not only got the scooter to start...he even managed to ride it through the snowy lawn a few times.

Cmas Pics from the Draper Camera

Thanks for the great holidays everyone. Glad to hear the Kynastons made it home. I would love to hear of the adventures and see pictures if you have any. See you all soon.

You gotta have a spoon for sprinkles:


Does Jaxon ever not smile for the camera?
Thanks for sharing Karaoke and Guitar Hero. That was tons of fun.



This was the best I had of a group jacket photo. I just don't understand why all 12 grandkids won't sit still and smile.

The video...

I thought you'd enjoy a little video displaying how little Bridge can be such a big bully. He does whatever he can to make poor little Kelcie Beth mad. I guess I should've tried to stop it...but it was pretty funny and nobody was getting hurt. I hope you enjoy.

See previous post...

Christmas Part 1 -- Bateman View

Here are a few Christmas pictures I thought you'd all like!! Hope you're having a GREAT new year!

To Be Continued........

FYI - You may not want your kids to see the pictures below -




Note the animals stretched in the background!! Yep - those are in my basement right now!!

Lexi will be happy that Uncle Ben has moved on from squirrels - the sad part is now it is much larger animals. He started trapping this winter and so far he has gotten 3 raccoons, 1 possum, 1 rabbit, and 1 skunk. He is really enjoying it and thinks he can make some extra money selling the pelts. The other pictures are from the ice storm in Kansas City. See everyone in a few days!!
