Bateman and a pirate





Carking pumpkins at Stoddard's. This is all the kids when they were done with their pumpkins.

Cade's solar system project, he did a great job and had alot of fun doing this. Cade has a great memory. He loves to learn about everything and remembers facts about what he is learning.



Us carving pumpkins at grandmas house in the garage.




Making Ciera's quilt

Grandma working away on Ciera's help. Thanks mom for all your help, we couldn't of done it without you. It turned out great!!!!!


Yes, even I helped when I could. We made Ciera do as much as she could. I think we both learned alot about making a quilt.

Sports, Sports and more Sports

Cort playing flag football, He would ask me everyday, "Mom am I the fastest on my team," I would tell him he was one of the fastest. It was fun to watch him play, he was really a good little player and made many touchdowns.
Connor made the high school soccer team, I guess 6 years of practice has finally paid off. He loves playing and he even gets to be a starter, which is good for only being a freshman on the varsity team. Go Connor!!!!!




We finished our season of soccer with Cort and Cade. I think they had a good time and they did very well.








First day of school 2010

This is the first day of school for us. I can't believe how fast my kids are growing up. Connor is a freshman in high school, Ciera is in 7th grade and starting Jr. High, Cade is in the 4th grade and Cort is starting Kindergarten. Yes, they are all in school.














camping in Island Park

We took the 4-wheelers and motorcycles out for a spin. It was alot of fun. Greg took Cort, Jalyssa and Preston. Connor took the motor bike for a ride.



Cort and Cole on top of one of many dirt piles. Boy, they look happy to take this picture for me.


Cade taking a moment by the creek to take a photo, isn't he cute? Ciera and Cort posing for yet another picture.

A very Chilly 4th of July

Trisha and Demitrio freezing at the parade in Ashton, Idaho. They are used to Vegas weather, sorry guys!!!!
The kids are waiting for someone to throw a little candy their way.


The kids waiting patiently with Aunt Trisha for more candy. Look how happy Cort is....

Cort was mad!!! I think it was because the people in the parade weren't throwing enough candy.



We had to get some hot chocolate to keep us warm on this nice 4th of July in Idaho. Can't beat that a parade, candy and some hot chocolate. What a fun time??????




More stitches and David Archialetta


Ciera got to meet David in June. One of her friends invited her to go meet him, I got to go along with them to take pictures. He is really a nice guy and very, very short. I think she was happy to be there.




Yes, this is the second pair of stitches Cort has had in about 18 months. They always seem to be around his eyes. As we were getting him stitched up, Greg commented, "Cort will be lucky to have both his eyes by the age of 18 at the rate he is going." All is well with him though, he was back running around the next day. Nothing can slow this boy down, nothing!!!!

Misc. pictures


Cort wanted his hair to be a mohawk, so this is what I did. Doesn't he look cute??? He was quite proud of it.


Connor on Easter morning- is he having fun or what????



The boys practicing a little baseball in the backyard.

This is where you can find Ciera, sitting at the computer on facebook.




Birthday wishes for Ciera




Ciera had a birthday party with all her friends. I think they had a great time. Ciera turned 12, I can't believe how fast time goes.






We went bowling first and then we came back to our house for pizza, cake, fun and lots of noise.
