Baby Game 2010

Alright, it's that time again to start the guessing game as to when Baby Bateman #2 will arrive! At least this time you all know the gender. :) The winner of the Great Pumpkin Debate (aka Anderson) was Aunt Doris -- who will will this time, nobody knows!!!!

Bateman Bump 2010

Good luck!!

Fourth of July Fun

Once again it's been awhile since I've posted some Anderson pictures. Geez. We've had a busy last couple weeks including a trip to grandma/grandpa Pyle's house and to the lake for the 4th. Lots of friends, family and fun in the sun this summer!

These pictures pretty much sum up the lake this past weekend. Anderson and his buddy Davis really had a great time and were full of hugs and giggles for each other. The slide show on the side has more.

i love this place!

a rare moment of non-movement

Here are some fun times over the last couple weeks:

using our lion as a sled down the slide

covered in confetti at the Mexican Fiesta

play time with cousin Ashley

helping Grams do the dishes

Father's Day Fun

What's more relaxing for Father's Day than sitting pool-side?? We had a nice weekend enjoying the outdoors, naps, and hanging out with lots of friends. aka - perfect.

Relaxing while watching Elmo. If you can't tell, there's a gap between the couch and the ottoman -- I was kinda expecting Anderson to fall right through!

Eating our first popsicle. I remember being so upset as a kid when my mom gave me juice popsicles and all the other kids had "real" ones -- here I am turning in to my mom!

Belly Time

Pregnancy has been flying by and its hard to believe that I only have 9 weeks left! Tim and I recently took a "pre-baby" trip to visit his brother in LA. Here's a belly pic from one of our many stops on Highway 1.

30 weeks

Mud Puddles

Every time it rains we get what we affectionately call "Lake Bateman" in our driveway. It never fails that Anderson gravitates towards it....

what? like I'm suppose to pretend its not there???

Watermelon and Garden Hoses

What screams summer more than a little boy drenched in watermelon juice and then watching him "clean up" with a garden hose???

Memorial Day Fun

Anderson and I trekked it down to Arkansas over the long weekend to visit Debbie, Dan and Simon while Tim stayed at home and worked on the basement. Sad for Tim, but the basement is looking great!

Debbie and I ran those boys ragged for two days. We played outside in the water, went to a drive-through zoo and petting area, and BBQ'ed in the evening. Whew! The boys played very well together and it was awesome to catch up with Debbie!
