About Us

Andy and I met on a blind date in Dec. 2005. One of my 7th grade students was his neice, and she set us up. Go figure. We saw each other every day after that! We were engaged by June and married in September of 2006. In January, 2008, we welcomed little Ethan into our home, and in August, 2010, little Addison arrived.

Andy is a diesel mechanic at Kennecott. I taught middle school science for ten years, and am now an evidence-based learning specialist for a school district.

Bateman Family Christmas Party

For the annual Bateman Christmas party we always get together, have a fantastic dinner, do a craft activity of some sort, and then we always read the Christmas story from the bible and have the kids play the parts.  This year was the first year that Ethan wanted to participate, and he got to be Joseph.  He was super cute, and helped Mary in with the baby.  Addy wouldn't really participate, but couldn't help but get involved when she saw all the attention they all were getting.
 After the nativity, we open a present from Grandma Bateman.  Ethan got this cute dog that shoots these balls out of its mouth.  He'd had a lot of fun with it.
 Addy got this super cute little lady bug backpack.
 And then my Aunt Janet made all the kids hooded bath towels.  Addy is laying on hers here with her lady bug back pack as well.  Her towel is also a lady bug and is super cute.  She uses it every night at bath time, and looks adorable in it.
Mr. man refuses to believe this is a bath towel and was determined that instead it is a blanket.  So, he's worn it quite a bit and even sleeps in it.  It's a super cute dinosaur! :)  Thanks Janet for all the work on these.  They are super cute.



We had a ton of fun at the party!
