October Fun

How do you summarize a month in the life of a busy family? After looking over recent pictures I realized that it is amazing to see all we have done during the month--can't even include everything (in particular all the kids sports activities!) but here's a quickie overview of the October miscellaneous stuff...

Soundview ward youth temple trip

I have no idea why we took this picture outside of Target when we were on a weekend trip to Newberg Oregon for Christian's Water polo tournament....but it looks like we were having fun!
Curtis High School Daffodil Princess Selection night
Christian is the escort for Sara Davis and she was selected as the Curtis 2010 Daffodil Princess! There will be more fun events later this year. Sara has the bulk of the busy-ness and all of the pressure and Christian kinda just goes along for the ride-lucky guy!

PUMPKIN PATCH field trip with Prestons Kindergarten class. He has such fun with his buddies Jacob and Carson.

NEON day for Curtis Junior High Spirit week...Katie with friends Madison and Sarah.
We took a quick weekend to Utah to see Emily in the BYU opera Tales of Hoffman...wonderful music and wonderfully fun times with our college girls!
Grandma and Grandpa Bateman drove all the way from Arizona to see the production. Grandma Betteridge was also in Utah to attend as well as sweet cousins Adam and Crystal.
Hannah and her activity day girls and her wonderful leaders, Jennifer Farnes and Barbara Brown. They have such fun together and at this special recognition night they each performed or shared something they have learned. Hannah played Star light Star bright on the piano and sang sweetly while she played.
