Fall Fun

Hayden’s brother Brady returned home from his mission at the first of September.  That weekend was packed with things surrounding his return.  For his welcome home he spoke in his dad’s ward and then his mom’s, and then after we had the luncheon at our house.  The whole weekend was so much fun!

We were able to attend the new Brigham City temple with the Bateman side of the family.  It was a great experience with the nephews and niece.  Bryan said right as he entered it, “Is this Jesus house?”.

Next was Hayden’s Birthday, Big 23!  We decided to go to the Bateman family Cabin in the Uintah Mountains.  We invited the whole family but only Eric, Rindy and the boys were able to come.  The boys kept us quite entertained while we were up there.  One of the days we decided to go fishing and while no was watching Wyatt decided to venture into the mud.  He got knee deep when we started to hear him whine because he couldn’t move.  It was so cute! He just kept saying “muddy” and “dirty” the whole time.  The fall colors were so awesome up there. It was so dang beautiful.

Halloween was a blast of course.  It’s fun being able to decorate our new house for the holidays.  At work we dressed up as the Kentucky derby.  I got to wear a big hat and cute dress to work.  After work we headed down to my parents house to see all the nephews and Baylee in their cute outfits.  Wyatt was the man in the Yellow hat from Curious George with his George stuffed animal.  Blake was Santa Clause.  Baylee was a kitty cat.  Bryan was Batman, and Nathan was Superman.  Mom and dad of course bought us Pizza and that was delicious too. 

What's been going on with the Olsen's

There has been a couple of things that have happened since I wrote last.

First, We have a new "gem" in our garage.  My husband decided that he doesn't have enough to do during the day and decided to get another project.  I'm just kidding I let him buy it.  It's a 66 Oldsmobile 442.  Not in the best shape but has all the original parts.  My brother Ryan found it a few years ago decided not to buy it, and then the guy called him back just a little bit ago and told him he was selling it.  So, Hayden, Ryan and my other brother Eric went and checked it out. Lets just say I never thought that I would be helping with an old car again.  I told Hayden I never thought our garage would look like my brothers.  It will be fun though! I'm excited to car shows with my Brothers. :)

 

Second, we have bought a House! We love it! It was kind of a crazy process but it all turned out okay! It is very exciting to be homeowners. It is in Nibley, in a cute little neighborhood!  Pictures will be coming soon!

Third, we have two new nephews! Blake Mason Bateman arrived first. Eric, Rindy and Wyatt's new addition.  He looks just like Wyatt and is so cute!  Next, Jennifer and Paul had Nathan James Williams this month.  He was born on Uncle Rod's birthday.  Bryan loves his new little brother, almost too much! Nathan was a big boy weighed 8 pounds and 21 inches long. 

Forth, Tuff got Neutered. Poor lil guy had to wear a cone for 7 days.  It was hilarious.  We found out how much he actually weighs at his appointment, 4 pounds! Just a little guy.  He did great though! He is child free!

And finally, It was our two year anniversary this month.  It's weird to think it's been that long! On the other hand it feels like forever! It's crazy to think back on all we have been through.  We have moved 3 times in those two years. Out to Iowa and back, and then from our apartment to our house.  We have had crazy ups and downs, but it's like that song..."I wouldn't trade a hundred years the other way."

Tuff

We had a new addition to our family in January. He is a Yorkiepoo (Yorkie Poodle mix), and his name is Tuff!

This was him when we first got him.
