Big Surf here we come!!!!

Well, I have been home now for about 2 weeks from being at my sister. Life has gotten back to normal, and we have been having lots of fun. I found out that Big Surf need a few more people to help serve food at there parties they have there. So I got a job doing that. The one nice thing is, you get a season pass for you whole family, and can go to any of the water parks whenever you want for FREE!! We also get great discounts on food and birthday party's there. My boys are having so much fun going. We can also bring friends in for free too. Each one of us can bring a friend with us and they get in free. So if any of you lovely ladies would like to come with us let me know.

Charlee Rae Morris!

She is here all 7lb 12oz and 21in of her! She came yesterday around 7:49pm, but not with out a fight. My sister had a long day and in the end, it did not go how she would have liked too. All was good tell it was time to push. To make a long story short she had to end up having a C-section and did a great job. She had us scared for a bit but is doing much better. I am so grateful for the power of the priesthood and the men that stopped everything to come up to the hospital. She was so brave and is going to be a great mother. Love you guys!!!!

Making our jam!
Well, last night we made our jam with the strawberry's we got earlier in the day. We had lots of fun. Today we woke up, and my Uncle and his family came over from New Jersey to see us. When they got here, we went down to the Inner Harbor and walked around. Just like yesterday it was hot and humid we walked at least 3miles. My poor sister, she is ready to pop and was such a trooper. We stopped and had lunch at Hard Rock and then went to the Aquarium. We saw a dolphin show and lots of sea animals. Can't wait for tomorrow. Ashley is getting induced tomorrow morning.

Strawberry Pickin'

Today we woke up early and went to Baugher's farm that grows lots of fruits and veg. This day you could pick strawberrys! Lets just say is was fun for about 1min before we all started to die of heat, and sweat like pigs. Nate and Lori Miller came with us. We know Lori because we grew up with her family. We were in the same ward for awhile. They are living here in Maryland while Nate goes to Dental school. Its great my sister has some people to hang out with here.

Surprise!!!

Don't you just love a good surprise? Well, on Friday morning I hopped on a airplane to Maryland to see my little sister. She is going to be having her baby girl on Monday the 9th. Anyways she had no clue that I was even coming. Jake her husband came to pick me up from the airport, and had told her he had a meeting and would be back. Well I will let the pictures speak for themselves! She was completely surprised!! Also my husband is the best he is at home watching all four boys for 5 days. He has had a little help thanks to my sis. in-law Emily for having the two older boys over for 2 days. And my parents who got my plane ticket and were a big help in getting me out here. The rest of the pictures are of us later that night just having fun!!

Bateman Family Reunion

It took a lot of work, to get our family up to the Reunion. We had to pack up our whole house(yes we moved again this time into Matt's parents house)in two days while getting ready to leave for the reunion. A big HUGE THANKS to all of my friends who came to help us move so fast. You all mean so much to US! I could not ask for better friends to have in time of need. My family and I will miss all of you a ton, you have truly been the greatest blessing! With that being said.

We had a great time with Matthew's family this weekend up at Hawley Lake for the Bateman Family Reunion! We did lots of things, fishing, lots and lots of eating, playing games, hideing from big foot, and lots of throwing up and being sick(apparently the flu bug decided to come along for the reunion too and folow a lot of us home!).

I know this reunion meant a lot to Matt's grandparent. Matt's mom and all of her siblings were able to come with all of there family's. We had over 50 people and this is one of the first times they have all gotten together since matt and I have been married(8years).
Thanks to all those who worked so hard to put this together!
