every july grandma bateman has a week-long camping trip at granite flats, up american fork canyon. this is the first year we have stayed more than one night. we had a blast. the boys loved it and  so did james and i. it's funny how even things like camping become so much more fun with these amazing kids of ours.

and there are many many more.

wellness challenge

starting up a wellness challenge. if you want to join in find more info here.  spread the word. the more the merrier, and the greater the motivation. because of what happened last time i did something like this ( bad check that bounced, girls never sent a new one and winner was out $20) i'm thinking it is going to have to be a cash only entering fee.
