Thanks to the Graves family, we had two turtles to enter this year in the turtle race for the boys. This was Mimi, Papa, Nelda, Caleb & Luke gearing up for the big race!
Aunt Nelda & Luke are enjoying the parade beside Mimi and Caleb!
I was trying to photo shop Matthew's red eye out of this picture and this was the result. It is too cute of a picture not to put on here, though. Tim is going to give me such harassment (for posting a picture with matthew having a black eye and for not being able to figure out how to get rid of it!) for this! By the way, if anyone who has a mac knows how to edit these pictures back to their original form please tell me!
It was also my 10 year class reunion. We got together at the Fitts' barn and it was a blast!
Luke loved being outside for the parade!!!
This is a picture of Mommy with her big boys at the BEARCAT football game!!!
This is Caleb with Miss Claire...sooo cute!
I absolutely love this picture of Caleb. The announcer at the football game said we were going to have a "moment of silence" and so I told the boys to be still and quiet so we could pray for the football players and that was Caleb's response. Sooo sweet.
Papa pushing the twinkers!
This was one of our turtles...kinda gross, I know. This comes with the territory of being a boy "mom." I couldn't touch the turtle. Thankfully, Papa and Mimi were around to help with that!
Luke is sitting tight during the turtle race....
Here was some of our competition...Matthew's turtle won 2nd in his heat, but choked in the finals. My dad called the turtles "losers" on the way home..ha..ha... We are such a competitive family!
Caleb is checking it all out!
Matthew and his cute horsey hat!

Dear Bates Clan,
Wow, these pics were great! the boys are all getting so big, and looked like they all enjoyed the goings on,even Luke! matthew and caleb are definitely little boys now, they have lost their baby look,and now completely look like big boys!. they are growing up too fast! i hope you had a lot of fun at your reunion! Love,A. bonnie and U. Wally
I couldn't tell if that was Matthew or the Phantom of the Opera in that picture.

I have never heard of a turtle race! I love it! To get your pictures back to their original form right click on the thumbnail of the photo in iphoto and choose "revert to original" at the bottom of the drop down menu. At least that's how it's done in our version. Hope this helps! I know I was ecstatic when someone helped me figure that one out!
