The Gatten Gang!

Welcome to our blog! We are so excited to have this family blog, and be able to keep in touch better with our family and friends.
Here is a picture of the entire family (minus Spike who is serving his mission in the Manaus, Brazil Mission). 

Above are Papa and Nana with their 17 grand kids. We have 3 more boys on their way this year with Mikin and Tyler due March 14th, Tim and Lizzy due April 25th, and Cassie and Andrew due May 7th!


Above are 8 or the 9 siblings from youngest to oldest, except again Spike. Brynne (22), A.J. (25), Cassie (26), Dusty (29), Mikin (30), Brett (32), Tim (34), Tom (35), Mom and Dad.

Above are all the "marrieds" and their spouses.

These pictures were all taken at our recent "7th Biannual Gatten Family Reunion", which was held December 21-29, 2007 in Hope, ID. We spent our time eating, crafting (mostly jewelry making), skiing, sledding, hunting beavers and geese, swimming, playing ping pong, racquetball, and wally ball, watching movies, playing board games, having Family Home Evening and a Christmas Eve Nativity, and just hanging out. It was a lot of fun!
