Patrick and Auretta put on a little concert for us. Unfortunatly our good camcorders battery was dead so we took this with my phone.

Patricks 4th Birthday

My sweet baby boy turned 4. I hope that means that the real terrible year is over, but I’m not holding my breath. Just kidding, kind of, those of you with 3 year olds know what I’m talking about. But moving on….

1 years old

2 years old

3 years old

4th birthday

whew... what a day, I'm tired!

The first words to describe Patrick were, “He’s huge!” But since that day he has grown and now he is most often described as lovable and social. I’m crazy about that kid! He is so forgiving and loving and I will always be grateful that he our oldest. I often feel so bad for him because I have no idea what I’m doing with him. My poor experiment child, but he takes it well. On Sunday he answered a question in sharing time. He said, “Because Jesus loves me.” I teared up. I guess I can’t be doing to bad of a job if he knows that. I think he might have been fed that answer, but still, I know he knows it is true.

For his birthday we took him and 3 other friends sledding. We dropped off the two smaller ones because they don’t enjoy snow. If I was a better mom, I would have remembered the camera, but I didn’t. We had fun on a little hill, even Chad and I got to go once or twice.

then on Monday we had pizza and cake with Grandma and Grandpa, Harris and Shayna, Michael and Clarissa, and Candace. We celebrated Clarissa’s and Candace’s birthdays too, but only the 4 year old got presents. It was a ton of fun! Thank you everyone who donated kids to our sledding and came down for the weekend, we had a great time. Thanks for all the presents, he should be set until next Christmas.

We have started having spirit days on Friday. So far we have only done Red Red Data Head Day and Blue Day. We are doing the colors first to help Patrick out. After that I think we might do things like pjs, beach, nerd, cape, dinosaurs, hearts, etc. But I’m hoping to do this every week so if anyone has any ideas, send them my way. It has been fun so far but a little embarrassing. The first Friday we all wore red. Then we went to eat lunch with Chad. So we wore the rival color on BYU campus. Then on blue day my hair was really crazy so I put on a blue hat thinking I would fix it before I left for the doctors. And then things got crazy so I forgot, anyways, I was a mess when we went. Oh,well, kids love it and it is pretty fun to be united in something as a family.

Patrick’s new firehouse bank

driving the fire truck

Awesome firetruck!

Chad took Patrick to Home Depot to build a fire house bank Saturday morning. They had some firetrucks there also. Looks like they had a good time. And Patrick even hammer in three nails!

She is so CUTE!!!!

I just found these pictures on Candace’s Facebook. The bath pictures are at my in-laws house. After the bath got over we got Patrick dressed and ready for bed. The next thing we know, he is back in the bath! It was pretty funny, we all laughed and he looked at us like, “What?”. The other picture is Patrick, not Auretta! I can’t believe how much they look alike.

Bath Time

Encore!!!

Patrick, not Auretta

Late Night Talks

It is 11:30pm and David is wide awake. It is so annoying how they sleep great during the day but at night it just seems impossible. I’m trying to decide if it is better to suffer in the dark and go crazy or just turn on a movie and stimulate them more. Tonight I’m going with the movie.

It is a bitter sweet stage right now. Newborns change so fast, it is sad and good too. I don’t think I could go with this much lack of sleep for too long. But I will miss it too. He is only 11 days old and already is awake probably 5 times as much.

On another note, reports on my other pregnant friends. Ember (my cousin who is my best friend around here) had her little boy 2 days before me. They named him Haden. Still haven’t seen him, but I don’t want to bring my sick kids to their house. And I just found out that Malina (Ember’s cousin, friend in book club) had her baby today. 5 lbs 10 oz.

Well, believe it or not, I hear Patrick crying again! 3rd time tonight. I have 2 newborns.
