Memorial Day Weekend and More

Can you believe it? We are actually putting another post up! I know it's amazing. We just happened to take a few pictures and do a few fun things that we wanted to share with you. You can thank Dave for being more aware of picture taking :)

Our friends invited us for a Memorial Day lunch Barbecue. We went to Lindsay Park which is located up in the avenues. They were so nice to invite us especially because they brought most of the food and mmm was it good! We had hot dogs, hamburgers, spare ribs, and shrimp all barbecued as well as multiple salads and chips. The children loved the park and enjoyed getting dirty in the baseball field. Sadly I didn't think to take a picture of that.

They all look so great!

After the barbecue in the park we went up to Dave's family cabin for the traditional Memorial Day dinner. Their family goes up there on every summer holiday. Their cabin is located in Millcreek Canyon and I have to say that it has become my favorite canyon.

We were so excited to take grandma up there. We had lots of fun with her.

It was fun to see Mike again after he had been gone on his month long trip to Asia.

I have become increasingly frustrated with Patten's hair recently. He not only has sooo much of it but it grows so fast. Now these would all be great and awesome things if he was a girl. What little girl wouldn't look cute with long hair? But sadly these things were wasted on a boy :) So we decided to buzz his head. I wish I had taken a picture of the finished product before I put him down for his nap this morning. His hair looks pretty cute all spiked up! While we were cutting Patten's hair he was a pretty good sport. Dave was able to snatch a few great pictures below.

Yeah!

Watch out for the attacking belly!

That is all for now. We hope life is treating all of you well.

An Update

It's been a while. So, first, a quick update.

Patten is growing right up. He can say a few words, loves to kick his ball, and loves convincing people to read him books (which doesn't take that much convincing).

Kristin is pregnant. The baby is due July 30th. We are gonna try having this one without medication, we'll see how that goes. But, even if we end up using medication, preparing to have a baby without medication has been a wonderful experience. It has brought us closer together and been really enjoyable. We highly recommend it.

Dave just finished his second year of law school and is working this summer. He likes his job, especially the fact that they have free drinks. What more could you ask for?

Now, for some pictures.

Random Patten.

Can you say "Mama gave me a container of cool whip to eat!"

Patten playing the piano with Grandma. They became best friends while we lived in grandma's basement.

If he becomes a piano player we will know where his skills came from.
