A Great Day

This past two weeks have been very exciting for the Patterson family. #1 - Kaden was baptized. I can hardly believe that my little boy is old enough to be baptized. I remember thinking the same thing when Colton turned 8. I can't believe how fast time flies. Kaden was so excited he could hardly stand it. He kept saying "I can't wait to be babatized" (I had to try to write it exactly how he says it - he is so cute) We were really lucky to have my parents and my little sister Jenna fly in and be here with us. I know it meant a lot to Kaden but it also meant a lot to me to have them here.

I am so proud of Kaden and the kind of boy that he is. He really is a sweet natured, good hearted little boy. I feel so blessed to be his mother and I know that he will grow up to be a wonderful man. I love him so much

This is the cutest picture of Kaden and Gavin - they are best buddies

I snagged this picture off of my friends blog of Indy - it is so cute!

Indy

We have a new addition to our family!!! This is Indy our new puppy. He really is not a puppy - as you can tell - he is a boxer about two years old - I think?.?.?.?..... Our neighbors across the street have a boxer that Colton has been in love with. He has always wanted one of his own. Our opportunity came when a family in our ward finished flight school and could not take him with them. I think they were sad to let him go - but hopefully can find some comfort in knowing he is well loved.

He is absolutely amazing with the kids. He loves them! I am loving that he is already crate trained and potty trained along with some other fun tricks. I highly recommend adopting an older dog :O).

I'll post more pictures of him later with the other boys - they love him!

This is just a quick little something that I thought was funny so I wanted to write it down so I remember it.

The other day Porter went out with me to get the mail. I figured he was right behind me following me back into the house. I looked and he was half way down the street running his little head off chasing two teenage boys on skate boards. I could hear him screaming "Hey - you're so cool - you're so cool! You are a great tricker!" The boys probably not knowing quite what to do with their little fan club stopped and said - "Hey thanks buddy." (they were nice boys) He just kept saying, "you re a great tricker!" So the boys did a few of their skateboard tricks and went on their way. Porter clapped and clapped and thought they were just as he suspected "very cool!" I got to carry home a little 3 year old boy screaming "you're so cool" until we were in the house. WOW!!!!

Let It Snow..........

It is February in ALABAMA and it is SNOWING!!!!!!
