Birthdays and adventures

Well, per usual, I'm behind blogging. The last 2 weeks we've celebrated birthdays, went on some new adventures, and soaked up the last of this summer break! 


Colin decided last week that it was Ellie (3) and Owl's (33) birthday. He insisted on getting cakes for them, it was pretty cute. So we celebrated while Mer, Seth, and Jess were over. I think they just really like cake... :)

Making Doozie and special birthday cake!

We surprised Doozie to celebrate his birthday early! 
 
Such a fun way to celebrate! these Patterson men/little men love golf :)

Not bad form for first time with the clubs

We'll definitely be going back!


      
Happy Birthday Doozie!!

 
Back to dressing up all day again and doing battles, haha
 
Oh my, these 4 were soo little!!


Super Hero class was a blast this week and these boys had the best time with their buddy Graham!
 
We went to Desoto Caverns for a new adventure this week. Had no idea how close it was to us, very interesting place!
 
 
Coolest cave, didn't seem real!
 
Connor with his typical "smile" haha

A little better- he wasn't a huge fan of the darkness in there.


They had some fun activities there too, it was a fun day!
 

Fun with Daddy at McWayne last week!

Jeep riding as much as possible! Mommy included!

Daddy pool date while mommy worked :)

Have to brag on Rebecca, she sends me pics all day of the boys and takes them on some fun adventures!

The boys were so excited they had "33" as their score--they know that is how old D and I are!

Their adventure today was to dress up, make cookies, surprise Derek and I at work with them, and go to Let's Play. Excuse poor shaven Belle--she was on her way to school! Thankful for a babysitter that loves on these boys well.

Summer is coming to an end...

Everyday outings with these cuties

Introducing Mario Bros to the boys!

Daddy/boy day to Let's Play

On the road

Dodgeball day with Paw Patrol!

The kids had a blast and were worn out

Left the kids and went to dinner while Dad was in town Saturday night

4 years since Derek started as an attending :)

4 years ago with Aunt Jessie on her last day of summer break! She's back at work and we miss her at the gym/pool already.

A little stir crazy these days---cousin fun playing with bugs


Cousin cook out and water night

Boys started a super hero class and sadly Connor missed the first class being sickly. Colin had a blast though and can't wait to go back.

Family date night to Ahbi--Connor is such a little foodie. Had to get ice cream and do races after :)



We kept Meritt 2 days this week and she loved getting to be a big kid with the boys! She also loved eating all of my food ;)

We had our first house showing today (our realtor neighbor showed it to her friend) so we've been out of the house keeping it clean. We had a chickfila date last night and the boys were being too cute. They randomly hug and kiss each other (even during meals) and it makes all the "bad guy" fighting that they do more bearable. Haha.
