Bath & Play time

There are few things I love more than to give Patrick a bath and watch him play with his toys. He's just such a happy baby! These pictures are in his lion towel after the bath and in his exersaucer, which he's getting to like more and more.

A trip to Missoula

We try to visit Missoula and our friends Andrea and Seth at least once a year. This year it was over Labor Day weekend. We had a nice time BBQing with them and seeing their baby Maxsen for the first time (he's 9 months old). Next year when we visit - the boys will be old enough to really interact with each other! Poor Patrick got really carsick on the way home though. I'm afraid he gets that from his mom. :0(

Ohio State University Football!

Yep, it's that time of year again for Ohio State University football games! Patrick and his daddy are all ready to go.....too bad the games are so far away! Oh well, they just check them out from the comforts of our couch.

P.S. Thank you to Donny's uncle Dan and aunt Cindy for the adorable OSU outfit for Patrick!

The Never Ending Project

It's amazing to me how much work our house has been, but I am always so excited when a BIG project gets finished. Donny puts in so much hard work around our house - he's incredible! A couple of weekends ago he was able to finish the rock on the outside of the house. Here are a few pictures from that project. Great job Donny!!

Patrick at 5 months

We finally took Patrick to get his picture taken by a professional! He was a little overwhelmed by how many people were trying to get him to smile, but he still did a great job. I got suckered into a package deal where we'll get about 400 pictures by the end of it, but I guess for my first time, it was to be expected! The photographer totally saw me coming! From here on out I hope to get his picture taken every three months or so....and I won't be buying the package deal!

Pool Party!

While we were in Salt Lake, my cousin Rachael had a pool party at her fantastic new house. We had a great time "swimming" with the cousins. I wasn't brave enought to dunk him under the water though - maybe next time!!

First Flight!

In Mid-July, Patrick and I flew to Salt Lake to visit family and friends. This was his first flight and he did so great (it was me who was very close to losing my lunch!). I should have had someone else take a picture of us together on the plane, but I was too sick to think of it. Here he is though in the terminal and on the plane. Hopefully he's off to a good start of being a world traveler!
