Weekend Wrap-Up

The spring busy-ness has fully arrived at the Patterson house.  Now, if the spring weather would just show up too?! 

Kylee was certainly glad Kent was home after a one night overnight for work.  He's not gone very often and when he is, he is definitely missed.

Kylee is keeping busy with cross country and also volleyball camps.

Friday night we had a lazy night at home then Saturday we packed full of fun! We started the day with the Chamber Chill Fun Run.  It was very appropriately named- I think the temperature hovered around 20 degrees while the kids ran!

Pre-race stretching

Pattersons and Reamans, ready to run!

All kids were happy with how they finished.

And Kent and I were proud of our runners!

My friends and I had fun watching.

As soon as the race was over, we went to Uncle Kyle and Aunt Julia's to celebrate the April birthdays (Kael, me, Kase, Cindy all have birthdays in April).

Everyone made it so special.  Cindy had this awesome snack tower for Kael!

Kent and Kyle were twinning.

Kase was thrilled with his gifts!

Kael too!

This was Uncle Kyle's idea...

Truly I am overwhelmed with how thoughtful everyone is and how lucky I am to have married into such a great family.  Cindy took time to make sure everyone would have their favorite foods- Kyle and Julia were awesome hosts, and everyone really picked out gifts that were just perfect for the boys. 

Finally, it warmed up a bit and the sun came out so we went across to the park and tried out Kael's new drone! Well, technically everyone else went while I got to stay back and hold Kellen while she slept and chat with Kaity!

Love this crew.

We had to leave the party sooner than we wanted but were glad we got to spend a few hours with everyone! We dropped Kylee off at a friend's house then took Kael to a birthday party.  I'm so happy for him that he got to be a part of it and he had a really great time.

Sunday after church we bummed around home for a bit then Kent and I got new phones.  Such a learning curve for me and anything techie that is new takes so much getting used to! So I was thankful that Kent took care of most of it.  We met some friends at Trail Point to swim, then Kylee went to a friend's house and Kael's friend came here to play Nerf guns with Kael and Kase. Later we had family movie night.  It was a great weekend!
