Weekend Wrap-Up

 Kase was so excited to have Kael home for a little while Wednesday night.  They started playing catch with a football then of course took it to the park to try and do some trick shots.  Love when these two get to spend time together. 

Friday Kent, Keith and Cindy went to Simpson to watch Kael throw.  The weather conditions were not ideal but they loved going to see him.

Friday night was Kase's birthday party.  We planned this pretty last minute once we knew Kylee was running at Drake and I was so thrilled with how many boys were able to come! Every single kid that we invited (plus one- ha!) Urban Air was the perfect spot on a stormy night for these boys to burn off some energy.  Couldn't be happier with the squad Kase has found for himself.  These boys are a pretty special group.

And so generous! Kase got some awesome gifts.  Of course he was excited about all the xBox gift cards but I always love to see all the things the boys write in the cards- one kid even printed off the Crew logo from Google and made it into an envelope for him! 

While I was manning the party, Kent was home with Kylee helping her get all ready for her big day tomorrow.  They grilled steaks, made pasta and enjoyed hanging out.  Later Garrett came over too and that was the perfect night for Kylee. She went to bed early but then the tornado sirens went off and storms were loud all night.  Thankful we didn't have any damage here. I wouldn't say we got a lot of sleep though!

Saturday morning Kylee was up early to head to the Drake Relays! I just couldn't be prouder of her or happier for her.  She has just worked so hard and what an honor and a big deal to get to run there.  

Kase slept in but woke up in just enough time to quick open some gifts before we went to watch Kylee.  

He was just SO happy.  He kept running around saying, "It's my birthday!!!" He LOVED all his gifts but especially his wooden bat and his Retro Jordan 4s.

A quick birthday breakfast of coffee cake before we headed out!

Kylee's cheering squad! Kael even made the trip home from college to support her- love that. And Garrett of course is always there for her!

Goooooo Kylee!!!!

So cool seeing her run on the Blue Oval. 

Kylee PR'd! Our team was 10th out of 20 and ran a season best time.  Way to go, girls! They actually all PR'd and had the second fastest time in school history!

She stayed Drake with her team.  Kent, Kase and I came home and Kael went to Emma's. Kase spent the entire afternoon playing with friends- he said it was the best birthday ever because he had a free day (no school or practices) and it was raining and he could spend the whole day outside with friends.  They played football, pickle, wiffle ball, slid through rain puddles, played FortNite and watched movies. His friends all stayed til late.  Garrett came over to hang out with Kylee.  We ordered pizza and had a nice, chill night here. 

Sunday Kylee and I went to a baby sprinkle for my sister-in-law.  Always great to see the fam- getting excited for Baby Girl Patterson to arrive at the end of May! While we were gone Kent and Kase did some baseball work and a couple of Kase's friends stopped by to join in the fun also. Later Kylee went to Target with a friend, Kent and I went for a walk and worked on planning some upcoming trips.  Kase played out in the rain with friends and was so happy all day. Later Kylee and I went to Garrett's 7-7 football games.  Great weekend!
