Happy Birthday Patrick!
Patrick turned 12 on July 10th.. It is so crazy to think how fast it has gone! He was born at 5:30 pm on a VERY hot day in Las Vegas. I was so happy to finally of gone into labor and not be pregnant anymore in the heat. He was so perfect and bigger than I thought he would be. We were so excited to have him arrive since it was our first and also the first grand baby on my side. He has had his struggles through the years with being a late bloomer in talking and speech and reading, etc. He is now a wonderful reader and can talk up a storm...
He is now taking his first step into being a man, which is crazy for me to think about. He will be ordained in the Aaronic Priesthood this sunday. It's just weird to think of him being able to do certain things now and pass the sacrament.. he is growing up. And for me its strange to see. I think its the first child thing when they hit all those mile stones and then the next ones it just gets easier.
We celebrated Patrick's birthday this year at home with his favorite meal, chicken quesadillas, rice and chips. I then made his favorite cake, yellow with white frosting and sprinkles.. He received a golf blanket that I made him, a used play station that he has wanted and then from grandparents he bought himself a mine craft pick ax ( he knows what its for). He is going to celebrate with a few friends on friday at Boonedocks fun center.. Hope you had a great day Patrick and we love you so much! You are a great kid!

Happy Birthday Patrick! Hard to believe these boys are growing up so fast. It was really strange last year when Kent was blessing the sacrament and Matthew started passing it. Soon, I will have a missionary. YIKES! HA! Miss you guys.
