Here are some pictures from some fun at a picnic yesterday…..Patrick really enjoyed the skateboard the big kids had. You can see he was NOT happy when he had to get off and take turns. Then when we got home, he took Matt’s keys and tried putting them in the doorknob! Very smart! He’s picking up on a lot of things lately. We happen to think he is extra-smart, of course, but we really have nothing to compare him to. 
What a long day for me! I went to bed sooo late but it was so fun to stay up and play with people, eat food, and watch fireworks. I kinda liked the colors at first, but not the sound. So I cried, then I got some milk, but it was still scary. We went inside and I had more milk while we watched through the glass. Eventually we went back outside while I kept drinking milk. It was much better that way, but it was still pretty loud. They covered my ears some. I was pretty tired so after a while I just chilled while we watched them. All in all, a fun weekend! (Pictures are coming later, Mom says.)
Yeah, he grabbed and ate the WHOLE SLICE!

Sitting on someone’s lap from church….SO tired!
Wanting to get into the lake water during a photo shoot….adorableness!
Mommy brought home chickies the other day from Estes Hatchery for a Mother’s Day special for Pure Captures. She took some snapshots of me and one of them today. She says a proper photo shoot is in order later, since Daddy was wearing long underwear and a sweatshirt on the porch. (And the lighting was bad, but they thought I was too cute and just had to take some right then!) There are three of them. I squeezed one. It cheeped REALLY loudly! I was kinda mad when Mommy wrestled my fingers off the chickie and made me let it go. I guess she doesn’t trust me with it. They must not be as smart as me because they keep coming up to me and I can catch them over and over.
