The Patrickisims

#1 Never expect things to be easy.

#2 Leaving Katelynn or Abigail alone invites disaster.

#3 Never give up, never surrender.

#4 Even though life is what you make of it,there is only so much you can do with finite resources.

#5 You are only as sick as you let yourself believe.

#6 Just because you can do something, does not mean you should agree to do it. (Jed's new work motto) :-)

Homemade water park

On Friday after sleeping most of the day, darn chrons, I decided to have a little fun with the girls. Since our lawn needed to be watered anyway, the auto timer had gone down to 5 min per zone, I would pull out the hose sprinkler and give my girls a water park.




Kateynn insisted that I take a photo of her going down the slide. It was a pretty good shot I thought.

And where Katie goes.....



Abbie follows.

My father

Today is my fathers birthday, since it is a Sunday we went to the traditional birthday dinner together.



My father has always been someone I have loved and respected. Happy birthday to the man who I still believe can do anything.

Batter UP!!!

As our summer begins our five year old Katelynn has begun to learn how to play softball. Among the first things she learned is not to call it baseball, it is softball she reminds us if we ever call it baseball.
Last time at practice they began to actually "play" a game. Carrie said it was very funny, I was doing the late shift at work. She is so cute playing though.

Place 2: On top of my father, she hung out in this place for a very long time, especially considering she is a 4 month old.
