Guess Who's Home

Just yesterday--our very own--Elder Kyle Patterson returned home from serving in the Tulsa Oklahoma mission!!!

Nicholas is so happy to have his Uncle Kyle back!

There are Farmers in the Dell

Here are my two hard working farmers. Ryan and Nicholas have disked, leveled, and laid pipe over the last couple of weeks to get Grandpa's field ready for irrigating. On Father's Day the boys got to irrigate for the very first time on their very first field.

I cannot tell you how excited Nicholas was to finally get to wear the irrigation boots he had been trying on every day for weeks, and you would've thought Christmas had arrived when Nicholas found out that he would get to work ALL through the night with his Dad!!!

Ryan and the kids taking a little break in the shade.

Uncle Adam got home from BYU just in time to help!

Super Seven

Our Nicholas turned seven yesterday!

We ate pizza and went bowling in Show Low with Grandma and Aunt Lora.

Here's the birthday boy in action. Nicholas has never bowled before and he beat out me, Audrey, and Aunt Lora for 3rd place with a high score of 93!

Nicholas loves little cars and trucks, and this year he asked for a "road cake." Here's what we came up with... a triple chocolate fudge cake with accompanying semi and race car.
