Catch-up...again

I forgot to add these pictures to my last post but these are just more from the Discovery Center in Salt Lake.

Patrick is obsessed with strollers, shopping carts, anything he can push

Aiden and Carly are only a few months apart and they were both interested in similar things

Classic Aiden point.  I had to add it. 

Last week we got to attend a Afton's birthday and the theme was horses.  Excited doesn't even start to express how Patrick felt about being able to ride a real, full size horse.

 Keaton jumped on with him and the two were impossible to get off the horse.  These two cousins looove playing with each other.  It's adorable.

Aiden sat on a horse but acted like he didn't see what the big deal was.  Mostly, he just ran around, enjoying the outdoors and looked adorable in his little cowboy get-up.  

Not gonna lie, after this party I started having serious thoughts about getting a horse.  We have a large piece of land we're building on and a horse would definitely fit but I just keep thinking how much work they are.  However, after seeing his excitement and the pure joy on his face, I almost think it'd be worth it.  We were worried that Patrick would be a little nervous to be on such a big horse but he kept telling the horse to go faster.  Even after Jon got the horse in a little trot, it wasn't enough for Patrick.  His little boy dreams came true that day.

Lately, the biggest thing on our minds has been building a house.  We're just in the bidding stage but hopefully we can get everything decided and set so we can start to build in the next month.  We'll see because I know everything takes time, but we are pretty dang excited.  Yesterday in the car Jon asked me what I was thinking about and I told him my thoughts pretty much only revolve around family, kids, house, kids, house, food. :)  We're starting to find out just how big of a headache the process of house building is and there are soo many times I mention to Jon that it would be so nice to just buy a house but I know it will all be worth it.  We feel extremely blessed to be customizing a house that we love.  Here's a little peak of what the house will look like.  I'm sure it will turn out a little different but that's the general idea.

Any tips on building a house would be greatly appreciated. :)
