We've Been Busy. . .

Well, I knew that August and September were going to be pretty hectic, which they were. But surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as I thought. I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. Here's what we've been up to:

We finalized Patton's adoption! Woohoo! We never feared that our birth mom or dad would take Patton away. I always feared what the state of California would have us do next. "Actually, you now need this certification. . ." It's nice to not have to worry about that anymore. On a side note, obviously the man next to Sam was our judge/commissioner. The lady next to me was the Deputy Clerk, who happened to be my Primary teacher when I was little. So we invited her to come to Patton's finalization. What a small world!

Now for the big event. . .Patton's sealing!! *Angelic choir sings* We did Patton's sealing over Labor Day weekend and it was PERFECT! What really helped to seal the perfectness was that because Sam's Dad was recently baptized, Sam's parents were also able to be sealed, and then have Sam and his siblings sealed to them. I was a bawl baby through it all! It was wonderful!

It's official now! Patton, you can't get rid of us! Muahahah!

Family kiss!

Most of the people in the sealing room. We both have LOTS of family! It was wonderful to see everyone's love and support!

Since family was in town, we did lots of family stuff. . . like Disneyland! My family LOVES Disneyland! So, Patton and I went with Jeremy & Valerie. This was outside Patton's first ride, the Buzz Astroblaster Ride. Patton loved all the lights, but hated the loud noises!

The happy couple!

Us on the Jungle Cruise. Patton LOVED the water rides- Small World & Jungle Cruise. He kept trying to reach down and touch all the water. That boy loves water. . . he so got that from Sam!

Patton also loved watching all the people and the sounds. He's very intently watching the parade in this picture. I couldn't pry him away from the parade. That boy is such a social butterfly!

On one night in September, Sam was feeding Patton and Patton was ALMOST asleep when he completely vomitted the entire contents of his bottle all over himself & Sam. Patton thought it was pretty funny. . .we weren't as amused. Ah, the joys!

Patton and I also went to Disneyland with my parents (I told you my family loves Disneyland). I love both of their expressions in this pic. We had fun hanging out with my parents, riding all the rides, and eating churros. I'm obsessed with the churros at Disneyland! Yum, yum!

Mom & Patton also had a blast together. Patton LOVED to jump all over Mom's lap. . . he's an active boy! :)

We were finally able to get Sam to take a day off from work! Woohoo! So, Dad, Sam, Patton & I went to the Reagan Presidential Library. Sam & Patton are preparing for their upcoming Presidential race. Haha! Yeah right!

Well, I think this post is long enough. I'll do another post about Patton's stats/achievements on another day. I'm blogged out!
