Patton Family: Playing Catch Up

So much has happened in the last 2 years that i dont think i can actually recall everything!
Nadia is now 10 Years old. she is in the 5th grade (Ms. Murphy's class). she enjoys going to FIGGS to spend time with girls. after spending every waking moment with 3 brothers who could blame her! she loves to sing and dance and is a yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do!!!!! she loves putting her little brother to bed for me on occasions. and he makes her smile. she has come so far and is a brave girl. she has done things that i could never have even imagined at the age she is. she surprises me all time with her energy and excitement for life and learning.For Halloween Nadia dressed up as a Raccoon. I Love that she chose a Raccoon....

Nadia's School Picture 2016-17 she was sick with a fever which is why
she looks so tired!

These two have a special bond

Stake Activity Days August 2016

Belt test from White high to a Yellow

she did Fantastic and got that Yellow Belt

Malik just turned 8! he was just Baptized!!!!! he really opens my eyes to the teachings and joys of the gospel. he has a faith of obedience to gospel truths and standards that i constantly struggle with. he doesnt question his faith for a second and soaks it all in. he is in the 2nd grade (Mrs.Lemagie's class). his teachers says he is so polite and sincere to everyone he meets.he has an eagerness to learn. he also is a yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do!!!!!! this is the One activity that both he and Nadia can do together and not argue. i am so greatful they have something they can build memories together with. it probably helps that they are equally competitive and are slight perfectionists. i wish that would cross over to them cleaning their room. this year for Halloween he dressed up as an Army Medic.
