PATRICK THE ROCK STAR

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Mon, 22 Sep 2014 02:39:00 +0000

So I keep doing Special Olympics and winning metal after metal. This is cross country skiing. I do track, bocci, bicycling, and other sports.

Do you think I could make it on the cover of ski magazine? Yea, met too.

My Mom made like 200 pounds of chocolates this year. They are my favorite.

My Dad is into trains and I went to Ogden with him to see this old and very huge train engine. He was more excited than me about it but we had fun.

Look how tall the wheels were. The train was at least three engines long.

I am not really into the caboose as much as Paul but I have spent some time up there.

This is my niece Ava and her brother Isaac. I think they might be in trouble.

My Dad took me to one of my favorite places, Temple Square in Salt Lake City, UT. The first picture is called the Christus and the grounds are beautiful. We had lunch with my brother Christopher who works near Temple Square.

My beautiful sister Cathrine spoils me and Paul. She takes us on dates and buys us things. She is so fun and good to us. She ran the Boston Marathon again and other marathons, the Ragnar and other races.

Our Mom is the best. She is lots of fun and takes great care of us. Whew, she has lots of energy.

Paul and I were the stars of the Phillips family talent show. This is our granny dance.

PAUL KEEPING BUSY

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Mon, 22 Sep 2014 02:02:00 +0000

We had a great time this summer just chillin. This great hot dog bus came to town. They were so good. They were tasty and they put honey on them. This is Paul and Patrick.

Remember my Dad's caboose? Me and Dad have been working on it for a long time.

My Dad wanted to kind of restore it but I decided we need to gut it and start over.
This is Paul starting to tear it down.

This is how it looked after I had torn our a lot of stuff. This is me getting down to the bare floor. I did most of the tearing stuff out.

This is one room we nearly have done

The dirtiest part was pulling out the wood and insulation. My brother Christopher came up and helped me. We got dirty but we had fun. Christopher is lots of fun.

I did get go up to the mountains with my dad, sisters and nieces and nephews. We had fun. I love my nieces and nephews.

A COUPLE OF COOL DUDES.

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Mon, 22 Sep 2014 01:19:00 +0000

So I may be cool but my dad is a slacker and hasn't kept our blog up.

If I wasn't so charming I might be upset.

Patrick up to the wild flowers and our place in Idaho

My dad took me to see a painting of my niece at an art show. She is beautiful and the painting was the hit of the show.

IDAHO

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Sun, 10 Nov 2013 04:59:00 +0000

We were born and raised in Riverdale, Idaho. Here are some pictures of there.

This is the home we all grew up in. We now live in Logan, UT

We still have a small piece of property up there on the river.

We call it Walden.

This is part of it, you can see the shelter

Our Dad grows the best melons there

Dad also has an orchard, berry patch and garden

This is just before you get to our place

We have planted some pretty wild flowers up there as well

This is a picture my dad took of sunset

There is an old metal and wood bridge there. This is taken from the bridge and our property is on the right.

Our friend and neighbor Rusty Smith took this great picture near our place

This place in the orchard is very special to Dallin Paul because his two favorites dogs are buried there. He takes good care of their graves. One of them was named Dodger and he slept with Paul.

Now we have the caboose at Walden and we are fixing it up

The only rule there

PATRICK AND DAD

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Sun, 10 Nov 2013 03:56:00 +0000

Tonight my dad and I made some dang good Penuche.

It took a long time to make

But it was so good

MY FAMILY REUNION

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Tue, 29 Oct 2013 04:23:00 +0000

FAMILY REUNION, 2013

So all of my my brothers and sisters and their families got together this summer and it was great fun.

This is me at the family pictures on Old Main Hill

This is my parents and brothers and sisters. They look pretty normal right? Just wait...

My Mom worked so hard to make it good. Paul is not real big into big crowds.

I got to have my birthday party while everyone was here. It was great fun.

NOW THIS IS WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE STRANGE. You decided if my family is okay.

Almost everyone decided to bridge jump, this is Christopher jumping from the top. He did a flip. When he was in high school he jumped from here every month of the year. So did Rebecca. That might explain some of it.

He is supposed to be very smart?

Then all the little kids started doing it. This is Ava

This is Owen

My Mom. It might be inherited.

THEN THEY ALL FLOATED AWAY:

Mom and others

Beautiful Sophie

My Dad, has anyone seen him downstream since then?

I worry about my family at times.

Do you think there are enough of us? I have eighteen nephews and nieces all 10 yrs old or under.

Mikey got his Dad's dancing skills.

Thank heavens I have lots of beautiful nieces, here are just a three of them.

We had a talent show. Paul and I contributed with a Granny Dance.

Of all the talent shows I have seen or heard of this was one of them, barely.

This is my sister Cathrine and my brother Brian. He is a professor of vocational rehabilitation at the University of Wisconsin. They think he is really smart but I think he might be a client.

Don't ask me, it was Mom's idea

But a good time was had by all. Boy did we have fun.

PATRICK'S LATEST

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Tue, 29 Oct 2013 03:36:00 +0000

I had a very busy summer. I love to spend time with my family, including extended family. All of my brothers and sisters were here this summer and we had a Nelson Family reunion in Arizona and a Phillips Family reunion, both with his Uncles and Aunts and cousins as well. He loves family.

PHILLIPS FAMILY

This is some of Uncle Rick's family

This is some of Uncle Kevin's family

This is a dog pile fight

This was Uncle Wayne's family. They were in charge and did a great job and cooked a great dinner.

This is some of Uncle Clynn's family

This is some Uncle Mike's family

These are Aunt Myrna's sons. It's been a long time since I had seen them all. It was my favorite part

This is my family except for JoAnna, Chad and their girls.

Patrick and his family traveled to St. George for his nephew's Michael's baptism. He had three nephews and a niece baptized this summer.

I don't have pictures of the Nelson family reunion in Flagstaff, AZ but I will get some.

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 04:51:00 +0000

In September my sister Cathrine ran a whole marathon. She has done a lot of them, including the one in Boston. She was less than a mile away from the finish line when the bomb went off in Boston. Here she is running the Top of Utah one. Me and Dad went and watched her. It was fun.

Isn't she one pretty girl?

She didn't feel so good for a little while after she finished.

We had to walk a mile from our parking to see my sister run the marathon. It was hard for me and my Dad. I think we might drink too much soda. On our way we walked by the temple. I want to get married there some day but my family tells me I need to start going to church, be baptized and find a woman. Maybe I'll wait a bit.

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 04:39:00 +0000

Our town has an annual Pumpkin Walk; it's really cool. They have several acres decorated with pumpkin and pumpkin scenes. My favorite was the Princess Bride one but I forgot to get a picture. Here are some with me and some of my family at the North Logan Pumpkin Walk:

I am Yoda...

My nephew Isaac. These are made of pumpkins and squash.

My silly nephew Owen as Yoda

My pretty niece Ava riding the train.

Here is part of the M.A.S.H. display. It even had Radar.

Me the Super Hero and my Dad's dog Amy. Amy loves me very much.

Halloween is my favorite holiday and I have a lot of masks and scary things. Somebody in the store thought I was Sam Smith?

UPDATE

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 04:25:00 +0000

So our Dad hasn't kept this updated like he should so you have missed a lot about our exciting lives. First here is Paul's news and then we will do Patrick's.

My dad bought a caboose. Not everyone in the family understands how cool it is but Paul does. We go up a couple of times a week to work on it. We go up every Tuesday when I don't have work or school. It sits on our property by the river.

Here's the caboose:

It's way cool and we go up and work on it quite a bit, just me and Dad. We almost always go up on Tuesday. Here's what the inside looked like when he first got it:

It was a mess but we are really working hard on it. I have torn out a lot of walls and boards. My last work has been tearing up the linoleum. It's really hard work because it is glued to wood in some places. Dad and I have taken out walls, the sink, cots, chairs, and lots of stuff. Here I am working on it.

If it weren't for orange Mountain Dew I don't know if I could do it.

GOING TO NYLA'S

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:52:00 +0000

Here we are with our nephew Isaac and dad at our favorite c-store. We may be their best customer.

CROSS COUNTY MEET

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 02:59:00 +0000

Patrick had a great day at the regional SO cross-county skiing competition today up in Ogden Valley. What a beautiful day and he took silver in the 3 and 5K.

NEW NEPHEW AND NIECES

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 16:21:00 +0000

Since we last posted we have a new nephew and two nieces.

Here is the newest; his name is Jonathan

And then Lily was before him.

And Lucy was before Lily. They are lots of fun.

We love our nephews and nieces.

IT'S ABOUT TIME

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 16:00:00 +0000

Our Dad hasn't kept this blog up to date. We told him we were going to drown him if he didn't,

He finally did and then we had fun,

Yep, we have skills baby... Patrick's back shot.

And his long shot.

Paul has his game on also.

His short shot.

FUN LATELY

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 06:11:00 +0000

We went out for Chinese food with dad and mom.

We went to Temple Square and saw the Christmas lights.

One of Patrick's favorite things is for Uncle Rick to play "On the Road Again" and he got it for his birthday. Notice his dancing skills

PATRICK'S BIRTHDAY

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 18:53:00 +0000

Patrick had a great time on his birthday. We had dinner at Golden Corral (his favorite) then we had a birthday party at Chad and JoAnna's house. We sang happy birthday and best of all Uncle Rick showed up to play him "On the Road Again". Every time he comes Patrick requests it. Thanks for all your comments. Patrick loved them.


Patrick has a big family

Dinner at his favorite place, Golden Corral, with his friend DeVon

All the family was there.

Then a huge German chocolate birthday cake

Wonder what he wished for

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Sun, 05 Aug 2012 14:43:00 +0000

IT'S PATRICK'S BIRTHDAY. He loves birthdays. If you have time leave him a note on this page. He will read them over and over. No one enjoys a birthday more than he does. This is his nephew Isaac with him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLIN PAUL

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 00:53:00 +0000

Dallin Paul loves a good party

Looking at his new very small camcorder. He was very excited. He got a lot of nice presents from the family

Dad and Dallin Paul

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:36:00 +0000

Dallin Paul figured out dad's iPhone camera.

Great fun

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 20:05:00 +0000

We got to ride in my dad's cousin's Buick Riviera at the Cache Valley Cruise-In parade. I think we were the hit of the parade. We had a lot of fun. Thanks Katy.

Happy Father's Day

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:53:00 +0000

Patrick and Dallin Paul made sure their dad had a great Father's Day. We got him an Idaho fishing license which he was very excited about.

Goodbye

noreply@blogger.com (Dallin) — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 19:48:00 +0000

Dallin Paul visited the grave of Dodger for the first time. It was on a hot summer day. He sat there for about 30 minutes or more alone and talking to him. It was pretty sweet.
