Together Time

We enjoy being together. Each of us has many interests and hobbies. We share in these hobbies so we can spend more time together.
We all love the outdoors. Patrick's favorite thing to do is go camping. Heather loves to make the boys go hiking too. Hunter and Cameron love anything that gets them outside even if it is just throwing rocks (which happens to be one of their favorites).

 

 

One of Patrick's favorite outdoor sports is snowboarding. Patrick taught Heather how to snowboard a few years ago. Patrick was such a patient teacher and he cannot wait to teach our kids how to snowboard too. We loved taking Hunter and Cameron to play in the snow this winter.

 Both of us enjoy playing sports. Growing up Patrick played baseball, basketball, and volleyball. Heather did dance, cheerleading, softball, and swimming. Now we love to go to the golf driving range, riding ATV's, or going on long bike rides together. Patrick likes to golf and play basketball (he is already teaching the boys) and Heather enjoys running (has completed a few half-marathons) and kickboxing. We love being active and getting to know others through sports and want to share this with our children.

Travelling is another hobby that we have. We have been to many places in the world and across the US. We love packing our stuff and taking off to new and exciting destinations. Some of our favorite memories as children were on family vacations and we plan on taking family trips often.

 

One of Heather's favorite hobbies is reading. She enjoys learning and exploring new ideas through books. Patrick and Heather love reading books together and reading books to our boys.  Hunter and Cameron are both little book worms and are always wanting to read more and more books. Both Patrick and Heather have worked hard to put themselves through college. We value education and hope to pass the joy of learning on to our children.

We also love and appreciate music. In high school we loved going to concerts together.  Our boys love music and we are always having dance parties. 

Heather is also artistic and draws, knits, sews, and crochets. Heather has enjoyed sharing this love of art with our boys already even if it is walking around an art gallery pointing out the animals in the pictures or teaching them the basics of finger painting.  Painting, drawing, and coloring are things the boys are always wanting to do.

We enjoy cooking and baking together; having fun together in the kitchen is a must. Our favorite part is enjoying our culinary creations.

 

We like to get out as a family and find fun things close to home to do. We visit the park, library, museums, and zoo. Our boys are very interested in animals and gets so excited about the new places. We are always on the go finding something new.

  

While we enjoy all of these different activities, sometimes it is wonderful to stay home and having fun as a family playing games, building forts, watching movies, discovering toys, and relaxing together. We love being a family and spending time together. We hope to share these hobbies and interests with our children and give them an opportunity to discover their own talents
