Memorial Day Weekend 2012. Some would call it a success. Others would call it..well..not so much of a success. Others would call it just plain fun. Keegan and Mommy headed to southeast Iowa (mommy's family). The weekend started off with mommy's best friend getting married. The wedding was good..but..well everything that could go wrong, did.
This picture is as it looks. A bus. A bridal party. A frantic bus driver on a phone. And a corn field. The party bus between wedding and reception broke down. And we were stranded. But there was alcohol. There are no pictures to witness the missing photographer and flowers, the broken A.C in the reception, or any other mishaps. But thus describes the "not so successful" part of the weekend. Hey--they are still married.
Sunday everyone packed up and headed to the Petersen Plantation for some family fun grilling and a scavenger hunt. It was boys vs girls and it got a bit ugly. Luckily we got a baby sitter for all the kids so they didn't witness the nasty cheating that went on. Hence why the guys won.
The fun was followed by more fun at cousin Ashlan's 2nd birthday party. No pictures to prove it but Keegan sat in a swing the entire time we were there. Mommy must invest in one.
The weekend ended on Monday with Grandpa grilling some steaks and potatoes. Keegan opted for berries, berries, and more berries but everyone else enjoyed the food.
Keegan brought the headband to mommy so naturally she obliged and put it on
Woooo I love to give mommy a heart attack!!
Not a great photo, but still proof that Keegan's legs in fact go one in front of the other

The whole group for the hunt at the plantation!
Mommy & Keegan were both sad to see the weekend end. Keegan has been in rare form the last week or so and although always a happy boy, a little oddly happy and smiley. No one is complaining. The kid puts the cheesiest grin on his face and just squeals for no reason. Mommy & Daddy continue to love the little guy more and more every day (not even sure how that is possible!) and he continues to learn and change every day. His latest skill is (well, walking!) and knowing the motions for the itsy bitsy spider. Mommy also heard him attempt to repeat "love you" but he has since refused. Keegan has more fun planned for this next weekend with Great Aunt Rita coming to town. We will be hitting the zoo, Sand in the City, and of course some restaurants. Until next time!
