Technical Time Out

After 3 days of attempting to upload photos, screaming/yelling/cussing at the computer, and daddy reminding mommy she is hopeless with technology--Mommy finally came across a blogger help forum which states that lots of bloggers are having issues uploading photos. PHEW. We were sure it was an operator error.

So, while Keegan does have tons of news and pictures to share--it may be a few days. For now, head to  this website and check out his 18 month pictures

Thankful, Thankful, Thankful

Mommy decided to do a Thanksgiving post today since the days up until the big day of feasting will be busy.

Pictures are in the rare this week but we promise to make up for on the long holiday weekend!

This year Mommy & Daddy have sooo much to be thankful for. Great jobs, living in a great city to raise a family, making some awesome friends, and of course--our Keegan!

Every day Keegan does or says something new to make Mommy thank God that he is part of our lives. From his smiles and belly laughs as a baby, to forming a personality (a strong willed one at that) and meeting milestone after milestone, to hearing "mommy..daddy...love you!"...we just can't be more thankful to be his mom and dad.

It's the little things we are realizing...watching his eyes light up when he sees a Christmas tree...watching him snuggle up to his blanket when he is tired...begging us to read him story after story...he is the center of our Thanksgiving this year!

We thought it would be fun to look back a year and see a picture of Keegan's 1st Thanksgiving..

Yes..it is as it looks...8 month old Keegan is defending his Thanksgiving dinner...and he continues the trend today...12 months later!

And today...a few days short of Turkey Day....

Again...eating....in his high chair...this time yelling "touchdown!"

We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday full of fun with family and friends!!

Cousins!

Keegan got to spend the weekend with his cousins from Iowa! Jace & Lexa came to visit and there was   playing, eating, and bad habits being learned going on!

                     On a walk with Kona..stopped for some play time!

           Killing time waiting for his cousins to arrive....a bubble bath!

Saturday was an oddly warm for November kind of day so a trip to the park was in order.

After lunch out at Aunt Cari's favorite restaurant (Bravo) some shopping took place complete with playing in the kids area

Supposed to be worn out after a long day...

Sunday was the complete opposite of Saturday...coooold and windy! So obviously a trip to the zoo was the event of the day!

Before the zoo we had to fill up on yummy cinnamon rolls at Wheatfields....Keegan and Lexa decided to hold hands under the table 

Looking at something super cool at the zoo!

It took all of mommy's efforts to keep Keegan from jumping in with animals

                            According to Aunt Cari.."they look just like us!"

                             Jace and Keegan taking time out for a photo op

                                                  Mommy and her love!

As good as it's going to get trying to get 3 sugar filled kids to stop, smile, and look the same direction!

Next weekend Keegan has some big plans....a first haircut! (maybe, if Mommy doesn't chicken out). Also--putting up the Chrismas Tree!! Tis the Season!

Rabbit Rabbit.

It's officially November! (hence the "rabbit rabbit"..somewhere sometime mommy learned you are supposed to say "rabbit rabbit" on the 1st of the month).  ANYWAY....

November 1st means so many things....Halloween has come and gone...Thanksgiving is in the near future...and Christmas shopping/decorating/baking are about to begin!

October wrapped up with some fun events. Mommy went back to wine tasting country (SE Iowa) for a wine tasting tour with the gals of the family. Wine was drank, a wedding crashed, but luckily no repeats of last year.


                                   At the 1st winery stop of the day

A stop between winery 1 and 2 was made for some "horsechata" shots...normal in the neck of the woods apparently

Keegan dressed up this year as a Rock Star..or something of the sort. Complete with girl's skinny jeans and a blue mohawk he played the part well!

                       Heading to day care for his Halloween Party

  Heading out trick or treating..which Mommy & Daddy were way more excited about the Keegan

Keegan spent the majority of his time in the wagon..his favorite place...he did hop out here and there to beg for candy

                                                    Digging for some loot

Morning after....Mommy swears on that blue mohawk she washed Keegan's hair twice...and when he woke up it was crazy out of control!

Happy Halloween and bring on Thanksgiving & Christmas!
