Keegan Lately...

Life in Keegan's house is pretty standard--play a lot, argue about playing with mommy's phone a lot, eating, sleeping, and peeing. But wait..peeing..in the POTTY! Whoot whoot that's right folks Keegan has mastered the art of peeing (and pooping) in the potty. After a 1am demand by Keegan for mommy to "change my diaper, it's heavy, I peed to much" Mommy decided that was it, no more diapers. So that's what we told Keegan, and lo and behold he was cool with it. We have had very few accidents and 1 very proud owner of some new spiderman undies! Way to go, Keegan!

Note: initially we were bribing Keegan with suckers if he peed--now we are working on unbribing as this kid pees a lot and there is no way to brush his teeth enough for the amount of suckers he has consumed!

Keegan took a trip with Mommy to Des Moines for a baby shower for her friend, Mindy and baby Cora. Keegan got to hear all kinds of stories about Mommy and meet another kiddo, Elle!

Keegan got to go out to eat at a new restaurant (thank you, groupon) and gorged on the most yummy mac n' cheese ever!

Potty training includes not leaving the house...so Keegan got to have lots of outside time..as well as putting up our mini pink tree a little early!

First Creighton Volleyball game..(or any sporting event)

Other then that excitement, Keegan went to see Santa. He was so so so excited to meet him and tell him what he wanted for Christmas but now states "I don't like Santa." Maybe next year. He does love the idea, however, of Santa flying through the sky (with presents), landing on our roof (with presents) and coming down the chimney (with presents).  

The rest of the Santa trip was a success (and actually he saw him again at Bass Pro Shop and did manage to tell him what he wanted and give him a high 5) and Keegan proves to be his Mama's boy loving everything about Christmas! (well, except Santa)

The kid loves his popcorn!

Finally, Keegan got to help decorate for Christmas. He loved hanging ornaments (although he found 1 branch he loved and Mommy had to do some damage control, the poor branch couldn't hold the 15 ornaments he stuck on it!)

               Don't forget Kona! Mommy is sure he loves Christmas, too!

Happy Birthday, GG!.....and some other stuff

Happy Happy Birthday to Grandpa Gary (aka GG). Another year gone, but no worries gramps, you don't look a day over 21! For the record, we did try and record a birthday message this morning but without naming names, a certain 2.5 year old was not having it. Sorry!

Keegan has been up to a lot the last few weeks...he went trick or treating..TWICE! He also went to the zoo...TWICE! Spoiled. On to pictures...

                             Hanging with Kona...still mostly a one-sided love affair

                            Trick or treating with his cousin the bumble-bee!

After trick or treating at the outdoor mall, they lit a big tree of carved pumpkins

At the zoo! Petting starfish and other gross things in the aquarium

 Mommy loves this picture because he is flapping his arms and it looks like he doesn't have any!

                                 2 minutes after we left the zoo....

       Tuesday night snack before bed---who knew in 2 hours he would wake up covered in puke!?

Wednedsay morning--after a long night, a few more puke episodes, thinking he wants a banana...needless to say he took one bite and was done

 Back to his old spidey self on Thursday! Had a great Halloween party at day care!

 Pouty face--how dare Mommy expect me to eat supper before we go get candy

                     He mastered the art of trick or treating

 Mommy has some vacation to use so she took the day after Halloween off--lunch date!

 Great Aunt Rita came for a long weekend and we took yet another trip to the zoo

Phew...what a fun few weeks! Minus the flu of course. Now for a few videos in honor of GG....

"The Claw!" Keegan learned this from GG and busts it out whenever we have a tickle fight..however sometimes he gets mad and says "no, GG does it"

And finally...all he needed was a donut to be persuaded to send a message....

Happy Birthday, GG! We love you!

"I'm keeping my pants on in case I sh*t..."

Just one of the many quotes from Nebraska Market to Market 2013. Spoken by Keegan's Aunt Cari. Classy. Unfortunately she was dead serious and for a legit reason. Moving on. Mommy ran in the Nebraska M2M last weekend. It was go around #2 for the team Pavement Princesses who only had 2 newbies from the previous run. 78 miles were covered by 8 team members running from Omaha to Lincoln. Fun was had, memories made, and crazy quotes said. A few pictures from the day..


            One of the 20-something hand offs we did during the day

And another...please notice the terrain..grass...gravel...basically everything pavement. We are lucky we got to wear shoes.

     Mommy just thought this was amusing...Aunt Cari in her tiara, looking lonely

 Princesses all got to join together for the last 0.3 miles to finish

 It's a family affair! Cousin Tracy, Mommy, Fabulous Aunt Kay, & Aunt Cari (who braved ditching the pants)

                                    Park time with Mommy!

That's all for another round of Keegan (and Mommy this time!). Stay tuned for a fun filled Halloween!
