"I just peed the last quarter mile..."

Just one of the highlights from this year's Iowa Market to Market which Mommy & Cooper participated in over the weekend. The quote is compliments of Cousin Tracy and is somewhat similar to the Shamrock Shuffle 2 years ago...also by Tracy..ahem no more comments. 

Anywho, the Market to Market was the Pavement Princesses 3rd race and deemed to be just as fun as the first 2! While Mommy (and Cooper) only ran 3 miles of it this year (as opposed to the 14 and 12 ) it was still a day full of fun, food, laughs, and potty accidents. 

In other news, Keegan blessed Mommy with a WONDERFUL Mother's Day. We went to Church and then out to brunch with some friends, grilled out and played with Cousin Kynnedy, and ended the day hiding in the basement during a tornado watching "Frozen" and eating ice cream popsicles. 

Enjoy the pictures..in no particular order as they were uploaded from a phone!

High on ice cream popsicles!

Playing with Kynnedy...pardon the blurriness it happens when you zoom on the phone

This kid was SO excited to give Mommy the present he made at day care...he was squealing, jumping up and down, and has re-given it to me about a 100 times, each time calling it "my surprise" (it is a tuna can with painted clothes pins hooked on and a candle in the middle)

After the 3 mile leg...28 weeks preggo!

Aunt Cari scored us a sweet 1 bedroom house to stay in the night before the race...it was cozy and cheap but did require mattresses in in the kitchen to house us all

No race is complete without wine and chocolate!

Mommy & Keegan had a pizza date last week

Unfortunately Mommy didn't get too many pictures during the actual Market to Market race. Rest assured, the Princesses looked good the whole time!

To end things...a few of Keegan's latest one liners at the most appropriate times:

During Church on Sunday: (loudly) "Mommy, when is your belly going to open so Cooper can come out?!"

"Mommy don't go shopping, take a nap with me because you love me"--seriously who is going to say no to that??

"I'm never playing with you ever ever again!"--we hear this multiple times a day if Keegan is told anything remotely close to no

There's more..Mommy needs to write them down as he says them....Until next time!

Keegan's Green Thumb. And The Sprinkler.

Keegan has spent most of his free time outdoors as of late. And Mommy is perfectly ok with it! He absolutely LOVES helping plant and water flowers and checks on recently planted things every morning and night. We are hoping they survive the frequent water he insists in providing. 

We also made HUGE strides the other night! Anyone who knows our little dare devil knows how much he loves despises the sprinkler. Last summer Mommy got multiple pictures from day care of Keegan hiding in the corner of the yard screaming because he wouldn't go anywhere near the sprinkler. Funny..but annoying. This summer Mommy's goal was to master the sprinkler no matter what it took. A Spiderman sprinkler was kind of the thought to entice him but the other night while watering the grass in the front yard Keegan asked if he could go play in the sprinkler. While it was warm it isn't quite "sprinkler weather" but since Mommy knew he wouldn't go near it Keegan was told to go for it. Much to Mommy and Daddy's pure amazement he stripped down and went for it! He was timid at first (but mind you, he was timid while actually getting wet which was waaaaay better then last year!) but soon learned to run through it and..gasp..even get his hair wet! Needless to say Judy was overjoyed to get a picture of the fun and we can all breathe easy knowing summer will be a tad more fun this year!

Not much in other news...Keegan continues to function in one speed--HIGH--and doesn't stop going until bed time. Or talking for that matter. It may be a problem when he asks to play the silent game because he's been asked to play so many times....

This is night #2 of sprinkler when he decided he needed to be totally naked to play in it...followed by a naked bike ride

Woooooo fun!!!

Another new love...water balloons! This summer is looking better and better!

First night of discovering the sprinkler isn't a death trap...

New jammies! 

Water gun fight!!

Keegan and Mommy hit up the first weekend of the Farmer's Market and picked out some flowers!

We celebrated Kona's 3rd birthday...not sure why Keegan is the one that scored the candy necklace....

Blueberry plant!

A Keegan sized strawberry plant....Mommy has doubts we will ever see growth

Watering the strawberries...

Planting the strawberries..

Another great find..."ice cream popsicles!!"

Oh Cooper, we didn't forget about you! Somewhere around 27 weeks

Keegan is going to his first baseball game this weekend with Daddy while Mommy goes to the Market to Market race...sadly no racing will be done by Mommy this year but so much fun is had she has to go along! She is also sure Daddy and Keegan have something spectacular planned for Mother's Day...stay tuned to find out what...
