Trying to fit in with the big kids!!!

My father-in-law is a principal at an elementary school, so we take full advantage of his gym when we have family gatherings or when we just need to wear Keegan out a little. Well, over Easter weekend all of the grandkids went down to the school with their favorite uncle, Jesse, and played a little basketball. Keegan figured he was just as big as the other kids and decided he needed to run with them too. It was so cute because he was in the mix with all of the older kids and was trying to keep up with them and did pretty well but in the end he was just a little slow. But he still had so much fun!!

He has quite the personality lately, he is at the stage when he has to copy everything anybody says or does. For example, when adults laugh, he has to fake laugh right along with us, or if someone is resting their hands on their chin then he has to copy them and do the same, also if he sees somebody folding their arms whether it be to say the prayer or just fold their arms, he has to also fold his arms. The list could go on and on. He is always coming up with new things that amaze me every single day, he cracks me up! I just love the kid.

Playing basketball with the big kids!!

Here is a video of Keegan playing basketball! I couldn't get one with him running with the big kids because as soon as he saw the camera he had to stop and come check it out!! So this video will have to do. He had such a fun time with all of his cousins!!

First of Many...

Keegan and Sophie

As you all know, I am the worst blogger and I hope I can start blogging more! Hopefully. My title says it all, I have a lot to blog about but I just don't have the time so this one is the first of many! I hope that when finals are over I will blog more! Yay, one year down!!! Anyways, the video above cracks me up. Keegan got this Cars fourwheeler for christmas and he rides it everywhere. Well, one night he had to give his partner in crime, Sophie, a ride and they both loved it. Keegan and Sophie are just two months apart and I love that he has a cousin so close in age. They play so well together, I just love it! I hope you all enjoy. Sorry it is sideways.

FINALLY!!

WOW!! I have finally found some time to blog. I have officially become the worst blogger out there! We have been a little busy the last couple of months and I just haven't felt like blogging so I didn't. Anyways, I am sure this whole blog will be about the little guy above, Keegan. He truly seems to amaze me every single day. He is learning so much and he picks up on things so quickly. Jesse or I will say something to him and he repeats the word right back to us, it is crazy. He is now 18 months old, the fun stage, and he is so funny. He is a handful sometimes but for the most part he is really good. He definitely knows when people are paying attention to him because he puts on a show for everybody and he knows he is the center of attention.

Keegan is such a talkative little bugger and he jabbers from the minute he wakes up until the minute he goes to sleep. Here are a couple of the words he says:

Mommy Phone Shoes Poppy (dog)

Daddy Ball Teets(treats) Chicken

Grama Doggie Ba-Ba Noo-N00 (Noodles)

Granpa Tree Turtle No! No! No!

Whas that? (what's that)

Where mote? (where's the remote)

Where the ball?

Where they go? (whenever someone leaves)

Jesse taught him how to say why? which he thinks is hillarious, but I don't think it is to to funny. Also when you yell his name he yells back What!! He is too too cute. And he says a lot more words I just can't think of them right now. I need to write them down.

As for Jesse and I, we are pretty boring. Jesse is just going to work and I am still going to school which keeps me pretty busy. A couple of months ago Jesse and I were able to leave Keegan home with my mom for the weekend and we went up north with some friends and stayed in a hotel and went to a Hockey game. So much fun. It was nice to have us time away from the little one. We need to do it more often. Yeah, I know, we are BORING!! But that is okay cause I like to just hang out at home with the two men in my live who I love very much.

Sorry it's so long and boring!

November

November has been a crazy, but fun month for our family. I know I am really behind but I wanted to post this as a journal for myself. At the first of the month we took a trip to San Francisco with Jesse's sister and her husband for our 2nd Anniversary. We had so much fun, we went to Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, and did lots and lots of shopping. It was so nice to get away and just relax. It is so crazy to think that Jesse and I have been married for two years now. I just want to let him know what a wonderful husband and father he is and I don't know where I would be without him. I LOVE YOU HONEY!! Jesse also had the opportunity of blessing my sister's little boys Ryker and Bridger. He did such an amazing job and I am soo proud of him and thankful for him that he was able to do it. Keegan is definitely keeping me on my toes. He is growing up so fast and it is so wonderful to watch him learn new things everyday. His new thing he does is he loves loves Oreo cookies so when he gets one, he pulls the cookies apart and just eats the frosting and then he is done with the cookie. It kills me. As for myself, I have been super busy with school and keeping up with Keegan. We had a good Thanksgiving and it was nice to have a little break. Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to....

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY KEEGAN

WOW!! I can't believe my baby is one year old. August 24th was his birthday (sorry I am very behind with blogging) and we just had a little party for him with family and friends. I came up with this crazy idea to try and make his birthday cake. I made him a turtle cake because he has this blown-up turtle that he carries with him everywhere, he loves his turtle. The cake turned out better than I thought it would have. I decorated the big cake and my sweet husband Jesse decorated the little cake, and that cake was Keegan's own personal cake that he dug into. It was such a good day. I don't know what I would do without him, he is such a blessing and we love him very much.

 

Some of the things Keegan has accomplished:

Walking, Running

Dancing

Climbing, Kicking the Ball

Getting into EVERYTHING!!

Demands he pushes the shopping cart at the Grocery Store

Tickles people and anything he walks by

 Some words he is saying:

Momma, Dadda, Turtle, Juice, Shoes, Hi

Tickle, Tickle, Tickle

What's that (says it really fast)

See it, woof-woof, teets(treats)

He jabbers from the minute he wakes up until the minute he goes to sleep.

Happy Birthday Little Man!!

We Love You!

AUGUST

August was a CRAZY month for the Jones' family. It was Keegan's 1st Birthday, I started back into school, and we moved all within a week and a half. We did manage to have a little bit of fun and here are some pictures of the "little man" golfing. Also Keegan thinks he is such a big boy so he decided to climb up onto the foot stool.

BUSY-BUSY-BUSY

Wow!! What a busy month it has been for us. First off, I signed up for school which I was a little nervous about, but now I think I will be okay with it. Second we decided last monday that we were moving. We started packing thursday and was all done moving saturday afternoon. Now I just have to clean both houses and then I will be settled in. Yesterday was Keegan's 1st birthday, and it was such a good day. Another crazy happening in our lives is Jesse is getting surgery on his heart tomorrow to fix a couple of holes on his heart(extremely nervous). And then friday is my birthday. Yay! Also I have had to start dropping Keegan off at Daycare so I can go to class, and both him and I have had a hard, hard time with it. He has only been babysat one other time in his life (kind of sad) and so when I drop him off at Daycare he has a really hard time which I have a hard time with it and him screaming only makes it worse, so I hope things will get better. When my life settles down a little more, I will post some pictures.
