Spring has Sprung...

Everything here is green and the cactus are starting to bud...but it just wouldnt be spring without REAL flowers. So, thanks to Trader Joes we had some daisys to play with.

I am pretty sure if my kids have vision problems later in life it will be caused by the flash of the camera that they are growing accustomed to. Can you tell I am having LOTS of fun with my baby girl??? Funny since I hated pink and was a tomboy growing up!!!! Anyway...I think these are cute and I have some photoshop plans for them!!!!

Keegan and Reese's New Furry Friend

We are dog sitting...and yes, this is the same little furry guy who made appearances in pics from New Mexico. Duke (and his family) are in AZ now and we are thrilled!!!! Jack has loved having a buddy, Duke is a great visitor and the kids could not be more excited. Unlike Jack...Duke lets the kids snuggle. We are contemplating not giving him back:)

Oh...and I had to take a close up of Reese's butt...this is my new favorite outfit of hers. It has a matching hat...but someone isnt too fond of hats. Maybe we will get the whole ensamble at a later time...

Not quite as cute as the message on Reeses behind is Keegans obsession with putting his finger in his nose. I figured if I truly wanted to show everyone what the kids were up to I had to include this pic. I wouldnt want anyone to think that I was only reporting on the adorable things in our lives. The nose picking started mostly after his cold a few weeks ago when the only way I could wipe his runny nose was to tell him that the boogers were yucky. Now he is on constant booger patrol. This is our boy:)

and the most exciting news...Reese is holding her own bottle. I know it may sound silly...but I have been waiting for this day!!!! We still love to snuggle her while she eats...but it is so nice wen you are on the go or something unexpected happens. HOORAY REESE!!!!!




and unlike Keegan, Duke will share his toys!!!

My little engineer...

Keegan loves stacking anything. Here are some pics from the time we spent inside in the last few days. Although some of you (yes...this is to the fam in OH) wont want to hear this...it has been too warm to keep the kids outside all day. So, these are the moments that I was able to peel Keegan off of the slide and Reese out of the swing for some indoor play.

Notice the pics of Reese waiting to knock everything down. I finally photographed the "dirty look" that she gives Keegan when she gets frustrated:)






The MEAN look

The stare down...not happy that Keegan told her NO

Cheese....

So...as I have mentioned in previous posts I would like to think that I am a budding photographer. I dont think having a digital SLR and only using the auto mode really supports my theory, but I guess that what matters is that I am happy...

So...here are some recent family photos from Grandma and Grandpas visit...

All of these pics were taken within walking distance of our house..which may explain why we dont leave our neighborhood much.

Thanks for a great visit mom and dad...

Nonnie and Boppas visit...

took tons of pics...so make sure you have a drink and some snacks...you might be here for a while

The weather is BEAUTIFUL right now and we are enjoying LOTS of time outside before the heat kicks in within the next few months. Keegan could stay at the park all day long...and Reese is always on the go.

Not too much else new from AZ.

Playtime....

Just some random pics of the kids playing...

Reese is walking behind push toys while Keegan cheers her on. He says "yea Reesey" whenever she does something impressive. Her new hobby is trying to eat the dog food and splash in his water. Since she doenst get much kibble, she also makes sure to share her food with Jack. Tonight at dinner we caught her letting Jack lick jelly off her fingers...and the Gerber biter biscits are basically expensive dog treats these days.

Keegan is obsessed with the number 2..so everything has to come in pairs. We are dogsitting for friends and Keegan just about lost it when there were 2 dogs. He is talking more and more every day...and even becoming understandable to people other than Kurt and I. He is also getting to pretty good at playing catch and can not seem to spend enough time on the slides at the playground. Like we always heard when we were young...they really are growing up too fast.

The zoo....

Here are pics from our playdate at the zoo...

The kids loved it and it was a beautiful day!!!!

Daddy and his girl...

Kisses for Reese before work...

Kisses back to daddy...aka drooling all over daddys face:)
