THREE!!!!

Keegan is officially 3 now....and he is very proud. Yesterday we celebrated as a family with lunch at the bowling alley with uncle Tam (followed by a not so fun grocery shopping trip) then presents in the evening. Nana and Joe-Pa got him a scooter. He has been wanting one but once he had it didnt know how to make it work. No worries though...his baby sister showed him. HILARIOUS!!! All of his gifts from us were Toy Story (his obsession right now) related and he was in heaven!!!!

Yesterday was his PARRRTAAAAYYYY!!! Once again, Toy Story themed. He had all of his best buds over (as did we!!!!) for pizza and cake and ice cream. We gave him his last bday gift from us also...a little tikes bouncy house. He and Reese LOVE it!!!!! It was beautiful outside and the kids played forever. Then they came in , made a disaster of the toy room and we had cake a dn presents. Keegan has some great buds...and he got some REALLY cool things. Games, Transformers stuff, Cars stuff, Star Wars things, dragons, and even a Buzz Lightyear sweatshirt with his name embroidered on it. Oh...and even some new underpants for my potty trained big guy!!!!!

So...here are some pics...it was a great time and Kurt and I are still in shock that we have a 3 year old.

The cake:)

Keegan loved the icing on the bottom of the characters

My big 3 year old!!!!

The birthday sign

Some of the balloons. And the etch a sketch. Kurt wrote "Happy Birthday" on it. The guests were very impressed with this Etch a Sketch skills.

Austin and the claw machine.

Emily took good care of Buzz Lightyear.

PRESENTS!!!!

Andrew helping Keegan open his cool new Transformer toy.

This was the ONLY good pic of the adults. It was hilarious looking through the pics and seeing that in EVERY pic one person looked completely goofy. I have a great shot of Renee eating pizza and a picture of Uncle Crush holding a recorder in a phalic manner:) Maybe I can make some money off of those pics. So, for this post you only get Shelly, Felicia and I.

Grace and Reese playing with the Transformer. Can you see how red Reeses hair looks???

Kirra

All the kids ready for CAKE!!!!

Talon. No idea what he is doing. Looks like he is trying to avoid the paparazzi:)

Lil Cash!!!!

Keegan and the ladies:)

we love our poisonus nuts!!!!!

Kurt, Lisa and I went to the Fiesta Bowl. We were soooooo lucky to have a childhood friend on the coaching staff and got the best tickets ever!!!!! We were on the 50 yd line 2 rows up!!!! My favorite part of the whole game was seeing my handsome hubby on the field representing the AF as an OSU grad!!!! I am pretty sure everyone in the stands knew who his wife was:) So,,,,we had a blast even though they lost in the end. But true Buckeye fans always love their team!!!!

Thanks for the AWESOME tickets Bubba!!!!!

Enjoy,,,,,,

This is my favorite series of pics. No idea why I wasnt really paying attention to the game like I should have been...but these are priceless. The Bucks had just scored a touchdown in the 4th quarter and taken the lead...at least for a little while:(

My favorite guy on the jumbotron!!!!!!

Kurt and Dutch walking off the field

Our Buckeyes,,,,at least the rear end of them!!!!!

Lisa!!!!!

This pic to me represents the difference b/w Kurt and Lisa's personalities!!!! Mom D...do you agree????

The random guy behind us who was obsessed with Lisas hair...and, well....LISA!!!!!
The Best Damn Band in the Land!!!!!
You know you are close to the field when you can see the chest bump this close!!!!!

Birthday Week....

So in our family birthdays are kinda like Hanukkah....we celebrate all week:)

Aunt Lisa was here to help us kick off Keegans bday week. He had a bday donut with candles and everything. He has gotten a little surprise every day...and Will get his presents on Friday. His party with all his buds is Saturday...so stay tuned for pics that will clearly demonstrate that I have a hard time understanding the word moderation!!!!!

We also had a little family dinner while Aunt Lisa was here...complete with Keegans favorite...chocolate cupcakes!!!! We forgot party hats...so we raided the dress up closet. Kinda funny!!!!!

The BDAY donut!!!!

The stare-down!!!!


:)

Keegans "birthday hat".

Keegan letting everyone know how old he IS. According to our lil man he is already three and is not waiting until Friday:)

Reese's hat..she is ready for the candles!!!!!

Aunt Lisa got Keegan a claw...he LOVES it!!!! He became obsessed with these when Uncle Vince had back surgery and let Keegan borrow his real one to pick up blocks. Can you imagine how slow everything goes when he has to use this thing!!!!!

Reese post-cupcake!!! this child is a walking disaster!!!!!

Keegans art easel from Aunt Lisa...and Reese doing who knows what!!!!!

We forgot the batteries for his new game...so he used it for seating.

His Buzz Lightyear card.

How cute is this!!!!

Blowing out the candles on the cupcake tree:) He has mastered it this year...no help from mom and dad needed anymore!!!!

:)

Killer NUTS!!!

Buckeye fever in our house has started. We went to the Fiesta Bowl parade this morning and seeing the band and Brutus (yes...OSU's mascot is a poisonous nut!!!!) just gets you all fired up. Of course the kids were the most impressed with the giant ballon that was a HUGE milk bottle. I guess it is the little things...

Anyway...I am now ready for Script Ohio and craving a stadium hotdog!!!! And I am pretty sure I have worn scarlett and gray all week!!!! Oh...and look for us on TV...Kurt is supposed to be on the field before the game around the national anthem time representing the Air Force base...and Lisa and I are in AWESOME seats. By awesome I mean 45 yard line, 2 rows up!!!! Pays to know someone on the coaching staff. THANKS BUBBA. Maybe I will give you some of the good baseball cards you traded me (I think your dad used to say you got ripped off by a girl :) )since you hooked us up!!!!


So...here are a few pics...LOTS more to come after the game and a Buckeye victory!!!!!

What is more fun...a parade or Aunt Lisa blowing bubbles??? Keegan votes for Aunt Lisa. Reese on the other hand is a drama queen and cried when she saw Keegan popping the bubbles as if he was hurting them. So...since Reese was upset the game had to end. Can you tell who is the boss in our house????
Lisa with her pretty smile...and Keegan with the dazed look. The parade wore him out. He even said he was tired and wanted to go home and requested that the stroller seat be reclined all the way back so he could sleep:) Reese of course was busy takin it all in and was ready for round 2.

Mommy and her lil Buckeye cheerleader:) She is soooooo cute when she yells "Go Buckeyes". It doesnt matter who is playing football...everyone is the Buckeyes and it sounds like "Go Guckeyes"

Reese was getting heavy so Kurt tried to put her up on his shoulders..
Can you tell how much she enjoyed it. I just love the look on Kurts face!!!!

Keegan enjoyed the view more...but held on for dear life!!!!! He waved to all the people on the floats as they went by:)

The Best Damn Band in the Land!!!!!!
BRUTUS!!!!!! I bet some of you didnt know that a past Brutii just happens to be one of Keegan and Reeses Air Force uncles!!! We know VERY important people!!!!
The Cheerleaders!!!!
Keegs and Aunt Lisa taking in the sights and sounds....
my boys:)
