The Eyes of Keegan

Squinty eyes

Mean Eyes

BIG Eyes

Shify Eyes

This is what happens when I try to get pics of the little man. Such a stinker, but so cute at the same time.

We spent last weekend up in Utah for a quick trip to register the car and do some visiting. On the ride up Keegan did really well, he did start to loose his marbles toward the end but thankfully we were in the Salt Lake Valley so we didn't have listen to it for too long. He wasn't being whiney or naughty just full of energy and ready to get out.

On the ride up we stopped in Green River and had dinner. We ended up at BK and Keegs got a crown. He really didn't know if he wanted to wear it but here he is Keegan King of the burgers that he won't eat.

He wouldn't smile, just silly faces.

Jumping on the trampoline at "Pa's" house. It really wan't that warm out but I guess the red cheeks are something he inherited from his mom.

Like I said it was a SHORT trip home, so this next pic is my very favorite of the trip..... Keegan asleep in the car on the ride home. He hadn't been sleeping well over the weekend so he ended up sleeping a lot in the car. Fine by me.

Today as Josh was driving home from work, he heard on the radio that it was free to get into the Museum of Natural History. So Keegan and I set out for some historic entertainment. And boy was he entertained. Dinosaurs EVERYWHERE.

Keegan and the T-REX, his favorite. Pardon the 80's turned up collar, I was trying to keep the sun off of his neck on the walk from where we parked the car.

They had a couple of big metal dinos outside.

A huge Sizemosaurous inside. It was found right here in NM, just outside of ABQ.

The museum was a lot of fun. They had a volcano ( or balltato, if you are Keegan) that had walls and flooring that looked like running lava. He was actually kinda creeped out by that one but once he realized it wasn't real he wanted to stay in there.

There was a lot to see, it was really kind of fun, I hope we can go back again and see it all with Josh. We left him home to take a nap.

Yay!! As Keegan went to bed tonight he told me that in just "2 more sleeps and 1 nap and then we will go to Utah."

Can't wait to see this view from my sisters house.

See you all soon.

Our 4th Of July

So normally our 4th of July consists of a BBQ at Josh's grandparents, with YUMMY food and a visit with all of the cousins. But not this year, we stayed in Albuquerque and tried to have fun anyway. I do have to say that the burgers just were not the same.

This is Keegs early in the day, getting ready to go to see fireworks.

We headed to Balloon Fiesta Park for the show. The boys are patiently waiting.

After arriving in 90 degree heat, the clouds and the rain came and we had to add layers to stay warm.

Just a pic of the clouds and rain.

A quick moving storm came through early on, cooling everything down nicely.

Mr. no smile

Our friends Val and Jenny. They are the travelers who worked with Josh at St. Marks and talked him into traveling. Thanks Guys.

And Finally, the show started!! It was AMAZING

We had a blast, the show was one of the best I have ever seen. The weather was great. Keegan loved it. So just one more thing we like about ABQ!!

Keegan Funnies

"Mom, do you know how I see things? There are little guys in my head taking pictures of what I'm looking at and then they send them to my brain"

Early this morning Keegan came running out of his room with a shoe in his had and yelled "MOM there's a bug in my pants!!" I asked "there's a bug in your pants?" He responded, "not these pants, the ones on my floor, I saw it, and thought it was a running arrow, but it's a bug"

Uncle Jon works at the Costco that George Bush was doing a book signing at. Keegan was talking to Jon on the phone and I told Keegan to ask Jon if he saw President Bush. Keegan quickly ask "Jon, did you see a president in a bush?"

He's been saying this for a while now but it still makes me laugh. If you say to him "You don't say" he ALWAYS responds with "OH, I'll say alright!"

Today Keegan told me "Watch out mommy, I'm coming in hot" he then jumped from the coffee table to the couch. When I asked him if he even knew what that meant and he told me "it means I'm going really fast and it will be hard to stop"

When I was unsure of the pool temp he didn't hesitate and jumped in. When he saw that I was still standing on the side he said "jump in mommy, it's refreshing"

Keegan and his best bud had a bit of a disagreement and Keegs ended up with a 1 inch gash in his head. (He's fine) But when I asked him if he was mad at Evan he replied "No, but he sure was mad at me!"

Not a "funny" but just a note, while we were in Mexico Keegan learned to say his "K" and "C's". So he no longer calls himself "Teenan" and Koda is no longer "Toda" It was such a shock to hear him ask us how was "MexiCO" not "MexiTo"

I have resorted to washing Keegans mouth out with a tiny bit of soap when he argues. Afterwards I was talking to him explaining that arguing isn't good and that the soap tastes yucky right?? He looked at me and said "Well, it doesn't taste GOOD"!!

The other day Keegan fell out of my mom's really tall truck. When he was asked if he got hurt on the truck he said, "No, it was the ground that hurt me"!

**Warning, not really funny, but still so funny at the time, maybe shocking is the right word**

Keegan dropped the "F" bomb today, totally random and so unlike him that I didn't believe he actually said what I thought he did. I actually made him say it again to see if heard him right. So despite me and Josh laughing we had to tell him it wasn't funny and that if he ever said it again he would go to time out for a long long time.

He got a watch for Christmas, if you ask him what time it is he often says "here, you look at it" It is a digital watch and will read the #'s individually if there is a 3 anywhere in the time he thinks they are E's So the other day it was 4 "E"7

Josh was helping him put on the ONLY pair of pants that actually fit and don't fall down. Keegan doesn't unsnap the snap and was struggling to get them over his keester so he said "my butt is too big" If you have actually seen Keegan you know that is NOT the case.

He often asks me how fast different animals can run, he usually wants me to tell him if it is faster or slower than Koda.

I told Keegan his drawers were falling down, he turned to me and said "What???? my drawers???" he then immediately ran upstairs and pushed in his dresser drawers.

Keegan asked if Grandpa Dan was up in heaven? I told him yes. He asked if he was up in the stars and clouds? I said yes. He then asked, when he is done in his rocket can he come back down?

Keegan got to meet Elmo at Sea World, he ran up and gave him a huge hug. Afterward he told me that "I gave Elmo a hug and didn't even poke him in the eye"

When his finger nails get to long he tells me he has "girl nails"

While on vacation, he asked if we were going to the beach that day, I told him "No we are going to Sea World today" he started to cry and then told me he didn't wan't to go to Sea World that he wanted to go to Wal-Mart.

While out one day a little girl called to her mommy and Keegan turned to me and said "Mommy she said your name"

I had asked Keegan for another kiss this morning and he replied "Nope, only one kiss today."

"Mom, there is something in my flip-flop!!" I ask, what is it? Get it out. He replies "my foot"

"Pa" is going pee, but he doesn't need my step stool betause he is very tall."
