Camping At Spruces

We decided kind of last minute one day that we wanted to go camping. So we packed up our stuff and headed up to Spruces campground. After searching for the perfect spot we found one that would do. After all we were only staying one night.

We invited our friends Jerrid and Brie to come up and roast hot dogs and then smores. No pics of the eating but I did manage to snap a pic of these two cuties. Keegan and Audrey loved playing in the tent. They were certain that they had to go and get warm.

While we were sitting around the fire Brie looked up and saw this guy. He walked right through our campsite and down to the stream that we were by.

Well, we got up the next morning and packed everything up and headed back down to the valley. We had initally planned on staying 2 nights but the people at spruces seem to think that $20 a night is a fair price. We however, do not! Next time we will head up the canyon a little further and stay at Redmond campground where the toilets may not flush but the prices are much better.

A Little Bit of This.....A Little Bit of That

No news so far on where we are headed but, we have kept busy.

We spend a lot of time over at "Pa's" house. Keegan loves all the puzzles they have.

We have been lucky that we are able to spend a lot of fun time with friends. This is Keegan at Liberty Park on one of the little rides.

Here is Audrey.

We have been fishing on the Provo river. I have a picture of Keegan sitting on this exact log every year for the past 3years.

Daddy let Keegan reel in his fish. And boy was it a "Whopper" according to Keegan

Here we are at the playground by Audreys house. I'm so glad those 2 play together so well.

We have had some really nice weather, we decided to take advantage of it by going to Tanner Park. It's an off leash park at the mouth of Parley's canyon. Koda loves it.

Keegan thought we were hiking, he managed to hike the whole way without complaining.

This is Keegan's new favorite thing to do. He loves the Razor scooter. Which makes me soooo glad that just 6 months ago for Christmas I bought him a 3 wheeled scooter because I just didn't think he could handle a Razor scooter.

We have spent some time over at Josh's grandparents. Or Grandma and Grandpa Cowball to Keegan. (they have a Texas Longhorns football) Here are all 3 of the Viehweg Great Grandchildren.

Keegan, Austin, and Jason

While we have spent A LOT of time over at the Viehweg's, it hasn't always been peaceful. They are remodeling the kitchen and some days it got EXTREMELY LOUD!!! This was the day(s) they took out the old tile floor. The tile floor that DID NOT want to come up.

It got so loud we had to put on ear protection. It just wasn't fun playing Wii while it sounded like the house was being torn apart.

There was even work that Keegan could do. He was a great wallpaper peeler. He worked at it for over an hour.

After all the demo and wallpaper removal. Jon, Josh, Paul and I have been painting, painting, painting and then doing the tile on the floor. It has actually been fun. So here is what we have been working on. After 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of paint it is finally done.

Then on to the tile. This pattern looks really neat once it was finished but it took me following a "map" and the boys placing tile where I told them to get it done. There may have been a bit of confusion and prying up of tile at one point cause I got lost in my "map". In the end it turned out alright, at least I think.

So that is what we have been up to. Hopefully next time I have some more exciting news to post.

*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."
