Watch Out Tiger and Phil..Here Comes Keaton!

On Good Friday, Grampy and Joey went to the golf course and later Keaton and I joined them for the last few holes and the last bit of daylight!

I know Keaton is wanting to say, "So which club do I use to hit this ball?"

I love this pictures!  I am pretty sure in a photo album somewhere is a similiar picture with Gurr, Dad, and Zach.

As you can tell Keaton had a great time at the golf course! The first of many golfing outings!

Park Time

Over Spring Break we enjoyed some time playing at the park in Abilene.

Look who I found at the park - It's Jaxon!

 The next day Jaden and Jaxon took Keaton to their favorite park in Abilene - Fort Imagination.

Keaton's hiding out with the big boys!

Keaton loves to play at the park and loves to play with his cousins Jaden and Jaxon!

60th Surprise

The first weekend in March we joined Mom and Zach in surprising Dad for his 60th birthday, and we pulled off a good surprise! Zach flew into DFW and we picked him up and headed to the Bass Pro Shop Embassy Suites. Mom left their hotel door cracked open and the four of us walked in the room.

The view from 3 of our seats - Mom, Keaton, and I sat up here the whole game.  Zach and Joey split the game up here with us and...

with Dad in the other two tickets we had court side.

Watching the "ball" as Keaton loves to say!

We had a fun weekend and a great time celebrating Dad's 60th birthday!

It's Been Along Time...

It's been along time since I have blogged, and we no longer have a 12 month old, but an 18 month old! Not only have I not blogged over the last six months, but I also don't have many pictures on the camera from the last six months (although there are a ton on my phone!).  So, here's a quick post of our little man doing two of his favorite things - playing at the park and cooking!

Happy Birthday Keaton!

Good morning birthday boy!

 On his first birthday, Keaton went to Janamaw's to play with his friends for a little while.  Then after lunch Daddy picked him up. They went home and watched the Rangers win the ALDS, took a nap, and played with Keaton's new toys. When Mommy got home, Mommy, Daddy, and Keaton played, had dinner and then went outside for Keaton's 1 Year Old Photo Shoot. (Yes, we do those a lot!)

 Just a few "now and then" pictures to compare.

This is the best bear picture we got. Keaton wasn't very excited about sharing his seat in the wagon with the bear.

1 Month Old

 After taking pictures, Mommy and Daddy took Keaton for a ride in his wagon.  This is one of Keaton's favorite things to do so of course we had to do it on his birthday!  He waved at the cars and people outside and talked the whole trip!

 After a nice wagon ride, we went inside and opened a few more presents then had a cupcake.

 Keaton had a better idea of what to do with the cake this time!

Even managed to get it on his toes!

At one year, Keaton:

• weighs 23 pounds and is 31 and half inches long
• is a speedy little crawler.
• stands up by himself.
• walks along the furniture or toys.
• prefers real solid food over baby food. (We are using up what Mommy has already bought and making the transition!)
• still naps twice a day for anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half.
• loves to points at things he sees.
• loves to ride in his wagon.
• loves to go outside.
• talks and jabbers.
• says "ba" for ball. Book and bath also sound very similar but Mommy and Daddy can tell the difference.
• says "bye" occasionally and waves.
• is learning how to blow kisses.
• loves to read books!
• occasionally says "dada" and only says "mama" when he is upset.
• is a very happy baby!

In A Year's Time - Keaton's First Birthday

October 4, 2010

October 4, 2011

It is truly amazing how much a child grows and develops in a year.  As a teacher, especially a PreK teacher, I am amazed the way my students grow, develop and how much they learn in a year.  I am even more amazed after the blessings I have experienced in the past year.  Keaton is such a blessing to my life! I am amazed at how much he has grown, developed, and learned in a year's time.  Happy Birthday to my sweet little boy! Mommy loves you!

First Birthday Party

Saturday, October 1st, we celebrated Keaton's first birthday!  Lots of pictures to follow!

Before the Party Photo Shoot:

Love this! It is like he is saying, "what is going on here today?" I think that is what he was thinking all day!
