Katie's 1st Visit to Grandma & Grandpa's

Katie and Keegan came to visit. It was Katie's first time at Grandma and Grandpa's. She got to check out the place and it seemed like she had always been around. She was just starting to attempt to stand on her own without any help. She would start to stand, attempt a step, but would plop back down. She's a cutie.

I think pink is her color.

"Quit looking at my new teeth and read this book to me!"

"I don't need no booster seat. I'm a big girl."

Going to Discovery Depot

While back in town, we decided to go down to the "Discovery Depot". It is a place wher kids can investigate diffferent things. Trains, Fire Trucks, Ambulances, Grocery Store, Post Office, Farm, Etc. It also has a Climbing Wall and Water Feature. Good Times.

" Hey, I told you I could fit in here. "

This is Keegan and Katie's friend Jaxson.

He lives in Galesburg and they try to meet

up whenever they're back in town.

"What do you mean I'm going to fast?!"

"This is an Ambulance, dummy"

This is Keegan and Katie's other friend Jade .

I bet I climb higher than you.

Young Energy (video)

After a few hours at Discovery Depot, It was time to say good-bye until the next time. Everyone will be a little older and most likely have MORE energy.

Keegan turns 5 years old !!!

While Keegan was back, he was to have his fifth birthday the following week, so we decided to throw him a little party at the local pizza joint "Happy Joe's". It is a kid friendly place with lots of room, a train that goes around the outer wall. (Out of Order) when we were there, and a game room where they can earn coupons to get prizes. Plus we like the pizza too!

Let me at that Spiderman Stuff!!

Hail Mighty Keegan!

(with Great-Grandma Mary)
Not sure whether the sword is called

"The Sword of Good or Bad"?
We keep forgetting to ask Mom and Dad.

Didn't take long for "Let me at It!!"

Growing so fast. Almost to Big.

One of the games Keegan played to earn coupons.

"Look at one of the items I got."
"Neon green vampire teeth!"

Good job Keegan on taking those vampire teeth out.
Accident avoided. Birthday celebration a success!!!

Happy Birthday Buddy!!
