Dancing

I was making dinner last night and had the radio on. Keagan came in and wanted to dance with me, so I danced for a few minutes with her and then asked Easton to come dance with her so I could finish dinner. They were giggling so much, it was so cute.

While they were dancing and giggling Easton said, "Mom, Keagan is falling in love."

I asked him with who....he said, "With me."

And yes, I think she was falling in love.

They were being extra affectionate last night.

These moments don't happen very often--but I guess that is why I appreciate them even more.

Family

Parker's sister, Carrie, and her family had a layover in SL a couple of weeks ago, so we decided we needed to have a barbque. I haven't seen Carrie and her family since Easton was a baby and they had never met Keagie--they live too far away--so it was so good to get together. We miss them being so far away and are begging them to move closer.

For some reason I didn't any other pictures.

I never learn....

toddler + pudding = BIG mess

at least I took her clothes off before....

if I had a million dollars....

this would so, so, so be in my possession.

ah, to dream....

the zoo

We went to the zoo yesterday--on the train, waving at Mommy

on the train, not quite sure if she liked it

Daddy and Easton on the big elephant

Daddy and Keagan watching the monkeys--the monkeys were some of the only animals that Keagan was not afraid of.

Mommy and Keagan by the zebras--she liked these too.

Did not like the giraffes--one of the quietest animals at the zoo, but Easton loved them.

I think he would have tried to climb over and ride them if he could have.

cuddling with Daddy at the giraffe house.

the carousel is new since I went to the zoo last, so it was fun to go on. Easton loved it.

Keagan--not so much.

She did like it after a minute or two of riding, but not enough to smile for the camera.

We got to see the elephant perform a bit and that was my favorite part. Christie the elephant was quite a show off.

at the gorilla house

Keagan really disliked this elephant--it makes noise, which of course, scared her.

Easton--again, loved it.

hmmmm.....

Easton just came up to me and said, "You know my dog just died?"

Hmmmm---didn't know we had a dog.

Holiday Fun

Balloons a couple of days before the 4th.

Waking up very early--you must have doughnuts.

Keagan was scared of the fans that blew the balloons up.

The 4th

Daddy was able to come for dinner, then had to leave, then came back for the tail end of fireworks.--so no pictures of him. :(

Keagan was afraid of the fireworks. I knew she wouldn't like the noisy ones, but I thought she would like the little ones--but, no. She wouldn't even let me move my hand from her ear and she had her head on my chest the whole time.

This is what you do when the firework smoke comes your way.

Midnight Rendezvous

the other night Keagan woke up at 12:30 and decided she wanted to hang with Mom while everyone else was asleep.

Did you know...

a little sister's headband can also be used as a pirate eye patch.

Easton's gymnastics class

So I signed Easton up for a summer camp gymnastics class. This was his second class. He is not too great at listening to the teacher, but by judging the size of the other kids, I think he is one of the youngest. And he did much better tonight than he did last week--so hopefully he will improve on listening each week.

'When is it my turn?'
'Oh, right now!'

'Ta-da!'

{now smile for Mom}

Someone found Daddy's glasses....

This is what happens...

when you wake up way too early.

You crash about an hour and a half later on mom and dad's bed.

Remember that for next time, Keagie.
