Keegen's 2nd Birthday

Keegen's birthday was April 22nd. Really?! Keegen is already 3? My my how time does fly...

Here comes the Birthday Boy!!

One of our new favorite books

We floated a couple balloons in his room the night before and hung streamers in front of his bedroom door. And we had the traditional yellow cake with chocolate frosting cupcakes with/for breakfast. I'll stick with that combination until one of them decides to have a different opinion! He opened his presents in the morning, too.

For his "party," the family met at Itz for lunch. Itz is sort of like Chuck E. Cheese. A pizza/pasta/salad/hot dog buffet. Rooms to eat in ranging from a sports room, a cartoon room, a drive-in. We chose the drive-in and watched Happy Feet in the dark while we ate. Then we went to the game room and played until we were out of credits. His favorite game? Not sure, really. We all enjoyed the duckpin bowling. Bode and I bonded over skeeball. The boys liked the racing games. We had another cupcake after games and for a party favor, B and K each got a Bakugan and were very excited since our 10-year old neighbor just introduced them to them just the day before and they think they're super-cool.


At three, Keegen, you're a hoot. Loud and fun and silly. Non-stop talker. And still a little lover when you want to be (lots of hugs and NO! ON YOUR MOUTH! kisses). You've realized you have an opinion about things and don't necessarily go with the flow on everything, but for the most part, you're still easy-going. You have no interest in riding your trike, but you're riding a two-wheel scooter surprisingly well. You play well with Bode and try your darndest to keep up with him and his friends. You're not a great eater, but will eat an entire flat of berries in one sitting if i'd let you. You are a very social kid and go up to complete strangers everywhere and strike up conversations without the least bit of hesitation. You are excited about your baby sister and talk about her while patting my belly. I'm so glad you're ours!
