Kegan the cutie

Sunday night we went to Fudruckers with Uncle Paran and Kegan got to enjoy a very messy chocolate chip cookie.

Ummmmmmm....Yummy!

I think a chocolate goatee is a good look for me.....no?

One of Kegan's teachers, Tracy, is known for her ability to get the girls at daycare to sit still and have their hair done. Kegan sported a side ponytail last week and this is her first set of pigtails.

You want some water?

These pictures were also taken in the car as we waited outside for Daddy to come home since he locked us out of the house today.

Awwww! Everybody knows I still use a pacifier, Mom. So why'd you take it away for the picture?

Ahhhh, distracted by the random receipt in Mommy's car.

Since our latest blog.....

It has been a while since my last blog entry, but we have been a little busy and preoccupied. We are trying to buy a new house, which led to us needing to sell our house and so on and so on. We weren't really looking, but while I was doing some last minute Christmas shopping, I happened to pass by a house we had dreamed of owning one day. It was for sale and we decided to "just check it out". It has turned out to be a super deal that we are really happy with. The house is a little larger than we need right now, but the property is an absolute dream. It is 2.6 acres in the city limits (only a mile from our current house). We really like where we live since our commutes are really easy into work. We will still be 6 miles from Six Flags, the Rangers' stadium and the new Cowboys' stadium. Kegan can even have a horse one day. We just had the house inspected today, so here are some pictures we took while we were there.

Kegan and her Daddy enjoying the swing (already there, how convenient)

Part of the backyard from the back porch, note the two sheds, playhouse, and swing. All ready to go

The other half of the backyard


The side yard full of mesquite trees

Half of the front yard, you can see the stone entrance with iron gate. there is an iron fence along the entire front of the property

inside of the red shed, junky, but has great potential (in Madison's eyes, it's just a shed to me?)

This is one of the bedrooms, pink? That may have to change. We'll see

The view from one of the guest bedrooms. All the windows have these great wooden plantation shutters

The two halves of the "jack and jill" bathroom that connects the kid's rooms

Kegan's new cast

It's HOT PINK!!! Today Kegan went to get her new cast. Of course it was right at her nap time and she was an absolute beast. She flailed the entire time they were putting her hot pink cast on. You would think she would be excited to have that colorful new toy attached to her arm. It's much harder than the other one. She went straight to bed for a nap when we got home. I woke her up after only an hour because I wanted her to sleep tonight, so I couldn't really get any good pictures becuase she was doing so much crying and carrying-on.

unfun bathtime with a cast

Since we are weaning Kegan from her pacifier, she has resorted to using her babydoll bottles

Happy bedhead Wednesday morning (just thought it was cute so had to throw it in)

We had a great family weekend together. Saturday the temperature was in the 80's so we took advantage and went for a run on the Trinity Trails. Kegan worked so hard riding in her jogger that she insisted on drinking half of my Gatorade. She spit up purple for the next hour. I think she may have overdone it.

Glug-glug-glug-glug!

Sunday morning Kegan learned a new trick. She can get food into her mouth using a spoon. She has been playing with it at mealtimes for a while now, and was starting to put it in her mouth, so we loaded it with food, and she can do it. Not too good at scooping it herself, but it's a start. After that we went back to the Trinity to run but this time the temperature was in the 30's. Big difference a day can make.

The self feeding was going great until "Elliot Moose" came on TV. Then she was just distracted

Kegan New Year's Day watching the view from Paran Aaron's balcony. It was so breezy. Kegan loved it.

This was Kegan taking her Daddy for a walk at a rest stop on our way home from Christmas vacation. I think it is such a sweet picture. One of my favorites.

This video is from a while back. Kegan started straining and turning bright red, just becuase we laughed I suppose. It was so funny. You can't really tell the impressiveness of the color she turns. It was funny to us. Guess you had to be there.
