Keegan's Birthday!!!

Saturday was Keegan's birthday!!  I can't believe he is already 3 years old :( He is so much fun.  Keegan loves Landon and wants to be just like him and do everything he does.  They usually play really well together, and they are really cute to watch (when they are getting along)! He also loves Sesame Street, Super Why, Mickey Mouse, Jake, and Handy Manny.  He likes to color and play with trains.  Keegan loves reading books and playing sports.   He still loves puppies.  He is officially potty trained and since Matt made him a new bed this past weekend, he is getting ready to move from his toddler bed to a big bed!  

We celebrated his birthday with a party.  He had some friends over and Matt's family was also here to help us celebrate!  We had a great time!  He wanted a Sesame Street party, so that is what we did for the third time in the past four years :)  It turned out well and we had a great day!

 Landon played "Happy Birthday" for us on the piano while we sang to Keegan….he did a great job!

Saturday morning when the boys woke up, they opened their Valentine's presents from us.

Valentine's breakfast for the boys….heart shaped pancakes, heart shaped bacon, and heart shaped strawberries with reddish pink milk!!

While Matt was in Germany, my mom came to stay with me and help out.  My dad came later in the week too.  So they didn't have to come back a week later for Keegan's birthday, we celebrated both of the boys birthdays when they were here.  They each picked out Lego's at Toys r Us, I made dirt cake and we had our own celebration a week early!

Thank you to both of our families for coming to visit, celebrate and help out.  We really appreciate it and know the boys do too!  

Basketball

Landon played basketball for the very first time this winter.  Matt was his coach and they started in November and ended in February.  He played every Saturday.  They practiced for a half hour and then played a game for the next half hour.  It was so fun to watch them.  They really improved from the beginning of the season until the end, and he had a good time.  He got more aggressive as the season went on and also started to shoot and score more!  He had 3 baskets in his final game!  Here are some pictures of him that I took throughout the season!  

 This is a team picture from his last game.  One of the other players dad helped Matt all season.  

 They all got medals after their last game. 

 Way to go, Landon!  We are proud of you!

Snow, Snow and more Snow!

We have gotten (and still have) a ton of snow in the past few weeks.  Matt went to Germany the first week of February, and we got dumped on with snow the week he was gone.  My mom came to stay with us (and later my dad) while he was gone and we had a snow day on the first school day that she was here.  

We made snowman pancakes to celebrate our snow day!

 Here was a pic of our backyard during some of the snow...

 That week, we also decided to make snow ice cream.  Here are the boys and grandma measuring out cups of snow.

 We added Valentine's sprinkles to our ice cream and it turned it pink, but here is the final product.

 So yummy

 It turned out to be really tasty and a fun dessert for the night!

 Matt got lots of snow when he was in Germany too….he and some guys from work went skiing his first day there.

 They also had team building one afternoon and went curling!

 When Matt got home, he was excited to take the boys sledding.

We still have a lot of snow and got more this past weekend, so I'm sure I will have more pictures in the snow soon!!!
