Our Kitty Keegan!

Our kitty Keegan has been with us since November. He is a good kitty, most of the time. Since Keegan is still a kitten, he has a lot of energy and LOVES to run around and play.

But just like any other cat, Keegan does quite a bit of laying around too.

Here are some shots of Keegan having a very lazy Sunday!

And here is what we deal with everytime Riley decides she wants to "play" (aka - torture) Keegan...scratches to the face!

Despite him being a VERY naughty kitty, we still love him and are glad he is a member of this family!

Winter Backyard Fun!!

Believe it or not winter isn't so bad when (a) we have a VERY mild winter and (b) we have our own backyard to play in. Playing in the snow was something we always did with Riley, but it is so much better now when we can go into our own backyard and run around like crazy people!!

We've been pretty lucky in that the last few times it snowed, it snowed on a weekend. This means we don't have to drive in it and we can go outside at any point during the day. Yesterday we had a few inches of snow it is was the first time it was packing snow and we could make snowballs and a snowman. It was a fun afternoon!

Riley and her snowman. The hat is hers the scarf is mine, the eyes are Reese's Peanut Butter hearts, the nose is 1/2 a pretzel rod and the mouth is a twig.

Using the snowball maker to make the perfect snowball (to throw at daddy)!!

Catching snowflakes on her tongue after finishing making a snow angel!

Helping daddy shovel the driveway. Guess there is no need for me to do it anymore!!

3 1/2 - how time sure does fly!

I seriously cannot believe that my little baby is 3 1/2! She is growing up so much!! Tonight at dinner I asked Riley some questions so that I can remember what a little lady she is these days. Here is how our chat went:

How old are you today? 3 1/2

What class are you in at school? PRE-SCHOOL (She was very excited about this answer)

What do you like to learn best at school? I like to learn how to make a small "e"

Who is your best friend? Mari

What is the best thing about being 3 1/2? Trying to be 4

What can you do at 3 1/2 that you couldn't do at 3? I have to tell the truth (After answering she confessed that she has been lying about the crayons jumping onto the wall and writing on them. Apparently, she was doing it the whole time! Hahaha - no kidding kid!)

Do you think you can still act like a baby at 3 1/2? NO!

What do you have to act like? A big kid (DUH!)

What kind of birthday party do you want to have for your 4th birthday? A Valentine's Day Party (clearly she may have been swayed by our most recent holiday).


Of course we had a small cake for her half birthday and Jeremy bought her One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish!! Only 6 more months until 4....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
