Our Baby Boy Turned ONE!!

Our baby had his first birthday party at Olympic Sound Soccer Club on Friday night! All the kids were able to run around the soccer field and kick balls. Brandon did a good job of waring them all out by chasing them around.

South Carolina

Our little family just got back from a trip to Monks Corner, SC to visit Yaya and Papa. Unfortunately, a hurricane graced us with crappy weather, but we still had a great time. We got to go to the Festival of Lights in Charleston, the South Carolina Aquarium, and take Keegan to the beach for the first time. Like always, the trip was too short and too fast!

Happy Halloween!

Since it was Keegans first Halloween, I thought it would be fun to throw a little party. All of our friends came over and brought their kids. They had Witch Hat calzones, monster mouth apples, and mummy chocolate peanut butter brownies. The played "Pin the bow tie on Dracula," jumped in leaves, and left with goodie bags filled with essentials for a long night of trick or treating! Keegan tried Trick or Treating, but only made it to two houses. He wasn't very interested. We did let him enjoy a sucker though...boy did he love it! We thought it was kind of funny that my Godchild Laila was Dorothy and Keegan was a monkey...Maybe a flying monkey???

ReEnlistment

Today, Brandon was discharged and enlisted back into the Navy for 6 more years. Brandon has decided to make the Navy a career and retire. As of today, Brandon only has 11 years left in the Navy. We still are not sure where we are going, but sometime between now and Jan. 15th, we will be going to either Guam, Hawaii, or Portsmouth. It was kind of cool because Keegan and I each got recognized today and received certificates for the duties we have as dependents of Active Duty military. Enjoy the pictures.

Who needs a stroller?

I wanted to share these pictures of Keegan eating Portabello Ravioli. He absolutely loved them. I havent really found anything my boy doesnt like, except for bread, but this I thought was very fancy. Obviously he needed a bath after that dinner and he and dad like to lounge on the couch to dry off.

I had to post this video because For some reason Keegan thinks its hilarious to scoot himself around while he is in his high chair. He has been doing this for about a month, but I was never brave enough to take the tray off. Once I did, he got around much quicker. Probably because he was able to build up more momentum. What a funny little guy!

Pumpkin Patch and Big Game Farm

I don't know if everyone is familiar with the show on TLC called Little People Big World, but its about a family who raises their 4 kids on a big farm outside of Portland Oregon. I am a huge fan of the show and thought it would be great to take Keegan to their annual pumpkin patch, since we only live a few hours away. I think I convinced Brandon to take us to a pumpkin patch 3 hours away because there is a Sonic close by! Ha Ha, he was keen on the idea once he found that out. We don't have Sonic in Seattle.

A few weeks later we decided to take Keegan to the Olympic game farm in Sequim, WA to see all the wild animals. It is a drive thru petting zoo with exotic animals like rhinos, tigers, lions, bears, elk and buffalo. The truck and Keegan were covered in slobber by the time we left, but he LOVED it. Here are the pictures of our adventures this!

I did it!

So I did it! I started a blog. I thought this would be the best way for family and friends who are not members of Facebook to keep up with Mr. Keegan and all the adventures our family will be going through in the next coming months. Enjoy!
