 Keagan did not like Heather touching her cake! 

 "What did Heather do?"

 

    We got to have Kabree and Keagan's birthday parties Sunday.  Heather and Matt were nice enough to let us have the party at their house in their back yard.  Again Jane was so sweet and made the cakes, cupcakes and cute little labels to go on the drinks.  The girls loved their cakes!  Kabree was so excited for her My Little Pony cake she was jumping all over the place saying she loved it!  Zach grilled some hot dogs and everyone brought yummy salads to share.  It was so nice to have family there to help celebrate the girls big day!  The wind was blowing a little too hard for candles so we pretended to blow them out then on to the yummy cake!  Keagan was not sure what to think about her cake but she knew she didn't want anyone else to touch it lol.  She was pretty ticked when Heather broke the head off to show her their was cake inside.  Then it was on to gifts, which they both got very spoiled and got all kinds of fun things.  The sweetest by far was from Hanna to Kabree.  Kabree has borrowed a certain pair of pj's a couple time before and keeps saying how she cannot wait until they are too small for Hanna so she "can keep them forever".  Well Hanna gave those pj's to Kabree along with a flower that she cut from their flower beds : ), needless to say Kabree loved it!

    We feel so blessed to have these two amazing girls in our lives and all the joy they bring us.  We also feel so grateful that we have family close enough to come and share in special days with us.

Keagan's 1st Birthday

Keagan LOVED being sung too

  She wanted to attack the cake!

She wasn't happy we gave her a cupcake instead of the cake

 Keagan wanted to share

 She gave Heather a taste

All that cake made Keagan thristy

    Wow!  Where did time go?  I cannot believe Keagan is already 1 year old.  We love her so much and she has been such a fun little girl that we feel like time flew by this last year.  On Keagan's birthday we had Keagans birthparents Heather and Jesse over for cake and ice cream.  Heather brought Justice, Hanna and JT over too.  Keagan was a wild woman running around everywhere until we started singing "Happy Birthday" then she got all excited hopping up and down and smiling.  She didn't know what to think about the candle but she knew she wanted to grab the girl on top of the cake ; ).  Keagan was pretty excited to eat her cupcake and even wanted to share.
    We are so grateful that Heather and Jesse were able to come and celebrate our baby girls big 1st birthday!  We are so grateful to them and the sacrifices they made that brought us such joy.  We love Keagan so much and the sweet spirit she brings to our home.
    I do have to add that this last week was a pretty stressful and hard one, my Grandma got very sick and passed away, I then got asked to write her life sketch.  I was of coarse sad but also stressed about getting everything done.  Well Grandma Jane to the rescue, when she heard my Grandma passed away she called up and told me she would take care of the cakes for the girls Birthday parties.  What a load off my mind and shoulders it was.  Not only did she make an adorable cake but cupcakes; with laminated cabbage patch dolls in them, and juices with little cabbage patch labels.  Plus she made sure there was a water bottle with a label for Kabree because of her allergies and she made sure that the cabbage patch dolls were Hispanic ones : ).  I feel so luck to have someone as thoughtful and helpful as her in my life.

Keagan's 12 Months

  

    We cannot believe it has been a year already since this beautiful brown eyed, brown haired beauty came into our lives.  You can't help but smile when you see those cute little dimples of hers or hear her little laugh.  We love Keagan so much and our lives are so much better and brighter with her in it.  Keagan doesn't walk she RUNS everywhere, she is a curious, busy little girl and loves to be in the center of everything.  Keagan LOVES her Daddy and is hands down a Daddy's girl!  Keagan loves her binki and her blanket and her little yellow rubber man ; ).  Keagan LOVES to eat all kinds of food especially if it's on her Daddy or Mommy's plate.  Her favorite food is strawberries or white bread.  Keagan is an early to bed early to rise girl and is happiest right after she eats her breakfast.  Keagan LOVES to sing, at church, if Kabree or Mommy are or even just the radio she will start singing along too.  She is still our little growler when she is eating and wants more.  She likes cell phones and cameras and will be your best friend if you will let her see yours.  Keagan's nick names are still KeeKee and Keagers or lately "SISTER" if she is doing something a bit naughty ; ).
    We are so blessed to have Keagan in our lives, she has so much personality and always shows her emotions right on her cute little face.  We love you Keagan and Happy Birthday!!!

 Kabree was pretty excited about the fun toys she found

    After church we headed over to Grandpa Gary's and Grandma Sally's for a yummy Easter dinner and another Easter egg hunt.  The girls were pretty excited to have another Easter egg hunt and they were even more excited to find that the Easter Bunny left some fun toys at this one.  We were very spoiled as always by Grandpa Gary and Grandma Sally.  We feel so blessed that we were able to spend time with both families this Easter and that we have our two beautiful girls that make life so much more fun!

    The Easter Bunny found us!  The girls were pretty excited to to find all the eggs and the fun gifts the Easter Bunny left us.  They were even more excited when they realized that the eggs were filled with fruit loops!  Yes the Easter Bunny must have known just how much we love us some sugar cereal : ).  After we were done finding everything the Bunny left us Zach's parents went to church with us to watch Kabree sing with the primary for the first time.  She has been pretty excited the last two weeks about singing in church so to have Grandpa and Grandma come it was even better.  It was a fun morning and Keagan was so fun to watch get excited over everything.
