Busy little week

Well we have had a busy last week and lots of stuff has happened. It started off with my 28th birthday a week ago yesterday. I got the ultimate birthday present. Alexander, I took you to music class and then we went to eat with Poppie for my birthday. During lunch you became increasingly fussy and started running a fever. By the time I got you to the doctor your fever was 102.2, and you bounced back and forth between crying and sleeping. You ended up having strep throat, bi-lateral ear infections and Fifths disease. They even tested you for RSV because you were so sick. You were a champ while they swabbed your throat, swabbed your nose, pricked your finger and then gave you a shot for your strep throat. Sorry we had to do the shot because we had company coming to stay with us and you couldn't be sick for the first meeting between you and your cousin Urijah Bryce.



You had lots of fun with Bryce, and had to learn what the word "Nice" meant because your were a little rough with him. I think you were just really excited to have someone to play with that was your size. While Bryce was here we took both of you to the outlet mall in Pigeon Forge and while we were there, we let you both see the Easter Bunny. Most kids at 10 1/2 months would be scared, but not you. You waved and giggled every time you looked at him.
Alexander you have been into everything, you are walking while holding onto things and your fly while your crawling. You new favorite thing to do is get into the dishwasher why I am unloading or loading it. You also love to unload all the shoes out of the shoe basket. I go around behind you all day long picking up and putting stuff in your toy basket, just so you can pull it all back out.
You have stared biting lately and I am the main receiver of your bites. You have given me multiple bruises.


We started baseball and softball this past week and Keegan you scrimmaged a team and did pretty well. You were very mad at yourself because you struck out both times that you went up to bat, but that's OK, mommy was proud of you. I was most proud of you because, the train that comes right by the ballpark came through, and you only glanced at the train. Usually you get extremely excited and lose all focus of what you are doing. Again another example of your love for life. All the parents laugh at you for your excitement of the same train that comes through at each ball practice. You start jumping up and down, smiling, yelling to me "MOM LOOK THE TRAIN" (Keegan I can hear the train, you don't have to tell me it coming) Sometimes you completely run away from your spot on the field to wave at the conductor, and he then blows the train whistle which gets you going even more!!!!




Keegan, you told me the other day that you hated your name and want me to change it. I think your name is WAY cool, mainly because we only know one other person who has that name. You told me that Brook (your girlfriend) and you decided it was a lame name. I asked you what you would like to change your name to and you said "ALEX" "See mom, it would be awesome you could have Alexander and ALex for kids" Ummmm NO I don't think so. I don't think that you
realize that Alexander and Alex are the same name. Your such a goof ball.




Kaley, you had a softball tournament last weekend and I was a little nervous for how you would do. You are an amazing athlete however you don't have much desire to play softball since you got hit multiple times with the ball last season. You have a bad habit of jumping out of the batters box as soon as the pitcher releases the ball. GIRL your did great, you had several hit, and slid home on every play, which you were also nervous about. You had a pop fly catch in center field, and were so proud of yourself. You got a little nervous when you left second base before the pitcher had released which caused you an automatic out for your team, and considering it was the Championship game you were upset with yourself, however your team pulled through and you guys won the Gibbs tournament undefeated !!!!!
