Weekend Recap | A Visit from Aunt Kaitlyn

We had a visitor this past weekend... Aunt Kaitlyn! She arrived on Wednesday night and was able to stay through Sunday night! It was so fun having her here for the weekend! I just wish plane tickets weren't so expensive and she could visit more often.

Even though we don't see Kaitlyn very often (the last time was at Christmas!), Harper and Keegan seemed to remember her and warm up to her quickly! I think "seeing" her via FaceTime helps a ton!!

I had to work on Thursday but luckily I get off work at 3:30 each day so we were still able to enjoy the afternoon! Since Keegan's hair was a hot mess, we took him for an official haircut before heading to the nature park! It was definitely time. He cried a little but overall did a pretty good job sitting still! He's such a big boy!

We went to the Fort Worth Zoo on Friday morning... along with 20 school buses full of kids. Remind me to check the field trip schedule next time I go. I'd prefer not to share the zoo with hundreds of five year old hooligans. Needless to say, it was not quite as enjoyable as we were hoping but we still had a good time!

The best family picture we got.... 

 

Once the kids were up from their nap, we changed them into their new Louisville shirts for the big game! Even though Harper and Keegan were the cutest Louisville fans you've ever seen, the Cards still couldn't pull out a win. :(

Saturday consisted of errands in the morning (Sams Club, Target, Old Navy) before nap time and playing at the park and in the backyard in the afternoon! It was a perfect Saturday!

We found a new "hidden" park on Sunday and can't wait to visit it more often! It is the perfect size for Harper and Keegan! The rest of Sunday was low key. A trip to the grocery store and more playing outside! Are you sensing a pattern here? Harper and Keegan love to be outside!

I think this visit with Kaitlyn was probably my favorite one! It's sad to think we won't see her again till June! Thank goodness for FaceTime! What did people do before it?!

Thank you for coming to visit us Kaitlyn! We love and miss you!

Tennis, Anyone?

Craig forgot his jacket for work tonight so after dinner I changed the kids out of their food covered clothes, into their pajamas and loaded them in the car! Nothing says tennis like one piece pajamas and flip flops!

They had so much fun running around on the tennis courts and throwing every ball they could find! Even though we were only able to stay for a few minutes, it was a fun weeknight adventure!

17 months

Harper and Keegan are 17 months old as of last Tuesday! It's hard to believe they will be 1 1/2 next month! It makes me so sad to think how quickly they've grown! They don't have a checkup at the doctor till next month so this post will be short and sweet.

Harper

...loves to dance! She is a dancing machine... but kind of lacks rhythm.

...does not like when Keegan gets put in timeout. She cries and is so sad for him the entire time he is in time out. It's the longest 1 minute of her life... and mine.

...is such a good eater! She will try pretty much everything we give her!

...especially loves blueberries! I can't get them on her tray fast enough!

...wants to eat or drink whatever Craig or I are eating or drinking.

...loves to tickle Keegan and Squeegee. It's the sweetest thing.

...always kisses the iPad when saying bye to Mimi and Gramps or Aunt Kaitlyn after we FaceTime.

...LOVES books! I can't tell you how many times I've read the same book over and over and over!

...is such a Daddy's girl.

Keegan

...loves to throw things! He constantly has a ball or block in his hand to throw! Not sure if he is a righty or lefty though...

....dances anytime there is music but has more reserved "moves" than Harper.

...likes to test his boundaries. He loves to giggle and grin when you tell him "no!" and then do whatever it is again. The terrible two's are going to be terrible.

...has a healthy appetite! One cheeseburger is no problem for him to scarf down by himself... along with a few french fries and fruit.

...likes to give slobbery, open mouth kisses. Squeegee and the iPad are his main targets.

...says 'dog' and 'hot' all the time!

...drinks WAY more milk than Harper! This is when he's not throwing his sippy cup which is 99.9% of the time.

...loves to FaceTime on the iPad!

They both love

...their Pottery Barn chairs. Stand up, sit down, flip them over, do flips over them.

...Peekaboo Sesame Street and Peekaboo Barn.

...to greet Nanny Olivia at the front door.

...feeding Squeegee their leftovers.
