Fun in the Water

Splash Park

and

Papa Bill's Water Slide

On Grandma Lu's day off we all went to the Splash Park. Brant, Katie & Ali were also visiting from Minnesota. We had alot of fun except that whoever built it doesn't think about parents.....WE NEED SHADE! :)

No words needed LOL. Keegan & Jaxon having a great day together.

Ali pants loves the water.

Breckyn wanted to get water dumped on her....but she missed.

Morgan is having a.......shower?

Ryker does NOT like the water, he got in just before we left :)

My Dad and Shuana have a HUGE water slide. We all went over to their house and the kids played for hours. We laughed so hard especially when Morgan would slide down and come completely out. haha

Morgan, Keegan & Jaxon climbing up AGAIN!!!

My Bobcat

My Cub Scout

Last night was Keegan's first Pack Meeting. He has been to scouts 2 times and has had a huge desire to sign stuff off......he even got to "Present the Colors".

This is all the Cub Scouts getting divided into teams. He is always around younger boys and now seeing him stand in a group where 3 are his same age, just shows how tiny he is :( can you pick him out?
The boys had to gather things up to build a "fire". Keegan has had experience in this before :)
Keegan & his friend Lane judging their work


These boys got a Belt Loop for "Compass and Mapping"

Well, he did it. He got his Bobcat. He was so proud and I got a little teary when I got my pin to show of my son's achievements. The paint on his face was cute (he wasn't sure about it) but I didn't like the orange nose to much either :) :)

I am so proud of my tiny Bobcat!

My Boy is 8

Well, on the the 3rd...my little boy turned 8 years old. Sad I know.

Climbing the "mountain" very fitting of his life I'd say

I look back on his short life and see how much he has endured. He has had so many medical problems that continue through today. But he is always strong and most of the time happy.

This is Jude, Keegan, Koltin and Tanner. Keegan's friends from baseball. Since he can't get baptized until June (due to family/work schedules) we took them to Amazing Jakes. They had so much fun and kept us.....ok Troy moving.

The boy's getting ready for Laser tag

Most of them were afraid of this ("heights"), but they went back for seconds

He is a strong, loving young man. He talks ALLOT....but he has a bigger heart than most anyone I know. All the adults he meets talk about his "eagerness". He can make friends faster than anyone I know and is always quick to find the good in someone. Difference in others does not phase him. He truly is an amazing little guy and I am so proud to be his mother.

On his birthday, all of Troy's family came out and Tacen, Keegan & Dad blew out candles for their birthdays. He had a lot of fun playing with all the cousins.

Dad, Tacen, Devyn, Drake, Kylyn, Morgan, Breckyn, Keegan, Jaytin

Keegan you are my sunshine, you bring a light into my eyes different than any other and know that without that light, I would not be who I am today. Stay strong, kind, loving, understanding and tolerant all of your days and you will go far in your life.

"I'm Rich"
I LOVE YOU BOY!!!!!

(don't mind the gold digger he he)

Sunday in the Mountains.....

Breckyn, Tyler, Bannon, Kena, Ashlyn, Keegan, Morgan Love them!

Cooking

Yesterday, we left around 1:00 and went up to Pinal Mountain and met our friends Anissa, Mike, Tyler, Makena, Ashlyn, Kayle, Cara & Bannon, in Globe and headed out. About 30 minutes and we went from Globe (ugh) to PINES.

It was so pretty up there. It reminded me so much of Young i.e. SlideRock, where we used to go with the Taylor family every year camping.

Keegan

Breckyn

The kids had a great time running around and playing ball. They also went EXPLORING and Morgan and Makena went for a walk and recorded it.....that will be fun to watch :)

Kayle & Keegan

The girls & Keegan (falling down the hill)


Bannon too cute

Our food was sooo good. I love doing outdoor cooking....mainly because Troy does all of it and even cleans it up :) :) :) We had steak, fried potatoes, salad and of course Cobbler and S'mores.

My Kids

Morgan is a natural, Keegan so serious & Breckyn HAD to climb the tree :)

It was a beautiful day and it was fun to sit and visit. I got to know Cara a lot better and that was fun... Ok, 1 funny thing that happened to me......there are no flat spots where we were so when I went to sit in my chair, I fell backwards/sideways. I was laughing so hard. Mike and Cara helped me, well I actually had to do a volleyball roll (over my shoulder) to get out, but they were very supportive. LOL

Troy better get a bigger gun!!


All in all it was FABULOUS!!!!

HOME RUN!!

Morgan started playing ball last year and she got 1 hit all year....a dribble to pitcher. She has a beautiful stance, and swing, she is just afraid to do it. She gets on base allot and can run them like a devil. She is soooo fast.
Well we took her to the batting cages to help her with confidence (to the point her hands hurt) and help her to quit swingeing under the ball.
This morning, she told us she was going to hit a "Grand Slam". I said to just go for a hit. Well first swing...miss. second swing over the fielders heads and all they way to the fence...
HOME RUN BABY!!!! She ran so fast and I was waiting for her at home plate and she ran the other way...until I yelled at her :)...THEN I got the hug of a lifetime.

I love her smile!!

This is her Friend Karlee

(her brother Tanner & Keegan have been on the same team for 2 years)

Is she drinking Ketchup??? :)

The only thing she missed about it was that her Dad wasn't there, he was watching Keegan on the other side of the world (ok Queen Creek).

ENDOSCOPY

Keegan w/his free bear "Ben" & excited because he has never worn THIS color of gown :) LOL

Keegan trying to wake up

Awake...kind of

Troy showing Keegan the pictures from his "insides"

Yesterday, Keegan had his 4th Endo. He did really well and even felt well enough to play in his game this morning.

Good Grades

This awards assembly I went to... my kids both got awards as always. This Quarter was a little different.

Keegan made Honor Roll (even with 14 absentees. We were very proud.
Morgan for her first time EVER, due to struggling in math...worked very hard and made High Honor Roll. We are all so excited. She also got the Pride award which is a citizenship award voted by the students.

(Please ignore Kyle in the pic....he is always picking on her & he was at it again)

Easter

They are all dressed up because we have 8:00 church. But aren't they are beautiful.
