Just keeping things updated

Last week was a busy one for us. Jason continued to get the computer labs ready on campus, new students arrived Friday and classes began yesterday! We were also able to visit with some great friends, the Fry's! They came thru H-town on their way out to CO. It was a great time of food, fellowship and friends. :) Keira continues to be everywhere and into everything. It's hard to believe that she's coming up on the big #2! It's been great seeing family and having them see just how precious and smart she is! Our next adventure leads us to NY for Labor Day weekend!

Keira continues to be her cheesy self :)

Family Weekend

Last weekend Jason and I traveled up to MI/OH for a much needed break from the 'madness' of work. Jason, not me. Keira got to spend lots of time with cousin Annika. They did SO great together! Had so much fun :) It was hard to come home. Here are some pix from the weekend.

Let's hold hands!

Two strawberry's in a swing :)

Uncle Nate had to try it out too!

Annika on the double swing.

Keira on the double...they did great :) Looks like we need to get a swing set of our own!!

Zoombezi 2009

This was the second year we were able to go to Zoombezi Bay! I wondered how Keira would do with the water park again - as you can see - it took her a little bit to get used to it. At first she wouldn't let go of my hands, didn't want to be left alone. But by the end of it she was laying on her belly, blowing bubbles, and having a grand old time!

Not sure about this whole water thing, Mom.

Ooohh bubbles! She actually ends up sucking in the water instead of blowing air out.

What are you doin' over there?

And of course..."cheese!"

Silly Faces

Keira and I just traveled to Columbus last weekend and had a good time w/ Nanna and Chell. Pictures from Zoombezi Bay '09 yet to come. Here are some funny faces from Keira. She's got quite the personality :)

Grandma glasses that we used to play with growing up.

Peek-a-boo I see you! She put these on her head all by herself. Even kept them on for the picture.

21 Months

Our little girl continues to grow everyday. Hard to believe that just Saturday she turned 21 months!! Here is what she has been up to...
- She can say the Alphabet (include t,u, & v!)
- She can sing Twinkle, Twinkle; Row Your Boat, The Itsy Bitsy, Elmo's World, and many more
- Her favorite new saying is "What you doing?" Every couple minutes it's "Mommy what you doing?" And if you ask her what she's doing, she's usually doing the same thing you are. Driving, dishes, singing, dancing.
- Keira will repeat anything and everything. Last night I was saying 'whatever' to Jason about something sarcastic he had said. The next thing we know she's walking around the kitchen saying "what-ever, WHAT-ever, what - EVER!" I just had to laugh.
- She knows most of her colors, even brown. But LE-LLOW is her favorite.
- She can count to 11 but the consistency isn't always there
- She has 14 teeth. The top canines just popped thru
- She enjoys the water and just went under for the first time yesterday. I think it took her by surprise, but she didn't cry!
- She loves to watch "Aliens" (a.k.a. Stargate) with Daddy
- She loves to color, listen to the Mamma Mia (Me Ma) soundtrack. She even knows some the words to the first three tracks! lol!, Read, play outside w/ bubbles, chalk and her toys.
Really Keira is just a LOT of fun to be around and always has lots of energy. Below are some videos to catch up on. I thought they were going to upload in the opposite order, but that didn't happen. So you can either watch them in reverse order or simply enjoy! Love you all!
