so, so wrong...

Not going to lie...Keatin is obsessed with cell phones.

Keatin has 4 cell phones of her own at our house (old ones that yes...we actually take turns charging so they still light up and appear to be "real"). 4 phones!!!!!!!

Anyways, this was tonight...found her playing with 3 cell phones at once.



She knows this one takes pictures...note - she has 2 other "spares" in her right hand. :)

Owen, Ben, and Keatin

Today we headed to DM for a few hours to see some good friends from Creighton (Mike and Katie Walsh) and their 2 boys (Owen and 2 week old Ben). They were traveling from Chicago to KC...Katie's sister is getting married this weekend...2 weeks after Katie just had a baby....hmm, sounds kind of familiar. :)

Anyways, it was GREAT to see them...even if it was only for an hour! We ate together and then let Owen and Keatin run around at the play area at Jordan Creek (which Keatin surprisingly loved and was off with all the "big kids"). Of course we tried to take the "kid" picture (see below)...please ignore the "big kid" who had to hold her daughter on the bench. :) Josh and I both got a couple chances to hold Ben...who is all of 6 pounds. We both commented how quickly you forget how small newborns are!

ballerina????

Another new Christmas gift from mommy and daddy...

We may have a future ballerina on our hands...mommy wouldn't care. :)

Cozy Coupe

We got back to Ames from SL on Sunday afternoon...and we opened presents as a family on Sunday night. We got Keatin a pink and purple cozy coupe for Christmas...did you know that is what these Fred Flinstone cars are called??? I learn something new all the time!

let's go shopping!

A glimpse at Keatin's christmas present from Jen/Joey...although we never got to see them...the gift was already at my mom and dad's house...and it was a hit!

Christmas morning...

Here are the videos from Christmas morning...playing with Grandpa's dancing Chicago Bear Santa...and sharing the lipstick from her new pretty pink purse. :)
