Goodbye Keili Cat

Keili cat was a gorgeous kitty. Joe bought her from Evergreen Pet in March of 1997 as a kitten. When Joe and I first started dating Joe told me that Keili had to approve of me. She's always been Joe's girl, we will all really miss her. I put together some old pictures of her to look back. Keili on our bed Nov. 2004. A few months after we bought our first house.

We got Keili a buddy.......March 2005.

Baby Gavin is here.....this is one of my favorite pictures ever! Keili hung around Joe all the time.

Gavin at around 9months. June 2006.

Another baby comes home, Garrett!! Sept. 2007 Look behind Joe's head, there's a big fat kitty cat.

This picture was taken just a week ago. She crawled into the boys tent and on Gavin's pillow and slept there for a few hours. We will miss ya Keili, Love you.

Cute Boys

Gavin was helping out mommy this morning cleaning up the house, what a great helper.

Both the boys decided that they wanted to wear their Texas hats that they got from the Greene's after their trip this year. They wore them all day.

My boys are growing up.......way too fast.

Cleaning the Garage

Well it's that time of year again, time to clean out the garage. All the boys helped out so much, I couldn't believe how much Gavin & Garrett helped. I watched Garrett swept up some dirt and leaves in the dust pan and try to put it in the garbage. He kept on dropping it back onto the drive way, so instead of just picking up the leaves and putting them in the garbage. He put them back into the dust pan and tried it all over again, he did this about four times before I went over and gave him a hand. Gavin did some great vacuuming and even had on his work gloves so his hands wouldn't get too dirty.

Garrett was so cute, trying to get everything in the garbage, but just not quit tall enough yet. He's on his little tippy toes.

Garrett trying out the vacuum, lots of fun.

Mommy really getting underneath everything, cleaning it up real good, and doing a few sit ups for the old tummy at the same time.

Black Angus for my Birthday!!!

The boys and I went out for my early birthday dinner. Because my birthday lands on a Monday this year we celebrated over the weekend. We went to one of my favorite restaurants, Black Angus. Had the dinner for two special and got the boys some yummy mac n' cheese. We did a little shopping before we went to eat so the boys were a little wand up. Garrett was pretty sleepy but all in all they did good. We don't take them out to eat very often so it's a little hard for them to remember to use their inside voices. We all had a great time and our bellies were stuffed!!!

Our crazy Gavin always doing something funny for the camera.

Gavin and Mommy waiting for their food.........getting hungry.

Garrett being a little shy, didn't want his picture taken. Look at that face.

So cute!!

My boys are so cute. The other morning they both wanted some Lucky Charms cereal. And I was in the living room and was wondering where they went. They were on the floor in the kitchen hiding and whispering to each other. How cute is that. They have really become best friends. Garrett is always asking me "whered Gavin go"?

Easter at the Keeney's

We had Easter at the Keeney's this year. A very low key Easter, with Pizza and an egg hunt. My brother Travis and wife Ginger and Austin came over, as well as my parents. We enjoyed some yummy pizza and then did a big egg hunt outside for all our boys. Ginger and I did up about 30eggs a piece filled with candy, so the boys had plenty to hunt for. Thanks to everyone who came over, we all had a lot of fun. This was Daddy and Garrett about half hour before everyone arrived. A little cat nap never hurts.

Austin and Gavin putting together his new spiderman puzzle, which is kind of hard. It's two puzzles in one.....3D!

A little goody bag from Austin and Aunt Ginger, thanks guys.

Pizza time with Grandma & Grandpa!!

Garrett is finally up from his nap and ready to open his goody bag from Austin!!

"Bumblebee", which is every yellow car.

Gavin showing Uncle Travis his car right to the video camera. That will be a fun video to watch back.

And Grandma brought a fun basket full of toys and stuff for all the grandkids to pick from. Thanks Grandma!! (Gavin and Garrett have been sleeping with their bunnies every night since.)

Cars!!!

Ginger and I hiding the eggs for the big hunt.

Trying to find good spots to hide the eggs, and keeping some easy for our little Garrett.

And their off!!!!!

I don't know why they always have to go for the same egg at the same time!

Getting a little dirty in the bushes, but they have to get them all.

I see a pink one!

Crazy boys, really getting into it now.

A good picture of most of us. Even Bob, our outside cat, got in on it.

And it's over, show us your eggs boys.

The loot, so much candy so little time.

My handsome boys, Garrett just got another big boy hair cut and looks so grown up. I cut Joe's hair and he cuts the boys hair, works out good and saves us money.

Uncle Travis getting in some wrestling time with all three boys. Poor guy, they are going to break him......you know he's no young chicken anymore.

And what's not the best end to any holiday, dress up superhero time!!

Isn't he the cutest Superman/Batman superhero you have ever seen. :)
