He's 6!!

Keaton's 6!  How did that happen?  He's starting to ask questions that I don't know the answers to.  He's getting closer and closer to being as tall as me.  I can probably fit into some of his shirts.  Every year I tell this to Keaton, it's my biggest memory of the day he was born.  I remember laying in bed in the hospital holding Keaton and watching the snow fall under the street light.  It was quiet, peaceful and pretty.  And it doesn't snow that often in Seattle so it was extra special.  I remember thinking "this is the calm before the storm."  And it sure was.  Since the night he was born it hasn't always been peaceful, quiet or pretty.  But it's been a great journey!  He's a sweet boy (guy now). Happy, friendly and caring for others.  I'm so proud of him during these past 6 years.

We went tubing at Snoqualmie Pass on his birthday.  He was a daredevil and went down these super fast hills.  I took Nolan on my lap and we were both super scared.  Keaton wanted to go down lane #5 each time because he was told it was the fastest.

We had a Gigantic sundae!

And cake of course.  Keaton has a huge sweet tooth!

We had a huge birthday party for him a few days later and invited everyone in his class, even his teacher (who came).  It was a ninja course at a gymnastics center and was tons of fun!


 I wouldn't let him have a plants vs. zombies cake (video game he is obsessed with) because I didn't know how appropriate a bunch of zombies were for kindergartner's so I told him he could only put the plants on the cake (no zombies) and we also added ninja's.

Keaton must have the coolest teacher ever because she got him Plants vs. Zombie stuff!

Does this kid ever smile?

It is tough to get Nolan to smile for pictures.  Especially lately since he's been grumpy so much!

He's at his school Valentine's party at the cookie decorating table but no smile.


It's not the snow that he's blocking his face from, it's me.

Hiding from the camera again.
 

Look how happy his brother is! And that's before the Patriots won the Super Bowl that day!

Oh My Gosh! He's Smiling!!!


And wearing swim goggles at school. Weirdo!

Almost forgot this one:
 It's his birthday and he's running from the camera so fast it's blurry. He was so mad at me!
