Keira Turns 2











































Our baby girl turned 2 on Tuesday. She has learned early to spread the birthday fun out over as many days as possible. On Sunday, we had Robin, Justin and Shelby over for a birthday dinner and cake and ice cream.


On Monday, we let Trent skip school and go on a 'Family Field Trip' to the zoo. Roxie and Brody went too, and Roxie had the brilliant idea of riding our bikes around the zoo. I borrowed a green bike with a baby seat, Roxie has a green bike with a baby seat and Trent and Ryan had their green bikes, and we cruised around the zoo enjoying the beautiful weather and the beautiful animals. That is the BEST way to see the zoo!


On Tuesday, Keira woke up to a brand new (for her) bike! She has been wanting a bike for a long time as she always has to sit in the stroller on the way to the park and watch Trent and Ryan ride their bikes. She was really excited about it and hopped right on (with Ryan's help). Then we went for a run with Keira in the jogging stroller; and after we picked up Ryan from pre-school, we had Tracy, Jerrett and Jeremiah over for lunch and more cake.


At age 2, Keira can:


- Say lots of words

- Climb the monkey bars at the park

- Get her daddy to do just about anything for her

- Get her brothers to do just about anything for her

- Hold her own jumping on the trampoline with her brothers

- Go to nursery all by herself

- Get out of her crib (or our bed) all by herself in the morning

- Close the garage when we go for our runs

- Help mom cook and clean and fold laundry


She likes:


- Anything Sweet (one of her first words were "de dough", meaning "cookie dough")

- Her Daddy and Brothers

- Her aunts, uncles and cousins

- Jumping on the trampoline

- Going to the park

- Sleeping with mom in her bed at night

- To be a helper and a peacemaker


We are so grateful that Keira came to join our family. We love you, Keira!

She is so dang cute. & I cant believe she is 2. We are coming to Tucson in March. I need to plan a day trip up to see you and Robin if I can. Id love to meet Shelby and Keira. (I have met the boys, but they don't remember) I know our kids would love it too. I will look at our schedule and try to plan something.
