Kiegen's First Blog

Kiegen always sees me updating our family blog and decided that he wanted to start blogging too. He has his own digital camera that he takes pictures with all the time and wanted a place to show them off. I'm not sure how long it will last because I barely have enough time to update my own blog, but we're giving it a shot. Check it out at kiegen.blogspot.com

Mowing the Lawn

We finally got grass planted and along with the weeds it was long enough to mow. Kiegen and Spencer got on the riding mower and now it looks great.
Kiegen even got to steer himself and did an awesome job. He loves helping his dad.

Cohen is 3 Months

Cohen turned 3 moths on the 14th of August. He is just getting big so fast. He looks more like Kiegen everyday.

Sticking his tongue out, usually his lips are covered in spit bubbles so this is a cute change.

He is just learning to hold toys and is always sucking on his hands or now toys.

We put the activity bar on his swing and he loves it!

This is Kiegen just chillin at home yesterday. I can't believe how much he has grown up.

More Bear Lake Pictures

I found some more Bear Lake Pictures that I thought I would share. We had such a great time. This is Me and the boys on the boat.

I forced Kiegen to go on the tube with Uncle Tim and me. He is smiling in the picture, but I had to drag him on to the tube kicking and screaming. I knew he'd have fun if he would just try:)

See, he even gave the thumbs up when he was done.

Cohen was not loving his life jacket.

This is Kiegen with Uncle Sam. Sam is trying to help Kiegen skim board. Kiegen loves hanging out with Uncle Sam!

In Loving Memory

For those who don't know, on Saturday, August 9, 2008, our dog Biggins was hit and killed. Kiegen and I were on our way to the Primary activity and as we were driving down the street, Biggins chased us. I didn't know that he was chasing us or that he had run in front of us and I hit him. Spencer was out front talking to a neighbor and saw the whole thing. It was very traumatic for me, but the boys took it very well considering. He was a weird dog, but we did love him and will miss him.


This is a tree we planted in the front yard over the spot we buried him. The burial was very sad and our other dog Roxy was very distraught as she tried to dig Biggins up as we buried him. I think his death has affected her the most as she misses her mate and is acting a little depressed. She is pregnant though and we are considering keeping one of her puppies. Hopfully a new friend will lift her spirits.

More Lagoon Pics

Kiegen and Aunt Ari on this new ride called the Odyssey. Not only is it a fun ride, but it is fun to watch others ride. As the cars go around, up, and down, unsuspecting riders are sprayed by fake sea life. It is HILARIOUS!!!

Spencer and me on "The Screamer"


Matt (Ari's boyfriend), Ari, my mom Jody, and me on the "Cliff Hanger"


We didn't go into the water park, so the fountain at the entrance was as good as it got for Kiegen and it was definitly good enough. He loved it!

Kiegen and Grandma Jody waiting in line.

Lagoon

So, we got to go to Lagoon as a family and it was SO Fun!! It was a little difficult with an infant, but Cohen was so good all day and since we went with my parents and sister, they helped a ton.
See, what a happy baby!
Flying Aces, pretty much my favorite ride and 1 of 5 I went on all day.

Kiegen and Grandpa Bill won lots of prizes playing games and they just kept piling them up around Cohen in the stroller.


We spent a lot of time in Kiddy Land and Kiegen rode this one a couple times.

Bear Lake

So, every year my mom's family has a reunion at Bear Lake. It is a week of camping and hanging out with family and it is always a blast! This year we went for 5 of the 7 days and it was so much fun I can't wait until next year. Here are a couple pics and I will definitly post more when I get the chance.

These are Kiegen's 3 girlfriends (actually 2nd cousins, but he doesn't know the difference), that he played with the entire time we were at the Lake. (going clockwise from Kiegen, Sophia, Anisa, and Anika) When asked about the girls by another cousin, Kiegen replyed, "I'm lucky, I have 3 girlfriends and I haven't dated much. I think I'll have to drive to go on a date." When asked if he kissed the girls he said "No, I asked them to kiss me and they said no."

The things that kid comes up with I don't even know where he learns half of it.

Just a cool picture of the girls on the beach.

I thought this picture of Kiegen was so cute. He is such a beach bum. He could spend all day out there and I had to make him eat or drink because he didn't want to do anything to take away from time on the beach.

Just a nice pic of Spencer and Cohen. Spencer is showing off his farmers tan:)
