Ta- Ta- TaDa

Kegan's new favorite saying..."Ta-ta-tada". There are 3 places where he could have picked this adorable new phrase up from - Grandma who says it when he gets changed or dressed and then looks at himself in the mirrow, daddy who says it in the evenings when he helps Kegan get ready for bed, or his favorite red, furry friend, Elmo who says it whenever he is introducing "What Elmo is thinking about tooooo-oooday!"...if you have a child who watches this, then you understand. My guess...it was a combination of all three and he decided since his life was so full of "ta-ta-tadas" he might as well start saying it...and since I laugh and say it back to him every time...all the more reason to say it...he laughs and laughs when I do it back to him. Sooo...our life is filled with "ta-ta-tada" - when we get dressed, when we get undressed, when we take a puzzle piece out, when we put a puzzle piece in, when we climb up the steps, when we go down the slide, etc...I think you get the picture. Never the less...it is ADORABLE and it keeps us smiling through-out the day. Little man is definitely not short on confidence!!!

With all of our excitement in life's little joys this week we have kept busy.
Tuesday morning he went with me to get the oil changed in my car. The VW dealership has one of those massage chairs in the waiting room and I thought it looked like a good occupier of time...so here Kegan is enjoy his back massage...he would laugh and laugh when it would make his body jiggle.

Hmm...what else can this thing do?


Wednesday we had lunch with Aunt Stephani and Mariann - Pizza, one of Kegan's favorites. Unfortunately I did not get out the camera. As always thought...he had one red face when all was eaten and done. That evening we went of to Grandma and Grandpa's house while Daddy was in the fields working late. We had dinner then went to play in the park down the street. Kegan LOVED the slide. This is actually something new for him. Up until about a week or two, ago, Kegan would not go down the big slides at parks, just his little one at the house. I guess one day he just decided to go for it and he liked it...now he is slide crazy at parks...the slide beating out the famous and ever so wonderful swing, at times. Now, I know some teacher down the road is going to be upset and have to deal with this...but I let him climb up the slide...and let me tell you, Kegan is one strong dude. Sliperyflip-flops and all he can climb up on his own strength. It made for a fun evening...and a great nights sleep.

Thursday mommy and Kegan took a trip to the farm to have lunch with daddy and take another ride on the combine. Kegan had a super lunch of applesauce, french fries, some spaghetti and meatballs, and...ta-ta-tada...
CHOCOLATE CAKE! Check out the mouth ready for that yummy bite!

"Oh mom! This is soooo good!"


Frosting anyone?

After he was all sugared up we headed out to the fields.
Don't I have some handsome men!?!
Howdy mom!

A picture of the combine...for those of you who might have never seen one...I know I never had...or at least had never noticed one or knew what it was...anyways...here is what one looks like. Huge things, aren't they?

Bright sun in the face...squinty eyes...

We have close quarters while all riding inside the combine, so Kegan moves between Matthew's lap, the floor, and my lap...and well here he decided behind Matthew would be a good choice.

After a much needed nap, we headed to the June Chat-n-Play - playing at the park, eating yummies mommy doesn't always give him, and feeding the ducks, and what turned out to be tons of turtles, too! Kegan knew exactly what they were and was exciting to see them!
Striking a pose with Doritos face...

Enjoying a very red...very drippy...very not so good idea but Kegan loved it, red Popsicle. By the end of that thing, he had red Popsicle EVERYWHERE...all over his hands, arms, face, and yes, his shirt and shorts. (It came out of the shirt...I am still working on the pants. I really must not have been thinking straight to give him RED!)

After a clean up of the hands and face he headed off to the park to play - slide, swing, marry-go-round, and a rocking duck!


Phew....what a day. He is sleeping hard tonight!

One more thing I wanted to add. This video is from Monday. Kegan is riding his horse with the squeaky ball under it...like I had talked about a few post ago.
