Today was a big day for Keegan. It started yesterday with his grandma asking him to go on a bike ride with her (on vacation all week). From that conversation, a simple bike ride, turned into an adventure.
Frank and Keegan made certain his bike was tuned up and his tires were aired up. We had his helmet all ready and his shoes next to his bike when he woke up this morning. We even gave him "power" jelly beans incase he got tired. So, grandma and grandpa rode over here (they live in the neighborhood) and picked Keegan up on his bike...they were riding to lunch.
Keegan told me how he ran over a snake and didn't kill it. They took the I&M canal trail from Channahon to Morris...stopping on the way to throw rocks into the river and find rocks. I hear they had a picnic in Morris and headed back. Needless to say, they left at 9: 30a.m. and got back at 2:30 p.m. (no nap). yep, 20 miles, a 4 year old rode his bike. Some might call it child abuse, but if you saw how happy this kid was the entire time, you would call it living a dream. He loves riding his bike.

California highlight
I did it, I took both kids to California!
We had a great time...travel was smooth with both kids, and i didn't have to use any drugs.
Nana, was happy to see us all, as were we.
We spent our first day in Santa Cruz on the beach/boardwalk. Keegan bought a boogie board to surf with. He thought that by just standing on the edge of the water that a wave would come in and he would surf. Tanner just loved running from the waves. We had a great day.
the second day, Keegan and I toured the Jelly Belly factory down the road from my mom's house. It was a date. we got to sample lots of jelly beans. Than Keegan took me out to lunch. we had a great day together, as Tanner and Nana, played out back with flour and water and pots and pans. that night we took Papa Neil's boat out on the delta for a cruise to dinner. the ride put Tanner to sleep, and Keegan co-captained.
We went shopping a day, and even went to China Town. Keegan does not like China town and does not like to shop.
we had a great vacation. Frank was ready for us to be home, as we all were glad to be back home safe and sound.

Looking for my prince
the princess is looking for her prince. Tanner and Keegan were in the back yard, making a "frog habitat" for all the frogs we rescued from our window well. She insisted to find the perfect prince by kissing each and every frog (8 total).
she also insisted on not letting her prince go, but to bring it in the house for the night. Wicked queen told her princes, there will be no frogs/princes in the house after dark.
we set her prince free...he'll be back in about 25 years.

4th of July
A week with the kids over the 4th. AMAZING! We drove down to Louisville to visit my brother and his family. The kids out numbered the adults. they had a great time together. Keegan loves the girls and Tanner, well, Tanner was content driving her little car around by herself. She wanted no part of sharing the Landon. The only time they got along was when they were eating. They loved sitting next to each other sharing their food.
We swam a couple of times, but the weather was no cooperative. It was cloudy and rainy the whole time.
All in all the week/weekend was a great time with family.

sending pictures from the weekend
http://picasaweb.google.com/brittneymrowley/Kids62809
The weekend is here and gone; again. So sad to see it come to an end. I look forward to the weekends and spending the time with the Frank and the kids. This weekend the weather was beautiful so we spend a majority of the time outside. Saturday, we went to a BMX race for Keegan. it was not the nicest track, but Keegan didn't care one bit. He got to ride his bike.
Sunday, we got up and did it all over again, but it was Frank's race this time. He did great, as usual. I didn't get to see him as much as i would have liked to. I was watching my kids and two other kids. I should start charging to watch kids at these races. All in all we had a great time.
I have the week off of work. Today, it is just busy stuff around the house. Clean up dog poop, mow the lawn, take the dog and kids for walk, get paint and touch up the walls. you know, your normal day to day stuff. tomorrow we are off to the zoo with the neighbors. I'll take pictures and send them on.
