Cousins!

 Aunt Tori came to visit in March. The kids were pretty upset with her for coming without them so they made the trip over spring break.




 What's up with these monkeys?
 My friend Theresa got Keaton this sweet hat.  It was delivered just in time for St. Patty's Day since we had no other green.
 Keaton also got to meet his friend Brekyn on St. Patty's Day weekend.


 Leaning in to make sure she doesn't get cut out of the picture.



 When it finally warmed up a little we busted out the reindeer snowsuit and ventured out to get some fresh air.

 Keaton learning "knucks".  I would blow it up afterwards but he would eat it!
 Just getting in some practice since Bucking Horse Sale is right around the corner.


 All dressed up for Nikki's bday dinner.  Who knew a shirt with a collar and sweats was stylish?

 We didn't get our picture together on Nik's actual bday so we had to get one in the next day.
 Little crab butt!
 We found a new spot to lounge on the couch.

 Keaton's new buddy Seth.  He knew they'd be fast friends since he's a Bobcat fan!
 2 months old

Keaton and Dad holding hands.  Someone is trying to keep that kid sleeping so he can catch a few more zzz's.


Holding the monkey rattle.  He's starting to get better at it.

First time in the baby bjorn.  It must have been pretty cozy.  It didn't take long to put him to sleep.
Oh ya, got my Bears gear on!  This was Dad's favorite gift!

Ryker meeting his little cousin for the first time!
And don't forget Miss Kya.
They might need to devise a better plan for feeding.  The top of the pyramid was a little tipsy.
Lacy rolled into town to meet Mr. Keaton.
Grandma bought Ryker new boots while they were in town.  He liked them so much he stripped down to boots and undies for his nap.
Ready for the circus.  Kya doesn't look like she's very excited about it.
Keaton's first circus.  He napped through most of it.
The light saber and the elephant hat were the prized possessions they took home.

The amazing tiger jumping through the flaming hoop.  OOooo Aahh!


Kya picked out an egg dying kit at the $ store so we had to get in some egg dying before Easter.
Ryker was seen wearing Ty's Manning jersey this week.  It looks like Kya may also be jumping off the Seahawks wagon.
Keaton busted out his baseball uni Shara and Matt got him in honor of opening day.  He's impartial here but we'll see if his Dad brain washes him into being a Cubbie fan or he ventures out with his own team.
Ryker and Kya are quite the pranksters and decided they wanted to "peep" someone on April Fools' day.  Since Jackie Bushman lives close and I knew she'd be at school she was the unlucky victim.




It must have been too warm in the house for Kya and Ryker because this is how they prefer to lounge.


Kya has quite the motherly instinct and thinks her new cousin is "adorable".  She made sure she told him many times during the week.
Ryker is so grown up and is really good at helping with little Keaton.
Don't worry, Grandma made sure she got her turn too.
All our visitors stayed still long enough to have a photo snapped.

Keaton was crowned "King" by Ryker and Kya's homemade crown.

All three in their MT gear.

Tori and I had to join in too.

Kya's shirt says "My happy place".  She likes to tell people "MT is her happy place to be", right on Kya, right on.
Ryker manning the stroller on the only nice day while they were here.  We had to take advantage and get out there.

Thanks for the visit.  See you in June!
