The past month...

This past month has gone by much quicker than I could have imagined. In mid September we celebrated Mikey's 2nd birthday. But more recently we had a celebration of life as my Grandma Hagen passed away on October 4th. We spent several days in Jefferson spending time with my family and remembering Grandma. My grandmother was a very special lady who had many children and many, many grandchildren who will miss her dearly.

Here are many of the grandchildren with Grandma at Christmas 2007.

Many of the Hagen grandchildren on October 9th 2009 - Even though we were missing a few for the picture, we have had a few additions so we almost didn't fit!

Papa, Colby, Mikey and Kiley eating cupcakes and ice cream at Mikey's birthday party.




Mikey's new basketball hoop.

Mikey jamin' on his new guitar.

While back in Jefferson we attempted to go to the fall festival at the apple orchard. I say attempted because Mommy had all sorts of visions of wonderful pumpkin pictures, hay rides and hot apple cider. This was the only picture we could get, I did get some cold cider but mostly Mikey ran around like a wild man. Sigh, maybe next year as Papa kept saying.


And one last picture of the little man...this one is for our friends out in Colorado as yes, we are Broncos fans too :-)

Happy Birthday Michael!

Our trip to Kansas City

Swimming with Daddy.



Family fun at the Royals game.

Giving Papa hugs.

Loving the game.

So much to see!

My ice cream dish/baseball hat.

This was before Mikey started crying because he hated these rides :-)

Future Tiger Woods?

Or maybe Derek Jeter instead :-)


Grandma showing me the correct way to use the golf club.

Oh the places I have been...in July that is!

I had a blast at the zoo with Mommy and Grandma C.

We got to ride the train.

And look at the feesh!

I helped Kiley celebrate her 3rd birthday.

Patiently waited for Uncle Troy to open her Ken doll :-)

And got hugs from the birthday girl.


I went to Davenport to hang out with my boys (Jace, Mavi and Keenan).

Eat pizza and swim at the pool.

And play some video games with my buddy Jace.

I went to Jefferson to hang out with the girls (Paige with Jenna, Mommy and Me, Jenn with Peyton).

And helped Kiley and Colby move into their new house...

or maybe we just hung out with Pappa instead.

Dance Party Saturday Night!

P.S. - I'm still working on the pictures :-)

Pictures coming soon.

I had a whole post ready with tons of pics...but for some reason spell check messed all of them up. So once I figure out what went wrong I can get them all posted. Unfortunately, it won't be tonight :-)

Pictures from the past month...

So I have been better about taking pictures, but less successful at posting them! The little guy continues to be as busy as ever. We have found it difficult to take him places we can't "contain" him...he's such a little explorer, or call him Mr. Independent, maybe even a little Monkey. I've heard them all :-) But we do love our busy little man. He has a new found love of singing and playing his guitar (aka his cubs bat). He even pulls out a few dance moves every once in a while. Unfortunately, I don't have any of those pics as he becomes shy once he has an audience.

Pushing my puppy around in the stroller.

We do love our Cubs around here!

For some reason he climbs into the toy box to play.

I think he may have a little resentment towards me later on in life for this one :-)

Mikey has a new fascination for seeing what he can fit in to.

This book shelve is just my size!

I get this look from Daddy.

Pouring all my water out and getting caught.

Sporting Daddy's headband.
