Are you going to be a big brother?

Grayson is doing his best to hide his feelings about being a big brother.

#2 is getting closer

The newest addition is getting bigger and everyone is excited.

Happy 4th of July

May all of your trees be full of squirrels!

Goodbye

So it is not always about the kids. Today I say goodbye to a bike that served me well for many years. I hope that Mr. Keeler takes good care of her.

Brag Photo

It only took us 5 or 6 tries to get this photo.

My subject didn't mind because there was a trip down a slide every attempt.

Happy Birthday Grayson

Happy Birthday Buddy -

We had a blast this year with a shared party with Clara Pickford at Monkey Business and a family party the next weekend, Grayson had a blast. Let's see what 2 has in store.

Happy Birthday Grandma

If you ever wonder where a child is happiest, it is with their Grandmothers...

Happy Birthday Grandma!

So it has been a while since an update... because this happened

And then...

Then three years happened, and I have finally caught my breath enough to consider updating this site.

But I can backdate my posts so now it is time to catch up...

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to every one!!!

UPDATE:

This is Grayson's new Easter Egg hunting friend Connor. They had a great time finding eggs.

And even a better time comparing their loot and enjoying the spoils of their labor.

I don't know about Connor, but Grayson's Jelly Bean sugar high lasted for hours. Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles got them hyped up. And the parents get to deal with the temporary analog of a super bouncy ball. Funny how that works...

Easter Egg Fun

Grayson had his first go at coloring easter eggs this weekend. And despite temporary multicolored fingers, no catastrophic messes occurred.

After Easter Egg coloring, it was off to the hunt. I think this shot is the only time he sat down all weekend.

Helpful Goober

He is saying "Here you go" or "hereygo."

Time Travel

So by now you should all be used to my on again off again blogging style. Please bear with me and expand your imagination while reading my posts and pretend that they were authored on time instead of several months late.

Thank You

Happy Halloween

We attended the Pickford Annual Pumpkin Carving Celebration this year. They rolled out the plastic, pumpkins were carved, and the naked babies stayed miraculously clean.

Grayson decided to play the role of the friendly lion this year. He enjoyed dressing up for the school parade.

Trick or Treat Street in downtown Parker was full of fun, games and candy. Grayson loved the hay bale maze.

It wasn't just the kiddos enjoying themselves. Jamie and Laura sneaked away for some jello shots.

It just wouldn't be Halloween without the door to door trick or treating. Grayson and Clara worked very hard to fill mom & dad's candy drawer.

Thanks again to the Pickford family for inviting us to all of the holiday festivities. This was the best O'Kane family Halloween ever.

Grayson Explores the Zoo

That's my boy, go right for the snakes. Mom is outside with a serious case of the hebie-jebies while Grayson is pressing his face to the glass of the Snake bin.

1st Haircut

Grayson had his first haircut and was a perfect little gentleman during the whole process. I am told that most gentlemen wear there hair like this these days.

Dad goes to China

I am back from my second work trip to China, the visit was successful and should benefit the project.

The O'Kane's Visit the Splash Park

As August draws to a close, we decided to walk to the splash park. Grayson had a blast playing in the water fountains. I forsee many future visits in our future.

It's Just a Phase

I am told that all children go through phases.

I really hope this ill-advised Billy Idol phase doesn't last, Grayson just can't pull off the english accent.

Art Fair in Golden

We went to some art fair thing in golden this weekend (try really hard to pretend it is mid-August) with Papa and Co. I don't know if we saw any art, but Grayson had a blast eating on Uncle Kelly's lap and playing with Papa.

Just Friends

Rumor has it that there are people (Grandma Katy) planning Grayson and Clara's Wedding. I have protested such conversations out of principle from the very beginning, why do I feel that I am on the loosing side of this one...
