since i am 999 years behind on updating the blog, you cant really expect me to remember what keya was actually doing when she was 18 months right? all i know is she talks non stop and has been for a while, shes very precocious and obviously shes the most amazing human being on planet earth in my opinion. and shes tall. real tall.

cute keya in her easter dress

keya got to actually celebrate easter this year with her first easter egg hunt at nixon park.  i was one of those moms that pushed 3 year olds out of my way so that keya could get the most eggs. i dont care. im not even embarrassed about that. the next day, jake and i hosted our first easter, which was fun because i got to use my new china and our new dining table. i didnt take very many pictures, which is a fail, but it was fun to see the whole family and hang out.

katie. same. bye.

                                          katies going away party...even though she came back the next week. o.

                                          we realized keyas toes are the exact shape as mike and ikes....

                                         keya dressed up like katie!

after i broke my wrist, i went to stay with my mom and dad in ohio with keya for a few weeks until i realized that i have a husband and an actual house of my own and wasnt a teen mom. i still needed help with keya (and myself), especially because jake travels all the time for work, so we decided to hire a nanny to help us out until i was all healed up. i went online and found katie and her timing off school worked out perfectly for the two months that we would need her. she walked into our house with her neon headbands and giant sunglasses and has instantly become a part of our family. keya and i love her (jake prob gets annoyed by us), and we have had the best time.  after i got better, we decided to have katie continue spending time with us, which keya loves, so she comes a couple times a week to help out, so i can go to the gym, run errands, get groceries, and do all the little things that are hard to do with a 1 year old. thanks katie!
