Hi y'all! I know, it's been forever. Mama's gotten plenty of ribbing about it. Even Aunt Shannon sent her a note to get on the ball. Well, we'll soon have a new addition in the family...another MAC (not another dog)...a MAC computer to replace the desktop that no longer permits us to get on the internet to blog. So there, anticipate a B-I-G post soon.
We've been at the beach this weekend, where I discovered I love fried shrimp. We also celebrated dada's birthday. He's on the uphill climb to 40!!! Hope every has a safe and happy Memorial Day!
Love, Keegan

He's a maniac, maniac...(first time)

Tonight mama and I went out back to start checking out the garden. Papa is going to come to Katy soon and help us turn it over to prepare it for all the giant tomato trees, early tomatos and sugarbaby tomatoes mama bought. Start placing your order for tomatoes now - there will be plenty! This is usually squash corner.

I got a new outside toy - a golf set.

And I got a new chair. Spring is on!

This weekend we headed down to the beach again, for a little R&R. Mama spent some QT in her new birthday beach chair.

Last weekend when grandma and grandpa were still here, the family took a trip down to the beach for an early celebration of mama's 34th birthday.
The ferry was fun. We spotted all kinds of cool boats.

I am seriously spoiled.

The beach after Ike is, well, coming along. Every day more work is done. It just can't go fast enough.

The only good thing from Ike -- now Ga and Papa have a water view, where there used to be about 20 houses in the way. Bitter sweet.
Of course we went to the beach so that I could run around like a wild man.

I love working the dump truck on the beach.
Chillin' out with a little drink.
On Sunday, Ga and I frosted cupcakes for mama.
I prefered to put the frosting in my mouth, than on the cupcake.
After we finished slaving in the kitchen, grandma, mama and I met dada and Randy down at the dock and went for a family boat ride.
It was great fun. We had to save a stranded couple and their golden retriever because they forget to check their gas levels. Dada towed them back to a dock, and we had to race a barge to beat it across the Intercoatal. It was so cool.

On the way home, mama and I almost blew away. Look at my slickery hair.

Farrell, Angus and Keegan suffered a loss this week, the death of their baby, due September 29, 2009. We are strong, but miss our little one. Rest in peace, Baby Pollard.

It seemed like it took forever, but Grandma (sometimes meemaw) and Grandpa (sometimes peepaw) finally arrived in Katy on Friday. I was so excited to see them, I could hardly stand it. Of course, they brought me all kinds of new toys and books, of every kind, shape and variety. I'd have to say my favorite is the mail truck, and the school bus with monster truck wheels.

They also brought this Superman truck that can hold my matchbox cars. Grandpa helps me to put them in, because it's a little tricky to keep them in while you load the others up.

Of course, my grandparents had to be here for St. Patrick's day. And of course, Grandma found me a shirt with a tractor carrying a shamrock and a lucky penny. See how happy I am that it was St. Patty's Day?

On March 14, 1995, only 15 months after mama and dada started dating, Grandma cut out a recipe from a magazine for St. Patrick's day cupcakes, figuring that if things kept going the way they were, she'd wind up with an Irish grandkid someday. Sure enough!

So, we set out to make cupcakes. I, of course, was way more interested in dipping my finger in the frosting than putting it on the cupcakes, but Grandma wasn't surprised.

Here we are with the finished product, and I'm still licking my fingers.
A close up of the pan so you can see our masterpiece. I wasn't really too crazy about the "red hair", which was coconut dyed red. I did really love the chocolate chip eyes.
Aren't they pretty?
I am really loving my Grandpa on this trip. I am giving him all the hugs and kisses he asks for.

One day mama met us at the Aquarium downtown for lunch. It was such a beautiful day, and I got to eat dippin' dots too. This weekend we are headed to the beach house so that I can have all my grandparents together in the same house. How cool is that?
