Reeves Mania: Spur-of-the-moment

I decided to blog to keep everyone up to date with what's going on with the Reeves' and to keep up with all these pictures that I take of my children. Jamie thinks it's a horrible idea but I'm including him anyways. I hope you enjoy keeping up with our crazy life.

The house we bought had all original hardwood floors in the bedrooms. They covered it up with carpet in the back part of the house. So, we have slowly started ripping up the carpet. We first started with the hallway. This weekend Jamie and I decided, spur-of-the-moment, at 7:30 a.m. that we would move all of our furniture out of our bedroom and refinish our wooden floors. We rented a sander around 10:00 and Jamie started the long process of sanding the floors.

After we started sanding and Keaton kept screaming because he wanted to be in the room with his daddy (he's a total daddy's boy) we decided that we probably should send him off to the grandparents. Nana to the rescue!! But not until we went to Layni's birthday party (Layni is my sister's daughter). Her birthday party was Saturday and it was a bring your own riding toy party. We had bought Keaton a small motorized riding toy that you operate with your thumb for his birthday last year and brought that with us to her party. He wanted nothing to do with that. Instead he wanted to ride in my sisters' niece's mustang convertible. He wouldn't get out of it. He wouldn't play with anything else. And it wasn't his. He was determined to be in that car at all times. Needlesstosay, Keaton had to leave the party early due to the fact that he pushed another girl who was trying to ride in the car as well.

~~After,~~ During the party, we took Keaton to his Nana's.. After we ate, Jamie and I left and he spent the night (thank goodness) so that we could work on the floors at home. While we are working on the floors we had to move our bed into the living room to sleep. When Nana got home the next day he was so excited to sit on our bed in the living room and watch Mickey Mouse.

Jamie and I had been talking for a while that we wanted to get Keaton a riding toy for his birthday which is in July. But after his total meltdown at the party we decided that we really wanted to go ahead and get him one. He loves being outside to the point where he throws a massive fit every day when he can't. He always wants to go riding on the lawn mower. He will actually just sit there and pretend most of the time but you have to stand right there with him because he can fall off. So, we really wanted a riding toy that maybe we can catch a break and actually enjoy sitting outside with him instead of him crying or screaming to get on the lawn mower. So while Jamie's parents were there , we decided spur-of-the-moment to go ahead and buy him his riding toy for his birthday. So we all loaded up to wal-mart and went and got him a Ford F-150 Raptor. It has a radio and everything. But he can't even reach the pedals unless he stands up. But it does what we wanted it to do -- It keeps him occupied and happy. HE LOVES IT!!!

He insists that Embree sit with him in his new truck and he always makes sure that she is buckled up. We recently took the paci away from Keaton but every once in a while he will steal Embree's and go hide. He thinks it is so funny.

We also had another niece born this weekend! Mae Reeves Logan. She is super cute with a head full of hair. I spent the day up there with them Monday. Here are pictures of the two big sisters.
