Happy #7 Keith!

So, it was Keith's birthday- number 7- on February 27th! He is getting so big! He is such a good boy and a good big brother and a smart kid. A good example to his younger siblings. I wanted to post pictures of him as he has grown up, just like I did for Thomas. Better late than never, right?

So here he is as a brand new baby! Less than a week old. Boy has he changed!

This is him with his Great Grandpa DeKay. We tried cloth diapers at first, but it was way too much laundry and work for me once summer hit and trips started happening. I was addicted to disposables and couldn't go back!

Growing up some more and eating some cake.

Had to give him a hair cut. He did pretty well, until the hair got into his mouth.

January 2006 I think. We were in Utah and went to pick Pine Nuts.

Keith and some of the cousins playing in Papa's loader. He is wearing a hat that Jonathon wore a lot at that age- one that came from my grandparents when they were on a mission in Bolivia.

Just before Thomas was born, I had gone into Keith's room to check on him before heading to bed myself, and found him sleeping on his bed inside of a laundry basket. I have found him in several unique positions when I finally get to bed!

Keith and his Great Grandpa Keith Iverson, who shares his name. This was on his ranch land in Northern Arizona Spring 2008.

Keith at the end of his Kindergarten year. He LOVED his teacher, Mrs. Yeargan. She was super fabulos and we were sad when the year was over and it was time to change teachers and schools! But we have fond memories of his Kindergarten class!

Helping his Daddy with the bees that we kept summer of 2009. All the kids were pretty interested in them, so we took pictures and gave it as an info book to Mrs. Yeargan as an end of the year present. She loved it.

On our infamous clamming trip last summer. It was fun to dig in the sand and find those clams. This was before we discovered the truck being stuck.

Keith in one of his Halloween costumes- at the end of Trick-or-Treating. He enjoys talking about how he has family that are cowboys. He used to say that was what he wanted to be when he grows up. Today it is a fisherman.

And this is Keith today. Our camera is still broken, so no new pictures recently, but we did take one with our webcam. So you can know how cute he is today!

We all love Keith and are so glad he is in our family. His smile is always ready and I love it when he shares it. He is growing bigger and bigger all the time, and although I wish I could just freeze time and have him as he is now, I am happy he is the good boy that he is!

Love you Keith!
