Keegan turned 5 years old today!! Wow, how that little man has grown! Keegan arrived 5 years ago in Rexburg, ID. I was blessed to be there. I found out that watching your daughter go through labor was NOT a fun thing. Jackie ended up having a C-section, which was not her first choice, but we have all adjusted to birth this way for her. I loved the hospital in Rexburg. As Jackie and Zach were whisked off to the operating room, I was escorted into the newborn nursery. I was prepped and gowned and got to watch from a window in the nursery. After Keegan was born, he was handed through the window to Grandma's arms. I got to hold him while Dad stayed with Mom. When Mom was okay, Zach joined me in the nursery to help clean Keegan up and have him weighed and measured. I loved that the hospital let Grandma play a role and allowed me to be right there. That has not been the case here in Oregon.
We celebrated Keegan's birthday here at our house on Saturday. We had a big family dinner in our favorite Mexican restaurant (Thank goodness Keegan changed his mind from McDonald's at the last minute!!). Keegan did not want to wear the big sombrero!
Keegan with his Dad and his Uncle Jace. What a bunch of cheese faces!
The cake was a community effort. Kayden got into the act. We had so much fun!! Happy Birthday Keegan. You have brought so much joy, wonder and just plain fun into our lives. We love you very much!!

What a darling boy. Happy Birthday Keegan. How nice that you could have that special time with him when he was born. What lovely memories to warm your heart.
I have been thrilled to welcome 2 new grandsons into our family. It was wonderful getting to visit with all of my kids and grandkids this past month.
Nothing beats being a grandmother does it!!!
Have a great week.
Peggy, this little guy is so cute! He sure looks like a Glasmann.
It is such a wonderful experience to be a grandma. Watching a baby being born and you are on the other end gives a vista to your heart. Having a part of the rearing of the baby is precious and dear beyond words. I know the feeling and am so glad you are a grandma. "Grand" is a good term to add to 'ma', don't you think?
I miss you too. I have had Oregon yearnings lately. If you CAN come to Cali..stay with US!!!!!!!!!
cute post mom :-) thanks again for all the fun times and especially the help with potty-training kayden! I would say we had a huge success, he is seriously a pro. Keegan loved his birthday weekend, nothing better than dragging it out over 3 days!! Love you!
He is SO adorable, btw. What a cute face. Tell Jackie that after having a C-section myself, I'm thinking they're not so bad. 15 minutes and it's over beats my labors any day. Hey-thanks for the sweet offer. That was so nice. Love you guys, The Morrisons
