Happy Birthday My Wonderful Hubby

Ok so I really really know this is way late but I started it the right day but no excuses for not posting it sooner.

So July 29th was his bday. He is now 27 years old.
For his bday this year we did it a little early on the saturday before and went to the lake with my family see previous post. After the lake we had Rosas mexican food, yummo and the brownies I made. Zane's present was a game or something that he downloaded off xbox live. He is also either going to get some awesome soundproof headphones or 2 games when they come out in november.

Lake Fun

So yesterday we went to lake Grapevine with my family for Zane and Joel's Bdays. It was a ton of fun. The kids and some adults rode the tube and Zane tried wake surfing. Calli and Joel are still trying to get it figured out on their boat, apparently the size and shape of theirs makes a difference in how the wake is and how hard it is to get into it or whatever. Im not sure. So on to the best part the pictures and videos.

The kids were all amazing the entire time we were out on the lake.



So in this video is colton on the left, zane in the middle, and keegan on the right. If you watch real close at the very end you will see keegan go flying in the air off the tube. Zane grabbed him by the strap between his legs of the life jacket and brought him back down on the tube. Awesome, huh. If you missed it dont feel bad I did too I was trying to hard to keep them in the shot.

Do all 3 year olds do this or am I just lucky

Ok so last Thanksgiving is when Keegan started this new toilet paper fetish. He filled all of my inlaws toilets with the paper either he put the whole thing in or unraveled it to get it in. We usually catch him, every once in a while he heres us coming and flushes. Luckily no over flows yet. He has done this a few times since then but we had been doing really good until he became potty trained. So we obviously had to take the door childproof thing off the nob so he can get in if we cant get there fast enough. Since potty training, toilet paper cannot be on the roller so it sits on the counter. We usually move it out of his reach when he tells us to get out, he needs his privacy sometimes. We usually catch him after just a little paper has gone in but not today. I had just been dealing with a Konnor issue and i see him walking out of the bathroom no pants or unders. hmm I think. So I go in to check and this is what I found. The entire roll completely unraveled and in the potty. Please tell me im not the only one with a kid who does this.

Its Official - Konnor is walking

Site Under Construction

I am playing around with the blog look please be patient. I know it looks incomplete right now.

12 Month Stats for Konnor

I know he turned one June 24th but I forgot his appointment on the 26th and couldnt get in again till today the 16th. Oh well not much would be different I think.
Stats:
Weight 23lb 4.6oz - 49th%
Height 30 3/4 in - 69th%
Head 18.2 - 38th%

So apparently nearly 24 lbs at one isnt chubby he is right about average. Which is how much Keegan weighed at his one year check up too. We will see if Konnor gains more than one pound this next year, Keegan was 25 lbs at his 2 year check up, and he was 36lb at his 3 year so who knows.

Konnor now:

• He pulls himself up to stand at everything, climbs
  
• He walks like a drunk little man, he is getting more balance everyday
• He has 6 teeth, he only had 2 teeth last month.
• He wants to do everything Keegan does and he tries real hard to do it
• He wants nothing to do with baby food or being a baby for that matter
• He has attached to 2 blankets as lovies, yippy not my hair like Keegan
• He sleeps through the night, and takes 2 decent naps a day
• He is always happy and smiley
• He is really interested in the bathroom, he wants anytime someone is there
• He loves water (pools, sprinklers on the tramp, splash parks)
• He is a desert fiend (he somehow knows we have it before we even sit down, and we think he gets more than we do from our own plate)
• He has many different laughs
• He loves giong outside but its so hot he doesnt want to stay out long, at all.
• He says mama, dada, hi, go. and more i cant think of im sure
  
• So much more :)
  

Busted Lip

Poor Konnor. Tonight we were having ice cream and Konnor was standing holding my knees when all of a sudden. He let go and fell. He hit his little mouth right on the fireplace. Ok so we have those pads that go on the edges of the fireplace so its soft, well umm, there is about 1/4th of the fireplace that doesnt have any. We needed more than one package and we just hadnt gotten around to getting more. Well that is exactly where he hit poor guy. He screamed for about five minutes then was fine. Needless to say after he calmed down we all got in the car and went straight to target to get another pack of pads for the fireplace. He is such a cute happy kid. I seriously thought he would have a hard time, especially since he is a paci kid but he did great. His big lip sits funny with the paci but he still wants to suck on it. It only makes a funny noise now.

He was all smiles and playful this evening even with a busted lip.

July 3rd Fireworks in Coppell

Last Thursday we went to my parents to swim after Zane got off work. Which turned out great because their town was doing their fireworks that night. Strange I know but oh well it worked out great. Keegan loved the fireworks. It was great we had the perfect seats on my parents front yard.



After a while Konnor decided he was done and decided to head for the door. Zane took him in for a bit but had to come back out. Keegan had gone to the door and knocked and said "Dad I like these outside." Now if you can imagine Keegan's little voice in his foreign language say this you would be so excited. He rarely says stuff we can understand but its so cute.

Dart Gun Shooting

So a few Fridays back my parents came over for the day and watched the boys in the morning for us. That day was a bit frustrating. On our way to a funeral when our car gave a jerk, we looked and the check engine light came on, so we headed the last few blocks. The whole time the car was driving with no pickup at all, it would eventually get to speed but it took a while. After the funeral we went back home and it seemed to be better but the light was still on so we took it to the shop. While my parents were hanging out Keegan enjoyed shooting darts at grandpa. The first picture shows the distance between them. Zane was helping him out a bit with general direction aiming. And after numerous shots he eventually got this amazing shot. My dad had been leaning back on the couch when the dart hit him right on his glasses lens, he sat straight up in shock. Eventually it got to dinner time, so of course we headed for pizza(an O'Brien tradition, every weekend practically my whole life our family went to pizza somewhere). When we got out of our other car my dad said wow, that tire is gonna blow soon, you could see through a few layers. So the next morning Zane took it to the shop and walked home (about 2.5 miles), he later walked back and picked it up just in time to go get the other car (15 min car drive) before Saturday closing time. Luckily they were both fixed that same day.

Thanks mom and dad for your help that day it ended up we needed it more than we thought as the day went on.
