Santa Baby...

Ho Ho Ho.... Merry Christmas!

(Thanks for the hilarious picture Deb!!)

Whoa... life's been BUSY!!!!

Why hello there! Long time, no see...

There are LOTS of good pictures ahead, but...
I'd rather eat my foot.

Holy Moly!!! It's been sooooooo long since I last posted. Let's see, what's been going on in our little world?
Dan is almost done with school! Yay!! He has been totally swamped lately. He was literally gone until 10pm every day this week working on projects and papers. It's driving me a little nuts, but we're almost there!
Cormick is doing great. He is suddenly very mobile. He can't really crawl, but he somehow manages to get where he wants to go through a weird mixture of rolling and strange stretching actions. I left him on his blanket in the living room for like 45 seconds this morning, and when I came back he was gone! It totally freaked me out. I found him in the next room eating a stuffed animal... lovely. Dan and I are going to be doing some major baby-proofing this weekend.
In addition to moving, his new hobbies involve eating a wide variety of gross baby food concoctions (His grandma bought him one called "tropical dessert" which he LOVED, but no peas please!), teething (no teeth yet, but some big lumps have formed in the past few days), and making a "pssst" sound. Very exciting.
We just had lots of family in town for Thanksgiving! My Mom, Dad, Brother, and Sister-in-law were here, making the week a fantastic event.
Here are recent pictures! Enjoy!

Yay! Thanks for the griz tickets Uncle Martin!!!

The little grizzly got to enjoy the game with his grampa!

Grandma yells, "Montana!" Cormick replies, "Grizzlies!"

Whew! All that yelling makes me tired!

Uncle Bean and Aunt Megoon escaped from the asylum in an effort
to come visit for Thanksgiving!


Bwa, ha, ha... little do they know I have an evil crazy side myself...


But for now, I'll just act like a cute little baby...



In the holiday mood...


Gramps and the boy!


I put up with a lot...


The girls kick back...


10 minutes later...


Uncle Martino, the little guy, and a big creepy hand...


The next picture really cracks me up...


Check out Uncle Bean's cavernous nostrils...


Aunt Megoon is super fun!

Just Chillin...


What? You don't think my hat is cool?


Why does Thanksgiving have to end?!
(and why didn't my mom notice my gargantuan fingernail
before I put that insane scratch on my cheek... slacker!)

Once in a lifetime opportunity...

Hey... as if you can't get enough pictures of little McPickleton...
My mother has been harping on me to get some professional pictures taken of him before he turns 42. So, we did! They turned out pretty cute. Anyway, if you are bored and in the mood to peruse them go to http://maureenroyphotography.nextproof.com/galleries/keilman
The password is Cormick (yes, it's case sensitive...) There are like 7 billion pictures... I'm not kidding... you will see. By the end of the shoot, Cormick could hardly stay awake and was an insane crank-bucket.

The best part... YES, it's true, you CAN order a 16x24 inch print of my family to grace your mantle right on the site! And for the bargain price of $85!!!! Man, what a great day for all of us!

Halloween!!!

So, here is Cormick's Halloween portfolio. All we did for Halloween was dress him up in his two different outfits, take pictures, and..... well, that's about it. Cormick's friend Ben came by so they could get a picture together too! Pretty exciting stuff here!

One tough ninja!
Thanks Aunt Megoon and Uncle Bean for this AWESOME costume!

Doing my Ninja yoga...

Pondering my next move against the enemy...

Keeiiii!!!!!!

Take that!

Whoa... another outift? What's this all about?
I don't feel nearly as fierce.

Errr... I am not understanding this madness...

At least my hand tastes good...

Daddy's little puppy

Wait! I hear a knock at the door... Could it be.....

YES! It's my best friend and fellow doggy BENJAMIN!

Benjamin and I have soooo much fun!

Sorry Potter and Maya, you're cute, but WE are the CUTEST!

Happy Halloween!!!

Pumpkin McGee

Deb took these at daycare today! Apparently, the little man was a huge grouch during the photo shoot, but these turned out pretty good!

Of new and old...

Well, I am officially getting addicted to blogging. I only have 2 friends who blog, but I find myself checking their sites daily hoping for an exciting new post. I am a loser....

Here are some pictures and comments from the past couple weeks....

Yes, my parents enjoy torturing me....

Indeed, I am naked except for my bib... my mom finds feeding me to be way easier this way.
By the way... Carrots RULE!


Practicing for my up and coming Abercrombie and Fitch shoot...

Again... it is my asperation to be the next Derek Zoolander... and judging by my uncle in the next picture.... It must run in the family...

The latest fashion from Seattle...

Can't jumperoo enough these days... it is my vehicle of choice.

Game day! BUT... Sorry Auntie Margie, I have 20.5 years to go before I will try THAT stuff!

Mom, I like squash and I like carrots, but sweet potatoes suck!

Blech... I'm not kidding... they really are not good!

Aaaa! What do I have to do to convince you woman?!?

Finding our inner chi... (not really)

Cormick enjoys the classics...



Don't underestimate the power of making of moronic buffoon-like noises when enticing your child to take just one more bite....

And now.... A fun blast from the past... donated recently by Ellen McKenzie and Mary Burke...

Super hot ski babes, Ellen Moe and Brittnie Burke. (Photo taken immediately before they got hopelessly lost and had to be rescued by the Big Sky Ski Patrol.)

Young Brittnie and Dan on their way to their very first Phish concert at the Gorge... hilarious.
