Family Fun and Laziness!

It’s been nice to visit the fam here in California. We’ll be going back to Utah and our normal lives on Thursday. Mostly we have been sitting around, guiltlessly eating chocolate and pies and watching more TV than I’ve watched in the last few years combined. But sometimes it’s good to be lazy, so you can then appreciate your normal lifestyle again and not wish for the lazy times anymore, at least for a month or two! It’s been good to relax because before we left some crazy things were happening, like giving various talks and lessons at church, getting a flat tire on the freeway (scariest thing that’s happened to me in a while), and the housework piling up! Well, that’s not so abnormal. But anyway, Chase got tons of presents for Christmas; I think he’s officially the spoiled center of attention. But we have to admit that he’s such a cutie that he deserves it I suppose. At least I never have to buy him toys or books or anything. He’s been so smiley and funny since we’ve been here, and he’s crawling a lot faster now so it seems like his confidence has grown in the last 2 weeks since he started that. Good times.

A very merry christmas


We had a great Christmas. Thanks to all those who let us give stuff to them. And those who gave stuff to us. We were really glad to get The Office season 2 on dvd. We love our house and washer and dryer and everything. We’ve had fun in California, we only have two more days here for Grandma and Grandpa to get their fill of Chase for a while. Hopefully you all had a great Christmas too, we heard Cotton’s favorite present was his whistle. What was yours?

Sorry for not being there

Sorry if you couldn’t read McBlog yesterday, we had a server down. Don’t worry though, back up now! And with a new header! And other lil tweaks. I’d recommend playing the Archers Duel (linked in the other stuff area too) for a chuckle. We are off to Cali for vacation tom. We’ll try to post while we are there. And Tiffany Keck is in the hospital but I’m sure we’ll post a pict of the baby after he comes, which may be next week 🙂 😮

Only for expensive things

Chase is crawling!!!!! He only cares to put forth effort for things he values over $100 though. Here’s a video capturing his longest venture. Enjoy.

Prayers are answered


Last night was amazing. Chase went to sleep without crying one time, and slept almost all night. Only woke up one time at 4am!! That’s AWESOME. Joy and I were very annoyed with Chase’s sleeping habits, as I’m sure you’ve heard from Joy.. so we saw a video on a baby site that was a technique we hadn’t tried. We tried it last night and it was nothing short of a miracle. I just wanted to let ya’ll know so you can rejoice with us. Hopefully the method will continue to work!! (fingers crossed)

The regular season has come to a close and the top four teams are advancing to the playoffs, congratulations to them and better luck next year for the rest. Thanks to everyone who participated and I hope you all return next year for the rematches, as well as anyone else who may wish to throw their hand in and try to win it all. Now on to the playoffs.

December 26 will be the second week of the finals and the championship match will determine who takes home the trophy. This seasons front runners have been Cotton’s Champs with their MVP candidate quarterback Drew Brees, but following close behind has been Mrs. The Keck with her own MVP candidate LaDainian Tomlinson. Darin’s Pain had a thrilling final week victory over Pace’s Penguins to catapult himself into the number three spot and faces the number two seed with his all-pro quarterback Carson Palmer. Rounding out the group of finalists is TheKeck with his ecclectic group of talent making everyone guess just who will he start each week.TheKeck tumbled to the fourth spot unexpectantly (or perhaps well planned) so he will not face his own wife in the preliminaries but may have to take her down if he can get past Cotton’s Champs.

This season has been very exciting and the end is just around the corner as we crown a champion of McNFL football 2006 the day after christmas. Good luck to the contestants and merry christmas to everyone who is a spectator!

Chase is fighting the crawling stage as much as he can. He loves to be held up so he can practice putting one foot in front of the other, and he really likes standing next to something and thinks it’s really funny if he falls b/c he let go. Check out the video of him standing with help from the couch if you want. (It’s 4.5MB) We try to set him in the crawl position but he only lunges forward with any kind of power he has, then kicks his legs as if he were walking. You’ll see his skills in the video. He can lunge up to 10cm now… we’re very proud.
