A collection of photos.

Kellen loves riding his zebra, even naked! Last week when it was warmer, we also took Kellen on his 1st ride in his wagon.
I also decided to put Kellen's hair in a ponytail - figured why not, before it got cut off today. Kellen has also had his first fever the last two days - 101 at one point. I took him to the doctor today and she thinks it may just be a virus.

Power Muffins

I made these muffins a few weeks ago and Kellen ate 2 as soon as I pulled them out of the oven! They are pretty healthy since they have no oil and are made with whole wheat flour. Here's the recipe:

1 cup brown sugar
1/4 to 1/2 cup peanut butter (I used 1/4)
1 banana
1/2 cup applesauce or carrot baby food
1 egg
1 cup whole wheat flour (I used 1/2 white, 1/2 whole wheat. Next time I will try all whole wheat)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Optional - 1/4 cup chocolate chips. I put dark chocolate chips in 1/2 my batter, and they were definitely better.

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all the dry ingredients well and set aside. Blend everything else and then sift in dry ingredients (I did not sift, but poured in. However the sifting would make the 100% whole wheat muffins not as heavy.) Spray muffin tray. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Makes 12.

I calculated these at 140 calories per muffin, without chocolate chips and only using 1/4 cup peanut butter.

Ridin' his zebra!

I'm impressed that Kellen can get on and off by himself.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Here are a couple pictures of Kellen with a shamrock headband on. Of course I can't get him to sit still because he always wants the camera and was taking the headband off!
I also posted a picture of Kellen from last year on St. Patrick's Day. It crazy how much he has grown.

Sledding Fun!

Or not! I'm not sure that Kellen liked it. All Lee did was pull him around the driveway a few times and he was done!
