A hot summer’s day calls for a pool day. Keeley Kay wanted some company so Mama invited Grandma and Grandpa O’Bannon and Uncle Liam to spend a fun-filled day in the sun.

There’s a first for everything and today Keeley Kay got her first black eye. The fast bunny that she is, Keeley Kay ran right into the corner of her highchair. She is a tough cookie though, she didn’t even cry and the black eye actually looked cute on her.

A free day in this family means a Disney Day. Because her birthday trip was a little too busy, Mama, Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa Keeley took Keeley Kay back for a relaxing day at Disneyland Park. Since Keeley Kay loves elephants, Dumbo and Jungle Book ride were a must.

Mama’s lil strong girl showed off her muscles in Toon Town! Then it was off to unwind waterside while Keeley Kay took a nap before the big parade.

Showing support another sporting team, Mama, Daddy and Keeley Kay wore their red and headed out to see the Angel’s play. Sadly they lost, but Keeley Kay was a winner in her cute little hat.

Keeley Kay is a busy bee
Places to go and things to do
Always another fun activity
Like a speedy little bee
September flew by
Leaving only the fond memories behind

Kicking off a fun filled weekend, Keeley Kay went to Uncle Johnny’s for a pool party to celebrate his birthday. Keeley Kay looked like a tropical princess as she played in the waterfall beneath the shady palm trees.

Vegas Baby!!! She may not even be a year yet, but that doesn’t mean she can’t get down Vegas style! Mama and Daddy are Vegas junkies and it only seemed fitting to get Keeley Kay acclimated to the ways of Sin City as early as possible.

First stop! Check in at the Mirage please! Mama was pleased to have Keeley Kay greeted by her favorite Golden Mermaid. After taking some time to take in all the excitement of arriving in Las Vegas, it was time for lunch. Papa got the restaurant pick this time and of course he chose his favorite eatery, Carnegie’s. Keeley Kay had her first mozta ball soup. Yummy!

That night the girls got dressed up and hit BB King’s for some dinner and live entertainment. Keeley Kay really enjoyed the hip funky tunes and even got on the dance floor with Papa, Mama and Dada.

Time to walk off that big meal, so the group heads out to Caesar’s Palace for some shopping. It was a long and exhilarating first day in Las Vegas. Keeley Kay falls asleep anticipating the fun day that still lays ahead.

Breakfast time! Not wanting to bloat up their bikini bodies, the family had a light breakfast at the Roasted Bean before heading poolside.

Put a lime in the Coconut and mix it all up. Mama, Keeley Kay , Cousin Koko and Cousin Sharissa enjoyed Pina Colada’s poolside while basking in the hot desert sun. Dada had a blast frolicking under the waterfalls with his baby girl. A nice escape from the hot summer sun is hanging out at the Dolphin bar. That is Papa and Gama’s hideaway.

After a long day in the hot desert heat, the group retreated to the Paradise Café to rejuvenate. Keeley enjoyed two fruit cups, potato salad and an avocado salad as she relaxed under the cool misters.

Before long it was time to cool down, rest and get ready for the nightlife.

Bright night and city lights: Vegas knows how to do it right. Keeley Kay loved walking the strip and taking in the sights! Volcanoes, water shows and Pirate battles!

Today Mama, Dada, Gama and Cousin Koko took Keeley Kay to the Secret Garden and Dolphin Paradise. Keeley Kay loved to watch the dolphins swim and do water tricks, especially the new baby dolphin. At the secret garden, the lions and tigars were hot, but that didn’t stop them from getting up close and personal with yummy baby meat. Yikes!

Living the jet setter lifestyle, the family made a quick stop to Paris before heading to their next hotel stay at New York New York!

The family enjoyed a lovely Italian dinner at Il Farnio, where Keeley Kay ate most of Mama’s pasta and was after her wine!

After some site seeing, it was time to relax at Mama and Dada’s favorite Vegas bar, The Nine Fine Irishmen. After all the years of hanging out on that patio, dreaming about bringing their future babies to the pub, that day was finally here. Mama, Dada and Baby Keeley Kay together, listening to great Irish music and enjoying the warm desert night.

Then it was time to make one last stop at Silverton for lunch and to see the big fish tank at the Mermaid Bar. Despite not being the outdoorsy type, Mama, Keeley Kay and Cousin Koko had a blast at the Great Outdoor World shop.

Sadly all good things must come to an end.

Home bound :( Viva Las Vegas!

Most kids get one birthday party, but Keeley Kay gets three!!! Yep, the second party was at Grandma Coni’s. She threw a glorious garden party. Lady Bugs were all the rave and Keeley Kay wore a charming red polka dot dress that matched the hostess with the mostess, Grandma Coni. Fun, games and yummy cake made this one heck of a party!

Time to catch up with some friends! Mama, Dada and Keeley Kay met their bestest friends for dinner and drinks at Lazy Dog Café. Keeley had fun running around before dinner at the fountain. Mama ordered her mac n cheese, but she was more interest in Mama’s spicy Moroccan chicken and couscous. The girl likes a little spice in her life.

Grand Finale! Keeley Kay’s first trip to Disneyland!!! This magical day started out with a character breakfast. She had so much fun chowing down on her Mickey pancakes, scrambled eggs and fruit while meeting all her favorite Disney characters. Stitch couldn’t get enough of the Birthday Girl and Mickey tried to pick her up for a squeeze. After she was sung happy birthday to and enjoyed her chocolate Mickey cake, it was time for a fun-filled day at the park. Treated like a Princess, Keeley Kay got her personalized Mini Mouse ears, an autograph book and Mini Mouse doll. Keeley Kay loved the Ariel ride and all the lights at night. It was a long hot day and Keeley Kay crashed right before the fireworks!
