Flowers

Yesterday a friend and I made flower clips for little girls (or big girls). This is the easiest project and pretty cheap too!

Can life get better than this?

For those of you who follow Brian Regan, this will make sense.
I imagine little McKay thinking at this moment,
"Can life get better than this? I submit that it cannot!"

3 months

McKay is three months old today! It has probably flown by for anyone reading this...not so much for me. :) I have enjoyed the past three months, but I will say that it has felt like about a year.

I love McKay, though. He is so fun at this age because he smiles a lot, stares at our eyes a lot (probably thinking, "how did I end up with these parents?"), and kicks his legs constantly. He can't get his tongue out of the way when he smiles, which I think is darling. He is also growing out of his 0-3 month clothes. I think he is catching up to all of the other babies his age.

Anyways, I am glad to have McKay! What a blessing.

Watch Him Grow!

McKay has had a bad cold for the past week, but he still manages to grace us with his happiness!

Anniversary

Two years ago on December 28th...a beautiful wedding in Portland, Oregon


This year on December 28th...a nice Chinese dinner without McKay in Springfield, Missouri

New Year's in Enterprise

Girl night where Carol Lee taught us how to make watches

This is a classic picture of these 4 boys watching another cousin hit the pinata. This is the most exciting event on New Year's Eve!

Matching pants! These two cousins are going to be good friends, I think. Josh is a couple weeks younger than McKay

Arkansas

So I was born in Arkansas for those who didn't know. While we were in Missouri, Kimball and I took a little road trip to Rogers with Evan's family. This is the ice on the way down. Pretty cool!
Evan and I at the house I lived in for the first 6 years of my life.

Kimball and I at Lake Atlanta, a favorite place that our parents would take us for a Sunday walk

Christmas in Missouri

It was so good to go to my home for the holidays. Although it didn't feel like home in Oregon, it was still great to be with everyone.

Grandma gave McKay this cute thing for the bath that helps keep him warm
