12.9.06 - Kayla's Birthday

After the alarm event we headed off to Kayla's Birthday Party, We had a great time with the crafts party that Rachel Planned. Grant loved the craft activities and brought home several craft projects (some of which are still on the fridge). Our sidewalk chalk was not dry yet so we had to leave it at their house (Oh Darn! It was BLACK!!!) David still dosen't know what he has been missing. Kayla received some really cool presents and I would have photos, but for some reason I can't remember to take my camera ANYWHERE LATELY!

12.9.06 - Gingerbread House

Today we went up to the Church for the first annual Ginger Bread House Building Party. It was really fun, afterwards we went home as david headed to church for choir practice. Well David set the house alarm for the first time and did not realize that we had already made it home from church. I forgot the code for the alarm and I finally remembered it and entered it correctly, but I was not aware that the alarm company had already called David and he told them that we were not at home so they dispatched the DP Police on a home invasion call. all the while I have no clue what is going on until David calls me and asks where I am at, because he is heading home to meet the police who hopefull by the time he arrives will have arrested the intruder (his WIFE). Well when I told him that I was at home there was just a long silence as he is processing what is going on! He finally tells me to get Grant and go outside so that they will realize what is going on when the police arrive. Another crazy day at the McKay house!

One day we will learn to effectively communicate!

12.2.06 - Emma's Birthday

Today we went to the Moore Family's new house for Emma's Birthday party (it is BEAUTIFUL). It was so great to get to see everyone! It is so weird to go from seeing people almost every day (living next to them) to only occasionally seeing them. Glad that we are still seeing everyone!

11.22.06 - Zoo Trip

We took the boys to the Houston Zoo today! They really enjoy going and we were able to see Mac the new baby elephant. He was too cute!

11.16.06 - Bath Time

Grant loves to take baths in the new bathtub, he loves the jets and the new huge tub. We are having problems getting him to take a bath in his bathroom because he likes the "bubbles" so much.

10.31.06 - Halloween

We went to our old neighborhood to tric-or-treat because there is only one other occupied house on our street. It was really weird going to our old house! We had alot of fun with all our friends!

10.20.06 - New House

Well today we closed on our old house and our new house today! It was a big exciting day today and everything went well. here is a photo of the new place...

10.14.06 - Trip to the Zoo

The weather has been so nice so we decided to go to the Zoo. Reid and Aunt Paula decided to join us and we made a nice day of it. The baby elephant was not out, but they have two baby giraffes and they were too cute.

10.08.06 - Dewberry Farms

We went to Dewberry Farms with Danny, Patti, Emma, Hannah, Brian, Rachel & Kayla today. Grant & I had a great time and I caught some adorable shots. We looked for the perfect pumpkin, picked wild flowers, petted animals, had rubber ducky races, and played till we were all exhausted. It was a really fun day!

10.02.06 - Home Inspection

Well today they inspected our home. It has been a pretty hectic week and due to the stress from the other events I was extremely stressed out. I called Kaye to see if we had the results and we did not find out the list until Friday:

- Replace the A/C filter (yea, the disposable filter in the hall).
- Trim one tree brach from the front yard Queens' Palm.
- Insulate the pipe from the a/c unit to the house.

For a grand total of $5. I believe that we can handle this. I kept asking Kaye if she was joking, because I can't imagine asking for this, but what ever! We are now one more step closer to our dream house.

9.26.06 - Astro's Game

Gigi gave us tickets to the Astro's game and we had a wonderful time, it was a really exciting time because it was going to possibly be one of the Rocket's last games in Houston. We had a big suprise when they announced the Sunshine Kid and it was Hunter! We were cheering for him and everyone around us started cheering also. I snapped a photo of them that was on the screen.

9.25.06 - Rachel's Birthday

We went to the Melting Pot to celebrate Rachel's Birthday, last year it was cancelled because we were evacuating for Hurricane Rita. We had a wonderful time with our friends. While we were out they showed both our house and Danny & Patti's house to the guy that ended up putting a Contract on our house.

9.19.06 - Bubble Bath

Grant was taking a bubble bath and he was practicing Ducky Duttles from swimming lessons. I thought it was pretty cute how he was buried in all of the bubbles.

9.15.06 - Lazy Friday Morning

Grant looked so cute in his pj's with his cow and sippie cup. It isn't very often that he reminds me of a toddler anymore because he is more like a little boy now! I thought this was so cute because occasionally I catch him and he looks like my baby again.

8.28.06 - Sprinkler Fun

We broke out the new sprinkler toy and the boys had a blast playing in the water, and we had fun watching Grant and Reid playing together.
