12.19.09 -- Grant's Christmas Party at School

Today was the Christmas Party at Grant's school. It was really adorable and our room mom did a great job putting all of it together.

12.18.08 -- Emily's Christmas Party

David and I were able to escape for dinner at a nice local seafood restaurant for the Christmas Party. We had a really entertaining dinner with my coworkers (not hard for this group) and a nice dinner on top of that. I was really glad that it went off well because I was one of the three that were responsible for planning it this year. David's Parents watched Grant and it sounds like they all had a nice time!

12.14.08 -- Church Christmas Program

Well Tonight is the Church's Christmas Program Grant has been practicing to prepare for it and we cannot wait to see how it turns out. We made a mad dash to buy a new video camera before the performance tonight so we would be able to remember the glorious occasion for years (we were actually hoping for material for America's Funniest Videos). Last year when we were at Disney World our video camera went kaput and we have not taken the time to replace it until now and we figured with the new baby on the way it would be a great time to break down and replace it.

12.11.08 -- SNOW!!!

At dark it started snowing and it kept snowing! Grant stayed up until 11PM (on a school night) This only happens once every I don't know how many years and we were going to enjoy it. It was a winter wonderland around our house and it was very special! We really missed the snow fight with the Moore and the Evans family like we had the last time after we all put the kiddos to bed and there was not even close to as much snow that time.

12.12.08 -- Snow in Houston

Last night when Grant went to bed I told him not to expect the snow to be here in the morning, not only was it still here but it was still on the roof when I made it home that night around 6PM. This has got to be the most snow that we have had in a very long time.

12.10.08 -- Letter to Santa

Well today Grant came home from school and told us that they had written letters to Santa today at School. I told him that was great and asked him what he told Santa that he wanted for Christmas and he responded that we needed to wait and see what he brings.

12.6.08 -- Emma's Spa Birthday Party

We went to the Moore's house for Emma's 6th Birthday today. It was wonderful to see our friends (which we don't see enough of because of our busy lives) and to let all the kids play and have a great time.

12.5.08 -- Church Christmas Party

We had the Church Christmas Dinner for the families with kiddos tonight and Grant had his photo taken with Santa.

11.22.08 -- Michael's Birthday Party

Today we went to Michael's birthday party and it was a bowling party. Grant has never bowled except for on the Wii or the kiddie bowling at Incredible Pizza (both of which are not like the real thing), but he really enjoyed it and they seemed to have a really good time.

11.6.08 -- A New McKay on the way...

Sorry it has taken so long to post this good news but we wanted to make sure we were beyond the first trimester before we announced it and we wanted to make sure that someone did not spoil our suprise for Grant! I am glad that we decided to announce it this week because this is the week that I began to bloom so to say!

It looks like our new addition is expected from early to mid May. They are keeping a close eye on this one because of how large Grant was so we could two children born in the same week 6 years apart!!!!

Sorry for the poor quality but this was just a quick snap after they finished a procedure and the baby was moving alot because they had disturbed it.

10.23.08 -- Trip to the Fire Station

Today Grant's Class took a field trip to the fire station. He had a blast and they took a group photo while they were there. Grant has had a blast this year in Kinder and has made many friends. He is also reading small books now and we are continuing to work on his sight words.

10.3.08 -- Kindergarten School Pictures

Here are Grant's Kindergarten School Pictures. They took these the Thursday before Hurricane Ike hit. It is kinda cool because this is another kindergarten first for us.

10.1.08 -- Paula's Birthday Tailgate Party at Church

Happy Birthday PAULA!!!

Well tonight at Church they did the make up Tailgate party for last week's see you at the pole. I stayed home and rested after the "Fun" week we have had. David and Grant went and Grant came home soaking wet from the foam pit. Grant seemed to have a really great time.

9.28.08 -- Musuem with Nana

Today after Church we went to Fuddruckers and then to the Museum of Natural Science. Nana saw the butterflies with us for the first time and then we went to Dinosaur CSI. Nana was really impressed with the butterflies and how they would flutter you. I believe that they are my favorite exhibit and I really enjoy it every time we go.

9.29.08 -- Hospital Visit

Well I started getting a migraine last night and I was also having some weird tingles in my are so I went to see my Dr. and she put me in the hospital so they could get a neuro consult and kick my headache. At first I thought I was going to die and then I progressed into wanting to die, but I survived and after a stay and some tests they sent me home the next afternoon. I now have a neurologist that is on a mission to find out what is causing them so hopefully I will end up with a treatment plan that will fix this problem in the future.
