Happy Birthday McKay!!!!

McKay is finally seven! (after many days of counting down and asking how many more days....weeks....months.) She is the birthday girl today!

I thought I would put up a few shots of the past when McKay was turning two! I can't believe how fast she has grown up. It's crazy! I don't feel like the mom of a seven year old. These pictures are from April 22, 2001. Jake and I had just gotten engaged. This was her party that we had with all of the family. She had a broken arm at the time. Hester was barely in college, Hannah was living with Erika, and Erika hadn't had Karolina yet. A lot of things have happened in 5 years.

We had a "SKATING" party this morning. She was quite excited. She invited everyone from her school class, primary class, former friends and family that was up here. (we put no presents on the invitation) She invited basically everyone she knew. It worked out really well. We had cupcakes and ice cream cups and lemonaid. It was the easiest party yet (not cheap though). Although the kids all were busy and had fun. Not one person felt left out and they were all out falling and skating as much as they could. I will post pictures later when I download them. Even Cruz got a pair of skates on for a little bit today.


McKay opening presents at two. (five years ago)

McKay loved putting on clothes. In this picture she had on a shirt, two dresses, and a pair of shorts. Everything that was new that she had gotten in a present.

This is a picture of everybody. It's crazy how much we have all changed.

Happy Birthday Mckay! We love you!
