Since our blog is mostly my journal, I thought I'd include this. Consider yourself tagged if you would like to do it too.

Now that I'm 2, I need a new look!
Before...
...And After!
McKay's puppy dog eyes
P.S. McKay made the basket right after I took the picture. I'm not sure if I should be worried or excited about his pose. This does tell me McKay definitely pays attention during Danny's basketball games!

Happy 2nd Birthday, McKay!!
Danny and I can't believe our baby boy is two years old today! Time goes by so quickly. The day was quiet but good. We had McKay's well-baby appointment, which was fine minus McKay's screaming and crying the whole way through. The doctor's office is a hard place for McKay, which is too bad because we have the sweetest doctor. Then we played with our friends Landon and his dog Penny, (a dachshund that McKay can't get enough of). I think McKay's favorite part of the day was having jo-jo's for lunch and dinner.
McKay loved the farm we gave him, but I think he liked wearing the box on his head just as much. We also gave him a Lighting McQueen car. It was suppose to make noises but nothing was sounding at the store, so I liked it even more and we got it for 50% off. Well, when Danny took the car out of the packaging for McKay, the car starting making all the sounds that we though it shouldn't. McKay will be disappointed in the morning when McQueen is suddenly silent again.
I made this cake for a family birthday party we had for McKay while we were in Utah. I was so proud how cute it turned out. McKay liked being sung to, but didn't eat a bite of cake. So today I made really yummy coconut cupcakes thinking the story would be different. No such luck. Fun songs, but no on the dessert. I was a little disappointed, but I guess we are in two-year-old world now.
Danny and I love our little boy so much. I love watching him grow and discover new things everyday, and feel so blessed to be his mama. Have a wonderful year son!!

Happy 2008!
We have reached our one year anniversary of blogging. So exciting! I guess I better make this blog a good one!
We are finally setting back into normal life after the Christmas break. Christmas was celebrated in Utah. It was so good to be with all of my family. We loved everything about our visit minus the bitter cold. I though I really missed Utah winters, but it was just too cold. It was nice to come back to Ontario in our 30 degree weather. I never though that would be much better, but it is!
Christmas Eve was filled with our usual activities, including all of us singing and playing Christmas carols on our instruments. McKay loved helping out by playing the piano, sitting on Papa's lap playing the guitar, whining at my feet (the usual when I play violin. He can't handle my attention going toward something else) and dancing. This dance move kind of looks like a karate move though.
Right before we left Utah, we all went to the Bean Museum at BYU (minus Danny who had to go home early for basketball practice). It was fun to see McKay get excited about all the animals (all are dead and stuffed). Everything time he passed the bear he had to give a big 'roar!' to show he wasn't scared. The reptiles weren't a big hit. He's so my son when it comes to that area.
The new year was celebrate with a bunch of people from our ward. I always feel that's it's so hard to stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve. This is weird because I go to bed around midnight most nights. New Years day McKay had to break in his new snow pants, so Danny and McKay went out to play some football. McKay loved being outside but didn't like his cold hands. So when Danny took him inside he threw a royal fit because he still wanted to be outside. Life is so confusing for a toddler!Posted by Jordan and Danny at 5:10 PM 7 comments
