Piano Recital

Morgan had her first piano recital this weekend. She did such a wonderful job if I may say so myself. Since I have no musical gene in me I can say she did a GREAT JOB!! She gets it from her father. When I sat down today to look at ALL of the recital pictures I realized this was all I got. These two little men kept me very busy and pictures were not on the agenda. I didn't even get a picture of her playing her song. All I can do is laugh and say oh well maybe next year.

Easter 2010

Our Easter 2010!!!!

Reason Number 3

Reason number 3 as to why my life has been busy, this little nine year old. I signed up Morgan for a charter program in Sacramento. She is loving it. The charter program allows us to have so many opportunities to do things we never would be able to. She is taking two kinds of dance classes a week, jazz and hip hop. She is taking piano lessons once a week. Morgan is even able to take home school classes during the week. We have done a few history classes and art classes. She is loving school and all of her extra stuff.

Reason number 2

This big guy number 4 is reason number 2 that I have been so busy. He started playing basketball the day we moved down here. We just finished up the season. He loved it!!! We found a basketball hoop on craigslist for free and you can find him out there shooting hoops all day.

Right as we finished up basketball he jumped right into baseball season. Last weekend he had his opening day to kick off the season and his first game. Please swear on your life that you will not tell him that I laughed the entire game because he was so funny. One of the innings he got to play catcher. Oh my, he ran over to me and said, "Mom they are going to dress me up." I could not stop laughing. He was so cute!!!

Brandan loves to go to church on Wednesday night. They are leaning the fruits of the spirit. I love hearing him when he comes home and reciting all of the fruits of the spirit.

He continues to have such a wonderful sense of humor. He has changed so much in the last few months. I can say for sure the age of five has been really a good year for this big guy.

Reason number 1

There are many reasons why I have not had time to sit down and blog the last few months. I plan on listing all of these over the next few weeks. The NUMBER 1 reason is because of this little angel. This little man has turned into a true two year old. I swear (OK I really don't, but if I did) he had his doctor visits in Portland and when he heard the good news, "We don't need to see you for three years," he turned into a crazy kid. He is totally and completely crazy. There is no way that he became crazy because his mom babies him and gives him whatever he wants. He has become one of those children where when he doesn't get his way he throws himself on the ground and throws a huge fit. Like any good mom I simply look at him and start to laugh. If this had been my first two children (for the record there is no way my first two would of done that, OK maybe) I would of freaked out and started crying myself because my child was so unruly. Maybe it is because he is our last baby, maybe it is because he is so darn cute, or maybe it is because I have looked at death with him. He is a true and true two year old, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Busy

I would describe our lives as "BUSY". We have lived a very simple, very quiet life for the last two years up in Reno. I can say for sure moving back to Sacramento has made us very BUSY. Don't let me fool you, if you know me at all I LOVE to be BUSY. I love to have lists to do and checklists to cross off. When I have things to fill up a calender I feel like I am accomplishing things. I am very comfortable with my type A personality, thank you very much.
Enough about that, I felt that I had to explain myself as to why I have left the blog world. I love blogging. I love looking back over the last three years and seeing all the milestones of our family. From today on I am pledging to get back on the wagon of blogging. So, for my few readers I am back and ready to share my BUSY life with you!!!

2010

What a crazy few weeks we have had!!! I wanted to highlight the last few weeks before time slips away from me. This month is flying by and I don't want to forget some very important things that have gone on in the McNally family.
Right after Christmas the kids and I flew out to see the cousins in New Mexico. This trip deserves a post all in itself. We had a wonderful time and as always it makes us miss the cousins even more.

The day we got back we had 10 hours to do laundry and repack to head down to Sacramento for a few days for Ryan to have an interview. Ryan had his interview on Monday and by Tuesday they were calling him back for a second one. Thursday he went in and did his second interview and the next morning we were off to Oregon.

We had a wonderful time in Oregon. Again this trip deserves a HUGE post but I am going to highlight a few things.
1. Logan turned 2 in Oregon. It seems fitting he would celebrate his second birthday here since that his were he came into the world.
2. We were able to go to church at Court Street.
3. We were able to catch up with ALOT of our good friends.
4. Last but not least the whole reason we headed to Oregon was to take Logan for his specialists visit. Again I have so much to write about these doctor visits. The bottom line is the doctors confirmed what we already new that he is a complete Miracle. I am going to do a post on Miracles but as for now I want to say that Logan is truly a walking Miracle!!!! The liver doctor told us that he never wants to see us again. His liver has completely returned to NORMAL. He has a normal baby liver!!!! The kidney doctor told us that everything about his kidneys is NORMAL. They are functioning on a normal level. They are still two different sizes and they are on the small size, but they are NORMAL!!!! The kidney doc told us that in his 40 years of practice he has NEVER seen a baby completely heal like Logan has. He does not want to see us for three years!!!!
Praise the LORD for HE is good!!!!
5. While we were in Oregon Ryan got the call that they wanted him for the Sacramento job!!!! We are soooooo excited!!!!
6. We move February 1st.

So like I said some very crazy times have been happening these last few weeks.
What a wonderful start to 2010!!!!!
