HAPPY 11 YEARS McNALLY'S

Wow, 11 years have flown by. I can still remember the moment I smashed cake all over my new husbands face not knowing that he had a major sinus infection. He says he saw the look in my eyes when I came towards him with the cake and he knew that he was going to be in major trouble for the rest of his life.
We had a beautiful wedding, 14 attendants, 4 candle lighters, 400 people. It was the perfect day. Our pastor that married us had been a major part of our lives. He had been mentoring Ryan for years so it really made our ceremony more personal. After our ceremony we just had a cake reception at our church. It was a good time for us to thank everyone before we were off for our big honeymoon.
Six months before our big day we sent in our payment for a week long stay in Santa Cruz. We rented a great cabin by the ocean and we were so excited to just veg for the week. We hadn't make any plans. We knew there would be plenty to do. After two days at the cabin we realized we were MAJORLY bored. (I would KILL now to just have a week alone in a secluded cabin with my husband. My how times change.)
We decided we would just get in our car and travel down the coast. We had a great time going to Hearst Castle, Disneyland, then traveling back home.
Our honeymoon reflects who were are today, we love new adventures and discovering new things.
I am so lucky that God gave me such a wonderful husband and I feel so blessed to have a union of marriage that is centered around the Lord.

CAN YOU SAY R&R (Rest and Relaxation)

Well I have to start off this post with a baby update. Last week before the kids and I jumped on a flight for CA Ryan and I headed down for an ultra sound to see how the baby is doing. I was a little nervous, but once we saw that little peanut all the nerves were gone. We saw that little heartbeat and the little shape of the body. It was so amazing. I don't care how many kids you have each time you see your baby for the first time it feels like that is the first baby you have ever seen. It was AWESOME!!!!!
OK on to the R&R. The kids and I left last Monday for a week in CA. We had such a good time. I can honestly say I really didn't do much. My parents did everything. They cared for my kids, they cooked, they cleaned up after us. It was great. Of course I did manage to do a little bit of shopping (yes Julie I did buy an outfit for myself). Well we are back and very rested and relaxed.

Graduation

Well, it was bound to happen my baby graduated from Kindergarten yesterday. We had so much fun watching her up on stage being a flamingo, reciting verse after verse, and singing wonderful songs. I couldn't help the whole time sitting have flashes of what it will be like in 12 years when she graduates high school. The last six years have just flown by, so i can't imagine how fast the next six will be. We are so proud of the beautiful little girl she is.
