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.

Shopping

As many of you know my favorite thing in the whole world to do for a past time is shopping. This past Saturday I was able to drop the kids off at church and spend a few hours with my friend shopping. Here's the problem nothing fits!!!!!!!!!!! As I have told some of you, my body hears the words your pregnant and instantly can't fit into my cloths. My body is very stubborn and not very nice. I'm at the point where it is WAY to early for maternity clothes, but my other clothes are just not fitting right. My friend Leslie turned me onto some pants at Old Navy. They were a hit!!!!!!!! I'm sorry but for the next few months you will only see me in two outfits. I hope most of you don't notice. At least I won't be wearing my black sweat outfit. Up till this weekend that was all I had. Thanks for letting me share my clothes problem with you.

Season Ending

Ryan and I have found our evenings lost in the television world this year. We have tried to stick to my resolution of going to bed earlier, but I must say we did not cut out any of our shows. Last week started the season ending of our television adventure. Thursday was the "Office" I was extremely disappointed that they ended the show exactly like last year minus the kiss. As my friend Stephanie pointed out maybe this will be the year they really connect we'll see. (for those of you who don't watch the office none of this makes since.) This will be the busy week, HERO'S, The bachelor, American Idol, and LOST. Oh wow!!!!! I can hardly wait for a week filled with cliff hanger after cliff hanger.
Please don't feel like you have to comment on this post. I realize it is completely boring, but I have had a really hard time topping my pregnancy post. I have been trying to come up with something good to post, but it just wouldn't come to me. So, because of this you are stuck with reading about my television obsession.

Happy Mother's Day

Thank you all for all of your nice posts on our pregnancy. That was the reason we wanted to share, we know we have such wonderful friends that will be with us through the whole process. I want to wish all of you a wonderful Mother's Day. Each and everyone of you deserves a very special day. Thank you Lord for these wonderful children you have blessed us with.

The Pregnancy Story

Per the request of my friend Becca, here's the pregnancy story.
I knew this was the month. For some reason I just knew. I have been telling Ryan all month that this is the one!!!!! No one told me they have five day ahead tests. That sounded great!!!!! I started taking them last Wednesday. By Friday morning they were showing a very faint line. I was so excited. I ran and showed Ryan and he said where is the line. I held the test up to the light and loudly shouted right there!!!!!! DON'T YOU SEE IT!!!!!!!!! A little bit he says. Alright so the story goes on and two more tests later the line is still faint. I decide on Sunday that Morgan and I should just run up to Target. As we are shopping I happen to go over to the Women's personal aisle and see that they have digital test that say PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT. This sounded like the perfect solution. I ran home and took the test and PREGNANT popped up. I ran downstairs and put it in Ryan's face and said see!!!!!!!!!! We jumped up and down yelling for the kids. They ran upstairs and we shouted the news. (We don't have to mention all of the money that I have spent on the five tests that I took. It will be our little blogging secret).
We decided it would be fun to have Morgan call all of our family and tell them. There is nothing more fun than your child so excited on the phone describing this new baby we are going to have.
There you have it blogging friends. The McNally's and their pregnancy story. Not to exciting, but perfect for our family.
