Rachel Lynn McDonald

Rachel was born May 5, 2010. She weighed 6 Lbs 13 oz. We have enjoyed every moment with her, even her big sister can't get enough of her. Gabby is always giving her hugs and kisses and evey time she crys gabby runs to her side. She is going to be a great big sister.

Whats Been Going On

Well it has been a little while since our last entry. Gabby has turned two, we had a fun family birthday party (i hope to get her pics up). Our dog June had seven puppies that we have had fun playing with, but have sold all of them but two little girls. Gabby loves her dogs and to play with them, running them over with her bikes she got for her birthday. I am just working until the baby comes, just five more weeks and i get a break from the hospital. Kyle is doing good him and his friends our running there "once fired shells" buisness. We are all excited about little Rachel Lynn joinning us here soon. This weekend we get to go to Zion's with the family for easter and it should be fun.

New Year

It has been a up and down past year. Kyle is now home for good and we are excited to have him home. Christmas was great, Gabby was so much fun, although we learned a valueable lesson. Give her the main gift last, that way she will pay attention to the other gifts and open them. This new year has been a great one so far. We have started on basement and hope to have it done this summer. Its a work in progress. Gabby's birthday is this month in two weeks, she will be two. Comming in may is her baby sister Rachel Lynn. We are so excited for this year and hope that everyone has a good year also.

4th of July

We had a wonderful time on the 4th of July. Kyle was able to come home for a week which we enjoyed. He is doing well, he got to see most of the family. Gabby did great in her foot race didn't win but at least she ran. She also enjoyed picking up candy at the parade. We all enjoyed our time with family and friends and it was a lovely week.

Stone Mountain GA

On our way back from seeing kyle we were able to go to Stone Mountain. It has the carvings of Robert E Lee, Jackson, and Grant I think can't remeber. It was just a huge rock in the middle of Georgia with a small carving, which was actually 42 ft. deep and quite wide.

Kyle's Graduation

We got to finally see kyle last week for family day and his graduation. We had alot of fun it was very humid and hot. Kyle was very excited to graduate and is now at Ft. SamHouston doing more training. We will get to see him again at the end of july hopefully. It was very fun to watch the ceremony they put on and be able to spend quality time with kyle. We still miss him tons but are very proud of his accomplishments.

Count Down

We are almost at the week mark until we get to see Kyle. He has pretty much completed his basic training. He had has 9 mile hike with a 100 lb pack this week and hopefully he did well so he can spend family day with us on the 17th. We are excited to go share in his accomplishment in the military and watch as he graduates as a soldier. He is so proud of what he is doing and loving every minute of it.
