So we're done with pictures and all I gotta say is I'm glad I only have to do that whole thing once a year! It takes forever and I feel broke but it's worth it to get decent pictures. McKinlee finally got hers done today and she cooperated pretty well. Out of her 5 poses that are on here I only printed the ones of her in the chair and sitting on the step stool thing. The others just weren't AS cute is all. They tried the weird feet thing and I didn't like it, but hey...we tried. Let me know what you think.

Family pictures...what a chore! The family one didn't turn out as well as we'd hoped but we had limited amount of attempts because we were trying to do so much in one sitting. It ended up that McKinlee didn't cooperate at all and so we have to go back sometime this next week when she's a happier little girl to get hers done. She wouldn't do a darn thing but scream her guts out. Tucker's turned out really cute, as always, so...we finally cut his hair this morning! Cute little buzzard. It took two dustpan trips to get it in the trash (there was so much) and of course I took pictures. Enjoy!

So the shots yesterday went well...tee hee...not really! My appointment was scheduled for 12:00 and I showed up right at noon. Apparently the Dr. had an older patient "try to die on him", so he was delayed at the hospital. We got back into the room and finally saw the Dr. at 1:45 pm! Tucker was pretty good considering the amount of time that had passed but poor McKinlee had been grumpy since we left our house. She's been really gassy for awhile and so in a way I was kind of glad the Dr. saw what she's capable of...he asked if we'd been giving her Mylicon drops (drops to help relieve the gas). I told him we were on our 4th bottle and so her gave her a prescription something or other that so far has turned my baby monster back into a lovely baby girl. She DID get her shots and I felt so bad because her tummy already hurt and then both legs got 2 shots each...at least I remembered to give her some Ibuprofen before we left the house to help her out a little. Lance & Brittney moved this morning and I am sooo sad. We went and saw them last night for the first time since they came home from the hospital with their new baby Chloe Jo (she was born on 2/24/06)! It was a long time since we'd seen them, but that's what Britt and I get for trying to let the guys plan things! They've moved back up to Idaho so we'll see them when we go home to my parent's house to visit. My little brother Bryce and his fiancee, Catherine, are getting married on May 6th and we're excited to head home for that! Their announcement pictures are so darn cute and they'll make a good couple!

I have been slacking. I can't believe how big the kids are getting. We're finally going to get family and kids pictures taken either today or tomorrow for all those inquiring minds who want to know. We've been so busy! I'm back to work and working on Tues and Wed from 6 am-3 pm. Yates is still working for Hurricane AND La Verkin Police Departments. We just got back from a nice trip to Las Vegas with the Murray's from Rhode Island. Tucker has so much fun with his adopted Nana and Poppa Murray. We have scheduled a trip out to see them in the middle of July. I'm excited to finally get to see where Yates served his mission and a few of the people he came in contact with. I'll put some new pictures on here of some of the fun stuff we've done and the kids!
Yates and I had our 4 year anniversary on 3/16/06! Eeek...I'll also be 26 in a few weeks and I'm starting to feel "old". McKinlee is 4 months old TODAY and has an appt with the doctor for her 4 month shots. I'm a little nervous to take Tucker with me cuz she will cry and he gets to go get his shots after the Kindergarten rush this fall and I don't want him to be scared to get his shots...it's preschool time already for him! Sigh...can't keep them little for long!
