Happy Birthday McKay!

10 years ago today, McKay was born at 7:38 PM (eastern time). I was in labor for 10 1/2 hours before he finally decided to make his debut. He was 9 lbs. 4 oz. and was 23 inches long. Jeremy and I were so excited to finally get him here. We had waited a long time for him to come.

He was a cutie and was such a good baby.

We had a great time celebrating his birthday today. Here Josh is doing "Heavy, heavy hang over thy poor head....what do you wish (insert gift giver's name here) with a BUMP on the head." Then McKay had to wish something to the gift giver before receiving his present.

He is a boy who loves his Legos. He was pretty excited to receive two Lego sets. One from us and one from Grandma and Grandpa.

The family, the gifts, and the cupcakes.

Happy Birthday to McKay! (I must say here that McKay wanted white cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I learned how to frost cupcakes so they are appealing to the eye and the stomach from a friend of mine. This was my first attempt and I thought they turned out pretty darn good!)

Ten Things We Love About McKay:
1- Is a great big brother.
2- He is a BIG tease and he makes me laugh. See below for an example:
3- He loves putting things together and is often found building with Legos or building a creation with his Erector Set.
4- He loves to play sports. He plays soccer, football, baseball and basketball.
5- He loves meat, meat and meat.
6- He likes earning money. He will do just about anything for a buck or two. Once he jumped in the Green River just below Flaming Gorge Dam for $20. His Aunt Caprice didn't think he would do it.
7- Loves roller coasters. All kinds, all sorts. He does not, however, enjoy the Tower of Terror.
8- He is a great student and does very well in school. I never have to fight with him to get his homework done.
9- Enjoys reading. He recently finished the Harry Potter series and has moved on to the Fablehaven series.
10- Overall he is a great kid and he makes us proud!

Happy 10th birthday McKay!
