The Big Update...

Well, there is nothing really big to update you on, I just haven't posted anything for 6 months so I felt I should atleast say something!!! We have had a wonderful Christmas and are so grateful for the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. We were so blessed by so many wonderful people around us. I don't think you could ask for a better neighborhood and ward to live in. Kaitlyn was thrilled to get a doll that looks like her, Shaylee got a Taylor Swift barbie that she absolutely loves, Jake got a Semi, and Nathan got an airplane and his first tooth! Among many other wonderful gifts from family and friends!!! We were a little disapointed that we didn't have a white Christmas this year... But we are making up for it today with over a foot of fresh, beautiful, white snow that we can go out and play in!!!! Kirt and I are staying busy with work and trying to keep up with these very energetic kids!!! Little Nathan is 8 months old and as cute as ever! He is army crawling everywhere and loves undoing the Christmas tree! He very intently watches his siblings and I am scared to see in the future what he has learned. Jake is full of new phrases and vocabulary! His latest this week is "what an idiot" (just lovely I know)and "what a joke." He has also picked up that if you pull his finger...a fart comes out! ;) That makes mom really happy!!! Shaylee is doing so well in Kindergarten! She loves going to school and learning. She is starting to read and does so well! She is the family tease and is always looking for someone to poke :)! Kaitlyn is also doing wonderful in school and loves the second grade! It is so fun having her read. Jake is constantly going up to her and saying "Kaitlyn, read me this book!" She is a social butterfly and is constantly making new friends!! She won the 1 mile race (turkey trot) at school this year! Her grand prize... a Turkey!! To eat that is! Shaylee's class had a drawing that day as well and she won... a Turkey!! So I am sure you can tell what has been on our menu and the McKee home! We feel so blessed with everything we have been given and especially our good health! We are sad to see 2010 go but excited for a New Year to make many more memories!
