A Great Start To A New Year!




Well I suppose it's high time that I took over the blog. So I appologize in advance for not being nearly as entertaining as Seth, but he just doesn't have the time these days. Well we had a wonderful christmas and we really enjoyed spending time with all our family! We had lots of parties starting off with a birthday party for Alex, Cody and Damon at Woodwards swimming pool, several get togethers with both sides of our family and ending with the big McGary family christmas party. We really enjoy living close to family so that we are able to that and we missed all our family who couldn't make it because of bad weather.
This past month Alex turned eight so we will be planning his baptism soon. Livy also has a birthday this month and she will be turning 2! I just can't believe how fast they grow up! Clayton and Alex just started basketball this week and it will be fun and also entertaining to watch them play again this year. The poor kids have hardly touched a basketball in their lives and don't know what to do with it when they do have it. But I'm sure they will get the hang of it and do great! As far as Bailey goes her and Livy have been having a blast with their new kittens they got for christmas. They wrap them up in little old hand towels and carry them around, push them around in their strollers, hold them by their necks, throw them off the top bunk and during family prayer the other night Livy tried to fold her kitty's arms for prayer. The kittens are well loved and abused.



We look forward to a great new year. We are in the process of trying to sell our house right now and if everything goes as planned it will close the first week in Febuary. We shall see though the people we have it under contract with have been very difficult to work with and it wouldn't surprise me if they back out. I think they seriously fear commitment! But I have faith things will work out how they are suppose to. If our house does sell we are planning on building again. Seth started designing some house plans saturday night and they are looking really good! It gets me excited to get started!

Well I hope everybody has a happy new year and all is well with your families! Thanks to all who sent us christmas cards it's so fun to see your beautiful families grow and change!

If anyone finds out there is a cat house in the neighborhood, they may have to rezone. Keep it under your hat. We're glad Bailey & Olivia got cats for Christmas. There really is a Santa!
Love, Grandpa and Grandma McGary(Santa's helpers)

The latest craze has me in a fog,
It's the elusive term that's called a "blog".
The ups and downs, what's said and see'd
Are featured there for all to read.

Pictures, events, and favorite songs
Keep readers busy just singin' along.
Friends and family are there to view.
In case you're bored, go visit them, too!

There's even a place to write a note,
Or check out a poll and cast your vote.
Keepin' in touch with a click of the mouse
Seems a fun way to visit without leaving your house!

So write about Mommy and write about Dad,
And write about what kind of day you had.
Tell us the tales of your kids and the dog
And maybe someday, we'll start our own blog!

Love, Mom & Dad
