How it all Began...

I was just going through some files of pictures on the internet, and thought I would include this ironic little background story. So here goes... Here is my wonderful parents, Jim and Barbara McMonigle.



They had me and my sister, Nicki (two years apart). I won't advertise our ages, because quite frankly, we are getting OLD! hahah

My mom couldn't wait for grandchildren. But, I don't think she quite knew what she was in for... Because, you see, in 7 years, my mom and dad acquired SEVEN grandkiddies, all to love, spoil, and spend time with! We have Jessie (8), Gia (6), Kaylee (5), Ryan (5-Ryan and Kay are 5 weeks apart), Mackenzie (4), Joshie (4- Joshie and Mackie are exactly 3 months apart), and then there is Daniel (1). Shewww...I think I got that right. So now everyday pixs went from this...




Jessica and Gia (August of 2002).... To this......

Baba and Pop-Pop's deck during the summer of '08



And....Baba's Christmas card picture! Like I have said before, my mom and dad are the most wonderful parents in the world and treat us all like gold. Even though there is SEVEN, plus my sister and I, they seem to have enough love to travel around! Ok, so just for whatever reason, felt like including that today! Back to current events.
I am really attempting to make a valiant effort to keep this updated, even if it is brief. Last night, Matt and I were supposed to meet Jeff, Danielle, Cambelle, and Chloe for dinner but unfortunately Cambelle got sick. So we decided to try Pizza Hut, against my better judgement, not a huge fan. These are the unhappy faces because we didn't go to "BumbleBee's" as Kaylee calls Applebees....

Expressions sure changed for Kaylee once she got her plate of spaghetti!

She loves her pasta!

Kaylee not so fond of Mackie trying to eat her food. There is one thing you learn very quickly about Kaylee, DON'T TOUCH HER FOOD!


This toothless smile is my favorite! Especially the wod of gum in the back!
