Wishing Everyone a Merry Christmas !!!!!!

So we were a little late on Christmas Cards this year, and really we just kept it simple to enjoy the spirit of Christmas and to just enjoy family and friends instead of stressing about gifts and going crazy so I thought I would just update a few pictures of our family and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas this Year!

I just want to thank Jessica who just married my brother Ammon Mckay this last weekend. She loves taking pictures and she did a great job. I will post a picture from their wedding day as well that will be another time. Take Care Everyone

HALLOWEEN !!!!!

We had an awesome day and it all started with Trunk Or Treat with my mom in her ward and then we got a bite to eat. After that decided to go to a few houses in our old ward since I new them and Braelyn had a lot of fun going to the door and getting candy she wanted to keep going. At then at last I went to my friend Marchelle's home and we got to visit for a bit and Braelyn had fun playing with her girls who are 8 and 10 so that was fun.

Trejo's Halloween Party

We had a lot of fun at Steve and Kari's party. Pictures above are of their family and ours. There was a lot of people and they did a great job and had a lot of things going on and yummy treats.

Friend over to our NEW place !!!!

It was great to have friends over at our place now that we are on our own. We were always going over to their homes so it was a lot of fun. We ate dinner and then I had an activity to do. It was funny because it was for the kids and as you can see in the first picture all the adults were working on it for a bit. The kids finally got to help out at the end, but they were all laughing that the kids were running around and they were all sitting there working. It was funny to watch.

We had a good time as always these are our good friends that we get to hang out with all the time, so there is never a dull moment. These kids have a great time too.

Baking Time !!!!!!

We were at a store looking around and Braelyn insisted on getting this little cooking set with an apron, and so since she was so cute about it we couldn't say no. She was so excited to use her stuff, and we had fun watching her as well

They turned out okay but the best part was making them. She loves to try new things and just has fun doing it all.

Movin on to DANCE !!!!!!

Braelyn was so excited to do dance. Braelyn's friends Nia and Hailey do dance and so she has insisted on doing it too. So I found a place close to our place called Hot Shots. It is perfect there only 3 girls and so it is good for Brae since she is new at it. It was also fun to shop for her outfit.

It is so fun watching her she just gets to be a girl, and gets to dance around and have a blast. She has done well for her age. The two girls are 4 and so she is young, but keeps up with them.

Good by to Airtime Gymnastics :(

Well since we moved we no longer do gymnastics and now we have moved on to something else. Stay tuned for Braelyn's next adventure. She insisted on doing something else so I will be posting pictures soon.

Grandkid Camp in August 2 !!!!!

I had to post a few more random picture of our family trip. I just love this picture us girls. I love my family very much.
I love this picture of Ammon and the kids. He is the best Uncle and is always playing with them and he is a Great Brother ! I love him.....

Braelyn loved being close the the river so that she could throw rocks in it. She had a bunch of rocks in the bucket and insisted on carrying it.

Their way to the river to empty the bucket....

We had a campfire and had smores and had some friends from our old branch come and join us. It was great to see them. It made me miss living there and the peace and quiet and the simple life.

Cute picture of Scott and Braelyn. I love them soo soo much. They mean the world to me.

Braelyn roasting her first marshmellow. It was fun watching her. She is the best!! I love her......

Grandkid Camp in August !

Every year we try to get together with my side of the family, and it has been at my parents cabin in Dubois Wyoming. Eileen and Jamie comes from Oregon and then we are all a little closer but we sure look forward to it. It is great for the cousins to get together and they have a fun time.


Below is a picture of us hanging out by a river where we threw rocks and then there was a geo cache that the kids got to look for.

My sister Audrey and her cute boy Braxton. I sure love them and her husband Casey...

We did several crafts that were a lot of fun and I think the adults had more fun helping them.

We went to the highschool in Dubois and shot off rockets. It was a lot of fun, especially looking for them.

A fun picture of my cute mom and my sister Eileen. I just love being with my family.

We got to go on a fun forwheeler ride as a family and go sight seeing. Braelyn had a lot of fun.

Canyon with the Trejo's

This is a little late but with things being crazy I wanted to catch up a bit so here we are in the provo canyon having a little fun. We played kick ball with the kids which was a blast they loved it and we had fun trying to get them out. They had rocks to climb and hills to roll down. And then it ended with some smores. Yum! Thans Kari and Steve it was a lot of fun.

On Our OWN !!!!! YEAH

Yeah! We finally moved out on our own. There has been to many emotions running through me but mostly excited. We just moved to Pleasant Grove by American Fork Hospital and we are so happy. Scott works up in Salt Lake and I work for my parents at home so we had to find a middle point.
It has been over 2 years living with my parents, and so it has been really weird on our own. We had a great time with my parents though and they have helped us in more ways that I could express. I am so thankful for them and we wouldn't be where we are without them. As well as Scott's mother Kaye and Kent and for all of our friends. It has been a long road since we lost money in Stocks and had to start over but things are going well for us and we hope they continue to do so.
When I get settled a bit more and get internet and all that fun stuff I will get some pictures up. Thanks everyone for your love and support for Scott, Braelyn and I it has meant so much. I hope we can return the favor for others when they go through hard times. With much LOVE ,Mara

No Pictures Yet :( !!!!!!!

Sorry for not posting in awhile. I was so excited because I found some time to post and realized our camera battery died and I can't find out charger. I think I left it in Wyoming so we will have to get a new one. I am always leaving something behind and it is something to work on.
Nothing is new with us though. Just staying busy and still trying to figure out what to do in the winter since Window Cleaning slows down. Hope all is well with our family and friends and I will get some pics and soon as I can. Take Care, Mara

Dinosaur Musuem's Birthday !!!

My neighbor Rachel Knowles invited us to go with them to the Birthday Celebration at the Musuem. We had so much fun, they just had so many fun activities besides the musuem itself. Braelyn had fun with her friends Maddox and Elaina.

Braelyn loved all the fun things to do. She took in everything and we will have to go again.

I love this face, she knew she wasn't suppose to touch anything, but this one they could but I still love the face. She thinks she is sneaky sometimes but even the camera catches things.

This was a fun little cave, it was a lot bigger than I thought. Rachel went in first, and I was suprised how big, they were fun pictures.

This was Braelyn's funnest thing to do, she loves getting messy and playing in dirt and rocks. The whole musuem was amazing. I had a lot of fun and it was a great day for Braelyn and me and also to spend it with friends.
