Feeling Much Better!!

This week started out terrible! Alaina picked up a nasty case of the croup, so she was not a happy baby! This was also her first week in daycare(perfect timing)!... So we will see how she does in daycare this week when she is feeling much better!

The good news is by Saturday, mom and baby were fully recovered from the terrible week! Pictures below to prove how good she is feeling!

Last Sunday

This Saturday- Finally better!

Television Star!

I know it's a little late, but I thought I'd share our little Leprechaun's television debut...

We knew she was going to be on Kare 11, since I sent her picture in....But, a few days later we found out she was on Almanac the Sunday after her birthday! I know some of you were interested in seeing it, so check out the video links below!

Happy Easter!!

We had a great Easter and hope everyone else did too! We had lots of fun, sun, food, family and of course eggs...some of them not the right kind!!!....

Alaina loved the gifts from the Easter Bunny!

Enjoying some plastic eggs...nummy!


Daddy even made egg shaped pancakes for us!!

Looking pretty and all ready for church!

Oh, my friend Madeline is at church too!

Fun riding in the John Deere tractor..Alex is a great driver!

This is so much fun!

Just one more loop please?

Oooops, maybe that last loop was not such a great idea!...Alaina fell out of tractor onto pavement and got this very nice egg in the picture below!...Not fun anymore!

Yep...this is going to look really nice~

Welcome home from Mexico Great Grandpa & Grandma Mac!

Look at the awesome bunny cake my grandma Mac made!

Naptime! I need to try to get rid of this ugly thing on my forehead!

Auntie Cathy is sooo much fun!

And I'm out! See ya in a couple hours!

Grandpa, get up! I'm awake and ready for more fun!

The End... let's hope next Easter has better eggs!

Lainey the Leprechaun Turns ONE!

Even though it's a one year olds birthday party, we could not celebrate a McNamara born on St. Patrick's Day without corned beef & cabbage and green beer!! We had a St.Patrick's day theme with a splash of pink. I was in charge of invites, the cake, decorating, cleaning and shopping for presents... Brian was in charge of the beer and the corned beef & cabbage, which turned out delicious! A few of our friends had never tried it and they thought it was very tasty... So, that means Brian is now in charge of corned beef and cabbage every year! Alaina slept for the first 45 minutes of her party, so when she woke up she had quite the surprise! Mom had to open all the gifts because Alaina was too busy walking around showing off her shamrock dress and green shoes. But, she got some very cute outfits and lots of fun toys for summer! She has been busy mowing ever since the party... I told her to get lots of practice since daddy works a lot in the summer! The party turned out great, we are so thankful for such great family and friends! Thank you to everyone for coming to the party and for the great gifts!

Really? I get macaroni & cheese and turkey dogs and you guys get that delicious beef stuff?

Havin' fun with the boys!

This is sooo much fun watching mom open Alaina's presents!

Blake -Yes he is missing his pants, they were "too tight, too tight!" Sooo cute!

Thanks pappa & grandma for this fun rocking horse!

Goodnight everyone, this party is over!

How come I've never had a birthday party?

Party No.1!

Birthday party number one was at Grandma Lynne's last Wednesday. We had fun blowing bubbles, eating corned beef and cabbage, eating delicious cupcakes and opening fun presents! Thanks for all the great presents Auntie Sarah, Uncle Mike, Gramps & Grams!

First Trip to the Capitol!

Grandpa Denny had Lynne bring Alaina up to the Capitol last Wednesday for her Birthday! I guess she loved it and they all loved her! Maybe we'll have to make it a tradition?

Hmm... not much I can get into on this desk!
