Happy Birthday honey I love you so much!!! You truly make my world go round, you are an amazing father and husband. Daniel loves you so much that he can hardly stand to be away from you during the day. He just sits by the window and waits for you. I wonder if that means that I am really boring :):). JK… Any how I know that this is a day late but I couldn’t get to it yesterday. I love you and will always be here for you!!!

ONE YEAR!!!

Ok so for all of you who have been saying "Is she ever going to give us an update" well here you go. I am sorry for not keeping you all updated on the past few months. But life has been a little hectic!! I will do my best to update you all and you can fill in any blanks that you might think of.
Back at the end of January I started to take care of some little girls in my ward. Life with our family went from 3 to 5 in a matter of days. Their mother was going through a divorce and some other emotional hardship. So the girls being 3 and 7 were quite the handful. We would watch them anywhere from 45-60 hours a week. I found myself not being able to do as much as hold Daniel. It was always clean this, and fix that, put that back, stay out of there. So due to the lack of time that I could spend taking care of Daniel we chose not to watch them any longer. So it has been about two weeks and ever since then we have been doing much better.
So on to Daniel, he now weighs around 20lb and is about 27inch tall. He loves to play and be outside. We have a deck off the front of our apartment and we just lay blankets down and put a gate up and he will play out there all day if I would let him, and if it weren’t for those horrible nape things… Daniel also loves water. I don’t think I really have to mop the floor too often because he takes care of it with his baths.... We are so excited and can’t wait to take him swimming I think that he might be nervous at first but who knows with this kid! He has also learned how to climb on things. Including the couch, his recent discovery STAIRS!! I really think he is part monkey and one of these days he is going to wake up and have a tail!!.. No really it is fun to watch him learn and grow. I am sad to say that he really is not a baby anymore, but when I say that I just think of all the fun things that we are learning together and the little boy that he has become!! We see more and more of his personality every day, he is so much like his daddy.
So Saturday we celebrated Daniels first birthday. Time really goes by fast and I hope that I will be able to keep up with this little guy as he learns more and more about the world around him. But needless to say his party was a great success. After a couple of baths we peeled our little monster out from under all of the frosting. I will post some pictures as soon as we are able to get them off of our camera. But for now this will have to do. I hope that I will be able to keep you all updated on us a little better than I have been. But for now we will just have to see. We Love all of you guys and hope that you all have a great week.
Love the McGee’s

Daniel is 9 Months!!

Ok so once again I have lost track of time. I have been meaning to get on and give you all an update but have just not been able too with all the things that have been going on. So I due believe that you are all deserving a much needed update on our little portion of the McGee family. So here goes.
Adam has started school at UVU and is doing really well. I am always amazed that he can be working full time, go to school full time, have a family and still get a 3.6 GPA and have slept through 2 of his finals. How he does it I have no idea!! Well anyhow he is enjoying work as well. Not that far back he received a per motion and now works in the update department. And is now learning flash, and is very excited about it. He is enjoying life and is hoping that he is able to learn more in animation and the field that he is working in. As for me there is not to much that is new although there is some, I have decided to wait on school for right now. But have been taking some cake decorating classes. Adam designed me a web site if you want to take a look www.puffsofsugar.com. I have a couple more cakes that I will be doing this spring and summer. Not including one the end of this month for my sister. It is really stressful at times but I truly do enjoy it. I have also started to take care of some little girls during the week for a sister in our ward. So that is really all that I have been up to.
As for Daniel he has been up to so much lately. In the last couple of months he has continued to eat solid foods and is now just getting use to the different textures, although he really likes bananas and strawberries, peas and green beans are not his favorite, although he does eat them. Around the beginning of December Daniel also learned how to crawl. But then just learning how to crawl only lasted about a week, and he was already pulling up, and trying to figure out how to climb. I think it is kinda funny when he falls I know that sounds mean but he just lays there and the reaction is so funny. Granted we do pick him up when he is really hurt. Any how I really like to watch him learn new things. Daniel is now just starting to figure out how to balance. I do hope that he does not start to walk for just a little longer. Although I don't think that this kiddo is going to slow down for anything!! Daniel has also learned a couple of words. He loves to say DADA. He also says something to the affect of "DAD DO IT." Usually wanting Adam to pay attention to him or something like that. One of his favorite things to do is to wait for Adam to get home from work. He will crawl over to the window pull himself up, to stand there saying DADA over and over. I think its pretty cute. So any how I think that is about all that is going on for now. Well we hope that all of you have had an amazing holiday season. We had lots of fun being around family and thank all that sent cards and gifts, we truly are enjoying them. Daniel received several books and that box of diapers that he asked Santa for. He was quite excited about the diapers!! (he just really only wanted to play with the box, but oh well.) Adam got some books and a Video camera from his parents. I received some totally awesome slippers and a new carrying case for all my cake supplies. It was really fun!! Well anyhow I really will try to make sure that next month is on time. Oh and if there are any of you who did not get a Christmas card from us and would still like one or just a picture of our family please let me know so I can get them sent out. Well I think that this is long enough so I will let you all go and will talk more later.
Love you all very much!!
Adam, Betsy and Daniel
