The McNeilly's

Well - We survived our first week as the McNeilly family. I have to say that it is strange when people introduce me as "Nikki McNeilly" or when Nate introduces me as his wife. I did receive the marriage license in the mail, so I can make it official on everything. I hope I can remember everything that I need to change me name on. Ugh!!!

Anyway, here are some pictures from the week: Enjoy!

Kaitlyn loved her first boat ride last Monday. She didn't mind having the life jacket on. She spent most of the trip trying to lick the zipper... I think that kept her entertained. (Who needs toys when you have a zipper?) Yesterday for Father's Day we spent a few hours on the lake. It was pretty wavy from the wind and all other boats. Kaitlyn didn't care... she drank her bottle even though I had a hard to keeping it in her mouth, she slept during the bumpiest part of the ride, and she laughed when I over exaggerated the bumps.

Kaitlyn enjoyed her first french fry. I was a nervous wreck, but Nana had it under control. I guess I have to start introducing her to new foods. Scary!!!! She really thought she was big stuff gumming this because she still is toothless!
This weekend we went to St. Cloud for Nate's Cousins graduation party. Auntie Mel put in Kaitlyn's first pony tail. She is getting so big!
I also would like to update you on her new tricks. She can now army crawl across the floor. She loves her new freedom, but Nate and I are not ready for this. This week we will be doing some more baby proofing around the house. She also has successfully pulled herself up over a step. It took a few minutes, but she got up and over it with no problem. You could tell she was very proud of herself.

Nikki McNeilly!! 06-07-08

Well it is official. I am Mrs. Nikki McNeilly! Here are some pictures from the big day. I will continue to add more pictures as I get them. My personal attendant was in charge of my camera for the day, so thank you to Katie for taking such great pictures.

Our practise kiss at the rehearsal. We enjoyed watching Hailey, Darren, and Kaitlyn playing in the wagon.
Here is a picture of me and my beautiful little girl. She was such a good baby the whole day... even though she still had double ear infections.
The whole wedding party before the big moment. The weather was beautiful, but a little humid... but bearable.
The happy family! I am a McNeilly in this picture! We took pictures at one of Nate's clients houses. Thank you to them for letting us invade their backyard for pictures. They turned out perfect.
My happy little girl enjoying the grass in her pretty dress. She smiled so great for all the pictures.
