Sabrina the Trainer

I just had to post some funny pictures of my sister, who was in town this past weekend, showing my mom some exercises.


Okay if you click on this one and make it bigger my sisters face just cracks me up.

Of course Carter couldn't resist getting on grandmas back, she was on the floor you know and if your on the floor your fair game.

Happy 12th Birthday Preston!

Because I don't have a scanner I don't have any pictures of Preston as a baby on the computer so I went back as far as I could. My little Preston is now 12! He has matured in so many ways but he has always been my sweet, kind, loving little boy.
Here he is at preschool graduation.

Here is a picture of him and Parker, I think he is about 3 1/2 and P.J. is about 6 months. Man they are so cute!


Now here he is, all 12 years old and thinking he is 25. I can't believe he is in middle school, doing so great and really growing up WAY too fast.

Grandpa Warren got him a air soft gun for is birthday, Makes his dad proud. I'm still not so sure but I'm a girl and will probably never understand the "fun".
Here is Rick and Preston after his priesthood interview on Sunday. I also can't believe that he will be a deacon and be passing the sacrament. CRAZY! He will be one of those boys that is about 2 feet shorter than the others as they stand to pass the sacrament. He is his fathers son! He only weighs 62lbs. He is a McInelly!
Here is his Grandma and Aunt Sabrina eating the jello cake that Sabrina made for him for his birthday. We love jello cake, so we have named Sabrina the new Jello cake maker!


Happy Birthday Preston! I can't believe that in just 7 short years you will be graduated and on your mission! I love you!

Congratulations Parker


Parker received 2nd and 3rd place in the Omaha Tae-kwon-do tournament last Saturday. I guess it was really poorly operated so we won't be doing it again, but it was good practice for him. He will be going to Des Monies in Nov. for another one. Hopefully it runs smoother.

Blessings...


I just needed to take a minute and say how grateful I am for the gospel of Jesus Christ! I am so thankful that I was sealed to an amazing guy who loves me and our boys. There is so much stuff going on these days and I am so glad that I have the knowledge I do to help my family be eternal. When I look at the Bountiful Temple (above), where we were sealed, I am overwhelmed with gratefulness that their is a way to unite our families forever. Thank you Rick for being worthy to take me and for helping raise our boys to have a testimony of the priesthood and how important it is for them to live worthy of it. Just had to get that out, as I'm missing him since he's been gone all week, with out me, in New York!

What shoe are you...




You Are Clogs



You are a solid and down to earth person.

You seek – and almost always achieve – a really sound balance in your life.



You are stylish yet comfortable. Mellow but driven. Excited yet calm.

You are the perfect mesh of contradictions.



No matter what happens, you have the ability to stay well grounded in your life.

People know that they can truly depend on you.



You should live: In Europe



You should work: At a company dedicated to helping the world

Great! I'm a clog, tell me what you are!

Our "Bad" Boy


Here is our little Carter trying to grow up. I can't believe he'll be 2 next month. It's going to fast. He needs to slow down and stop getting bigger. I have a hard time hen I think of him not being a baby anymore. He is so fun to watch and I love it when he plays with his big brothers.

House Update

So for those of you who have been asking about the house here's a little update. First we have had a ton of showings which is good. No offers, which is bad. The house we want to buy just lowered by $10,000 so we dropped out price a little in hopes to get this sucker sold. Their are 2 house we have been looking at.

House #1


We like this house plan. It has a lot of upgrades and really moving into it we would only have to paint the rooms and that is it. It has good neighbors. The bad thing about this house is it is$15,000 more then house #2 and it is on a hill. The driveway has a little more of an incline than I would want and being on the middle of the hill I worry about getting in during the winter.

House #2





No your not seeing double, this is the same floor plan as the first house and actually this one has black trim and the first one has maroon. The good thing about this house is the price, which is huge. The lot is nice and flat with a nice flat driveway. It is a daylight basement so their are 2 big windows. The bad thing is that this house has more work to be done on the inside, but not $15,000 worth of work though. So we are praying that our house sells SOON before this one sells. If it does than we will try getting #1 for a good price and if we don't get either than we will be living here

Our current house which we really do love and really don't want to leave except for the fact that Rick has no where to work. He has had some bad conference calls (kids yelling) with the mute not turned on

So Pray and cross your fingers that we can get this house sold and get into the house that is right for our family!

Good Bye Summer

So for Labor Day we went to my moms house to swim one last time. Well, the boys swam not the adults, way too cold. As you can tell by the pictures of the boys. We also celebrated my neice Bryanna and Parkers birthdayl.

Here is Preston showing how cold he is.

Ian was the only one who seemed not to care about the cold water.

Okay my boys love these kind of goggles.

Here is Bryanna and Carter sharing a "boat" They are all most exactly one year apart.


She loved the cake, we love her!

Here is Parker with his little cake that my mom got for him.
We were able to sit around and relax and reminisce about the summer. We ate good food and I was able to hang out with family. What more can you ask for?

We Love Date Night...

So our family belongs to a date night group. Almost every Saturday from 4:30-8:30pm we get to go out while our kids get to play at one of the other 3 families we do date night with. There are 14 kids all together between the four families. "Are we crazy?" you ask, "no" I assure you we are not. These are some of the best kids. Their really isn't ever any fighting and they play so great together. These are some pictures of the last time it was at our house. We also have to feed them all dinner, and McInelly night is hot dog night. I love these kids.
Here is Rick, Parker, Preston and Meg playing cards.
Sweet Meg playing the piano.
Everyone outside playing.
The two youngest Carter and Hyrum. They are 2 months apart.
Ted always the creative one.
Little Czar and Demi with Rick.
So Preston is the oldest by 2 years and really thinks he is much to old to do date night but even though he pouts about going he ALWAYS has fun.
Lauren, Kyle, Carter and Hyrum.
Lauren is the little mom always helping with the littler kids. Here she is with Jarom.
I'm not too sure how much longer we will do this because Preston is getting old enough to watch our kids but I will be super sad when were done. I have really grown to love those crazy nights.

Happy Birthday Parker!

Parker turned 9 on August 27th. we took the whole family to Nickle-a-play. They had a blast. True, it's kinda a dump but every game where you get tickets is only a nickel and the rest of the video games are free. Afterwards we ate at Cicis pizza. Once again, kinda a dump, but the kids like it so we went. I can't believe how fast these kiddos grow!! Here are some pictures of the fun we had.






Parker got an action replay for his nintendo ds. Its like a cheat code that you plug in the ds for unlimited lives etc...
