YO GABBA BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

While we were in California we were lucky enough to be able to go to my nephews Max and Ollie's joint birthday party. It was so fun and the kids had a blast! The best part was that DJ Lance Rock and Muno came! The kids were so excited! They played songs from the show and all the kids were dancing and singing! It was also so fun because all of my brothers and sister were there. Sam was in town from Utah and Christy and her girls came over from Arizona. I was glad we could be a part of it too! I also was amazed by ruth's cake making abilities. She made an incredible Muno cake and Lance's hat! I wish I had a picture to show you!

Easter!


Because we lost our camera in New York it was kind of a struggle to get some good easter pictures that I can post. But my brother sam took this pictures on his iphone and just emailed it over to me. So I thought I would at least post this one until I get the other from random family members! Eliza called this sher Princess and the pauper dress! She loved it but wouldnt wear the cute gold shoes that went with it! We had a great Easter in California. We went for a week and really enjoyed the warm weather. It got us excited to move there! I will write more about our week when I get the pictures!

How Fast Can You Type!

66 words

Speedtest



I loved this! I got this off of my friend Lindsie's blog and thought it was so fun! Wow you type fast (86wpm)! Christy, I cant wait to see what your results are!

Porter, Oh Porter!




So my little boy isn't so little anymore! This is now how he wants to eat every single meal. It actually drives me crazy and I try to put him in his own chair, but for the most part this is how he eats. The constant drip from the bowl to his mouth doesn't make for a fun clean up either. I love it that he wants to be big like his sister, but after 3 meals a day I just wish he would sit in his own chair and be good!

New look!

So I was feeling alittle behind on the times with my blog. So my cute friend Lindsie came over today and helped me out! Now it looks so much better. I am still learning and moving rather slow at it, but hopefully I will be able to catch up a little on my posting. Sorry I am a slacker. The whole losing our camera thing has really thrown me for a loop.

Our trip to New York

So for those of you that don't already know, Matt and I lost our camera while we were in New York. Luckily that was the only bad thing that happened on our incredible trip. Here are a few pictures that my Sister in law Ruth took. Thank goodness she thought to take fun pictures of us as well or we wouldnt have anything to show for our trip!

This is us on the back of the red bus tour. This is a bus that takes you around the whole town and tells you about all the sites. It gave us a great over view of new york and allowed us to see many things without having to walk in the freezing cold weather and paying all the cab fares.

This was Valentines Day at a really nice Italian restaurant. We had such a funny server that had a strong accent we could hardly understand. It made us laugh and the food was delicious!!

I really wanted to do all of the "touristy" things while we were in New York. Even though we just had breakfast I really wanted to get a hotdog in Central Park. Everyone was making fun of me but I didnt care! It was fun to do!

Matt and I in front of The Dakota where John Lennon was shot. We walked through the strawberry fields section of central park which was so pretty. We even saw a guy propose to a girl on bended knee.

Waiting for the bus to come back and pick us up. It was so cold but we had a good time laughing and making the best of it. Far left is Katie my sister in law who is married to my brother ben, then me, Ruth married to my brother Scott, and then Kristyn married to my cousin Jon.

At the "Serendipity" cafe! So cute and tiny. We had the delicious frozen hot chocolate and yummy burgers!

We loved all the little deli's everywhere. We usually ate at one for breakfast, grabbed a slice of pizza for lunch and then went out somewhere nice for dinner.

My brother Scott and his cute son Harper. He was such a good baby the whole time. We barely even knew he was there except when he was giggling and cooing! We took the Subway to alot of the places we went to. It was fun to figure it all out, see the crazies on it with you, and the rats on the track!

We also had to buy Hot nuts from the vender the last day in SOHO. We went shopping on Canal street but didnt buy anything knock off. We felt we had already spent enough on the whole trip as it was!

My sister heather was so nice and came up to take care of our kids so we could go. It was so fun to just be the two of us. Some of the highlights for me was going to Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, Dean and Deluca (felicity lovers!), and the Museum of Modern Art. It was amazing and we went on friday night when it was free! Our Hotel was also cool and just being with Matt traveling makes me so happy.

New York Baby!

So, Matt and I are going to New York tommorow. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I have never been before and Matt went when he was 10 on a church history vacation. So, we are both pretty pumped. So, that is why I havent been able to get caught up on some of the fun and recent things that have been going on in our lives. But I will definitely post about our trip when I get back. Plus, we took a trip to McCall, ID to see some awesome ice sculptures and also my trip to Arizona. Now the anticipation begins for you all.........
