A few extra pictures


Ty is so close to walking, he's taking 4 or 5 steps at a time, and is very controlled when going from standing to sitting.
My cute little boys! Matchy matchy, gotta love it. Above:Rylan hugging Ty.

Ashlyn's recital




Ashlyn was in her yearly recital,and it was wonderful. She is so grown up. Unfortunately Josh had to work and Steve watched the babies, so only Andi and I went and Andi bought her pretty flowers with sparkles. Ashlyn did such a great job. She always practices so hard and still adds a little personality to it. She also has a great class with some really close friends, which always makes it more fun.

New York New York!



I took a Girls Trip with ust me and my Mom and my sister to New York. We spent 24 hours in the big apple and loved every minute of it. Im surprised how much we got done. The city was amazing. Sometimes I would look around and couldnt imagine how people live there, its
intimidating and scary and thrilling. And I have to admit, dont take this the wrong way but I found it so attractive to watch the people who lived there, it was so interesting to watch them with all the new york confidence. They knew where they were going and seemed so sure in what they were doing, no where else before have I really felt like everywhere I looked I saw people and felt liek they had a story behind them. Obviously everyone has a story, but I found myslef day dreaming and imagining and wondering what their lives were like. Its such a strange and fun and exciting place.
Here's my imperssion of Will Ferrel from Elf. I jumped across the white lines. "Watch out for the yellow ones they dont stop!"
We took the free ferry that takes you to staten Island and it went right past the Statue of Liberty, we figured it was a better view, free and less busy, Ashlyn was excited to have me see the statue of liberty so I had to call her and sent her pictures via email.
We bought matching shirts, what we didnt plan on matching the statue of liberty!
Our hotel was literally right around the corner from Tmes Square. We saw it at night too.




We went so we could see Wicked. I knew nothing of the real story line, very vague ideas of it, but I loved it!!! One of our goals was to find a little black dress in New York City, and I cant believe that we found one! It was worth every penny.


Heres central park and trump tower, we sang enchanted and newsies songs, ate hot dogs out of the carts on the street, and new york pizza, we saw the statue of liberty at night all lit up, I went to New Jersey, and there are still more pictures to come. But now Im home and I dont want to go to sleep tonight because I know when I wake up it will feel like this was all a dream and maybe never happened at all. Oh and we got to go to the today show and we were on Tv. Did you see me?
