New York Continued!!

We got up early on Monday morning and went to the Today Show. The kids did really good, but they got bored of waiting to get on TV. We weren't standing in the right spot so we didn't get on.

We were able to see Al Roker though. The kids thought it was cool, at the time, I don't think they really know who he is.

After the Today Show we went to the NBC Store. That was so fun. Talk about bringing back memories.

I might be the only one who watched Saved By The Bell growing up but I had to get a picture of this shirt. My brother Colby and I watched this show every Saturday morning. I totally remember the Zack Attack band. They had Bayside Tigers shirts there too. I should have bought one for the memories.

The Statue of Liberty is pretty awesome to see. I don't think you can appreciate it until you see it in person. It was amazing to see. It was raining when we went to see it. Still it was fun. I think Adyson liked it a lot, she might have just liked being able to use the umbrella, who knows.

We let the kids ride the Ferris Wheel that is inside the Toys R Us at Times Square. They had fun riding that. That was one of Adyson's favorite things to do. Can you believe they fit a HUGE Ferris Wheel inside a store. I couldn't believe it.

We went to FAO Schwartz. I know you all recognize this piano. It was on the movie BIG! We played on it for a little while. Pretty cool. Yes even I got on it. I don't have any pictures of me, but I think Shirley got some. I ordered one of these for my house, it will be fun. Just kidding they cost $250,000.00. Oh wait I have that laying around my house. Yea right!

Everyone keeps asking me who took care of the boys while I was gone. Are you ready for this? DAISON did! He did an awesome job. Even Cameron had fun with him. He made sure that the boys didn't just sit at home the whole time. He took them to do a lot of different things and to visit people. Thanks Babe for working so hard so that Addy and I were able to go. I owe you one!

New York !!

Adyson and I had the opportunity to go to New York with Daison's Mom Shirley, his sister Brandi, her son Stockton, Daison's Aunt Bobbie,and her granddaughter Kelli. We had a ball! Thanks Shirley and Bobbie for making it so much fun for us!

Times Square is just like it looks in the movies and on TV. The buildings almost look like they are fake. There were so many lights that when we went out at night Adyson thought it was daytime.

Stockton, Kelli, and Adyson at Mars 2112. I wouldn't recommend eating at this restaurant, but it was pretty fun. Live and Learn right?

We went and saw The Lion King on Broadway. It was AWESOME!! I would highly recommend this show to anyone, with or without kids. Now I want to see Wicked or Mamma Mia. (How fun would that be?!)

We went to a Yankees game. They were playing the Tampa Bay Rays. It was fun to see all of the Yankee fans and be part of the crowd. It was so hot, and I nearly melted, literally, if you want to ask me maybe I will show you the pics. I didn't want to post it on the blog and have everyone and their dog see me at my best.

Adyson sporting her sunglasses and her brothers new Yankees hat. She told me that she can't believe that boys can wear hats, because they are so hot! She is so stinkin cute!

This is only half of the stadium! It was PACKED! I love how the grass looks on baseball fields. Don't you?

After the game we went and cooled off at Serendipity's. It was sooooo yummy! Highly recommended! The Frozen Hot Chocolate is to die for. I had to take a picture of this, it reminds me of Gavin. Anyone who knows him knows that he LOVES CHOCOLATE!! I bought some packets of the Hot Chocolate to bring home and let the boys taste. It is pretty good, but nothing like at Serendipity's.

This is only the first couple of days in New York. More pics to come shortly!

Trick or Treat!

Adyson was so cute dressed up like Peincess Leia. The boys are so into Star Wars right now and so she thought she would join in the fun.

Here is my little Darth Vader (posing again!). He loved being the bad guy of the night.

I didn't realize Obi Wan Kanobi was so little. He looked so good. And he loved the fact that we put a beard on him. He kept telling his dad, "Look I have a beard just like you!"

Our cute little cowboy. We finally got Cameron to put on his Woody costume. I though since he loved Toy Story he would wear this, I was wrong. He finally put it on the second before we went Trick or Treating. I know it has nothing to do with Star Wars, but he looks so cute!

Halloween Party

Wednesday we had a Hallween party at my Mother-in-laws house. The kids had a blast! Cameron is missing from the photo because all the kids were doing one thing, so he had to do something completely different.

Braiden decided to pretend that he bobbed for this apple. He didn't however. He just picked one up from the bucket and put it in his mouth. What a nut!

Gavin caught an apple though. I told you he likes to pose for the camera.

Adyson caught an apple too! She was the first one and she did awesome!

Here is Cameron doing his own thing. I told you, if you can tell there are no other kids around. He just walked around by himself the whole time, or he would wrestle with Daison.

Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins on Tuesday night. It was quite the experience. At the last minute a guy called about the puppies and came out to look at them. So I ended up doing most of the work.Here is our finished product. They don't look like that anymore, actually they look like they were carved about 2 weeks ago.

Cameron was more interested in the DS than carving his pumpkin. However he couldn't be left out of all the fun. He sat at the table the whole time playing the DS.

My brother Colby and his wife Amanda stopped by and I took advantage of Colby. I let Amanda off the hook this time because she is pregnant, but I will get her next year. (LOL) Colby was very helpful. Thanks Colb.

Braiden and Adyson did so good cleaning out their own pumpkins. I love that Adyson is old enough to do things on her own and she is awesome with helping her brothers.

Gavin was really good at cleaning out his pumpkin too. He always has to pose for the camera. I just love my cute little family.

LOOK WHO'S 2!!!

I can't beleive my baby is 2. Daison keeps telling me that he is not a baby anymore, but I just can't accept that yet. He is my last one so I baby him a lot more than I should.
He was so good all day long. He got tons of Toy Story toys. We gave him the remote control car from the movie, it is pretty cute. Braiden keeps taking it away from Cameron, I just love how when a little boy gets toys the older kids won't let them play with them at all.
My brother's family gave him the slinky dog from Toy Story. It is the cuteset thing I have ever seen. Gavin is the one who keeps playing with it. I think it is because there is a slinky in the middle and he really wants one of those. We didn't get a good picture of him blowing out his candles, because my camera sucks! I'm so mad. I need to invest in one of those before the holidays start. Hopefully, I can get a good picture at my In-laws house on Monday night.
