New York Part II

Despite of the bad weather, we still had a great time!
I usually don't take pictures of "just buildings", but these were so neat.
I took this picture because, the World Trade Center was twice as big as this building. Wow!
All bundled up and ready to go!
This is Central Park, isn't is pretty?

I could not believe how BIG the movie billboards were.
M&M world
Hershey store
This is a little blurry, but it is Matt from the Today Show. He is coming outside.
Another shot of Central Park. I will have Part 3 in a few

days, and that will be the last of New York. I hope these have

been fun to see and if you have not yet been you will make it a

priority to get there!

Fun Times in New York

Okay, these are not in order and that really bugs me. This is our first night in NY. We were so excited to see GREASE. Diana and I both watched the T.V. show "Your the one that I want" and we voted for Max and Laura. They are the ones who played Danny and Sandy.
The show was great! We had awesome seats and lots of fun! This was the whole reason for the trip to NY. I love Broadway Shows. We wished we would have had time to see more.
This was my first picture coming from the airport. I was amazed at the city.SO much traffic!
This is Max and Laura, the ones who played Danny and Sandy. They came out after the show to sign autographs and take pictures with "the fans". Diana and I were right there. They were really nice.

This is our apartment. Just straight down from "Time Square". It was a great location. We got really lucky, thanks to Mercy. We just arrived and were ready to shower and get dressed up.
Our first day at lunch, going over the "Schedule" of events. Diana was teased about being our travel agent and keeping us on task. Check out her folder. Thanks D, you did a great job!
Of course we had to have a NY hat for out hat day.
Stacy was such a trooper, 6mnths pregnant and walking EVERYWHERE! Her pore feet at night were so swollen and she NEVER complained! I was amazed at her. We had so much fun shopping! Well I have lots more pictures to post so until next time.........

Happy Halloween

Here is cute Ellie dressed up like Sandy frome Grease. She had so much fun!
Taylor dressed up like Shar pey From High School Musical......
Three cute girls.............
The Porters came over again this year..We love them!
This is Gracie, really tired and dragging her bag home! (these are not in the right order)

Kelly and Gracie carving the pumpkins, Kelly's favorite part of Halloween!
I think he ended up carving about 10 pumkins....The neighbors had him do some for them. He is really good at this and LOVES it! Good job babe!

I guess I saved the best picture for last......Little Gracie as Raggedy Ann. Is she cute or what? Now what do I do with all the CANDY? We had so much left...Then the kids added what they got to the bowl. I really wanted to start a diet. (CRAP)

Back To Being A Mother

I just arrived LATE last night from the most AMAZING trip, with some amazing women(thanks girls). We had such a great time in New York. I have never shopped so much in my life. Today my feet and back hurt so...bad, but it was well worth it! I will be posting pictures all this week about our trip. If you have never been to New York, well you better start planning it, what an experience. The people, the food, the shopping, the traffic.Did I say traffic yet? I have NEVER in my life seen so much traffic. Well I don't want to say anymore until I post pictures, so look forward to seeing much more on New York with 4 crazy gals. I have to say thanks you to my sweet husband for being so great while I was away and making sure that I had a wonderful time. Thanks to my girls for missing me so..much and making me happy to get back to being a Mother.

For those of you who are wondering.........

I decided that I would blog about this, due to many phone calls made to other people asking about our home for sale. Yes, it is for sale. We have a few options at this time and just thought that we would put the house up and see what happens. We are not really in a hurry, except that we would like to decide which area by June because that is when we need to refinance. So as of right now, there is not much to tell.We are not really sure where and when, but when WE know more ourselves, we will be happy to tell everyone! So if you know anyone that wants a GREAT house, just send them our way. We are trying to sell it on our own first. Then if we HAVE to, we will get an agent. I am not looking forward to having to keep the house SPOTLESS all the time, because that seems impossible with kids and a husband.......Happy cleaning to me!
