Turning 28--New Yorker Style

Adlee was a nervous eater before I left for the city that never sleeps.

I was lucky enough to be able to go to NYC with my mom and 2 sisters over my Birthday. We ruled Manhattan...and had a blast. There was a lot to see and do while we were there.

Times Square

Canal Street shopping was just down the street from our hotel. We constantly got invited down in creepy underground shops to look at Chanel bags at a steep discount. It wasn't creepy AT ALL.

Manhattan Temple

Central Park

Central Park in the Fall....beautiful.

See?

Isaac and I went to NYC in 2004 and fell in love while rowing around central park. It was just as fun with the girls....but made me miss the Mr.

Times Square a second time

Mmmmm. Shake Shack. For some reason a burger and fries taste better in the middle of a park in Manhattan..right before a rain storm and a broadway play.

West Side story, Front Row

Visiting ground zero

Lady Liberty

Conquering Brooklyn Bridge

I learned a lot of things on this trip:

Girls only trips are a must

I love and miss my family way to much

Chinatown doesn't stink nearly as much when the weather cools down

I tighten my seat belt after a plane ride...so the next person has to loosen it?

Ashlee would have made a killer New Yorker

Adlee does not miss me nearly as much as I miss her

And I need to go back soon!

Mexico 2010

Isaac's brother Nick and his wife Megan came with us down to Puerto Penasco, Mexico. We had an awesome time down at a really fun resort called Las Palomas. We spent 3 days lounging pool-side and enjoying the warm weather.

Adlee loved swimming all day.

My kind of family portrait.

Mommy and daughter go for a walk on the beach.

Nothing like watching the sun go down on the Sea of Cortez.

Adlee tried to run off with another little boy's tube.

Lunch meat makes me gag....

I tried to feed Adlee a lunchable and her reaction to the meat was pretty priceless:) She has her mamma's classic gag reflex and this may or may not be the first time my actions have resulted in Adlee throwing up on herself. I think it is hilarious....but watching it back makes me realize it may be more on the mean side......

summertime swimming

Can't blog from the water! Which is where we have been spending most of our time this summer trying to recover from the 110 degree heat!

She will even try to swim in a bowl!

cake smash

Adlee is now a walking, babbling.....1 YEAR OLD!!! She is like a little person with a BIG personality! She turned 1 and fun aunt Marci took some cake smash pictures. They turned out so cute. Adlee was being a little bit girly and refused to get to messy! She would stick her finger in the cake....show me.....and then she would lick it off. After awhile she wanted to be held and a meltdown ensued.

This is after the meltdown....she did not like being messy and her puffy sad eyes are letting me know she is not happy :)

March/April business

I wish I had a good excuse for the lack of posts...I have the pictures...but I am always lazy when it comes to putting them on the computer. Watching the Jazz blow a lead at the end of the game got me in the mood to post. I am sure there will be a lot of sad people in Utah if they lose....so this post will cheer them up. If they pull out the win....this post will still make them happy. Enjoy :)

Fun in the sun. Thanks Marci!
