We're Heere!

I can now say that I drove all the way to New York by myself! We left early Sunday morning from Colorado and got to New York 10pm eastern time. So really really good time! And that was with hitting horrible rain, sleet and snow in Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The girls have been having a lot of fun playing (and fighting) with their cousins. We got up 4 in the morning to catch a train to the thanksgiving day parade and freeze our butts off to see my cousin march in the parade. The wait for the parade to start sucked because all the kids were whining and obviously cold but as soon as we started seeing things their faces were too cute for words. They were very excited and animated. My cousin Ariel was at the end of her row and like four feet from where we were standing. It was awesome!! First time ever Copiague High School band in the Macy's day parade. Though on the broadcast they said it like Copag. Oh well! We had a great time and no I probably would never bring them again. I'm getting way too old for this!

Our Very Long Trip to New York!!

Hello all! We left Utah on Friday the 21st and made really good time. We got to Colorado in the afternoon and spent a couple of days there with my aunt Shelly, uncle Frank and young cousins Terren and Jayden. We got to take the kids to the park and saw Terren's play "Wagon Wheels West" twice!! He was very cute in it and the girls have been singing the soundtrack to it since!

As you can see, there was the perfect weather and lots of kids who wanted to ride the death traps! Just kidding, it was great because my cousins are really more like the girls' cousins since they're closer in age. Well on to NY we go!!
