You Can't Tell Me...


That this isn't the BEST school picture ever!! This is my niece Ashlyn, and these were taken on re-take day!!! My sister asked her, "What did it feel like when they took your picture?" She said, " Weird!" Too cute! Wish I had one as cool as this!! Luckily, they called the photographer, and she had another one on file! :)

Thanks for EVERYTHING!

I'm thankful we have a holiday, to reflect on everything we are thankful for. I'm definitely so grateful for my family, and good food! So of coarse Thanksgiving is going to be a good time! Every Thanksgiving, Aaron has to drink from this turkey. He says, "It's the Kings goblet!" Look at all that yumminess!!!

My cute cousins, Pam and Lucy!

Dad's Surprise!

It was my Dad's 60th so we decided to have a surprise party! Our family will remember it forever because it ended up being one of the funnest days with our whole family! This is him walking in, and looking at my mom, cause he was so confused!! She had to tell her first lie to get him to come!! It's okay mom! ;) We made him a cake out of jelly filled donuts because they are his fav! And of coarse, with sorbet ice cream! Can't you tell how excited we all were to eat it by the way we were crowded around it?? We proceeded to have a talent show! We all did things we haven't done, in years!! So FUNNY! Here is Andrew break dancing! Yup, still got it!!

Who said a prego lady can't break dance? Not us!!! Yup still got it!


I busted out my jump rope routine from 6th grade! OES jump team! Yup still got it! ( was so soar the next day!!)

Solace

So our favorite Jordan is home from his mission! In celebration, we went to Lake Powell. Our annual trip has become mandatory!

Here's the group on our hike up Forgotten Canyon to the Indian petroglyphs.



Just adding to my heritage!

Travis gets better and better at wake boarding each time we go out! It's been such a blast being able to do so!

I LOVE boat rides. I'm so relaxed and dazed!
Surfing it up!





I absolutely love Lake Powell. It has the best scenery, it's so peaceful, I leave all my stresses at home, no one had a cell phone, and my blood loves to boil! What a breath of fresh air! ( except for the house boat at the end of the trip! PHEW!)

Mallory, my inspiration! Girl Power! Welcome home Jordan! And what a fun fun trip! Of coarse there are always dramatic things that happen boating, but it sure doesn't stop from going every year!

I'll bet...

Apparently it's hunting season. Lately Travis has been sneaking up on me, in the most random places, and bugles at me, so loud and it scares me to death. Then I look and he's in camo, and I can't stop laughing! I'd be dead for sure if he was hunting me because I don't ever have any clue he is there!
Bet your husband doesn't do this!!

The City

Travis had to head back to NYC for work, and you know I wouldn't miss out on it!In my hand, I'm holding Whoopi cookies from Magnolia Bakery. I hadn't tasted them at this point, if I had a would have frosting all over my face and a bigger smile! They were Divine!
We saw the Broadway, In The Heights. It was AMAZING!

Didn't flip the picture, but it was raining and we were having a grand old time shopping still! Century 21 is the best place to shop!



Grey's Papaya hot dogs and pina coladas! So delich!



Chillin in Central Park!

On our way to Yankee stadium!


This was the high light of the trip!!
It's always been a dream of mine, as well as everyone in my family to watch a game in Yankee stadium! I don't care what team you like, Yankee stadium is the absolute best! The vibe and the fans are the best!

I love NY but it's always nice to come home to the mountains! And get back to boating!!

Bring on Summer!

We have some very exciting news! Travis and I just bought a boat! We are so excited and there has been so much anticipation, so yesterday was our first real day, where we actually wake boarded. We were out there all day and couldn't get enough of it!
We also got a new ride! I love my wake board!

Trav with his. We were also trying to think of a good name for our boat, we'll let you know when we find one!

Helmets are a must for this fearless hunk of mine! Boating is my all time favorite thing and I feel so lucky that we really have one now! We are pretty much planning to go out everyday after work if the weather is good, so let us know if you want to come! It will be a party!! Now it feels like summer!

Had to take breaks for dance moves! Nice!

Rock stars performed during our fireworks! More breaks for dance moves!
