Thanksgiving!

Post without pictures.
Well we had a great Thanksgiving. My parents flew up here and spent the whole week with us. It was so nice to see family. Well I didn't take any pictures of Thanksgiving. I did take pictures of the statue of liberty again. I know that I will be visiting her many times because when we get visitors that is the first thing they want to see. I took pictures of my parents in front of Miss Liberty and at Ground Zero. It was great having them here! Love you mom and Dad very much. Thankyou for coming.

Who remembers the movie BIG!





For all those who remember the movie BIG this is the piano that he (Tom Hanks) jumped and played on. It is located in one of the biggest toy stores in the world called FAO Swartz. We also got a chance to go to the New York Public library. It was the biggest and prettiest library I have ever seen in my life. They also had a hallway that was dedicated to the history of the New York Yankees. It was really cool, I was able to take some pictures of the hallway whitch features Mickey Mantle and his teamates. The day flew by so fast for us before we knew it, it was night. I took one last picture of Time Square before we got on the subway.

Carriage Ride Through Central Park



We took a carriage ride through central park. It was really neat because during the ride they would show you where movie scenes were filmed and what film they will be shooting next.
This weekend they had a Fall Festival in Central Park. It was so crowded, there was tons of different things to do like pumpkin carving, face painting, pumpkin bowling, and pumpkin painting. We only stayed about 2 hours because we wanted to do other things. Matt, Jace and I walked around and looked at all the changes fall has brought to Central Park. The trees are absolutley gorgeous! Here are a few pictures of some of the colorful trees.

DON'T FALL

SINCE JACE ENJOYED ICE SKATING SO MUCH WE DECIDED TO GOT TO AN ICE RINK IN BROOKLYN. MATT HAD NEVER ICE SKATED BEFORE SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO GO AND TEACH HIM. HE HAD A HARD TIME THE FIRST TWO TIMES AROUND, BUT OF COURSE HE IS A NATURAL ATHLETE AND PICKED IT UP THE FIRST 20 MINS. HE DID FALL ONCE BUT HE WOULDN'T LET ME TAKE THAT PICTURE SO I HAVE NO EVIDENCE. LOL

MATTS FIRST TIME ICE SKATING




Wednesday, October 15, 2008

We went skating at the rink at rockafellar center. It was so much fun! Jace had a hard time at first but by the end of it all he got the hang of it. I was impressed because when hes not good at something he rather just give up and leave but not this time he wanted to practice until he got it. He had so much fun going around and around the skating rink.




Here is a picture of the star they put on top of the rockafellar xmas tree every year. If you can't read the card on the bottom you should beable to click on the images to enlarge it. I also put up a picture of Radio City



TOP OF THE ROCK

On Monday Jace didn't have school and I had off from work. We waited till Matt got out of school than took the subway to Manhattan. We went to Rockafellar center and went to the top to take pictures. It was beautiful from the top. We got to see the whole city. I took pictures of Central Park but the trees didn't change colors as much as I thought they would at this time of year. Well here are some pictures from the top. For people that haven't been to New York, the tall pointed building in these pictures is the Empire State Building.I also took a picture of one of the Cathedral they have here in the City. It is so Amazing to see the structures of all the buildings they have in this Big Apple. It was a Foggy day sorry the pics aren'y very clear

UPDATING WITH NO PICS

This week we haven't done much of anything. Matt and I both have been very busy with school and work. Matt has a Mid term coming up and is very stressed out! He gets himself worked up for every test, but he always gets an A. It drives me insane. As for me Work has been crazy. Its so stressful because i do Mri, Cat scan , and x-rays all by myself. So basically i run the whole department because they don't have any other technologist. By the end of the day I want to run out of there. Oh Yea did i mention that it takes me almost 2 hrs to get home. The Traffic is so bad here! I use to complain about Las Vegas and Phoenix Traffic but now i know truly know what bad Traffic is. New York people all drive crazy. They Honk for everything!!! They actually have sign that say NO HONKING $300 FINE. Its crazy. Well hopefully this weekend I will have stuff to post.

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you are playing and I will come to your blog and leave one about you.

Apartments in New York are different from what i am use to. They are buildings built from the 1900's to 1960's. They look old on the outside but are renovated beautiful on the inside. These pictures are just a few that are in our neighborhood.


Today our morning started off with lots of rain, so we decided to go shopping and stay indoors. After the rain stopped they had a huge street fair. They closed off 3rd Avenue and had all types of different tables and booth. You can find things like handbags, sunglasses, clothes, toys, food, rides ect...... it was alot of fun. Jace is standing by one of the many different types of restraunts they have here in ny. The food is amazing here.

Shea Stadium is located in Queens,This is a picture of Manhattan from the top of the stadium. It was really beautiful to watch the sunset as the game started. It is getting cold here so we needed a warm sweater. The weather is quite different from AZ at this time of year.

We went to our very first Mets Game last night! It was alot of fun. Jace is being a dork and has a towel wrapped around his head. It was Towel Rally time last night and the first 25,000 in the stadium were given these towels. Of course we had to go early!

















This is a picture of the Mets and Cubs playing. Unfortunately the Mets lost, but it was fun anyways.

They are building a new stadium so Shea Stadium will no longer be the Mets Stadium anymore. The New stadium will be called Citi Field, this will open in 2009.

Here's a picture of time square. It is so busy there and there are so many people. I thought I would be use to it because I lived in Las Vegas for 4 yrs, but there's no comparison. It feels like two different worlds.
Sorry my blog is all over the place. I just haven't figured this whole thing out. Usually I don't have time to sit down and do things like this, but this time i have a schedule that allows me to have time to myself and be able to get things done before Matt and Jace get home. Well, we had one last camping trip before we left. In these pictures my brother Ryan, Nephews Anthony 10 and Jalen 9, and my son Jace are all hanging out at Black River.
The boys are trying to figure out a way back to the side of the river. The water started to run down faster when they crossed over so nobody wanted to go. Ryan was calling them sissies and so Jace got mad and tried but couldn't get enough courage to walk. So eventually i had to walk over and carry them across. Ryan and Matt won't let that drop, they tease them when ever they can.

While the boys were hanging out my brother and i went and fished. It was fun but my brother always insisted to bait the hook for me. AHH what a thoughtful brother.
