~January~

Well, January is over and here are some pictures of a few things we did!

Blake and Jon rode with us to Tyson Baca's wedding in greer. Here is a picture of ben and I at the wedding!

Ben Decided to tear the old fire place out of the Den..This is the damage ;) I helped a little, it was fun. I can't wait until it's finished. Ben is putting a wall up over the fireplace and one other wall to add insulation to the room. Im not sure what well use it for when hes done, but I'm excited for it to be finished!

Ben Had a birthday! Happy Birthday Honey! Well, I got him a portable dvd player b/c he works on the train and there is alot of down time. It seems to have been a good buy so far!
I Watch my niece a nephew-Tristen and Calli half day b/c I only wk part time and my sister went back to wk full time to cover for a girl on maternity leave. Since I'm pregnant I like to walk so...I take them with me. The next one is just a cute picture of Calli!

So many people have been asking me to put pictures of my baby bump up...This is probably one of two pictures I have of my belly my whole pregnancy! These pictures are all at D'coda Raban's baby shower. We're due about six weeks apart. The next is a picture of Randi and I.. and the last one is a picture of some of my closest friends. I think we've been friends since we were in diapers just about! Ashley Norton, Kacey Hamblin, D'coda Raban, Coda's Lovely Mom, Kyla Booth, Me, and Randi Norton. It was so much fun to have everyone together. I don't see much of them since I live in SJ now!

~NEW YORK~

This is at Rockafeller Center. The funniest part was this guy that went into it with us. He looked at us like we were so ridiculous! This picture is of us on a ferry we took from Staten Island so that we could see the Statue of Liberty. Shes behind us if you look close.

This one is a picture of us on new years eve day. we were headed to Yankee Stadium and then to time Square for New Years Eve! And this is how we slept O SO MUCH FUN!

Us in Central Park! Some random place I cant remember the name I just thought it was really pretty so we took a picture there.

This on is at the Modern Art Museum they had huge hello Kitty statues ;) and Then the one with our rings from TIFFANY'S of course!

Trinity Church was so amazing,There is a cemetery there and all the headstones were so old it was way cool to see.
This is all the luggage Janell and I had to lug around from aiport to shuttle to train to subway and then a short walk to the apartment WOW!

This is on the train that took us to Jamaica ;) we thought it was pretty funny it was just the name of the train station! Then of course the Statue of Liberty!

Here was on the way to New York, we got stuck in chicago and had to stay the night. Lucky for us my brother in law knew a girl there and she picked us up and we stayed at her house and caught a flight early the next morning!

We went to the Yankee Stadium because they are tearing it down, the new one is already built across the street. Ben was wishing he got to see it so i promised him id bring him back something i stole from there so I chipped off a little piece of the wall haha! it was the best i could do!

This is a painting in central park under one of the bridges and Janell made me take a picture by it cause im pregnant too!












These next pictures are all taken while we were walking around Central Park!

This was our HOT DOG ON THE STREET, we had to buy one from a hot dog stand...you cant go to New York and not eat one!

Christmas and New Years

Well, Sorry but there wont be any pictures with this post. Our computer crashed so i cant upload any of them. Christmas was a blast. Ben's Brother Jon and his family came up and also Ben's sister Andrea and her family. We had so much fun. I made my first turkey ever for Christmas dinner and it was so YUMMY! I was so scared to make it, so im really happy it turned out well. We had so much other good food the entire weekend. Christmas morning was alot of fun with all the kids there. Everyone left on Sunday and I did too. I headed to the valley with Janell to Fly out monday to New York. I bawled my eyes out when I left Ben :( Im such a Baby! We got on a flight monday morning and were supposed to connect to another flight in chicago. Well, since we were flying standby we ended up not getting on any of the flights that day so we were stuck in chicago for the night. Bens Brother Sterling happened to know a girl there who came and picked us up and we satyed at her house and caught a flight early Tuesday morning. By the time we got to brooklynn it was about 1 PM. We were so glad to finally be there. This would be way too long if I wrote about everything we did, but we got to see lots of sights like the statue of liberty, ground zero, grand Central station, staten Island, Central Park, China Town , Rockafeller center, Time Square, etc.... we were there until friday morning at about 3 am. we took a cab back to the airport and caught a 6 am flight that took us to chicago and lucky for us we connected on the next flight at 845 and were back in phoenix by noon. Then i got in the car and drove back to SJ. Finally getting home by about 4:30 pm. I was so so happy to be home. I had a cold the entire trip and by the time i got home it was so much worse. And I got homesick so quick, being sick and pregnant on top of that left me quite emotional lol! SO ANNOYING! All in all it was a cool experience! Now Christmas and New Years are over and its back to the grind. Im actually glad! Being so far from home made me realize how truly happy I am. I have a wonderful hubby that I love so much and is so good to me, and I get to live in SJ and I love it here. Im so lucky to have such a good life. And on top of that we will be blessed with a baby girl in about three months...WOW I CAN'T WAIT!
