BOSTON, NIAGRA FALLS, NEW YORK Oh my!

Ok, what can I say about Boston? I absolutley loved every minute of it. It is so charming, has so much history, and Cody and I spent a whole week there kidless. Johny and Corinne were so nice to let us bunk up with them for a couple of days. We walked the Freedom Trail where it takes you to Paul Revere's house, Old Iron Sides (The oldest boat in America's History to still be in working condition), old grave sites where people like Thomas Jefferson were buried etc. That evening we went to a Patriots game. That was the first NFL game Cody and I had ever been to. The stadium was amazing. The next day we saw Boston Harbor by taking a Lobster lunch cruise. There was food, music and fun! Cody said they didn't dance at dances at his Highschool, but I showed him a thing or two. He's pretty good, I am impressed. This was one of the highlights of the trip. After, we went to the New England Aquarium (which was amazing) and to an IMAX 3D shark attack movie. Pretty scary! On Saturday, we went to Concord, where the Revolutionary war started. I'd have to say this was my favorite history site. Later we went shopping down some fancy street with all the richie rich stores, and over to Boston Gardens. It was beautiful there. Then, Sunday we decided to rent a car and drive up to Niagra Falls. We met Abby, Todd and her kids up there too. We took a boat ride right up to the falls. It was so amazing and the only other word I can use to describe it is MAJESTIC! If you ever go, make sure you walk across the border to the Canadian side, it is much better over there. That evening Cody and I drove down to Palmayra and stayed the night there. The next morning we toured all the church sites. The Hill Cumorah, Joseph Smiths Farm, The Sacred Grove, The store where the Book Of Mormon was printed, and Whitmer's Farm where the church was organized. It was so awesome to be there and see everything come alive. Then, we were off to Ithica to stay with Abby and Todd for a night. We stayed up so late talking and having a good ole' time. It was hard to get up the next morning. Thanks Abby and Todd, we had a great time! We left somewhat early the next morning and drove to Cooperstown to go see the Baseball Hall of Fame. We wore our Red Sox's shirts that day to be prepared to go to a game, but it took us an hour longer then we thought to get back to Boston, and when we got to the Ballpark, the parking was horrible, the game had already started and we still didn't have tickets, so we bagged it and decided next time we go to Boston, that will be first on our list! OK, now that I have written a novel, THANK YOU so much to my inlaws and our neighbors for watching our kids, and thanks to the Wudels and the Runyans for letting us stay with them. We had the time of our lives!!

Crew's second day of Preschool

I was so sad to be out of town when Crew went to his first day of Preschool, but thanks to my Mother-n-law Christie, and Brooke Eagleston, he made it there. He loves it, and told me all about it, and we did end up getting a "2nd day of Preschool" picture!

Let the good times roll!

Nothing beats a good Broadway show. Thanks for the girls night out!

I thought this was such a cute pic of the cousins.

Fun Pics!

So Independant

My little girl decided she was all grown up and ready for her new bed. I was not going to put her in her new bed til she was at least 2.5, because there was no need, but she woke up one night not very happy at all, so I told her she could sleep in her new bed. She did, and has ever since. We put Crew in a big bed when he turned two, just so he could get use to it before Jersi arrived. I remember he looked so little in it. Jersi is only 22 months old, but she has always been so independant and ready for things before I am ready for her to be. Oh well... I kind of like that in a girl.

So you think you can dance...

I was very pleased with the results show tonight. I'm pulling for Sabra the most, but I wouldn't mind if Neil won either. Go Sabra go!

My little bro...a graduate!

Congrats CLAYT!

Clayton just recently graduated from BYU Idaho. What an accomplishment! And yes, I sent up that cheesy little sash. When I saw it at the store I thought, "Who in the world buys this stuff?" and then I did because I thought it was so funny. Thanks for being a good sport Clayt. We wish we could have been there.
