New York

We cut our trip short so we could spend more time in New York. So we got to spend the night with Kristy and Bryson thanks so much! The next day we got a quick tour of New York. We saw Time Square at night when we got there, the 911 memorial super cool, Statue of Liberty from a distance, Central Station, Stock something :) ate a yummy burger from the shake shack, and got in a nice morning run at Central Park. It was fun to see my sis again even though it was only a few weeks. I miss her like crazy, so 3 weeks seems like eternity. Thank You Kristy and Bryson for being our tour guides and giving a place to lay our heads and all the good food. And in 1 month me and my Mom and Sisters are going back to New York for the real Tour of the city. BOOYA!

Cruise baby!

Can't believe this was already a month ago. I wish we were just going haha isn't that how vacations are. We were able to head out for a cruise for our 5 year anniversary a couple months early (when the price is right you gotta do it). It was a 4 night cruise to the Bahamas! So much fun, it was just the two of us. We were disappointed with the cruise line, the food was not all that good, the entertainment was alright, and there were no ice sculptures haha.

Our first stop was Freeport, from what I heard they had a hurricane go through there a few years ago and it kinda ran the town down. We just caught a taxi and found a beach to finally get some sun. Don't judge me in a bikini and I can't believe I actually just put that on the world wide web, but its the only picture together on the ocean that someone else took for us. There was a nice part of the beach but that was private for the hotel. I LOVE THE OCEAN!!!

Second Stop was Nassau, my favorite place of all I wish we could have stayed there for the 3 days. We went to the water park Atlantis all day long. It was so cool, and there private beach was amazing! Water was warm, waves were big absolutely perfect.And yes I chickened out on this slide, look at that thing. Almost verticle! So we got to the front of the line and I went and looked down the slide and couldn't do it. So I told Jeremy to go first and I walked back down the stairs. haha But there were a few slides where you went through the aquariums, so we saw lots of fish and sharks. Neat. I hope to go back there again soon.Day 3 was Norweigans private Island, not sure why you want your own island it was kinda boring. And by this day Jeremy thought he didn't need sunscreen and fried himself so he didn't want to play in the water anymore. The cool thing about this place was that there were no waves so we used our goggles and saw lots of fish. I got the picture of the tractor cause thats what my Dad uses and they were driving them all the way in the Bahamas!

We couldn't have done it without amazing family, so we would like to give a shout out to Katie, Vanessa, and Mom Jensen. They were our babysitters and we are so grateful for them. Its always nice to have a vacation and know your kids are in good hands. So thanks again ladies.

New Entry Way

Here is my newly decorated entryway. I wasn't so sure about the coat hanger in the main living room, but my friend talked me into it. And I love it!

Sweet New Ride!

Taylees new car

McKells new car

Every once in a while she shares

My parents gave McKell and Taylee this little car for Christmas. McKell was so excited she said "I really like this car" in a really excited voice. The cool thing about this car is you can either let them drive or there is a remote control so we can drive Taylee around. She thought it was pretty cool she almost feel asleep.

SNOW GLORIOUS SNOW!!

McKell loves the snow, and I think Taylee is following right behind. They could not wait to get out there Saturday after the snow storm. Now just gotta get some better gloves for Taylee so her hands don't get wet when she falls down all the time.

Christmas Meadows

My Brother and Sister-in-law planned an Awesome reunion. It was up in Christmas Meadows, Utah beautiful up there and we were not there long enough. We had a full day of snow mobiling, and no one got hurt Jeremy just flipped us off and my Dad rolled his but it was a success other than that no injury. We ate lots and lots, thanks Katie and played games got in the hot tub and stayed up way past my bed time. Hope we can keep doing this every year, its nice to see my Dad really enjoying himself with no work. Becky, Aaron and Family we missed you!

Can't believe Christmas is already past!

We had a great Christmas, we were able to head up to midway Saturday morning and spend it with Jeremy's family, we were all together. Not that our kids are old enough but it was nice that the tree and presents were all in the other room so we were able to get up and first thing go to church. Feel the spirit and remember Christ as the real reason for the season in our lives. Then we came home and opened presents. CHAOS!! that sums up the rest of the morning. We enjoyed our time seeing Abby, Jeff and Samantha until they passed on the flu to us that night. It was awful McKell and Taylee had it together it was so weird, McKell would throw up and would know within a minute Taylee was next. Crazy all through the night. Then the next day me and Jeremy ended up with a little bit more mild flu. Good Times! These out of staters can't handle Utah this exact same thing happened last year after my sister from Nebraska came.

The top pictures were all the documenting McKell got, she is amazing with the camera haha! And to my sister-in-laws we need to share pictures as usual. Thanks.
