Utah spring break!

Easter at Nana's house. Macy had such a good time with her cousins. Slept over with Kinsey three times. I love the time we all spend together (even if I do get on my political rampages) I know my family still loves me!



I don't think I ever eat so much as when I'm in Utah. All the good food!! Blue Lemon is now one of my favorites. Thanks Michelle for spending so much of your week with me I had so much fun shopping, shopping and shopping!



This was such a gorgeous day I just had to go visit Poppy's grave. What a beautiful sight this is. I just love this view from Bountiful Boulevard and to the right is the Temple! So peaceful.







Nothing like a three hour layover in Detroit!! thank goodness that airport is a lot of fun. lighted hall ways, fountains, trams, shops....we had no trouble finding things to do!
But we were excited to get home and see dad!

My sister

My sister is the best, spending hours with Macy, singing, dancing, making cookies, making crafts and giving her plenty of gifts, not that she needs them...we had a blast in Hoboken NJ and even more fun in NY see posts below.....

New York, New York (and Atlantic City)

We were so excited to have my sister come visit us. Its one of the few times that I really go-go-go and do-do-do and I love every minute. This is in front of the cutest candy stores in one of the best malls ever in Atlantic City, needless to say we spent plenty of time and money in there......

below: Macy having a blast in the waves, collecting lots of sea shells and shoving them in my purse we even found sea glass. What a gorgeous, gorgeous day!!




MaKe wAy FoR DuCk cROsSinG!! Here we are in Smithville, one of my favorite spots to visit in NJ. They have the cutest stores from country decor, jewelry, chocolate, ice cream, fudge, and everything and anything to do with the BEACH!!!



Out to eat at Taos, very yummy! other cuisine consisted of: steak, street fair empanadas, smoothies, pizza and that's about it, who has time to eat when there's so much shopping to do!


Probably the best part of the weekend....... Wicked, what an amazing show. Anyone that has seen it, I need not say more.....but I will, WOW, I did not get the "theatrical genes" from my fathers side of the family like my sister (who is an amazing singer/actress) but the show blew me away, I also had no idea it was a love story, who would have thought! worth every penny!! and I have to point out that I think my sister secretly wore green because it matched all the billboards and she looked great in all the pictures, lol!!


Canal street......what more is there to say? except... its so crazy and fun I love it!








New York City from the top of the NBC building. How amazing is this veiw? it was so close to dusk, well okay it was dusk but it wasn't getting dark, so we waited..waited and waited an hour and a half to see the empire state building light up and I wasn't dissapointed when it was red, white and blue for memorial day. We didn't wait until it was too dark because we still had to walk blocks to port authority (bus station) get back to Jersey and we were a little hungry, so we stopped by a fun little place by time square and had a salad. I love New York and the energy, excitement and the feeling you get being "in-it-all" all of the time. There's no escaping adventure when you're in the city.

My next blog will defintiley be a "shout out" to my sis for being so awesome and spending sooooo much time with us, unfortunatley in the car and one-on-one time with Macy. You are the BEST, we love you!!

March wrap up!

Looks like the leprechaun's made it again. I wonder why every year they make such a mess, hmmmmmm.... isn't it mom who has to clean it up! but for some reason Macy really looks forward to St Patrick's day every year. Maybe next year they'll try and be a little cleaner. Too bad I can't blame Macy's messy room on the leprechauns too.


Every year Valley Hospital host a carnival for all the sick children and their families. Lilly's mom works there so we get invited to a few things. Lilly's been a great friend to Macy, she has made so many new friends since we have moved. That's one thing she'll never have a problem with, making friends. She loves to talk and has tons of energy.


Macy and dad hard at work making their Easter eggs. I must point out Bob's great handy work with the outdoor table. What great treasures you can find on "Craigs list" for a third of the price. Well, maybe not treasures but you sure can find some great deals.
Macy on her egg hunt, finding all the eggs the Easter bunny left. We were pretty boring this year, its been cold and rainy. We can't wait for it to be warm!

Jumping for Joy!

Yea!! Springtime is in the air. It got up to 67 degrees today and we enjoyed every minute. Windows open, bikes out, kids playing, sunscreen scents and grills hot!! Oh, I can't wait for spring and its just around the corner. Happy Spring!
