Dear blogging world,
In case you haven't yet realized I fail miserably at updating my blog. When I finally do I have so many pictures and so many things to say my posts come out as massive quick updates with a bagillion pictures. My apologize but here I go once again. I officially only have 2 more weeks out here in the lovely NYC before I head back to the papers, the tests, and the overall amazingness that is BYU.

So as promised here goes my massive picture update.

1. I FINALLY got to spend a birthday with my BFF Cortney (and who would have thought that it would be all the way out in NYC) For some reason July 2 is always when her family decides to take there vacations so I have never actually gotten to celebrate one with her. Crazy huh? Well we went to the beach and got all dressed up and went out to dinner! SO FUN!

2. Saw the 4th of July fire works on the Hudson. OK can I just say that they were AMAZING!!!


3. Caroline FINALLY came to visit me for 2 whole weeks of adventure! It was amazing and of course we did TONS of touristy things like

grand central


the wax museum

SHOPPING

Cake boss :)



Canal street and littly Italy

And the Wicked Lottery which we won FRONT ROW TICKETS to!!! So so so amazing!
and yes this is of our seats and yes this is the orchestra pit!


4. and many many memorable days with my kids at the beach :) and other fun stuff but mostly the beach




And lastly a quick shout out to Sis Saunders (one of the two people who read my blog, the other my mother). I promised an update and here it is :)
and here is a little treat for you from the good ole days :)


pretty sure Cort and I are 16 here! LOVE IT!

massive update

i haven't blogged in like a month and I am just going to get it all done in one big post so here goes...

A few weeks ago I FINALLY went home! After an extremely long flight I finally got into AZ super late Saturday night. I spent the week in AZ hanging with my family I HAD to have a cafe rio salad when I was home.  While we were there Caroline put Brigdon on her shoulders :) Next thing we knew he started eating her hair :)

After Mesa I drove to Provo with Dana and Trent for Katies wedding! I didn't realize how much I missed that place until I went back :) Gotta love BYU! One day while Dana was at work Trent and I went thrift shopping and found some real treasures
p.s. While I was in AZ I bought skiis, poles, ski boots, a skirt, and a microscope. all for get this... $30! AMAZING HUH!!!!!!

Later I went to Katies wedding which was beautfiul! Seeing her family was amazing and EVERYONE thought Trent was older than me AND my boyfriend. GROSS!
After we visited Aspen Grove (pretty sure that Aspen Grove is the happiest place on earth) Trent And I penny surfed down Provo Canyon while Dana drove :)
Back in New York
I visited the Trade Towers


Discovered that Little Italy was the greatest place in all of New York City
Went to some parties with my favorite girls
And summer FINALLY started!!!!! Now we are spending every single day at the beach club :)






PS pretty sure I have the CUTEST nephew in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!

cake boss! :)

This weekend I finally got to see Cake Boss! Most. Amazing. Trip. Ever. We had to wait an hour an a half before we finally got to go inside but it was totally worth it. It is much smaller than I thought it would be but the food was way more amazing then I thought to! It was extremely crowded but they were pretty fast at getting you your food. I had the most AMAZING canoli and red velvet cupcake.

best. sunday. ever.

This last Sunday was pretty much the best Sunday I have experienced in my mere 21 years of living. After going to church at the manhattan singles ward we had ourselves a little picnic in central park :) it was BEAUTIFUL! the weather was gorgeous! (around 65 and yes that is amazing for around here) After lunch us 7 girls laid around on a blanket and people watched for awhile. There are some rather interesting characters in New York including (but not limited to...) the drunk women dancing around a little to sexy, the man who couldn't seem to stop staring at us for about 30 minutes, the young girl who's dress was so short it shouldn't have been legal, and the man walking the dog wearing what looked like something straight out of vogue magazine. Gotta love NYC :)
Markel and I walking to the park
 Markel and I at the park (yes there were 5 other girls there but I don't have pictures with all of us in them haha)
 The BEAUTIFUL park :)
After church got out while we were waiting for the other girls to change Krista and I ventured outside. Yes she is in the pic. But she is hard to find haha
 Now for a little randomness...
The weather is finally getting to the point where it's bearable to go outside and play at the park! I have taken my kids to this amazing park called Harbor Island 6 out of the last 6 days I have had them. Yes. The park is that cool. Its RIGHT on the beach so after we play on the play ground we can feed the ducks and look at jellyfish. Yup that's right. Jellyfish. They are creepy and orange and SOO much fun to go out on the docks to look at.
Us nannies like to stick together at the parks. This is a pic of Krista and Markel having a little to much fun. Notice how their kids are no where in sight. Yeah they climbed it for no reason. LOVE IT!
