New York

My dearest mother-in-law wanted to take all of her daughter-in-laws to NY with her this year. GIRLS TRIP! I didn't hesitate for one second to take her up on it! This trip was epic, one I will never forget. Our days were jam packed with sight seeing, broadway watching, eating, subway riding, laughter and memories. I love these women so much!

 Our hotel was in Times Square so we ended up walking through there quite a bit. I was overwhelmed by the shear magnitude of it all. It was breathtaking, out of control, loud and bright. I LOVED it!

 I took this picture for Hendrix because I knew he would love it. He told Jordan, "tell mama to buy it!." LOL! We had lot's of fun in the Disney store, it was amazing!

 These are the lanterns from Tangled. They were so awesome!

 Mmmmm.... the Hershey's factory!

 

 That is the NY temple behind us. It's amazing that there is a temple in the middle of the crazy city.

 

 The 9/11 memorial was defenitely an emotional day for all of us. You can feel how sacred those grounds are, it was actually quite the spiritual experience. I will never forget this day.

 This tree was the only thing to survive the attack. It was buried under large amounts of debri and nursed back to health. Really cool!

 They put white roses in the persons name for their birthday. I started crying when I saw this. So sad.

 

 The church across the street from the twin towers was a sancuary for tired firemen and somehow survived being damaged from the impact.

 Meghan's birthday dinner. We had THE BEST manacotti I have EVER had! SOOOO good!

 I ran into these two foxes while wandering through Times Square.

 Brooke and her handy, dandy map! She pretty much led us through the city/subway system and never failed us! I would have been competely lost with out her and that beloved map.

 Central Park is A M A Z I N G ! I wish we could have spent an entire day there.

 Toy store fun!

 

 Our last night in NY was spent with Jordan's aunt and uncle. They have an amzing apartment in Manhatten with the most incredible views of the city. We went up on the roof and took these glorious pictures. I can't believe they get to wake up to this beautiful city every day.

Hogle Zoo with Meghan

We went to the zoo a couple of times this summer since we bought a season pass. Hendrix isn't really interested in the animals but Remmi is obsessed with them! I think she could be at the zoo all day! We invited Meghan, Mathew and Beckett to come with us this time. They had just opened the water park and the kiddos loved it!

Baby #3/Photo Shoot with Taisley

We found out we were pregnant sometime in July (can't remember the exact date). We were VERY surprised but also really happy. Since it took so long to get Hendrix AND (especially) Remmi here, we thought we'd have to go through more fertility treatments to get another baby here. NOT THE CASE this time around. We are also happy to announce that baby #3 is a GIRL! We found out on October 22nd, 2013. Our little family will finally be complete. We are due around March 29th 2014.

I had Taisley take some pictures of the kiddos holding up a sign, announcing that we were pregnant. They turned out SO cute!

July 4th 2013

This was our first year living in Riverton for the 4th of July. They have lot's of fun things to do during July! We started the morning off with a pancake breakfast in Riverton Park then walked over to the carnival they had set up. Hendrix had SO much fun on the dinky little rides. Why do kids love carnivals so much? LOL. Remmi did not enjoy the heat/loud noises from all of the rollar coasters.
