"Mom, I think I'm in love."

Danny: "Mom, I think me and Erika are in love"

Me: "Oh really? What does it mean to be in love?"

Danny: "It just means that you care about each other and you like to do the same things."

I took these pictures on 80's day. I know Danny's outfit is a little lame. I really wanted to have him wear a cutoff neon shirt with cutoff jean shorts but it was a really cold day. And I don't really think the other kids in his class would appreciate it like I would :) Probably a good thing because only one other kid in his class dressed up.

T ball

We just finished a great season of tball! This is the first for Sam.

Sam is such a funny kid. He wasn't very focused on playing the game. He was more focused on playing with his friends.

Or bugging his friends.

I love these boys.

Danny took the game a little more seriously.

He is such a happy boy. I love it. He didn't go outfield half the time and didn't care if he hit the ball or not. He just wanted the treats and a trophy.

Danny hit the ball so well. He is such a great baseball player. He works so hard.

Gateway

We spent the day at Gateway the other day and it was such a great day.

We saw a movie at Clarke Planetarium.

Watching Danny play through the fountains after buying books at Barnes and Noble.

She loves her Dad.

The boys love to hug Sarah. Also Danny wanted to get a picture of us :)

Our first science fair!

I feel like I am back in school again with Danny being in Kindergarten. I can't believe how much work it is but I love it. It is so much fun. I have been volunteering twice a week and it is so much fun being in his class and working with the kids. It makes me miss teaching preschool just a tiny bit.

So Danny had a science project and I was dreading it because I hate science. Luckily we had just gotten Danny a rocket for his birthday so we used that.

We took his rocket to a large area with nothing around. All of the neighbor kids wanted to come so they dragged their parents to follow us. We shot it up in the air and Sarah has been making loud rocket noises ever since.

We asked what will shoot higher, the small or large rocket. Danny's hypothesis was right, it was the smaller rocket. Way to go Danny! Thanks for coming, Grandma!

New York New York!!

After 3 1/2 years, Brian and I made it back to New York. It honestly seemed like it had been 10 years. I love New York. Even though it was really cold and rainy, we had the best time.

Carriage ride in Central Park. So this 2nd picture of the horse was taken by our driver. I guess he would be called a driver? Coachmen maybe:) ANYWAY he took 3 pictures of the horses head and told us to stand up in the carriage. I think he thought he was a great photographer.

Hugh Jackman on Broadway

Wow he is talented. Such a great dancer, singer, hip thruster, comedian, and booty shaker. I actually thought he was gay half way through but Brian insisted that he was just a good actor. Such a fun show. I really like him.

We actually saw him come out of the buliding after we met up with my friend for dinner. What a pleasent surprise.

Dinner with friends
We actually spent 2 of our nights with some friends so we didn't get to see as many broadways as I wanted but that's ok because it gives us a reason to go back! Oh who am I kidding. I will always have a reason to go back just to go shopping.

My friend Rebecca, from high school who I haven't seen for like 5 years. It was so good to see her.


Oh Danny. Thanks to you, now I have to get my jumping pictures every trip I go on. He started these jumping shots in Disneyland and now I have to do it on every trip I go on. We went to THE BEST mexican restaurant with our friends Danny and Mara. The 3 of them kept going on and on about these marshmallow shakes that are to die for and I was the only one who hadn't tried one so we decided to go and eat some more.


Oh yes they were unbelievable. They actually toast marshmallows and make a shake with them. Yummmm! I don't know why we were posing with batman... Thank you Danny and Mara for a great night.

Shopping

Yayyyyy! So Brian worked for half of the day, visiting people so I ventured out and shopped all up and down 5th avenue. It was kind of fun wandering around and finding little restaurants and shops. Thanks to my cousin Emilee who helped me find some of them. The shopping on 5th avenue was ok but the best shopping was in Soho. I loved it.

The rumble of the subway
(can anyone name that song?)

More eating. Wow I ate SO MUCH on this trip.

Time Square

I love that Brian did a jumping picture. He even did it twice! I love you Brian! Thank you for a wonderful time!
