NYC Day 2 and Rhode Island/Boston Day 3

Day 2 in New York City was spent going down to lower Manhattan to see the Staten Island Ferry.


We also took the Liberty Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. It was pretty amazing.


Here is the New York skyline as we left to head to the Statue of Liberty.


This was on the wall by the fire department down by groud zero. It listed all the lives lost from the fire department.


This is the current construction at ground zero. There is still a lot of work to do.
Later that evening we saw our 2nd musical, Billy Elliott. Steve and I were pretty impressed with Mama Mia the night before so we went to a second show on our 2nd day in the city as well as having a very nice dinner at Ruth Chris' Steak House.



Day 3 we left New York and headed to Boston but made a stop in Newport, Rhode Island. We watched some crazy surfers in the ice cold water of Newport Bay.


We then took a hike to see many old mansions from the late 1800s.

Day One in NYC

Day 1 in NYC, and Steve was thrilled to be up at 5:00 to be at the Today show at 6:00.

Getting up early was worth it. We stood next to Lenny and made it on TV. It was a chilly 28 degrees that morning.


Here Steve and I are at the top of the Rock. (Rockefeller Center). The Empire State Building was in the back ground.


Here is the infamous Today Show Studio 1A. We also got to do the NBC expereince. It allowed us to see the Nightly News taping as well as the stage for Saturday Night Live.


This is the ice skaing at Rockefeller Center. Steve and I just did a little watching, but no skaking.


Here is the David Letterman Show we went to on our first day in New York City. Mary Tyler Moore was the guest.


This is trump tower. Since I am a reality tv show freak, we had to see this.


Trump Tower again.


Here is Time Square when we exited Mama Mia. For Steve and I, it was our first Broadway Musical, and we really enjoyed it.

A Sunday at Grammy and Poppy's

I love going to Grammy and Poppy's house because I always get to pet the horses next door. I was not scared of them a bit and thought it was quite amusing to see their poop on the ground.

The stinking CROUP!!!

Sorry its been a while since mommy added any new pictures, it is my fault. I had to catch this virus called croup. It has been pretty miserable. Here is a picture of me at the marathon wait at the urgent care Monday night. We waited for 2 1/2 hours to be seen by a doctor. The whole time I was having a hard time breathing. After the steroid shots and a breathing treatment, I didn't have to be admitted to the hospital, but was instead sent home. Thank goodness.

I am feeling much better here playing outside. Even though I have been "under the weather" I have been enjoying the nice warm weather. And yes, I still like taking sodas and water out of the fridge.

Yep, I am always all smiles when I am outside.

Here I am with mommy before church. I am sporting my new Easter outfit even though its not Easter yet. Mommy said I had to get some good out of it before I outgrow it. She is so silly.

I will hardly stand still for mommy to take a picture. That is why most of the pictures are blurry from me running away from her.

Many of my favorite words at this time are in reference to coke. My old "default" word for coke was "daddy" because he drinks so much of it, but now I can say coke very plainly along with "dew" for Mountain Dew. I do still like the water bottles too.

Spring is Here

This weekend may have been windy, but I still got out and enjoyed the warmer weather. First stop was the park. Now that I am almost 18 months old, I have pretty much mastered the kiddie area and will be on to the big boys area of the playground really soon.

Crawling through the tunnels gave me a little static electricity, but that made it even more fun.

I must say the slides have now taken over as my first choice at the park. The swings are for babies.

Of course with every slide down, I had to try and climb back up the slide too.

Here are the latest additions to BSB babies. Welcome Annika and Riley.

My latest favorite thing is driving the "car car." I have even had a couple melt downs when mommy and daddy have told me "no" after it was the fifth time that day to drive.

Valentine Treats

I just wanted to show off my new bulldozer. Dad and I picked this out this weekend using the money from Aunt Sherrill. Thanks Sherrill. That was a great Valentine's present. Now I have something to go with my dump truck.

Here mom is making me pose before church. Dad and I sure do hate these things.

Snow days and a Long Trip

Sorry its been a while since Mom put any pictures up. She claims she has been really busy. I am not so sure about that. Taking care of me while Daddy's been gone for 6 days has not been any work for her!

Here was my first outing in the snow when mommy was off from work. I didn't care much for the white stuff. Being off for 3 days gave mommy and I both a bit of cabin fever. One day we stayed in our jammies all day and made sugar cookies. The beaters were my favorite part.

Licking the beaters once again and trying to stick my hands right in the carrot cake mommy worked so hard on for her weekend with her BSB college friends.

While Daddy was in Phoenix, Mommy, Peepaw, Meemaw and I went to OKC to visit Gage and Blane. Here I am wearing Blane's shades.

Here I am at the Park by Gage and Blane's house. Peepaw and I were feeding the ducks. That was sure a treat.

Sorry for the loud video. It was that darn Oklahoma wind. It didn't bother me a bit though. Feeding the ducks was so much fun.

Then it was off to the playground after the ducks. I have become a master slider, and thanks to Gage I got to walk up the slide instead of the stairs. He helped me do that over and over.

I also had to get some swings in too. I still like that a bunch. Gage and I also posed in the pirate ship too.

After swinging we went over to the army tanker. Gage and I gave one quick smile for the camera. It was a blast. Then Gage thought he had to climb way out on the edge.


In this picture I am sitting on the 4 Wheeler I hope to win. Mommy bought 5 raffles from Blane's Mudcats team. I hope my odds are good to win this toy. Daddy and I would have many fun afternoons out in the fields at Poppy's house.
