Ok, so I've been holding out on posting the pictures we did of my niece because I wanted Tiff to pick the ones for her announcement 1st. She has done that so I feel ok about posting a few that you will not see on her very cute announcement. ENJOY!

Honestly could she get any more adorable? Happy 1 month birthday on Feb 13th!!!

Our New Niece!

Oakley Dawn

Is she BEAUTIFUL or what. Thanks goes out to Tiff and Shaw for giving us niece #2.

O tender moment. What a good dad to hold her hand through it all.

Mom of 4, Wow I admire you Tiff. You are a wonderful mom, keep it up!

Welcome to the fam, little Oakley we are so glad you are here safe and sound. O and did I mention that you are Gorgeous! We love you!

Christmas Time!

This will be our 4th Christmas Married. Wow how time flys when you're having fun! This weekend Dylan and I put up the Christmas tree. We decided to do a grown up tree and bought all new ornaments. The talking star trek ornaments will have to stay in the box this year!

Below a little blast from the past!

Dylans new Eyes!

Dylan got LASIK!!! This is right after his surgery!

He was told to come home and sleep, thats what he did. Take a look at the bug eyes he had to wear. ha ha

Now take a look at my man! What a HOTTIE!!!!

Last day in the Big Apple!

I waited all week to go to the MET and when we got there found out it was closed. I was so sad. O well I guess that just means we have to come back!

We then stopped in at the COOLEST Candy store ever. "Dylan's Candy Bar". They had candy in the floor, the walls and on the ceiling. They had evet candy you could ever want. It is a childs dream come true! We bought Dylan a 2lbs candy bar all because it had his name on it!! He hasn't eaten a bite of it yet.

We packed up and headed to the airport. This was an adventure to say the least. We waled to the subway and from there to the air train and from there to the airport shuttle and from there to the airport. Lets just say next time I'll go in the middle of the night and take a cab. Suit cases and stairs and tons of people are not my idea of a good time. We made it home safe and sound!

We love the Big Apple, what a fun trip!

New York day 5

Empire State Buliding, you could actually feel the building moving in the wind and there were so many people you could hardly see let alone walk anywhere.

A little shopping in time square, and lunch at Gray's Paya!
Central Park time!
We went to Strawberry Fields in Central Park. It was awesome, tons of chalk drawings on the ground and people playing Beatles music.

Day 4 in New York

Saturday morning we went to the Manhattan Temple. When you get off the subway you can't even tell it is the building on the corner. It is really hidden but beautiful. In the picture on the bottom right corner that is the subway stairs, and through the trees is where the Temple is. We took some family names and it was a good experience.

Steve took the day off work to show us around for the day. He took us to this AMAZING pizza place for lunch called GRIMALDI'S. We waited in line outside for about an hour and I was worried it wasn't going to be worth it. However it was and I mean it. I'd wait in that line again and again and again. They don't make pizza like that here in the West. If you ever go to New York this is a must do. Great food, fun experience and it's in Brooklyn. COOL!


This was the coolest door and bike. I had a tone of fun shooting it and then playing with it in photoshop.

The Brooklyn Bridge was so neat. We walked across it and took tons of pics here are a few of my faves.

Marry Poppins was Awesome!!!!! The seating was really tight, so caution . . . . if you're over 5'8 forget this theater you'll never fit.

After the play we went to a Jazz Club by Steve's house called "Cleopatra's Needle". We ate cheese cake, humus, and french fries (ramdom assortment of foods I know).
The music was really good and the whole time I kept saying how they trumpet player was really outstanding. I was so impressed by him. Come to find out it was Wynton Marsalis! He composed alot of the music for the PBS series "The War" and has a tone of albums out. If you have never heard his stuff get on itunes and check him out. Dyl and Steve drinking Root Beer on the left.

STEVE thanks for a awesome day we had such a great time. Also THANKS for letting us stay with you!
