New York City

In October, Kyle and I went to New York City  with Darren and Laurel.    I of course am horrible about taking pictures, but fortunately for me, Laurel isn't.

Me and Kyle in Central Park.  We didn't get to say to long in the park because there was a huge walk for Breast Cancer Awareness and it ended where we were in the park and this peaceful tranquil spot in NYC turned into party central.

Kyle and Darren.  I am sure they are having a serious discussion :)

Laurel got this picture of Kyle in the subway station.  I think it is a cool picture.

 We also took in a Yankees game.  It was freezing cold and the Yankees lost, but I think we all still had fun.  Kyle took a picture of all of us a the game, but I have yet to receive a copy of that picture from him. I am not very photogenic, so you all know how deeply disappointed I am, that I don't have the picture to post :)

We had a great time in New York with Darren and Laurel!

Goodbye Beast, Hello Pearl

I am trying to play catch up here.  

Here is the Beast.

  She got that name because she is enormous and cars move out of the way when they saw the beast coming.  She was a good car.  Even though I didn't fill her up with my family, she has hauled many miles all filled up.  She got the youth to many youth conferences, EFY's, dances, temple trips.  She carried our family on many vacations with content kids peacefully watching movies in the back.  She even hauled us out to Utah twice to drop off Hannah.  The last trip she carried a Honda in tow.  She whined a little, towing the Honda, but the good girl got us safely home.  Sadly, the Beast was getting old and with only two kids home most of the year I didn't need as large of a vehicle.  In September, the deals were really good so we sadly, with warm fond memories traded her in for something smaller.  We weren't prepared to say goodbye, so I told Savannah she could take some photos of our last outing with her.

I just noticed that Savannah was sticking her tongue out in this one, so I had to include it.

Meet Pearl

We are loving Pearl.  She is sporty and fun to drive.  When I want to go somewhere,I don't even have to get my keys out of my purse.  I just get in a push a button.  I am LOVING  that.  I will never go back to the old way.  I am free of having to dig in my purse to find my keys. Free at last.
