Boston


We lucked out and had a 4 day weekend so we decided to head to Boston and visit Chandler and Tiffany while the weather was still nice. They live in a beautiful area! This is a little park near Harvard where Chandler attends law school! He is so smart, I'm very proud of him!

The park was awesome the kids had such a great time!


The kids first subway rides!



The above pictures are all taken at Bunker Hill, where we started the freedom trail!

The Boston Children's Museum was incredible! The kids had such a great time and the best part was Friday nights only cost $1 a person!

We had such a great time! Boston is such beautiful and clean city we were wishing we could live there. Chandler and Tiffany are the best for putting up with all of us staying with them. We sure had a wonderful visit with them. They are so sweet and cute with the kids. Chandler would tell the kids the most exciting stories at bed time, they loved it!

Poor Kashy dropped his blue baba and it rolled into the Hudson! He was beside himself, he kept crying "baba bye, bye!" He is a very intense child and this was very traumatic!

Britannia in front of the bull!

In front of the Twin Tower memorial, we didn't realize you had to print off tickets prior to going so we weren't able to go in.

Grandma bought Mishayla a Statue of Liberty for her birthday!

As we were walking around we walked past all the protesters. At the time we didn't know what was going on because it was before we had heard about it on the news. We asked the cops about and I decided to snap a picture on our way past just in case it became a big thing.

We had a great day in New York and a great visit with Grandma! I hope this gets people excited to come visit us! Visitors welcome, hint hint...

Mishayla's 6th Birthday!









Mishayla chose a "baby" themed birthday party again this year. She had a baby doll birthday party when she turned 3 and she loved it so much she wanted it again. We had so much fun planning for her party. Mishayla loves everything baby and small, and I have to admit that I do too! Mishayla is my little clone in every way. She wants to take control and do everything her way. She wanted to decorate her cake herself, she is very crafty and cute! She is such a sweet little thing we sure adore our little Shayla girl!
