New York, New York

Ben and I took a trip to New York this past week. It all started with us missing our flight! Ben melted the wheel on my cute luggage from running so fast! After we arrived it was an absolutely perfect trip, up until realizing we left the camera in the back of a taxi, with all the lovely fall photos of baby and hubby and central park, and cool buildings and bums, and food and grand art! Sick I say, just sickening! oh well, Its ALWAYS an adventure with Benny boy! we just have to laugh because we must be the luckiest of the unluckies!
The Met was astounding! The galleries were gorgeous, I want to live in ABC home! and the Chelsea Market was something any foodie would get butterflies at! We took advantage of the fresh seafood market with some fabulous sushi, followed with the most amazing thick, dark, hot chocolate ever! Not to mention that huge all kinds of chocolate chip cookie that I happened to get all over my shirt. I had my camera around my neck and somehow dropped some chocolate from the cookie on it, and as it swung back and forth it made a nice poo like smudge all over the front of me! Just happened to realize right in front of Anthropologie, which was convenient to purchase a top to put on for our stroll on the Highline. Pure bliss! but still can't get over those sweet photos I got of Miles sitting in some pumpkins with his beanie on!
Mom watched the girls and when we got home they ran straight for Ben, not me, guess I could have stayed longer, hmmmm next time perhaps.
These photos were taken on my iphone.

View of a template to look through and match up the buildings from the skyline.


This was the coolest clothing store (All Saints). It had like a thousand old singer sewing machines lining the windows and walls.


Still can't figure out what is going on with this animal!

These are some of my favorite works from the Met.





This is a scary photo for halloween, my almost 6 month old boy looks like a 4 year old and Ben's eye
from the flash looks red and ready to eat miles chub! we were in the most amazing Thai restaurant called Tao.

Rohme at 10 months

It was time I got a few photos of little handsome Rohme!
This boy loves to eat, he will eat anything! but he especially loves suckers!
so we sat him down with a bunch in his lap to take a picture and at first he was so excited
but then got frustrated and started screaming because he couldn't eat them fast enough.
It was hillarious watching him. He balled for like an hour!

Lola Bell

This tinsie thing is what we all have been waiting for! Lola Bell is sooo sweet! I finally made it up to Heber to see her new little self, and I about dyed! She is so small. I Love seeing my sister Gina with her little girl!









Right when John got home from work, he walked straight over and picked up Lola Bell. I loved seeing him in his Chef uniform
holding her!

I now have a Six year old!

My Bella turned six on Thursday the 23rd. I feel like time is flying past me and I don't want my babies to get big!! She started kinder a few weeks ago and lost her other front tooth, and now she decided to have a birthday and be another year older. Right now Bella loves to play with her little brother and sister, she loves swimming and all things with water. She loves reading books and learning new things at school. She loves going to Primary, watching princess movies, and especially painting, drawing and all things creative! So when I was cruising the internet and found the great idea of an art party, it was just the perfect thing for little Miz Bella's 6th birthday party!

The invites

The artists.

The self portraits.

The kids loved painting on big easels that Ben got from his bridge academy.




Special thanks to Rach and Jan for helping to paint rainbows and hearts on tiny cheeks!

The snacks.






This is a lalaloopsy doll that Bella wanted for her birthday. I can't get enough of it,
she's so cute in her uniform, and the box said she is a smarty pants. I love it!
I secretly want her to collect them all. I just wish they had real button eyes.
