Central Park and our day today!

I forgot to post some pictures of our last day in New-York. We went to Central Park and the zoo. I LOVED Central Park, I would so love to live right by it. I know I know...VERY expensive dream! lol
The area around Central Park was so pretty!

I thought the zoo was great too! They had lots of fun animals and a petting zoo area.

I had to bribe my mom to pose for this picture! lol

It is amazing to walk through such a huge park and still be in the city, you actually forget you are in NYC when you're there! I really loved New-York! I know it's not realistic for me to want to live there considering how expensive it is but every time I go to a city it reminds me of how I grew up and how much I love the city!! I love how rich and diverse the culture is in a city, there is nothing I hate more than being in a place where everybody is the same...how boring!

Well, today we went shopping! We went to the outlets here in Vegas...it's impossible to go there without spending money. lol

We went out to lunch and Anaïs had a great time eating broccoli, she loves them!

Then we went a little crazy with the camera...lol

It was a great day! Anyone who knows my mom and I knows that we LOOOOOVE to shop!!!

Any day with shopping is a happy one. :)

NYC...tons of pictures!!!

WOW!!!!! We have been so busy!! I can barely find time to sit down for a second! I am sooooo tired but Jeff is forcing me to update the blog! ;)
Well, too many things are happening here for me to even try to go into details about our days...So here are a couple highlights.
Today, Anais and I met Amy Roloff from Little People Big World!!! I was so excited to meet her!! She was so nice and you could tell that she really cares about talking to other parents about raising a LP child. She talked to Anais, asked me about her health and development and told me a couple of her own experiences with her family. I really enjoyed meeting her! What a nice lady!
Here are some pictures of the welcome reception. It was a lot of fun for the kids, they had games, face painting, tattoos, great food and LOTS of dancing! We got to hang out with our blogging friends which was great! I just realized that I didn't take pictures of them though :( I am sure they will post pictures on their blogs!

We also went to the World Trade Center Museum which was very interesting and very moving...something everybody should go see! Here is where the towers used to be:

All the victims of September 11th 2001:

This is South Street Seaport where we took a boat ride to go see the Statue of Liberty:

Check out how static my hair was! LOL!!!

This is Time Square, I think my mom really loved it!

That's it for today...Sorry that I'm not writing too much, it's late and I'm exhausted!!! We are having a BLAST!!!! We are meeting so many people here at the convention, it's wonderful...it feels like one big family!

First day at the conference!

We made it to NYC!! Today is our second day and so far so good! We are having a wonderful time but I am sooooo tired!!! I am planning on going to bed early tonight to catch up on my sleep.

The girls did really good on the plane, no complaints there!

Last night, there was a 4th of July BBQ right outside the hotel with tons of fun stuff for the kids. They had face painting, balloons, live music, dancing, magic tricks etc...Sam had tons of fun dancing and making new friends while Anais was getting attention from EVERYBODY! She was very popular! lol

Also, we got the chance to meet Parker and Anais really liked him! :) We also finally met Tonya and Knoah and Caden and Trish. I just love meeting other bloggers, it's so great because we already feel like we know each other!

We are meeting so many great people here, it's amazing! I love it! I can really see how important it is for our kids to be involved in LPA. They are forming lifelong friends here and they are getting so much support and positive reinforcement.

I would write a longer post but I have to go...we are already late for the welcome reception!! I will try to post tomorrow! Until then...here are a couple pictures of New-York! :)

NYC here we come!!!

OK...we are all packed and ready to go! We leave tomorrow morning and we are beyond excited!! I am going to try VERY HARD to update my blog during the convention so check for updates!
See you all in New-York!!!

so many things to do!!

Well we leave for New-York tomorrow and I feel like I have so many things to do with so little time! I have to pack!!! I know I know, I have been saying that for the past couple days and have not started yet!! I wanted to but never got to it. LOL
Anyway, our flight leaves tomorrow morning around 6:00 AM so we have to leave the house around 4:00...We get in around 3:00 PM. We are very excited to see New-York and also attend our very first LPA national convention! We loved the regional so I'm sure we'll love the national even more!
The last couple days have been pretty busy. We spent some time at the pool at the Red Rock Hotel. I love it there!

Last night, Jeff and I went out to dinner, movie and drinks afterwards while my mom stayed home with the girls. It was nice to get out. We we got home, I checked on the girls before I went to bed and this is how Anaïs was sleeping in her crib...I just had to take a picture! I swear her flexibility is INCREDIBLE!!

We are bringing our laptop in NYC so I want to TRY to blog while we are at the convention...we'll see if that happens! lol

As for now, New-York HERE WE COME!!!!
