Katie's Wedding Logan Utah

Enjoying the Wedding in Logan for little miss Katie and Davey.

Trip to BOSTON

2011-11-20T19:27:00.000-08:00

Lovin' the Four Seasons in Boston

This is the park right in front of the Hotel we stayed at. From here we walked the freedom trail and enjoyed the historic scenery.

So Ready

2011-04-08T07:09:00.000-07:00

I cannot get overhow fast these little ones grow up. I registered David for kindergarten and took him to his new school for testing and screening. He loved it and asked them if he could please start school tomorrow. They laughed and said don't you want to wait until after you play during the summer. David responded, "No, I'd rather start kindergarten. Everything else is too boring".

So although, I may be ready for him to start Kindergarten.... I am not sure that I'm ready for both of them to keep growing up. How do we slow it all down when we want to, and speed it up when we are So Ready?

I love New York!

Sarah and I enjoyed a fabulous evening out last night, compliments of Mamma and Papa Bear who looked after the cubs. We enjoyed diner on 9th and 45th at 5 Napkin Burger I think it was called with delicious spicy crab sushi roll and as we sat on the street soaking in the bustle of the city, who should roll up in a fance white open jeep? Noneother than P-diddy. That's right he stopped in front of us and waved to the crowd.

Then we headed out for a spectacular show at the New Amsterdam Theater which is gorgeous- "Marry Poppins" which was so impressive.

The Lead who played Bert was just phenominal. I couldn't believe that it more than lived up to the hype!

Lovin' New York

Living in New York

2010-08-26T14:42:00.000-07:00

Ok at first we were mesmerized by the beauty of the green surrounding us. The richnes of unique character lingering in each building and bridge we passed. But now, truth be told, it's starting to feel like I'm in a whole different country. People really do have accents- honest to goodness- New Yo-kah accents. So it's a like a different language. They don't really speak unless spoken to and every male out here is named "Joey".

So basically we like it, but have a lot to get used to. The town we live in is very quaint. It has a cute little city center complete with clock tower in front of the train station where Daddy commutes from each day- just a five minute walk from our apartment. We have the ultimate compromise for New York, living in the suburbs and working in the city with a nice airconditioned 30 minute train ride to Time Square. We are slowly collecting furniture and unpacking while trying to meet new friends and adjust. The apartment we found is very conveniently located, has nice upgrades inside like granite countertips and stainless steel appliances and it reminds me a little of the building ithe characters from "How I met your Mother" live in with two retail spaces below us a restaurant/bar Pizza place.

We miss all of our friends and family though and want to hear all about life on the west coast.

2010 What is New...

2010-01-26T23:00:00.000-08:00

Well we are officially having another boy! As you can tell... the David's are thrilled about the whole idea. Little David even wants to name him ... drum roll please... "David Jr. Jr." he hasn't figured everything out yet, but he likes his name and his daddy's name and wants to be the baby's "boss" so he figured that's a good place to start. I on the other hand would prefer a traditional family name. But I'm settling for anything that's not Korihor or Laman and Lemuel as David Sr. insists on telling my family he wants our child named one of the previous.

Latest accomplishments: Thanks to my awesome Christmas present, my new sewing machine, I have finished sewing my first project in 10 years. It is a car seat cover blanket for the new baby boy, thanks to Melissa Burnett's patience and help. Yea!

David Jr. is starting to learn to read simple words like hat, bat etc. and he's resolved to wearing normal clothes again (ie. he no longer insists on basketball jerseys and shorts in the freezing cold).

I have a week off of work yea and after watching Julie and Julia have been inspired to start keeping up with my blog. So here's to a better blog in 2010.

Vacations bring out the sweetness in life

2009-09-05T22:51:00.000-07:00

San Francisco and the Mexican Riviera were so wonderful that we refuse to come back to reality and face the facts of working and going back to school!

January 2009

2009-01-20T23:01:00.000-08:00

We have had an amazing 2 weeks of vacation and are enjoying the new year!
We even renewed our disneyland passes and our considering making an attempt to collect an advertising fee for all of the publicity and photography we generate to support Walt Disney.
We are looking forward to February and are finally getting used to Los Angeles.

David Jr's most recent quotes "Mommy, Daddy, Look at me... right now!"
"Mommy, let's go to disneyland to see Keira right now!"
And when asked who David Jr. wanted to Marry when he grows up, he responded "Taylor! Yah, Taylor!" as in cute little Taylor Burnett!

Too much Disneyland? Is that even possible...

2008-10-21T21:08:00.000-07:00

David Jr. enjoyed the most exciting week of his 2 year old life by spending it with his family and friends at Disneyland. He went on Wednesday with Loving Grandma and Grandpa Taylor and all of his Abbott and Savage relatives and then Thursday and Friday with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Katie and his beloved Noni Bear.

He DID NOT want to leave... he ate suckers, wore mickey ears and enjoyed riding Dumbo.

His little friends Matthew Lake and Keira Olson found him at Disneyland and made the day all the more exciting!

Visiting New York

2008-07-11T14:54:00.000-07:00

Wow, I never thought I would say this but I would love to live here in New York.

I am not sure if the sights are more amazing then I imagined or if David Senior is just so pleasant to be around while visiting the sights because we are "baby-free". Either way we are enjoying every minute of it.
