Back West...

So I have been officially back out west for one week as of today. I moved back in with my parents for the time being, and I am planning on going back to school this fall at the community college here, for an associates in business and then we will see where it goes from there. I have been looking for a job, got a couple offers but they were just summer jobs and were between and hour and an hour and a half away, and I need something closer, and something that is longer term so I can still work while I attend school. Othere than that there is nothing new really going on with me. I went to visit my grandma (my dad's mom) on tuesday because my dad and grandpa were going turkey hunting, so I stayed with her, it was only a one night thing but we sewed on Wednesday, and I made a Christmas table runner, but it isn't finished, I still have to put the binding on, but when it is I will take pictures, and post them. Nothing new in the guy area, there is this guy in my singles ward I would like to go on a date with but guys these days don't date, well at least the guys I know, they just hang out in groups, its a little frustrating. Well that is all the news for now, I won't be posting pictures like I have been I have to find my cord for my camera, since I can't use my bosses handy thing they had since I don't live there anymore so it may be awhile before I get new pictures posted.

West Point...

So Teresa and I took Chase, and Maeve to West Point on yesterday, they were so good they lady complimented us on how well behaved our babies were and how cute they were. We never correct people when they say "our" baby is cute. People tell us that all the time and it would so we told our bosses we don't correct them and they said that was fine they are strangers and we'll never see them again. Anyway, West Point is gorgeous, it was so green, and Teresa and I decided that for nannys who are deprived of men our age out here it was probably not the best place for us to go on a tour, especially since they were all outside working on their sports that day cause it was such a nice day. There were so really good looking men, but I'm not sure a military man is what I want. Anyway so we had a really good day, where West Point is, it looks like you have steped back in time a little bit they have an old ice cream shop and everything is reall quaint. So I took some pictures of us at west pointThen I also was taking pictures today of Maeve and a fluke happened and I got a fantastic picture of her. I have had several people tell me that "My baby" looks like me, and my nanny friends say she could even been mine, so judge for yourself with this picture.

Mama Mia

So yesterday Kierston and I went into the city because we had Mama Mia tickets. We rode the train into Grand Centeral, and then we started walking to get food because we were starving. We decided the best place to get food would be time square, plus the theatre was right by time square. Well we weren't sure if we were going the right was so we got a taxi to take us. But not just any taxi, it was a bike taxi in New york there are these guys that have a like a cart behind their bike, and they take you wherever you want to go. So we ate lunch and then went to the play, and it was FANTASTIC! I had never heard a lot of ABBA music before, but I really really liked it. I think it is my favorite one that I have been to. Then we went to canal street and went shopping in China town it was so much fun! I'm glad I got to go this before I left. I have 5 more days until I leave, and then I am back home in the West. YEA!!!

Parents

So I haven't posted a picture of my parents on any of my web pages, because I didn't have a picture of them together, but I found one. It is like a year old but they haven't changed I promise. So here is my mom and dad

Empire State Building

So I know that I told you that this weekend I was goingto the Statue of Liberty and stuff like that. Well we were standing in line to get our tickets for the Statue of Liberty, and they announced over the loud speaker that Ellis Island would be closed until Sunday, and that you couldn't go up into the Statue of Liberty. (I didn't mind not going up in the statue of liberty, but I did want to go to Ellis Island) So if we would have went on Saturday it pretty much would have just been a ferry ride so we got out of line, and decided to go to the Empire Sate Building instead. We had a good time, it said it was suppose to rain but it was so bright and sunny, I had to carry my thick coat around all day, it sucked! (who would have thought a weather man could be wrong) Anyway it was really hot in the Empire State Building, and it took quite a while to get to the top when we got to the 80th floor there was only 6 more floors to go and they told us that we could either wait for an elevator, or walk so we walked the last 6 flights of stairs. When we got to the top it was gorgeous they would give you a map so that you knew what you were looking at because when you get up there, there are no plaques or anything like that telling you are looking at central park, or the statue of liberty or stuff like that. Here are some pictures of the view from the top, and one of Kierston and I.

This one is of the Statue of Liberty and it is fuzzier than the rest cause I had to zoom in a ton to get it so that you could see it and it wasn't just a spec on the lense.

So one of my more recent blogs talked about a birthday party that I went to, and that I made a quilt for her birthday. Well we didn't finish it in time for her birthday so I finished sewing on the back yesterday and I have picture so I thought I would show you. It wasn't a very hard quilt, it's just a block quilt and then I hand sewed on buttons, and ribbon and we ironed on some flowers to make it a little more interesting, I love the colors though they are so bright and cheerful we thought that since it was becoming spring it was a perfect fit!

We made the quilt 4 1/2 feet by 6 feet, just big enough to cuddle up with on the couch. The back of the quilt is fleece and it is like a spring green color almost mint green but not quite.

This is a closer look at the hand sewing I did, I think there was 20 or so blocks that had buttons and ribbion hand sewed on to them, I think it turned out reall cute!

So the strip block on the left was my favorite one, I made that flower with ribbon and a button, it was by accident actually, I was doing something with the ribbion and it went into the shape of a flower and I liked it. The other block is Kierstons favorite block, it is a tiny iron on flower. We had 8 iron flowers that we put through out the whol blanket.

Playdate at the Mall

So Theresa and I decided to do a play date at the mall because we didn't want to stay in the house and it was a rainy day, so we went to the mall. Probably not the smartest thing since we both had no money, but we just bought lunch and look around. Anyway we had to stop and feed the little ones, and we were sitting on these nice leather couches and decided to take some pictures. The kids were hilarious, Chase can sit up by himself, but he still kind of leans forward, and Maeve can't sit up yet so we were trying to prop Maeve up on Chase and they were falling over, anyway it was hilarious. What was even more funny was that people were stopping and watching us take pictures and laugh at the kids. So here are some pictures of the kids and then one of me with them and one of Theresa with them, (Theresa is so cute she is like 5 foot nothing, and Chase is a big boy so she looks so cute when she packs him around.)

This is me with Chase and Maeve I guess this is what it would be like to have twins.

This is Teresa, isn't she cute, she is so much fun to hang out with I am really going to miss her!

Don't they look so cute together, we call Chase, Maeve's little boyfriend well all have so much fun when we have our playdates together.

So this weekend I am going to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and ground zero. Next weekend we are going to the Empire State Building, and to the Broadway show Mama Mia. I am trying to fit everything into 4 weekends, and I don't know if I am going to get it all done. I wanted to go to Washington D.C. but I don't think I am going to be able too. Here are some pictures I took of Maeve today.
