Brothers of a different breed

I love my brothers and their insane sense of humor. Although their laughter is contagious, I seriously have no idea what they are laughing at. I literally cannot decipher what is coming out of their mouths. Here is a small example:

Bottom line: my brothers are rad!

Goodbye NY

I am sitting in the airport with my mom. We are at Newark new jersey airport, I still have not seen snookie. Bummer.
New York was incredible, but the west coast is the best coast. Especially Seattle! God has blessed me with an amazing trip and I am forever thankful!!




I have never seen so many kids excited to stand under a large butt.





NY stock exchange.





Ground Zero ( I did not realize how big the site was).




Behind the bull...yikes!!

Day 3 in the Big Apple

Alrighty day three is done and it was yet again a blast! We ate an amazing burger at JG Melons (Bobby Flay's personal favorite), checked out the crazy Museum of Modern Art, and got lost (literally) in Macy's.
This city seriously never ever sleeps and walks everywhere. I have the blisters to prove it. but blisters aside I will miss this city. Had a great time!





Made it to Marisa's apt!! So cute!!




Yummy burger place.




So excited to see a bail of hay at the museum of modern art. 20 bucks...really!?





Oh hey Elvis





Nice block mom!!!





Monet's water lilies. Very pretty and huge!





And the winner for The creepiest person who wants to take a picture with your child goes to this guy. (buddy, Elmo is not 6 feet tall and dirty).

Day 2 in New York

Second day and NY is still crazy as ever! This city is nuts, but in a good way. A couple of thoughts and observations on New York: 1.) everyone who lives here is skinny and wears black. 2.) Certain streets smell like urine of some sort. Avoid these at all cost, and bring hand sanitizer. 3.) Central Park is so Gorgeous, but it's lake water is nuclear runoff green...makes me nervous. 4.) Best city to eat the most amazing foods! As Rachel Ray would say...yummo. 4.) Matt Lauer is a short man.

All of this said I still absolutely am having a blast and think this city is incredible!

Pictures of the day:





At the MET in front of a Pollock.





My sister in law amazingly can grow horns!!??




Green sewage/acid water in Central Park. Poor boaters, don't fall in!





Wicked! Such a great show!




The girls

Day One NY

First official day in NY city and it blew my mind!!! This city is incredible and I haven't even 1/3 of it! I would just have to move here to experience it all...hmmm. There are a million stories to tell including rats in a window, weird yoga people in the park, anne curry, and the most amazing burger I have ever laid my lips on. For now here are some highlight pics:




Radio City Music Hall!




Delicious street food...yes they are different.




NYU campus and the arch.




Marisa with some stuffed rats, that is how much they cherish these little creeps.




Empire state building, gorgeous!

Summer Travels

Tomorrow I will be able to cross off one of my dreams on my bucket list. Actually I don't have a bucket list, I'm not that lame, but it has always been a dream of mine to go to New York City. Tomorrow at 9:00am I will be flying to NY for a week with my mom. So pumped!! Stay tuned for random pictures of: New York (of course), strange people in the subway, food, and my mom (the mom pics will def bring more readers to my blog).

New York here I come!!!


Notice the hand sanitizer for nasty subway germs.



The book I will be reading on the plane...probably re-reading every sentence due to the fact that C.S . Lewis is a word genius.

Lip Smackers = Chapped Lips

Remember when you were around 8 or 9 (10 if you were late on the "cool train") and Lip Smackers were the raddest thing to ever hit your lips?? Although Lip Smackers had about 1 billion flavors, and smelled incredibly delish, there were two VERY lame qualities to the product.

Every girl knows what I am talking about. 1.) They don't taste sweet, instead they just taste like wax, and only smell like the candy you were wishing for. 2.) They never really cured chapped lips. I would use a whole tube hopeing to have some freedom from my scaly lips...nope. Instead I found myself jonesing for a taste that never showed up and red swollen lips that seemed impossible to cure. 

As a small child you mosey into the store, and your small candy searching eyes catch the insane neon color on the shelf. hmmm what is this??  Holy cow its flavor is Tootsie Roll, or even better Dr. Pepper! No child (or hipster) can resist crazy burn your eyes out neon colors. Even more difficult to resists is a chap stick that says it will taste like a forbidden soda your mom never let you drink (homeschooled and sugar deprived as a child). 

Although Lip Smackers failed at curing chapped lips and delivering yummy flavor, it made up for its lameness in the cool department. Pulling out that little tube in front of friends said: "Yes, I am only 7 but I rock this chap stick like a super rad teenager, and no I don't care if I ate the whole tube in hopes of it tasteing like candy."

that was the oddest thing about Lip Smackers, everytime you apply it, you think it will taste good. Your brain never learns, it just smells. 

And the photo of the day is.........
