Empire State Building
New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street 
The Statue of Liberty 
Friends building 
Ground Zero. It made it so real and sad being here. 
I was such a tourist... I could not resist taking a picture with this statue. Katelyn has the look of disgust because of how dirty it was:). 
Katelyn, Rhea and I got to go out to dinner at the View (restaurant not the show). We had so much fun getting to spend time together as just the girls. We got to do lots of girl talk and lots of relaxing at a restaurant that slowly rotated around showing the city. 
We all got to go to the top of the Rockefeller building and get a great view of the city. It really made me feel very small seeing all of these large buildings. NYC truly is like no other place. 
The purple W is were we stayed. 
The Ball. I always thought it was a lot bigger than how big it looked from on top of the Rock. 
I had been waiting on New York pizza and when I finally got it I was in heaven!! I'm not sure I would think so highly of it if it was in Florida but knowing that it was New York pizza made it taste so good!
My first subway ride. We went to ChinaTown and it made me cross China off my list of places to see. 
Before the trip I was worried about what I would pack and what kind of jacket to get but Jonathan told me that we should not worry to much because we would probably look like hillbillies compared to the high fashion in New York City. I think he was way wrong!! I think we fitted right in!! 
One of my favorite things to do is go walking with the kids. I will keep them in the stroller for a lot of the walk and eat snacks and juice and than we will go down side streets and I let them explore. They love looking for adventures and love all of the nature in our neighborhood. 
This trip the cows were out for a little while until we scared them away.
For Ashlea's birthday me and the kids meet her, Gavin and Perian at Leu Gardens and than went down to Winter Garden for lunch. The kids had lots of fun and I had a great time hanging out with my bestie! I am so grateful for Ashlea and our friendship. She has been such a great friend and example to me. Happy Birthday Ashlea! I love you Sister Twin!!
This is how it started... Britton and I were taking a bath and taking silly photos (of Briton) to send to daddy who was in Vegas on a boy trip. All of the sudden I hear a very familiar scary noise coming from Payton who was asleep on my bed. I jumped out of the tub and grabbed Britton and put him in his bed and headed straight to the steaming bathroom. With out having Jonathan at home to help me with Britton and also Linda being out of town I was scared to make the call on Payton's health so I decided to get the kids in the car as fast as I could so I could be close to the urgent care which was 15 minutes away. We went and spent 4 hours in the urgent care. It was a very long night but after she got a shot of steroids , x-rays and a breathing treatment everythign was okay. 
I was blessed to have been able to have started the trip off with Britton being asleep. But eventually he woke up and was into everything! This was after Payton was doing fine and the doctor would not release us because the medications they gave her required that she be watched for 2-4 hours after receiving the meds. 
I was pretty bored during our wait time so I decided to prove that I am indeed 5'7"! No one ever believes me when I say 5'7" and always think I am taller. Jonathan always messes with me and says I'm 5'8". I love being tall and would claim 5'8", 5'9", 5'10" but every time I tell people how tall I actually am they look at me as if I was crazy. 
Such a trooper! I love this little angel so much and hate when she has to go through this scary croup.
