The first couple of days in NYC

Here is Nana, Mary Kate and Campbell(and lets not forget Isabel)...flying to NYC! It was actually Campbell's 2nd time to NYC...the last time we were all here I was pregnant with MK.

On our first journey in the city..can you tell Campbell is excited!

Myself and girls standing in little walk area in front of the Rock

I forgot exactly what ths was called...but it has something to do with the Rockefeller Building.

Tiffanys.....to bad I couldn't buy anything there! Ha!

The Plaza(known for Home Alone 2)

Only the best toy store in the world...FAO Schwarz!

Story Time in FAO Schwarz

Both girls listening attentively...

Mary Kate had crawled up onto this bench and thought she was very cool!

Eating lunch at Chelsea Market....which was on Rachel Ray's list of places to eat...so that's why we did it of course!

Mary Kate being silly

Tracy caught me with my mouth full...so this isn't a cute pic!

This is just a random pic of the lady singing and playing the piano in the McDonalds downtown about a block from The World Trade Center site...just though that was funny!

The last time we were in NYC we got ton of pics of the World Trade Center site...because they had an exhibit set up where you could walk by and view...but this time...we couldn't get as close...because they are in process of construction for rebuilding. Where you see the crane is the site though.

We cut our exbidition short that day because if you can tell by this pic...it was snowing hard!!

RSV at our house!!! UGH!!!

I'm not posting any pics...but just wanted to post that Mary Kate has had RSV since Thursday(high fever, coughing, congestion, croopy eyes) and now I think Campbell is starting in on it too! She has a terrible cough that started yesterday! So....we have been doing breathing treatments, decongestant, and motrin/tylenol to treat them. Hopefully they will get well soon!I know all of you know that it is defiantly not fun having sick little ones. Tracy had been in Pennsylvania all last week and was supposed to be there this upcoming week too, but they moved him to Nashville for this next week, and yesterday he surprised me at home! He had drove all the way back from PA without telling me a thing! It was a great surprise!

Ashleigh's Surprise 30th Birthday Party

Last night we all went to Clarksville to The Front Page Deli for Ashleigh's 30th Surprise Party! Its been quite funny for the past several weeks for everyone to keep it a secret. She was totally shocked when she walked in and saw so many people that had come from all over TN and even other states too! It was a very time!

Her cake was designed from her invitation to the party and Jerry Joyner who of course made it come all together! It was delicious!

Bringing in 2009..

For New Years Eve we went to our friends Caryn and Andrew's house in Nashville for some fun to bring in 2009!!!

This is pic during us playing Trivial Pursuit 90's version...and yes we all thought we would actually be better than we thought! I actually surprised myself by answering a few for the team!!
