New York City - 2008

Shelly had a one day Seminar in New York on "Anti Money Laundering" Jed tagged along and they had a little bit of spare time to take in the sites of NYC and take in a few of the attractions that New York City affords, including - the "American Girl" store, Times Square, a somewhat closeup of the "Statue of Liberty", the New York Subway, Etc. Etc.

It rained pretty much the entire time we were there. So, we didn't get too many pictures. But we got a few none the less. We took a city tour on the gray line tour bus, so once again, enjoy the pictures.

Fire House 10 is right across the street from ground zero. What would a trip to New York City be without a stop at one of the firehouses, at least with Jed along? (by the way, it is the only fire house whose truck and engine are the same number - that being "10").

We rode the Staten Island Ferry over the Staten Island and back, as it gave us a much closer view of Lady Liberty. What a great site, and reminder of this wonderful land we live in. I am grateful to be an American!

The outside of the new "Yankee Stadium" It is right across the street from the "Cathedral of Baseball", that being the old Yankee Stadium. The picture of Shelly on the bottom is in the business offices of the old Yankee Stadium, and let me add "I want to thank the Good Lord for making me a Yankee Fan"

Kiersten's First Birthday!

Can you believe that she is already one? We can't! This past year has flown by, but what a year it has been. We can't imagine our life without our little "Birdie" (Kiersten). She has been a great addition to our family, not to mention a great baby. And what a smile she can flash at you. Here are some pictures of her small birthday party we had for her. Enjoy the pictures!

Kiersten's First Birthday Cake!

She all of a sudden knew we were singing "Happy Birthday" to her, she sat back and took notice!

She is a "Major Cutie" even with frosting all over her face!

Aunt Kayla came to help me celebrate, along with some of my cousins - Jake and Kaylee.
