The Saturday before we moved from New Jersey Josh and I were lucky enough to spend a full day in New York City. My cousin Cara was so wonderful to set this up for us and babysit our kids all day. Josh and I had such a fun day!</div>

This is just a cute shot of Tate and Cara at the zoo on that day :) We've only been away from New Jersey for 6 weeks now and we already MISS living so close to Cara and her family. I'm so grateful for the two years we had living just 5-10 minutes from the Newmans and the fun time it was to be in their ward.</div>

Josh and I rode the train into NYC and then our first stop was to Dominique Ansel's bakery. This was our first time and I loved looking at all the beautiful treats. Of course we were mostly there for the Cronuts, though! Luckily the fad has died down a bit because we didn't get to the bakery til probably 9 am and the line for Cronuts was only about 15 minutes.</div>

We thought the Cronut was really delicious! In hindsight, we should have split one since they are pretty rich and heavy and this was our "breakfast"...maybe they wouldn't have seemed so rich had we eaten them later in the day? We also split a "DKA" (Dominique's Kouign Amann). I actually loved the DKA even more than the Cronut. So good! It was kind of like a crunchy croissant that was warm and soft inside. Yum.</div>

Afterwards we took the subway down to the 9/11 Memorial, which we hadn't ever visited before. It was really sobering, especially looking at all the names of those who died. </div>

For the rest of the day Josh and I each chose one NYC thing we wanted to do before we moved. Josh's choice was to spend time at the Metropolitan Museum of Art - not viewing the usual American and European Art that I normally lead him to, but instead looking at all the Egyptian, African, South American, and Oceanic art and artifacts. Neither of us had been through those sections, so it was neat to check them out.</div>

Josh was loving it. This particular exhibit cracked me up because the pottery was from the years 200-600 AD and when Josh said that he said "These are replicas, right? I mean, there's no way these are really around from that long ago, right!?" Josh was eventually convinced that they were probably legit artifacts. :)</div>

It's so interesting to see how different cultures (and different centuries) depict the human figure and face. I love how the African sculptures were so stylized, especially since we had just walked through the sculpture hall with all the classic European figure sculptures. Such a contrast!</div>

My semester in Tonga and New Zealand studying native art and culture definitely gave me a soft spot for Oceanic art. I loved all the artifacts and beautiful carvings from this region. </div>

Of course we had to pop up to the roof of the Met for the beautiful view of Central Park and the NYC skyline. We will miss this place.</div>

After walking all through the Met we thought it would be a good idea to do more walking in the hot weather, so we walked across Central Park. Why did I think long jeans would be a good idea for a warm day in NYC? </div>

Some parts of New York are so crowded and dirty and ugly, but other parts are so pretty. I love the Upper West Side neighborhoods like this one.</div>

After lunch we headed to one of my very favorite spots in New York: the MoMA. Josh's company is one of the corporate sponsors of the MoMA, so we got in free with his company badge. That's a great work perk, if you ask me! I didn't take pictures of all the famous paintings, but I've already posted about the MoMA at least once on my blog, but here are a few favorites...</div>

(Including that rad black piece above by Louise Nevelson)</div>

Rauschenberg | Lee Bontecou</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's hard to tell, but the piece on the right is three-dimensional, with parts of canvas and steel and wire jutting out. It's made of dirtied canvas from conveyor belts. Bontecou made this piece during the Vietnam War and only felt it was right that his art during that time depicted the fear and ugliness that hung over the heads of Americans during the war. </div>

One of t<span style="text-align: center;">he current temporary exhibits was a large exhibit of Degas' work. There was tons of good stuff, including lots of his beautiful ballerina paintings that I love and that we're all familiar with. But my favorite part was seeing his landscape and more abstract paintings. (See above). What!? I had never seen that type of work from Degas and I loved it.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">After the MoMA we decided to call it a day! My cousin Cara was so sweet and was encouraging us to stay later and see a Broadway show, but we were pooped! If you're familiar with NYC then you'll know that our itinerary was taking us all over - Soho, the Financial District, Upper West Side, Upper West Side, and then back to Midtown. So it was a lot of walking (and a few subway rides). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so grateful to Cara for letting Josh and I have this wonderful child-free day in NYC before we moved. We will miss you, New York!</div>

I'm way behind on updating my blog because of our move to California, but I'm going to try to get caught up! Here are some pictures from one of our favorite places in New Jersey, the Great Swamp. It was about 15 minutes from our home and it was the perfect place to enjoy nature and let the kids run around.</div>

Watching the toads and turtles. We also saw the coolest thing on this trip to the swamp: there was a little birds nest in a tree right off the boardwalk and while we were watching the baby birds in the nest we saw the beautiful yellow mama bird fly to the nest and feed her babies. So cool!</div>

Josh travels about every other week for work, which results in lots of hotel points. A few weeks ago we decided to use some of his points and spend a night at the Sheraton hotel in Time Square. We had such a great time...</div>

First of all, I survived my first time driving into the city with the kids and no Josh. I thought it would be nervewracking, but we didn't hit any traffic so it was only a 40 minute drive and the kids were great. </div>

Josh works right by the hotel, so he zipped down and helped us check in at the hotel and unload our bags. Then the kids and I walked to Central Park. We paused for a picture by this statue and in my mind I was thinking "I HOPE I don't lose any of my children these next few hours while Josh is still at work!" We actually had a fun time and no one was permanently lost.</div>

The next morning we woke up bright and early and had our pictures taken in Central Park. (I haven't gotten the pictures back or else I'd post them). Tate was a wild man. In hindsight, Central Park wasn't the ideal place for photos with Tate. There were way too many rocks to climb, dogs to chase, open fields to run around. I will be very impressed if our photographer managed to get a good shot of us!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLs_vDzjce_KlyTqxcXOcqLpbih-pyYb3qhy5_bmfzikQhoP3Q5LAMmyJBv2W2omcPJRWcIJi0JQ1DZIjggdBhgfk7IF8k-UXpf8RnXYOIi3bxTBOGYJ6o7NfhMp6gHA5kfomv7wyp57bI/s1600/IMG_3595.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLs_vDzjce_KlyTqxcXOcqLpbih-pyYb3qhy5_bmfzikQhoP3Q5LAMmyJBv2W2omcPJRWcIJi0JQ1DZIjggdBhgfk7IF8k-UXpf8RnXYOIi3bxTBOGYJ6o7NfhMp6gHA5kfomv7wyp57bI/s640/IMG_3595.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In May when I went into NYC for a temple session I decided to stay afterwards for the New York City Ballet. The temple + the ballet... what a wonderful evening! The LDS temple is just across the street from Lincoln Center Plaza, so it was also very convenient. Maybe I'll do this more often? ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ballet was incredible. This was my first time at the New York City Ballet and I was so impressed. The show I went to was called 21st Century Choreographers and it had four performances: Belles-Lettres by Justin Peck, The Mothership by Nicolas Blanc, American Rhapsody by Christopher Wheeldon, and Concerto DSCH by Alexei Ratmansky. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have so much to say about these ballets, but I'll try to keep it brief. Justin Peck's ballet was so beautiful that it made me teary eyed... wasn't expecting that. The Mothership was funky and modern, but entertaining. Concerto DSCH was really beautiful and a great ballet to end on. My favorite was Wheeldon's American Rhapsody - a brand new ballet set to Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". It was such a beautiful and fun ballet. I loved every minute of it. Of course the highlight of the night was seeing my friend Robbie Fairchild and his wife Tiler Peck perform the leading roles in American Rhapsody. They are so talented. Watching Robbie dance was making me teary because he was my good friend and next-door neighbor growing up, and now he has reached his dreams and it such an incredible star on Broadway and in NYC Ballet. I could go on, but I'll stop there!</div>

Bryn and Mya had their dance recital in May and it was so fun to watch these two cuties on the stage. This was Bryn's second year of dance and Mya's first year. I was a bit nervous how Mya would do since she is so shy, but she did great! Both girls had such a good time and felt so fancy and special to be all dressed up and on stage in front of everyone.</div>

Mya loves cheese. She was so happy when we were playing Headbanz and she got the cheese card! Speaking of cheese, Mya has a really weird favorite sandwich: swiss cheese and peanut butter!? Most days I don't let her have it, but occasionally she begs hard enough for me to give in. Such a strange combo!</div>

We tried a new snack idea during conference that the girls had fun with. After each talk if they could tell me one thing they liked from the talk then they got to choose a snack. Bryn and Mya had a lot of fun with this.</div>

In April Bryn was so thrilled to take the train into New York City with Josh and attend "Bring Your Child to Work" day at Josh's company. She had been looking forward to this day for months and it did not disappoint! She loved meeting Josh's assistant and lots of his co-workers, and getting to see what her dad does at work all day. One of the assistants took lots of pictures (below), so it was fun for me to see what Bryn was up to...</div>

On our last day of the road trip we checked out Williamsburg, Virginia. Our first stop was the Jamestown Settlement. It was terrific! This was one of our very top spots on our trip. It was really fun, but also super informative. The kids were entertained the whole time, but Josh and I were also really fascinated by all that we learned. </div>

Learning about what the settlers ate. Basically, they used whatever vegetables or beans they had and made lots of soup! They would make a big pot of soup at lunchtime and that was their big meal of the day. Then they would have the leftover soup as dinner than night and as breakfast the next morning. The girls thought it was so funny to have soup every meal!</div>

After Jamestown we grabbed lunch and then drove about 10-15 minutes to Colonial Williamsburg. We didn't buy tickets to any of the performances/activities because of our tight budget and because of time constraints, but it was fun just to wander around. There were lots of reenactments in the streets, which were fun to see. It was a really cool place. </div>

After Colonial Williamsburg we piled back into the car and made the 6 hour drive back to New Jersey. The kids did amazing in the car for such a long road trip. The girls drew for the majority of the time, while we listened to books on CD. Our favorites were a couple "Magic Tree House" chapter books and a collection of stories by Beatrix Potter. Tate read tons of board books, colored with crayons, played magnets on his little cookie sheet, and just kind of hung out. He did great! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so grateful we were able to take this fun road trip and experience lots of new places in the southeast. What a charming and beautiful region. </div>

On our second day in Charleston we planned to play at Folly Beach, but unfortunately it was a rainy day. Oh well! Instead, we lounged in our hotel (we don't have TV/netflix at home, so the girls really enjoyed watching some shows), swam at the pool, shopped at the outlet mall near our hotel, and then found a movie theater that had $3.00 movie tickets... unheard of in New Jersey! So we saw Zootopia and it was great.</div>

Also on Day 2 in Charleston, I was able to check out the Redux Contemporary Art Gallery in downtown Charleston. It was such a treat to visit Blakely Little, Teil Duncan, and Lulie Wallace's art studios, which are all at Redux. These three paintings are Blakely's, from a show currently on display.</div>

The highlight of Redux was talking with Lulie Wallace (one of my very favorite current artists) about her artwork and the challenge of balancing art and motherhood. Her cute little Edy was in the studio with her, just hanging out in her baby carrier. Lulie is an awesome role model at being a devoted mama, but also killing it in the art studio. I felt like I was meeting a celebrity :)</div>

Day 5 of our road trip was spent in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. We really wanted to see a plantation while in South Carolina, so our first stop was checking out the McLeod Plantation. (We had planned on visiting the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens - which looks awesome - but we ended up switching to the McLeod Plantation since it was closer to our hotel, cheaper, and smaller grounds for our kids to walk). It was neat to learn about plantation life, to tour the main house, salve quarters, cotton house, and the beautiful grounds. </div>

On Day 4, we 45 drove minutes north from Savannah to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Talk about a gorgeous drive! Road trips on the east coast are much more scenic than the Utah - California road trips I grew up with. </div>

There are several different beaches on Hilton Head Island, but we decided to check out Folly Field Beach since there was a convenient boardwalk that goes right out to the shore. It was a great beach! And Hilton Head is really, really beautiful. We could have spent a full week here!</div>

Tate's first beach experience. He was a big fan. He laughed so hard every time the waves came in and the water "chased" him. He also loved picking up little shells and chasing seagulls. </div>

We started out by walking through Forsyth Park in downtown Savannah. It was a really pretty park. We loved all the huge trees... I think they're called "Spanish Moss"? So pretty!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFpv1WEeegb91zEaJpCmdllyxPoXilO0H-2mSHsPavZak188s-clH3AJVM_hOfVMiReQpMISvY2NI99ziWGXszzvHJ_AA8hCafK8I06ReIy6PnJqo7UrTpnp5UgE-LMk0hIi-4w63U5EcG/s1600/IMG_2895.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFpv1WEeegb91zEaJpCmdllyxPoXilO0H-2mSHsPavZak188s-clH3AJVM_hOfVMiReQpMISvY2NI99ziWGXszzvHJ_AA8hCafK8I06ReIy6PnJqo7UrTpnp5UgE-LMk0hIi-4w63U5EcG/s640/IMG_2895.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>

Bryn takes her wish-making so seriously. She needed a moment alone to make a wish and throw her coin in the fountain. I don't know what she wished for, but I'm guessing it was something about getting an American Girl doll :)</div>

After the wildlife center we met up with Josh's dad and five of my father-in-law's siblings. It was so fun to catch up with them! It's a crazy story about how we met up: We hadn't heard about their trip to Georgia and they hadn't heard about our road trip, but after they saw one of our facebook posts about Savannah they realized we were both in the same place so we met up! I still can't believe we just happened to meet up in Savannah, Georgia - of all places!</div>

We slept in Raleigh on Saturday night and then spent the first half of Sunday there. We went to church at 9 am, made sandwiches in the car, then popped into a couple free museums near our church building. Our first stop was to the North Carolina Museum of Art. It was such a great collection of art... I can't believe it is free to the public!</div>

Ledelle Moe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was one of my favorite pieces. It is by a South African artist that I wasn't familiar with. The piece is called "Congregation". It is a grouping of hand-carved faces, each one unique. The color and texture varies, depending on the region and country where Moe mixed concrete from local sand.</div>

This is the whole reason we came to this museum... so that I could admire a Diebenkorn painting in person. Richard Diebenkorn is one of my all-time favorite artists but he's rarely in the big museums. The NCMA had two of his paintings on display, so that was a treat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we came to this Diebenkorn corner and Josh noticed who the artist was and, without me saying anything to him, he knew I would want a minute "alone" with the paintings, so he whisked the kids to the next gallery and let me stare at the paintings for a minute. Husband of the year! He knows me well.</div>

In addition to the cool art museum and science museum, we just loved driving around Raleigh and through North Carolina. What a beautiful area! We wished we could have spent even more time in North Carolina, but after the museums we headed down to Savannah, Georgia. More on that later...</div>

For Spring Break this year we decided to cash in on Josh's huge cache of hotel points and do a road trip down south. It was the best time! I took a long time planning out every detail and doing lots of research, and it actually came together wonderfully. We loved every minute of it. On day one we drove away from the snow flurries in New Jersey and drove to Raleigh, NC. On the way, we stopped in Gettysburg, PA and spent a couple hours at the Visitor Center and the beautiful grounds. Here are a few pictures...</div>

There was a really moving video, narrated by Morgan Freeman that talked about the history of Gettysburg and we loved it! It made me teary, which I wasn't expecting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we did the "cyclorama" (pictured above) which is a huge original oil painting of Gettysburg that fills the walls of a large circular room. There is a narrator that talks about the battle and they use lights and effects to show different aspects of the war. That is a bad description of it, but it was really neat and the girls loved it. </div>

We did a lot of driving this first day and we worried how Tate would handle it. Surprisingly, he was a champ! He read his board books about 100 times each, ate his weight in snacks, and then had fun with this little cookie sheet - playing with magnets and coloring... on the paper and on his own face! Ha ha! We actually love spending time together in the car, so we didn't mind all the driving. </div>

Mya's favorite blossoms are the forsythia blossoms that were blazing all over our town. When we walked home from her dance classes she would get so excited to spot every bright yellow bush and shout "FORSYTHIA!!"</div>

Have I mentioned how fun it is to live five minutes away from the Newmans? These little second-cousins are such good buddies. </div>

I LOVE being in primary every week with Bryn and Mya, and witnessing all the sweet little moments in Sharing Time. One week Mya was chosen to come up and wear this cheerleading outfit and it may have been the happiest day of her life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mya is also my little baking buddy. She always has her arms lined with bracelets and purses, even when she is baking!</div>

Tate had a really rough two weeks in March with more breathing issues. His pediatrician thinks he's got some asthma issues, but we'll just see how things go down the road. Luckily, after a couple weeks of doing nebulizer treatments and steroids, he got over it and hasn't had any issues since then. </div>

Tate loves the park! His very favorite part is watching the big boys play ball. He peers through the fence at the boys and calls out "Ball! Ball! Ball!" over and over. It's so cute!</div>

Mya doesn't nap anymore, but once and a while she falls asleep against me while we read books. It's one of my favorite things to have this sweet girl snoozing next to me. </div>

We go through so many art supplies at our house! Now even Tate has joined in on the fun. He gets in trouble almost daily for scribbling on Bryn and Mya's drawings, but I'm thinking this will turn into good motivation for the girls to clean up their drawings.</div>

My youngest brother is about to graduate from high school and he got his LDS mission call in March. He is so excited to be leaving in July for a 2-year mission in Guatemala. None of my other siblings live in Utah, so none of us could be there in person when he opened up his mission call. Thank goodness for technology that helped us all to be a part of it via video chat. </div>

Something about Tate's chubby white legs in shorts!</div>

Unfortunately, he is like Bryn was at this age - a little explorer! His main objective lately is to wander (or run!) as far away as he can. Maybe he was just so cooped up in the winter months that he is just ready to get out and go as far as he can. We spend a lot of time chasing after this little rascal. </div>

A few weekends ago I had such a fun day in NYC on my own. Josh had a really busy month in March, travelling for work almost every week. He felt badly about being gone so much, so he insisted I take a full day in NYC on my own. Ok!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I rode the train into the city and started the morning with a trip to the Whitney Museum of American Art. This has been on my "Art Museum Bucket List" for quite a while, but I wanted to wait til the museum opened it's new location in West Village. The new building design is really cool and it's a great location right on the waterfront. Here are a few favorite pieces...</div>

I'm not normally a big fan of de Kooning's figurative work, but I was mesmerized by the bottom corner of this painting. Those clean areas of green and gray are such a beautiful contrast to the messier strokes above. </div>

Arshile Gorky</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stared at this large painting of The Artist and His Mother for a long time. I loved the story behind it and thought I'd record it here so that I remember it:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gorky based this portrait of himself and his mother on a photograph taken in his native Armenia in 1912, when he was eight years old. In 1919 he watched his mother starve after years of deprivation during the Ottoman Turks' campaign to eliminate the Armenian population. The following year, Gorky arrived in the U.S. as a refugee of the genocide. As he established his career as an artist in his new homeland, he remained preoccupied with the photograph; it offered a potent symbol of a tragedy that had killed between 1 million and 1.5 million Armenians. Gorky's painting, made over a span of ten years, is not a precise replica of the camera's image. Instead, he worked in broad areas of color and used dry brushwork to create a soft, blurred effect. He furthered this quality by leaving the hands undefined, at once suggesting the loss of physical connection between him and his mother and the fading memories over time. This painting is a testament to the complexities of the immigrant experience and the struggle to come to terms with history. </div>

For my mandatory NYC treat of the day I tried out Doughnut Plant for the first time. I totally over-indulged with a creme brulee doughnut <i>and</i> a coconut creme doughnut. The creme brulee was really good, and a very unique doughnut from anything I'd had. The coconut creme was a little too rich and I couldn't get through much of it, but maybe it had something to do with already eating another doughnut right before?? :) Dough doughnuts are still my favorite doughnut in NYC, but Doughnut Plant was still really yummy!</div>

I ended the day by quickly switching my jeans for a skirt and going to the Manhattan LDS Temple and doing an endowment session. It's tricky getting into NYC to do temple work, so it's always a treat when I get to go. After a busy day around New York, it was so peaceful and uplifting to spend two hours in the temple and be reminded of my commitment to God. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a perfect NYC day! Thanks to my sweet husband for encouraging me to go and for happily watching the three kids while I was away. </div>

I love Easter time. It's such a beautiful time of year to celebrate Jesus Christ and to welcome spring, with feelings of renewal and hope and newness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a fun time at the community Easter Egg hunt the week before Easter. (I love that I live in a small enough town that does fun little activities like this). The kids had a great time and surprise, surprise- little Miss Mya found the golden egg for her age group! She's not as dramatic or expressive as her big sister, so her reaction was so funny. She just calmly picked up the golden egg, plopped it into her bucket, and just gave me a little smile.</div>

She was thrilled to turn in her golden egg and redeem it for a life-sized chocolate bunny!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Bryn was not so thrilled about this situation, since she had been desperately searching for the golden egg. It was a good lesson on being happy for your siblings and how you can't always be the "winner".)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9sX9Vd-S_xGMWD8eyKKHRsIARc9KjGsCFGGrcpCMU4pK4WgOp-n4nMkMwsk3TWSiWjCRPb27PINcehqz0t0QaCedTsnVDmw63VEQVqtjQZMUt6djFiXGZc06y3qpBT3ovwMwWj5qwNQEN/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9sX9Vd-S_xGMWD8eyKKHRsIARc9KjGsCFGGrcpCMU4pK4WgOp-n4nMkMwsk3TWSiWjCRPb27PINcehqz0t0QaCedTsnVDmw63VEQVqtjQZMUt6djFiXGZc06y3qpBT3ovwMwWj5qwNQEN/s640/1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

Mya is in love with her bunny!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I say "is" in present tense because the bunny is still around! She eats about 1-2 bites a day, so she's only eaten to his eyes. Josh is threatening to chuck it, but I think it's so comical to see her take a little nibble each day. :)</div>

Josh has been gone every other Sunday for ward conferences in other cities, so I've been learning to handle the kids on my own in our ward. I know so many other women have mastered this, but it's been new territory for me. The girls have been great, but Mr. Tate is at the busy, busy, busy stage. The countdown to nursery is on!</div>

Bryn's school class celebrated the 100th day of school and each child had to make a poster with 100 items on it. Bryn's poster was really sweet. She chose to make a birthday cake for her great-grandma Tueller with 100 candles on it. My Grandma Tueller passed away last year and it has been hard on Bryn! She asks about Grandma all the time and has not forgotten about her. Bryn finished her poster and said "Grandma would have loved this cake if she lived to one hundred. Maybe she can have this cake in heaven." </div>

I love going on walks with my kids, but Mya has finally grown out of the stroller stage. I tried to keep her in there for as long as I could, so it could be more of an exercise walk for me. But now Miss Mya insists on walking beside me and pushing the stroller. We don't go very fast and I never break a sweat anymore, but it's cute walking beside Mya and hearing her little chit chat the whole way.</div>

I had the best time in NYC with two of my very favorite people. Kristi and Megan were my counselors when I was a Young Women president in California a few years ago. I loved serving with these amazing women and they became some of my very closest friends. They're the best of the best! Kristi is moving back east soon and came out to Connecticut a few weeks ago to find housing for her family. She decided to bring Megan with her and to tack on a few days in NYC to the end of her house-hunting trip. I was so thrilled to join them in NYC! It was so, so good to catch up! </div>

All three of us have spent time in NYC doing the touristy stuff, so this trip was pretty low-key, just lots of walking around the city, talking, laughing, and taking advantage of all the good food in NYC :)</div>

We did a bit of shopping after brunch and then headed to the Lunt-Fontanne Theater for the broadway musical Finding Neverland. I loved it! It was a really fun show with great music. The main actor Tony Yazbeck was excellent. He really sold the show for me. And the 7th row tickets were the closest I've ever been for a broadway show, so that was a plus!</div>

Kristi and Megan stayed through Sunday, but I took the 10 pm train back to New Jersey on Saturday night after two wonderful days in New York. Oh, I love these ladies so much! They are such good women, such good moms, such good friends. I felt so recharged and inspired after 48 hours with them.</div>

P.S. Yes, Josh is amazing to happily take a day off of work and watch the kids Friday and Saturday. Even when Mya and Bryn got a 24-hour food poisoning spell while I was gone. Oh boy! Husband of the year!</div>

I have felt Valentine's envelopes for the kids that hang on our kitchen chairs and Josh and I had fun sending the girls love notes throughout the month. The girls also send notes to each other, which was really sweet. On February 1st the girls got these matching heart shirts in their envelopes to kick off the month of LOVE.</div>

Lastly, here is our first attempt at a heart-shaped pizza. It doesn't look very pretty (and that old cookie sheet isn't helping), but it was yummy and the girls always get so excited about things like this. So I'm counting it as a win :)</div>

Josh and I have made an effort to be more consistent in our dating in 2015. On the weekends where we haven't had a babysitter we've tried to plan something fun at home. One of the weekends in January it was my turn to plan the at-home date, so we did a mini art lesson! Josh was a trooper to jump right in and paint with me. </div>

Another painting I did in January was this watercolor of my Tueller grandparents. My aunt commissioned the painting and it was a really special project. My sweet grandma passed away last year, and this painting shows the legacy that she left for me. Devotion to her husband, and devotion to God, through her service at the Provo temple, LDS missions to Indonesia and Spain, and teaching at the Missionary Training Center. </div>

These park pictures were from January 16th and at this point we still hadn't gotten any real snow during the winter. Such a weird winter for New Jersey! We enjoyed the mild weather and tried to take advantage of it by going for walks to the park in our neighborhood. (Don't worry, we got our fair share of snow the following week!) </div>

Tate has kind of grown out of this phase now, but in January and February Tate was obsessed with hats! We have a big bin of beanies in our coat closet and Tate would raid that bin all throughout the day. He was always wearing Bryn and Mya's hats and coming up to me with a new hat he wanted to wear. It cracked us up to see him going about his normal business with his sister's hats on his head :)</div>

Bryn always keep me laughing. I turn my head for a few minutes and suddenly she's wearing a pig nose. Or she's somehow scaled the wall and is hanging out on the pull-up bar at the basketball gym. Get down from there(!!) ....but let me take a picture first.</div>

We had a really mild December and didn't get any snow in New Jersey, but winter came all at once in one big blizzard in January. We were forecasted to get 8-12 inches of snow, but we ended up getting over two feet of snow in one day. It was crazy!</div>

Josh and I had tickets to Wicked on the day of the storm and we were so nervous about being able to get into the show that day. We had called the theater earlier in the week and they said Broadway doesn't cancel for snowstorms and the show would be going on. It turned out that the snow was so bad that it shut down all the trains going into NYC that morning and all Broadway shows were cancelled for the day. We were bummed about missing our show, but it turned out to be a fun snow day as a family. School, work, and church were cancelled that Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(And we ended up getting a refund for our tickets and bought tickets for a few weeks later).</div>

Some of our very favorite people moved away from New Jersey this past month.... our cousins!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a blessing it was to live under 10 minutes away from Josh's brother Jake and his family. It was so great to live so close to cousins. We saw them every Sunday at church (Jake was our bishop) and we loved getting together with them for holidays and other events. Oh man, we will miss them! But we're so excited for their new adventures in Chicago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks before they moved we got to babysit our nieces and nephews while Jake and Ty went out to Chicago to get things all set with their new home. It was so fun to have a whole week full of cousin time! We spent all our free time playing games and trying to soak up every last minute together. It was also a trial run for Josh and I to see what life would be like with seven kids! Ha ha!</div>
