Greatest City in the World

Hey hey hey, it's big Nick updating the blog per Dyanna's request. Yay, yay, yay!!! Just wanting to report about our most recent excursion to the big NYC, passing thru the Philly and AC (that's short for Philadelphia and Atlantic City. We sure did have a good time out there. You bet we did. Here's the update minute by minute.

Day 1: Philadelphia: Liberty Bell. Independence Hall. Citizen's Bank Park for the Phillies and Red Sox game.

Day 2: Atlantic City: Chilled on the boardwalk, checked out the funnel cakes, and ate delicious greeeeeeesy pizza.

Day 3: Dy and I sent the entire day in NYC. We hit up all the great tourists spots...Times Square, Central Park, 5th Avenue, Rockefeller Plaza, 49 steps broadway and of course the Late Show with David Letterman. We got to see a taping of the Late Show, and Dave asked us (that's right, asked us like me and Dy) to stand up and show off our Late Show shirts. He then gave us a $100 bucks and said it was not necessary for us to buy that stuff.

Day 4: Another day in the BIG city. All of us, Shaun, Sharee the kids and us spent time at the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero and the NEW Yankee Stadium. We watched a slow game, that got very exciting in the end but the Yankee's ended up loosing in the long run because A-Rod sucks.

Day 5: Wasted day. Don't ask. Just know it was a wasted day.

Day 6: Boys to the US Open and girls to the City to watch Mamma Mia.

Day 7: I'm totally bored of writing this so i am not going to write anymore.
Wow.... Sorry guys that may be the last time I ask Nick to update the blog. Because this is the only one he has written I will keep it and just add pictures because I know that's why you look at blogs anyway. :) Enjoy!

and another one..

I realize the majority of my posts are about Prezley (not sure if I should be embarrassed about that or not) but this was too funny not to share. Although I am sure it didn't help that I was in one of those "laugh till you cry" moods and that's exactly what I did. Here is our samurai dog.

Good Morning!

Every morning I wake up, it's to this. What a good thing to wake up to! Then I proceed to put my hand off the bed and he goes crazy and licks it all over. I love Prezley. Oh the simple things in life.

The Gardens at Thanksgiving Point

Alyssia, Samantha, Sienna and I had a nice stroll through the Gardens today. Alyssia and I took some pictures of Sienna. Couldn't have a cuter subject to photograph. Here are some of the shots I got. Sam feel free to take any of these if you want them. Sorry I don't have photoshop to spruce them up a bit.

Stuart Falls and Spring Ducklings

Cute little Sienna. She was a trooper.



A few of us went to Stuart falls tonight where we ended up reenacting Man from Snowy River and hiked through snow to get to the Waterfalls. Me thinking it was summer went prepared for a nice summer hike in shorts and a t-shirt. Not expecting what I'd find. It wasn't too bad though once we started hiking. I have to say Stuart falls is much prettier in the summer but it was still a nice little hike through the mountains....and snow. Also I went outside of our condo the other day and this hen duck had 7 little ducklings. They were the cutest little things. Sad thing is I only saw them this one day. I guess there is always next year.

Purchase or no purchase?

I love the detail you can see in this pictureDucksPrezley watching the ducks

This dog was so funny. Everytime his owner would call him over he would turn his back towards me because she said he hates having his picture taken.



Prezley doesn't walk anywhere, he sprints!

Story of Prezley's life, being pinned in the bushes by bigger dogs



I really want a professional camera, it's just a matter of convincing Nick that he really wants one too. My sister let me borrow her camera to see how I like it. Prezley was my lucky subject to be photographed which when the object you are trying to photograph is constantly moving it becomes a little difficult but here are some of the shots that I got.

Vegas, Phantom and Taylor Swift's mom?

This past weekend Nick and I went to Vegas to see Phantom of the Opera for my birthday. Which was an excellent Broadway. Even though I couldn't understand what they were saying most of the time I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The night before the show we were waiting for country singers to come out because it was the CMA's in Vegas last weekend. Well we saw a few. Chuck Wick who I didn't know at the time but is still attractive none the less. We also saw Bucky from American Idol and last but not least Taylor Swift......'s mom. Not Taylor Swift, her mom. That was still very exciting for Nick. We ran up to her and had a nice convo with her while we walked her to her taxi. She talked about how it makes her mad Scalpers get her tickets and she talked about how Taylor gets bombarded in the meat department at grocery stores in her home town and I asked if she wears those big sun glasses and she said there isn't a need to because she worked so hard to get her name known there is no sense is trying to cover her up. Well said Taylor's mom. I also told her to excuse my husband and she said it's ok, he is just enthusiastic which she loves and that she isn't worried. She was a very nice lady. I proceeded to tell her that she is a cool mom and Nick gave me a little smile and after told me I was becoming a true Killpack. I could only avoid it for so long. :) kidding. All in all it was a great weekend and I was sad to come home.
