Heise Swimming

Kinsley had her last swimming lesson today. We stayed up camping and went to her lesson. She swam the rest of the day. 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. She can still go back later if she wants. She did the slide and the diving board over and over again by herself. I just went from pool to pool watching. She had so much fun.

Logan Day 9

We drove to Logan through a terrible rain storm. Hail and everything. I cannot believe all the moisture we are receiving everywhere we have been. We picked Oliver up and took him shopping, ate at the Firehouse Pizza place and then went swimming at the "Show and Tell" as he calls the motel. Then we met up with Melanie at Oliver's Karate class. When class was over we went to dinner at Cafe Sobre.

Oquirrh Temple, Utah

We flew from New York to Salt Lake City, and drove to Provo. When Ashley got off work we went to the open house of the Oquirrh Temple. It was beautiful.

We then went out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. That places food is to die for. WOW was it good. Try it next time you see one.

New York Day 6

While we were waiting to go to the show we went to the Rockefeller Center and went up to the top. Also we shopped at Macy's and visited Herold Square Park at noon and heard the bells ring. Last day in New York so we will pack tonight and fly out in the morning at 7:00 a.m. A great trip to New York.

New York Day 6 The Late Show

We started the day by going down to the Ed Sullivan Theater to see if we could get tickets for the The Late Night Show with David Letterman. First you wait in line, fill out a paper that is put in the lottery drawing, go through an interview, and then wait to see if they call you.

So we went to the Hello Deli that is owned by Rupert and had breakfast. Next we went to Macy's to shop. We got the call that we had been picked for the show. We needed to be back at 2:00 p.m with are code of Paul/Gold List.

We waited in line again, tuned in our code name and was told to come back at 3:45. So we did. They really try to get you hyped up and excited while you are waiting for it to start. We got into the theater, and saw the taping. We were in the balcony so I doubt we were ever seen. But it was fun to be there. Interesting how they do it all. A fun experience but pretty much a whole day thing with all the waiting and coming back.

This was a guy that was trying to perform outside the theater while we were waiting to go in.

New York Day 5 China Town

We next week to China Town. What an experience. A guy on the street said come a buy a purse. He took us 3 blocks and down 2 sets of stairs and into a small room in the basement to show us his purses. We had fun and bought all you girls a purse, Prada, Gucci, DS, what ever. I know they are fake but look good. Also on the street we got some pirated movies. Who knows what they are like. We also went to Little Italy. Saw a show at the AMC Theater. Six floors and 45 movies theaters. A little different than Rexburg. Walked to Rockefeller Center and then to the hotel. A long day but great.

New York Day 5 Coney Island

We went to the Manhattan 1st Ward for church. We saw the Merrell's and Walkers from Rexburg there. What a small world. Ate breakfast at Fluffy's and then got on the subway to Coney Island. We are doing much better on the subways now. at Coney Island I "Shot the Freak" and we saw a few "Freak Shows". A must at Coney Island. Really bad though. We walked down the Boardwalk and also saw the ocean. It is beautiful. Had hot dogs at Nathan's, they are famous. Having a fun day.

50 1/2 Birthday Party June 13, 2009

Just a few more pictures of the party. So many people told how wonderful Mary Anne is. She is loved and respected by so many. Her sewing students and their parents, lots of other quilting ladies, the people in her ward, the people she works in the temple with, many many friends and especially her family. They did a very nice tribute to her in the program. It was wonderful to see what all she has accomplished. Way to go MARY ANNE !!!!!!!!! We love you.

Quinquagenarian Quilt Quest

Tom and Mary Anne. It was a wonderful party. A few examples of her quilts. The whole cultural hall and Relief Society room were set up with displays of her quilts. You just cannot believe the awesome work she does.


Autumn by the quilt she made.

New York Day 4

We rode the train and subway to go to Mary Anne's 50 1/2 birthday party. It was in New Rochelle at the church. We got off the train and walked to the church. Had a wonderful day with her family and friends. Rodney had made a DVD of pictures of Mary Anne's life. It was so fun to watch. When the party was over we visited at Tom and Mary Anne's house for awhile and then took the train and subway back to our hotel.

New York Day 3 Musical Sherk

We went to the play SHERK. Mark it on your calender to do. It was great. After the play we rode around the city in a rickshaw. The young man that took us around was so fun. Dodging in and out of traffic and taking us around the city to see the sights. We went down Broadway, went to Time Square, saw the Empire State Building and then back to our hotel. We had some famous New York Cheese cake before going to bed. What a great day.

New York Day 3- Tour

New York Day 3 Friday June 12

Our hotel the Wellington is so convenient. We are just blocks from Time Square, Broadway, Central Park and as we found out the Temple. We walked towards Central Park and then directly to the Manhattan Temple. Talk about the feeling of 'leaving the world behind'. We left the hustle an bustle of the city and went into the temple and did a session. It is a beautiful temple. We loved it. So many of the workers knew Tom and Mary Anne and asked if we were here in New York for the birthday party.
