Twilight Love!

I love Twilight! A good romance puts me in a good mood. I don't care if it's not popular anymore. Team Edward!

I had another baby

Introducing our fourth child, Conrad Alexander!

I noticed I hadn't introduced him on the blog yet so here he is. He is such a wonderful sweet lovable baby. He makes us happy. Life with four kids had been tough at times, but incredibly joyful other times. These munchkins keep us on our toes. I have had to re-evaluate my parenting. I have purchased over ten books about parenting over the last year and a half, and have checked out about that many from the library. It seems my kids all hit unfamiliar stages all at once, and each child is so different you can't really use the same strategy as you did on another child. Life is hard, but I'm working on it. Those precious moments when they look into your eyes and smile, and you know you're everything to them makes it all worth it.

Best Book Ever!

I was at a yard sale a few weeks ago where a lady had over 800 books (she told me) and let me get as many books as I wanted for $1 total. I took home waaaayy too many books. But I got some gems, one of them being "Heidi" By Johanna Spyri. I picked it up and couldn't put it down. I adored it. It was divine. I cried. I laughed. It's my new favourite book.  I think I related to it in so many ways. It made me appreciate living here in Utah so close to the mountains. If you are looking for a book to read I highly recommend "Heidi".

TwiMANIA- Part 1

I've been bitten. Oh, I know you know what I'm talkin' about.
Ever since a neighbor mom friend of mine let me borrow the triple combination of Stephanie Meyer's heartwrenching novels I was hooked. Then Breaking Dawn came out. I love the movies as well. Justin took me to both Twilight and New Moon soon after they came out. He is so sweet.

A few weeks ago one my awesome friends who is also sort of a Trekkie rented a 22 electronic recliner theater room and we watched New Moon. Then she made this whole Twilight Trivia game and it was all very cool. She even made Werewolf Cupcakes and Flesh Bite Cookies. It was all very posh. I took the oppurtunity to dress like Rosalee, and my sister in law was Alice. I always liked Rosalee.

Creative Spiritual Motivation

I recently made a new goal to re-read the Book of Mormon and I found these unique reading charts to help with progress. It's sort of elementary to sit and color after every chapter but having the chart has helped me a ton. I would definitly recommend one of these charts to any age, or you can design your own. I have been using the one with all the bubbles and think I'll try the flower next.
