Good Reads!!

Well I haven't blogged in forever & I totally blame it on the books I've been reading.
In October a friend of mine suggested reading this series. I came home & got on the waiting list at the library & forgot about them.
On Dec. 30th I went to the Library with the kids and they said they had a hold for me that had just come in. They gave me the book & I thought I might read it, but it just doesn't sound like something I would like. Well by Jan 1st I had finished the book & could not stop talking about it. So Travis, who never reads, picked it up and finished it within 2 1/2 days. These books are about 400 pages but so addicting.
So mid January all I could think about was wanting to read the 2nd book. So one day I was on Facebook & noticed that one of my neighbors/friends down the street had just finished the 2nd book. The next time I saw her I asked if she owned it & she offered to let me borrow her book. (Thanks Jessica!!)
So the 2nd book was just as good as the first & I have already pre-ordered my copy of the 3rd book which is coming out in August.
So if you are up for a good read I totally suggest Hunger Games & Catching Fire. You will love them!!

Hannah is such a good big sister.   She loves to hold Olivia & play with her.  One day she got really quiet & I went in to check on her & she had fallen asleep with Olivia on her.  Tooo cute!!  Olivia 3 months old!  Trying to catch a smile on camera.  So Cute!!!

Who really reads my blog???

Well I haven't been good at updating my blog the past little while & often wonder if anyone really even reads my blog. I enjoy reading blogs of friends and family & get bothered when they don't update for months at a time. Well now I'm that person that isn't updating my blog. (oops!!) So I wanted to pass along a little bit of news and happenings at our home lately. Parker is enjoying being a 1st grader. He loves school & has just recently found a true love of reading. His favorite books right now are the Junie B. Jones (series) & The Magic School bus (series). He can't wait for spring to be here so he can start playing soccer again. Hannah keeps us busy. She is definitely a girl and has the attitude that goes along with it. She enjoys her dance class every week and preschool 2 X's a week. She's finally been convinced to write her name H-a-n-n-a-h instead of H-A-n-n-A-H. This battle took a while cause she insisted that she needed c

Hannah has been telling me for months that she needs a haircut and that Janae needed to do it. On Sunday afternoon we went to my mom's house and Janae was there to cut Hannah's hair. She told Janae that she wanted a princess haircut. Here's one of the only before pics I took. The princess cut in progress. (That is my brother Kevin in the background) All the hair that was cut off. Drying the hair Janae & Hannah after the princess cut was done. (So Cute!!!) Thanks Janae you are so good at what you do. WE LOVE YOU!!!!
