Finding My Best Books

In the summer I take my kids to the library a lot.  I love to discover books I've never heard of before.  After we return them to the library, some of the stories stick in my mind but I can't remember the title or author.  I'm sad I can't remember because I'd like to recheck them out or buy them. 

 I've decided to start a new blog that records our favorite finds at the library this summer.  You are welcome to check it out.   Leave us a comment with your favorite books or authors we should check out.

Wood Keepsake Boxes

A friend of mine has just started a new business selling wood keepsake boxes.  They are LDS themed and perfect gifts for baptisms, birthdays or any momentous occasion.  Take a look at her wonderful creations on the blog spot Simple Notes.

I can't believe....

I can't believe how grown up Ilana looks lately.  She is such a beautiful little girl, inside and out.  This summer she turns 10.  10!!  She plays the trumpet, is active in our local Girl Scouts, and reads books that I love to read with her.  I'm pretty lucky to have such a great helper.  She does a bunch of chores and is constantly helping me with her little brothers. 

This picture of Liam cracks me up.  He totally looks like he's had a hard day at work.

I love love these hats.  So stinkin' cute.

Brothers.

 This is Grey trying his hand at "planking".   If you don't know what that is... then I'm more hip than you!  Ha ha.  Not really, it just means I have a 16 year old niece that tries to keep me in the "know".  Look it up on you tube. 

 It's been a long time since I've blogged.  I will try to do better and put some more catch up photos on.
