Halloween

New Obsession

For the past few months I have been obsessed with reading. I've always gone through phases where I read a lot and then I don't read at all. This time the reading phase is not going away! I keep finding more and more books I want to read!

I've read a lot of sad books: My Sister's Keeper, The Last Song, Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John, The Hunger Games trilogy... of course I cried through all of them!

My sister-in-law Cristina started doing eyelash extensions. She asked if I could be her guinea pig and I thought why not??? Well you're not suppose to get your eyelashes wet for the first 24 hours. Reading sad books was definitely not good! My eyelashes came off!

Amos and I are now both reading The Girl Who Played With Fire. We read The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo and liked it. I never thought I would like a murder mystery type book, but this trilogy is great! A little graphic, but very good.

Izzy loves reading too! She's been reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. She's flying through them. Hopefully Cam will get a little more into it too.

My little artist

Izzy is so into arts! It's so fun to watch her color, paint, and come up with new creative arts and crafts. She's always making something.

Last week she got Principal's Pride Award for her coloring. She did a great job on her art project. I'm glad her teacher recognized her efforts.

Zions National Park

For UEA weekend last month I took the kids to Zions National Park with some friends and family. The kids had such a fun time! The weather was perfect!

We hiked through the Narrows and the Emerald Pools. The water was freezing at the Narrows. But it was gorgeous! Cam and Izzy were so good! They surprised me with no whining during the hikes, and we did hike a lot!

Too bad Amos didn't make it, although I'm sure he enjoyed 4 days to himself! Who wouldn't right???
