Friday Favorites

-
One of my favorite things to do as a child was read books. Babysitters Club started it all!!! My mom understood, but I used to irritate my dad and stepmom because I would ALWAYS be reading. Even if we were just going to be in the car for a few minutes, I would bring my book and read the whole way. It is something that has stayed with me, but since I became a mother, I have not had the time I once did. Right now, I have several books that I am reading. I have never done that before, because I used to finish books so fast. These are the books on my nightstand right now.

Birnbaum's 2008 Walt Disney World.
The kids favorite right now. You HAVE to read this if you are going to WDW.

Really enjoying this book. Very encouraging

Nora Roberts- just for fun, easy reads. Classic ROMANCE

love the First Lady, but AM NOT enjoying this book

This is a SMART book, with lots of good thoughts.

Mary Higgins Clark- classic suspense novels. GREATNESS!!
Favorite authors- Harlen Coben, Nora Roberts, Mary Higgins Clark

Favorite series- Myron Bolitar books by Harlen Coben

You have GOT to try Fancine Rivers. I never imagined a fiction novel could be spiritually inlfuential on my life, but they are amazing! I highly recommend "Redeeming Love".

There was a guy in my class in high school who would always tease me because he would see me at TCU football games - reading instead of watching the game. And I'd be like, "SORRY, BUT 'SEABISCUIT' IS WAY MORE INTERESTING THAN COLLEGE GUYS TACKLING EACH OTHER."

The last good book I read was "Watchmen," which was actually a graphic novel, but I say it counts.

have you read the "sisterhood of the traveling pants" series? I loved it. Made me think of us in high school.

If you love the chicky kind of books try the three books by Emily Giffin. I can read them in about a day cause I just not put it down. And I think that I will try the postive parent book. I think that I might be needing it with Alex working out of town for so long.

I had never heard of Francine Rivers until several different people have mentioned it in their blogs. I have looked for her at the library, but no luck. Hopefully, I can find some at Half Price books, because I definitely want to read some of her stuff now.
I LOVED Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants!! So fun, and definitely reminded me of us.
The Positive Mom book really is good. I just like how it has examples that really apply to me, and the verses and prayers really help, too.
Deborah, I didn't even notice your errors (I must be tired, too!). But, I'm not surprised AT ALL that you came back and fixed them. It's so you!!

Fun Family Weekend

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...

What's so great about living out in the country??

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend
