Twilight Series....

About 2 weeks ago, friday march 14th to be exact, my sister ashley and I got together to work on painting the crib which was our normal routine on one of my half day fridays. Well, while I was over she really wanted me to sit down and to read the book Twilight. Of course I was NOT interested. I HATE to read with a pasion. I would rather do million other things before sitting down to read a book. She pushed it really hard and to show my thanks for everything she has done for me I tickled her fancy and started to get comfy on the couch and read. It was okay at first. Ashley was all up in my business, "Do you love it? Are you addicted? You know you love it!! You are gonna go home and buy it...." It was good but not good enough to where I couldn't put it down.

So the next day, after leaving ashley's copy of the book with her so she could enjoy it a 2nd time, I went to the store to buy the first and second book. I was already half way done with the book and figured I could finish it and keep busy with the other while clark got his jollies from the PS3. Then I got to the 2nd book, New Moon, and I found myself doing the one thing I hated most, couped up reading. I was getting hooked. I read the 2nd book in 2 days and couldn't wait an hour after finishing the 2nd for the 3rd. Clark went and got it for me while I was working overtime at work. I then finished the 3rd book, Eclispe, in 2 days too. I was hopeless reading my book on breaks at work, while at work (don't worry still have my job), when I got home, and on my late days waking up early to read.

Now I am stuck waiting for the 4th book and I hate it...I really don't want to say this but I will........................................................Thanks Ashley for getting me to sit down and read at your place, I really owe you one! There I said it... yes it was hard. So I would recommend this series of books to anyone. If you aren't sure you wanna buy it you can always borrow mine.

Ashley and I now can only sit and think of what will happen next in the series and we've got a few good ideas ourselves! Time is gonna kill me waiting......







I figure I should probably put up a pregnancy picture so here it is...

Twilight Series







Okay so last friday, a week ago today, I went over to my sister's Ashley's to finish painting the crib and changing table. While I was there Ashley was determined to get me to read the Twilight book, which anyone who knows me knows I HATE to read. I could think of a million things I would rather do than to sit inside and read. I would rather swim, go walking, do house chores, girls night out, heck I would rather hang out with my Brother marc after he's been eating at taco bell I mean thats how much I don't like to read. So I started reading to appease my sister who has done sooo much for me.

I would read in between each hour we had to go do the crib. I will admit I wasn't hooked but it wasn't "kill me". So that night Ashley was like, "its good huh? you hooked? you gonna get it?" just wouldn't stop. the next day I worked and after work I would figure I could go get the books and atleast finish them.

From the end of the 1st book to the 2nd I was hooked...They are really good books and I found myself doing the one thing I use to hate, inside reading a silly love book. It helped that Clark was distracted with his PS3 too. I read the books at work, on my break, at lunch, and when I got home. Before I knew it I flew through all three and dying for more...now I am addicted and the 4th isn't out yet. I am going insane!! I just wanted to thank my sister for pushing so hard for me to read the book, I owe ya. I would recommend this series of books to anyone.


So Ashley and I were thinking of ideas for her 4th book.....

I guess I shouldn't say them on the blog for those of you who are reading them now or will be but if you are wondering just ask. We've come up with some pretty good ones!!

Pregnancy Update

Just thought I would give everyone a pregnancy update on how everything is going. Well I have gotten big but feels as though Brooklyn is HUGE and her growth isn't even close to being done!! I feel like my skin can't stretch any further. Brooklyn loves to move all the time and she loves being on my right side, thats where she usually makes her way to.
So as a farmer I normally love ice cream (ask any one of us 8 farmer kids) but lately I have been craving it more and more. Right now I am totally loving ice cream bars, I can't seem to get enough. At the same time I also crave anything salty, so if any of you have a good snack that will fill both sweet and salty needs let me know.
Other than that nothing really, I am healthly and have had a great pregnancy with no complications, couldn't be happier. Although I have about 9-10 weeks left I can't wait for her to be here already!! It has gone by so fast but at the same time not fast enough....

Family week

So we had a busy week last week with my sister Meagan and brother Marc and his family in town. It was fun having them here. It was too bad Meagan couldn't stay longer but it was nice seeing her. I gave her 2 huge bags of clothes to go through so this time she didn't take something i really wore...She loved it...


So Tuesday marc, Jen, Darrik, Maddsen and I went to the Cubs game, stopped by Uncle Bayes grave, enjoyed the cool weather at the temple, and then headed back to our place to have a BBQ with the rest of the family. It was a blast to have them here and be able to get to know jen a little more. Maddsen is so Adorable and has soo much hair!! Just look
The BBQ was a great time for everyone to get together and hang out. We then got to be with them on Thursday night after work. Of course we played Loaded Questions because Jen hadn't yet. It was fun...Clark and I didn't get to bed till 1am, man was the next day at work hard. We only wish they could have been here a little bit longer. Love you guys and It was tons of fun!!
