Outlander

I realize that I have been posting about books lately but I can't help it. I have read so many good books lately that I feel like I would be doing you a disservice not to share. Outlander is probably my favorite book I have ever read. It is about a girl, and her journey through time. It is so beautifully written. It is a fiction book, but it is mixed with historical facts. There are love scenes, lots of them, so if you are easily offended don't read. Honestly though it is such a beautiful book, and it's a series. I highly recommend it. If you end up reading it you have to tell me what you think.

These 2 are TROUBLE!

Seriously though these two are BEST FRIENDS! Brooklyn is the baby girl version of Mark. She looks like him, acts like him, probably eats as much as him, and would spend every waking second with him if she could. The girl has been saying "dad", "dada", "dadadadada", since she was 4 months old, and understood its meaning at about 4 1/2 months old. Can we say daddy's girl?!

Oh and PS- Yes that is Mark and Brooklyn playing in Brooklyn's crib, and yes Mark let Brooklyn play in the dryer with all of her clothes. Don't worry it was off and we were both right there. ;)

Confession

I LOVE books that are written for Jr. High and High School girls. Don't get me wrong I love so many other genres of books, but the sappy high school romance novels are definitely my guilty pleasures. I can't wait until the day when I can pass down Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants to Brooklyn. I really hope she inherited my love for reading. Well I just read a book recommended by my sister-in-law called My Double Life it's written by Jannette Rallison. It is a really fast easy read, and if you like the high school romance books, you will love it. However if you think these kind of books are cheesy and stupid, then don't read it. Also I need a good book to read so please tell me about some of your favorites. Remember I love all books so I am open to reading anything.

Note: I know there are over 1,000 grammar errors in this post, but Brooklyn is sitting on my lap trying to type with me so I don't care. Don't judge! :)

Jackson Hole

This year for our anniversary we went to Jackson Hole, WY. It was way fun and so nice to get away for the weekend.

My favorite picture ever, Brooklyn cracks me up

The house we stayed at was full of dead animals. I am not going to lie I was afraid they were going to come alive while we were sleeping. Here is a small sample of them... yes there were LOTS more.

Yes that is a bear...

And that pretty much sums it up... and him up! ;)

Swimming and the Zoo

My Best Friend Christa and I had baby girls 11 days apart, and now they are best friends. Friday we took them swimming at Christa's mother-in-law's home and they LOVED it!

THE ZOO

A couple of weeks ago me, Brooklyn, Tori, Wyatt, Tara, and Max went the the zoo. It was so much fun.

Giraffe

This monkey was so funny! I wish I would have zoomed in so you could see his lip quiver when he sang.

We had so much fun at the zoo! Even though Brooklyn slept the entire time I really enjoyed it. :)
