Matched...

I recently finished reading Matched by Ally Condie. It was a great read! Especially if you liked the "Hunger Games" series. There is a sequel coming out in November this year and the third book in November of 2012. I would definitely highly recommend!

Whatever Wednesday: Mockingjay (No spoilers-unless you read the comments)...

LOVED the book, LOVED the series!

If you've read it and want to read my lengthy review join me in the comments...

The 46th Time...

(Sun) bleached blond buddies...

(Diva) buddies...

Yes that's "Mockingjay" I was reading :)

Full of personality!

A bit wore out.

Some kid threw up in the Wave Pool so they had to clear it out. Avery tried to run back out and got some special attention from the cute lifeguard.

Dinosaurs...

I bought this dinosaur pop up book a few years ago super cheap on clearance at Amazon.com. It is the coolest book and has several pop ups on every page. It is so detailed and is full of information that even I don't know about a bunch of different dinosaurs. Maddy absolutely loves it and wanted to take some pictures of some of his favorite pages...

Whatever Wednesday: Hunger Games...

I read this book last week and it was awesome! Very hard to put down. I would highly recommend it! I've started the second book in the trilogy and am not looking forward to waiting for the third and final book to come out this summer. I've also read the movie rights have been purchased and I'm really excited about that. More info. here.

I'm Reading this for a Second Time...

One more month to go-let the countdown begin....

Calling All Breaking Dawn Readers(no spoilers)...

I finished Breaking Dawn last week. I really enjoyed reading it. I read all four books in a row over the last few weeks. I don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't read it or is still reading it but I want to hear what those of you that have finished it think about it. So to read my thoughts on it and leave yours come talk to me in the comment section of this post...

Breaking Dawn Party...

My sister Stacy and a bunch of girls from her ward planned a girls night out for the release of "Breaking Dawn." She invited me and my sisters so of course I tagged along! I'm willing to use about any excuse to get a break and go out and have fun! Actually this is why I decided to read the books. I'm almost done with the second one so I've got the vampire fever and it was fun to go-thanks for the invite Stacy! We ate at Bajio and then headed over to Barnes & Noble. It was actually my first experience with one of these crazy book release parties. There was a bunch of activities set up like face painting, fortune telling, trivia contest, costume contest, etc. There were so many people you could hardly walk through the store. The best part for me was the people watching. There were people decked out in all kinds of home made tee shirts, makeup and costumes-including prom dress, wedding dresses and of course lots of vampires.

Here is most of our "Team Edward" group...their tee shirts were really cute and said "Real Men Sparkle" on the front and "I Love Edward" on the back. The "vampire" in the middle was one of the Barnes & Noble employees.

My sisters, Shalane, Jamie and Stacy.

A little of our own vampire fun...

As you can see I'm not very good at playing the victim.

Stacy's picture with the vampires(I think they were suppose to be Edward and Alice.) She actually knows the female vampire's sister, She trained her back in the good old mission days, small world huh!
