Kindle Book Review (s)

Slammed by Colleen Hoover: LOVED IT! If you long for the forbidden romance from the Twilight series you need to read this book. It creates the same effect minus the vampires, werewolfs and other "yeah right" scenarios.

War Brides by Helen Bryan: I love WWII historical fiction! If you do too, you'll like this one.

The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom: Eh, I wasn't crazy about this one. Again, I love historical fiction, but this one has so much tragedy it becomes completely unbelievable. It's like the author thought of every horrible thing that could happen to a person and put it all in one book. Don't bother.

The Mill River Recluse: A bit boring, very predictable

On the Island by Tracey Garvis Graves: LOVED IT! I'm realizing how much I love a good forbidden romance.

Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella: I didn't love this one. I think it would be a good beach read, but it was a little too light for me.

Relocated beach portraits

I bought really cute matching outfits for the kids so I could take pictures of them on the beach when we went down for my mom's birthday. Since it rained the entire time we were there, I never got to do them :( So, I had to settle for Sam's bedroom.

Haute Hair by Elizabeth

I think that's what I'll call my new salon ;)

Ha! She can't twirl her hair into a rat's nest anymore! I realize now that I've seen these pictures that I need to go back and even a few places out, but overall I'm happy with it. I'm even happier that I didn't have to pay $20 :)

Finley says...

Last night when Finley got out of her bed for the millionth time
Joey: Finley go get in your bed, NOW
Finley: walks as slow as she possibly can
Joey: Finley, GO
Finley: I'M GOING!
Joey and Elizabeth: turning purple from trying not to laugh

Today at the pool
Finley: (whining) Daddy, I want to get in the pool (says it 10 times)
Elizabeth: Finley, stop saying that, you can get in the pool after the break
Finley: I'M TALKING TO DADDY!
Elizabeth: Well, I'm talking to you and you better stop whining

oh my...
