We've Been...

We've (the kids and hubby) been sick!  These last two weeks have been sleepless nights, high fevers, breathing treatments, double ear infections, nasty coughs and lots of snuggling.

BUT!!  There were a lot of other things going on too:)

Believe it or not, life goes on even when the family has the flu!

So we've been...

 Pulling ourselves up onto furniture (at 7 months!!)

 

Crashing

Climbing

Eating lots of fresh eggs

Running

Having dirt road date nights with my man

 

Watching Peter Pan... Over and over

Getting ready for kindergarten

Doing some late night reading

Sick and pathetic:(

Doing yard work

Bonding with Sugar

 

Yes, life goes on... WAY too fast!

What I Am Reading

We do a weekly library run, so for me this mean I get a new book weekly.

Since we no longer have TV, I have been spending my downtime in the evenings reading.  It is much more relaxing!

So I thought I would share a few of the books I have been reading, so you can check them out also.



This is a super cute book about a city girl who meets a cowboy and falls in love, ect.

It is a true story about Ree Drummond who is "The Pioneer Woman" from the blog and food network.  I totally have a thing for cowboys... probably why I married one... and this book reminds me of our life in so many ways!

 

A good midwife story is always awesome, but this one is about a midwife to the Amish.

Great birth stories from a totally different point of view then I think any of us can have. 

So I got stuck on the Amish Midwife thing, haha!  I love me some birth books and I have a fascination with the Amish.  Perfect fit I guess!  I just started this one, so I can't say too much about it yet except that it is a page turner.

 

Lastly... I read this series over a year ago, but I have to throw it out there to anyone who hasn't heard of it yet!



The first movie is coming out to theaters on March 23rd, so go read the book first!

Blueberries For Sal

My all time favorite book when I was a little girl was Blueberries For Sal.

This was my mom's from when she was little, that she gave to me when I was a little girl.

I have read it to my kids countless times, but it was getting old and fragile.  So away on a shelf it went.

A week or two before Christmas, we were over at Yammie's house playing in the play room. And what do I find??  A NEW Blueberries For Sal.  I couldn't believe my eyes!

So I took it... haha... without asking!

She knows now and is more then happy to hand it over. 

 

We will be reading this for many bedtimes to come.

LOVE this book!
