Love this one!


I just finished Nicholas Sparks' "The Lucky One", and I love it! He is by far my favorite author and is getting better with every book. His newest "The Last Song" is on my wish list, and I can't wait to get it! Everyone should experience at least one of his novels!

More August randoms...

Our second home is at Jessica and Buffy's apartment. Mark even has toys to play with there. They are the best friends and aunts!

We also celebrated Christopher's birthday with his family. The pictures below are of Mark having ice cream at Big Daddy and Mimzy's.






It was really good!







Randoms from August

Christopher's birthday is August 21st and we celebrated with some of our favorite people! We went to eat with our friends at TGIFridays and then had some yummy cake :) Below are pictures from that night.




Happy 25th Birthday husband!



Mark celebrating his Daddy's birthday!

The Adams family

Also in August, Mark moved up a class at school. He is now in the "Toddler" room and loves it :) He goes outside 3 times a day, which is right up his alley, and they do fun activities. He's growing up so fast and amazes me everyday!

On the way to school...



He was excited about his first day in his new room!

Driving with Daddy

Just for the record, the car never actually moved. I mean we are no Britney Spears kind of parents :) We were waiting on a friend after church Sunday so I decided to snap a few pics of Mark playing with Christopher in the car. At least I have a while before he really starts driving. I will be a nervous wreck...

My handsome boys!

July '09 randoms

So July came and went so quickly for me and I haven't been blogging like I should (as usual). Mark is getting so big and grown-up. He moves up to his new classroom at daycare Monday and I can't believe it! Here are some pics from our life lately.


Eating yogurt all by myself! My son is so independent. I think he got that from me...



Cheese :)



Trying to use a spoon. I think he missed a few times! HA



Givin' some love



He loves to walk his puppy, even if it's the wrong way :)

Another good read!



I have been really into reading lately, although it does take me a while to finish a book... I am a Mom, enough said! Anyway I just finished reading this novel, There's No Place Like Here, by the same author as P.S. I Love You. I haven't read the book, but I have seen the movie. She is a talented writer and I loved this book. It's very different from most books I read. I like to read girly love stories and this book is definitely not along those lines, but I'm glad I stepped away from the norm. Here is a synopsis borrowed from Barnes and Noble's website:

Bestselling author Cecelia Ahern, whose sparkling novels have more than 5.5 million copies in print worldwide, returns with an ambitious, absorbing, and romantic tale of things -- and people -- lost and found People disappear every day, some because they choose to leave their old lives behind, and some for more unpleasant reasons. Things, too, disappear: mittens and cell phones, wallets and luggage. In every case, someone is left behind; someone is left to wonder what happened.

Ever since her classmate Jenny-May vanished when they were ten years old, Sandy Shortt has been obsessed with finding things. Now grown, Sandy's obsession has become a calling, with her own agency devoted to locating missing persons. But with every failed case, Sandy is plagued with questions: Where do missing people go? Are they alive or dead? Did they intend to disappear, or did they suffer some cruel fate? As these questions threaten to consume her, Sandy suddenly finds that she, herself, has disappeared, and that she has found all the answers she's always searched for in a magical place where all lost things and people go.

A romance that explores the meaning of loss and love, There's No Place Like Here is Cecelia Ahern's most satisfying, most inspired, most entrancing novel yet.

I hope you'll check it out!
