First the most enjoyable thing was the Princess. She decided to start walking last week, we watched her on Saturday and had the best time getting her to walk back and forth between us.
Then her parents came and spent the evening with us. Issy kept teasing everybody and walking over and hugging Uncle Nate. We watched a movie later and she only wanted Grandpa. when I would try to take her she would holler up a storm to go back to Grandpa. So I might need to take that whole "things I enjoyed this weekend" stuff back. I was very jealous of Mike and Nate, and I now know that my Princess is partial to men! I love this picture below it is so fun!
So we really enjoyed Stephanie Meyer "Twilight" series of books. Her new book "The Host" came out Mothers Day weekend, so we bought it. I told Mike he could read it first, because I was finishing a book for our ward book group. We had heard it isn't as good as the Twilight books, but it is still a page turner. So Mike finished it in a few days, but man it's taking me a while. I just haven't found the time, I'm about 100 pages into it and have 500 more to go! I do like all of the familiar Arizona stuff she puts in, as she is describing the bushes , trees, and smells in the desert, I picture and smell them.
I love clouds. White fluffy clouds, heavy dark clouds, just clouds in general. They are a gift to me from God. So I was loving the sky this weekend, this is the view from my living room/back porch.
Then I was naughty, and bought these special brownies at COSTCO. They are small bite sized and fudgy. I am weak in their presence. So I did indulge, but I still have some left, I have the smallest bit of self control:-) As for the jerky my friend Gina introduced me to this brand. They found it on a trip. Well Wal Mart has started to carry it. It is often sold out when I try to get it. But I got some on Thursday night, I was amazing. I have never had jerky so fresh, and soft, it literally melted in our mouths. It was gone by Saturday because we just couldn't stop eating it. I doubt I will ever find jerky that fresh again, but I have my memories:-)
School will soon be out and summer will be upon us. We are thinking of going to Chicago this summer for our family vacation. Mike has a show there so we thought we might tag a long. If any of you who might read this know anything fun to do there please let us know. It's weird to have a family vacation with just 3 people.

I would like to try the brownie bites next to the jerky. :) So, little Izzy decided to walk...yippee...now that "cute" will turn into..."where is she" ha... thats sweet...shes a doll. Gina
The Host was really Good. It was an easy read and it was a real page turner.
I read it in about 5 hours! :)
