Shattered Silence

By Melissa G. Moore and M. Bridget Cook

I am so proud of myself for finishing this book! I think I started it on Friday and I was so not in the mood for it...but I stuck with it and finished last night. It wasn't the book's fault, I wasn't fully prepared for too many gory details but it didn't turn out to be that grotesque in that kind of way. This book is, however, completely sad due to all the craziness this poor woman has had to endure throughout her life. If you aren't familiar with this book, it's about a girl whose father was a serial killer. He murdered many women.

Besides having such a troubled life with her father, she also had it hard with her mom, step-parents, friends, boyfriends...it was brutal. It's amazing that she found the will to survive. I have to say this was an interesting book but I haven't put this on my must-read book list. It is a fairly easy read and a positive one in the end so you'll have to decide for yourself!

Roar!!!!

Thanks to Jordan's friend Maddy who is way into dinosaurs lately, Jordan has been a roaring machine. Chad and Jordan have been play wrestling and roaring all week. It cracks me up because he has to call me to save him and I have to roar at Chad to make him back away but then Jordan heads for him again.

The other day I was up in bed working on the computer when Jordan came running in and found this hiding spot: (Can you see him?)

Here's a close up! It cracks me up that he can fit into these spaces!

As soon as Chad crawled over though he hopped out and started roaring at him!
This is his mean dinosaur face. Who wouldn't be afraid of this face?

More Snowy Pictures

I was thinking about how we haven't really had much snow this week. I don't think we've had any snow since last week. Well, in honor of our absent snow and my absent babe (Jordan is at Gramma and Papa's) here is a snowy post!

Chad and Jordan were out sledding in our backard!!!

Ready to go!
Chad pulling Jordan back up the hill!
I love Jordy's sweet face. The snow was falling like crazy that day, it looks so cool to me.
Chad started pushing Jordan down the hill backwards...do you think he liked it!?

Miss Spitfire:Reaching Helen Keller

By Sarah Miller

This book is a historical fiction piece all about Anne Sullivan, Helen Keller's teacher. I really liked being able to red more about who Anne Sullivan was as a person and about her life before she started working with Helen Keller. It was very interesting. I also liked how this book describes how difficult it was when she first started working with Helen. Overall, it's an interesting book to read but not necessarily a must read if you ask me.

Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy

By Ally Carter

I have so been in the mood for some good chick lit lately, maybe it's the pregnancy thing...but I saw this at the library and grabbed it. This book is the 2nd in the Gallagher Girl series. It's about Cammy Morgan, a girl who goes to a private all-girl school for...SPIES! It is very fun. In the first book Cammy is out in town on a class assignment when she meets Josh and she starts sneaking out of the school to go out with him. It's super cute. In this book, the CIA has made her promise to never see Josh again...which was pretty sad, I must say. The girls have to deal with boy spies who join their school for a short time. Honestly, I am sad about the Josh thing and I hope Carter brings him back into it more...and, I'm dying to know what happened to Cammy's dad. No one knows where he is or what happened to him, just that he disappeared. I think it's gotta be out there somewhere...maybe book 3?
