April Books

I have been reading a few books each month and want to continue posting them on the blog so I can look back at what I read :)


I read Giuliana Rancic's book early in the month and loved it!  I love reading about other people and was surprised at how mischievous she was/is!


I have enjoyed reading Melanie Shankle's stories for a few years on her blog and in her previous 2 books.  This one was about the importance of our different friendships throughout our lives.


Three Wishes is a fiction story that I read in less than a week!  It was a light, fun read and I am going to check out some other books by Liane Moriarty.

Weekend Boating

We have been busy enjoying our "new-to-us" boat!!!

Saturday we went out for a bit during the day and parked at a beach to play!




Then, Saturday night Ava had her friend Addy over!




After Addy left on Saturday, we were back out on the boat.  Brady joined us this time!!











We are having so much fun and are so thankful!

Weekend Update!

We had a busy, busy last couple days!  Our anniversary was last week and Caiti watched Ava while Matt and I went to dinner and a movie!  I got Matt a "Man Crate" and it was awesome watching him open it!!




While we were out we picked up a fishing kit for Ava and she has been loving it!!!



Friday was my last day at Spring Creek Elementary!  I celebrated with all of my kids during the day and with my teacher friends that night!



While Matt and I were celebrating, Ava was at her first sleepover!!!  Her and Addy had so much fun and played together so well!  Matt dropped her off and he said that when they walked in the door and she saw Addy she said, "My best friend!!!!"





We bought a boat and went to pick it up near Tampa on Saturday.  It was a very long day with lots of driving to look at a trailer, get the boat, and then a slow and long drive home with the boat :)




Burrito bowls for dinner in the truck on the way home!


I started the new job today and am exhausted!  Hopefully this week will be much slower than last :)

Lately...

My friend got me this personalized mug with an IU sign and my name!



Matt and Ava have been leaving corn out front for the squirrels to eat!


Ava's new favorite activity is "going on the sidewalk", a.k.a. going for a walk :)





We have been enjoying our pool a lot lately!  Ava even did some swimming last weekend without floaties!



We have been cuddling with the Brady on the couch and reading a lot lately :)





We have been having lots of fun with friends!

Book Review - Health & Lifestyle Edition

I love reading about health-related topics.  I follow a few blogs, subscribe to many magazines, and recently read a few books about weight loss and healthy eating.


It Was Me All Along talked about eating food mindlessly, which I could relate to.  The author made changes when some might have thought she was too far gone and found balance and acceptance.  It was a great book!



The Shift was about a TV personality who was told by her boss she needed to lose weight, and her journey to do so.  I enjoyed the book, but some of the tips she gave did not seem practical for me.  I enjoy my drinks too much :)

I love reading Lifestyle books, magazines, and blogs also!  Here are a few books I read recently:


Each chapter of this book is a different lesson that the author learned while participating in a foreign exchange student program in Paris.  Not all of the lessons are practical for me, but I enjoyed reading this book!


This book was a fun read that gives the same types of ideas to make your life at home more enjoyable.
