I gave in...




So I have heard EVERYONE talking about the twilight series books. Everyone says they are so good, but I always thought... how good could a story about vampires actually be? SO GOOD! I completely imagined the typical vampire story and never even wanted to try reading them. Coffins, bats, absolutely nothing normal about the weird creatures. I started reading twilight yesterday morning and I was up until 4 am when I finished it. I would keep saying, "I'm going to bed after this chapter"........ I finally went to bad after I had no chapters left to read, and now it's Sunday and it's driving me crazy not going to the store and buying book 2. Trust me, I'll be there tomorrow.

So whoever out there is questioning reading a book because they don't think a vampire book would be very good, it's not what you are thinking! Go read it.

4th of July in Flagstaff

After the volleyball tournament, the watermelon race, and swimming, we drove up to Flagstaff to my grandparent's cabin. 75 degrees, cloudy, breezy... WONDERFUL!!! The weather was just perfect. I have always gone to flagstaff since I was a kid for the 4th.


It was very relaxing...except Coby stayed busy! As soon as we got there my two younger cousins said, "finally someone fun to play with" and that was that for Coby.


I have this thing for big fluffy clouds... and they were so pretty up there!





Ok, so he did get a couple naps in here and there. It's always nice when you can go in the shade and it's actually cool with a nice breeze!


I loved the wild flowers growing in the fields by the cabin.



Here is my mom in the hammock reading her magazine!


This was as we pulled out for the drive home. So pretty! It was a fun and relaxing get away for a day!!!! Too bad we couldn't bring that weather down with us. Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July!!!
