I haven't posted the books I've been reading in a while. I now have a sidebar that tells the book I'm currently reading which is great and all but I thought I'd quickly take a moment and list the books I've read this year. In my life before 3 kids I could easily read a book a week, ah good times. (I say this with hesitancy because I really do LOVE having 3 little kids, and I'm sure one day when my kids are grown and my house is quiet I will have plenty of time to read all I want...) Even though now I am reading more like less than a book a month I still enjoy that time, it's my me time, how I relax and escape for a moment in my crazy world. I usually just read late into the night and occasionally during nap time. But when I read during nap time sometimes I feel guilty because there are 10 million things around the house that I should be getting to (actually I really should be doing some of that right now.) ANYWAY here's my list of books I've read during 2012...
 |
| Great book! I would recommend if you're an avid reader and love a good mystery story. I loved the twist at the end. |
 |
| I loved this book as well! It's a great historical fiction book, about the titanic, and it's based on true characters. |
 |
| This one is a life changer. I loved it. Also historical fiction, the characters are amazing, they stay with you long after the last page is read. |
 |
| Such a great book. I was hesitant at first but I really loved it. |
 |
| Just finished this and it was really good. I randomly picked it up at the library in a hurry (my kids were destroying the library and I had to grab the first book I saw). It's a book of Mormon fiction story. It was surprisingly well written. |

| Skirt |
 |
| I needed a shirt to match so I used a long sleeve onesie that I didn't need and I made it into a short sleeve onesie. |
 |
| And of course the butt needed ruffles so that when she kicks her legs you can see ruffles under the skirt! |
 |
| I loved how the short sleeve turned out. I love little details. And the rosette looks perfect too! |
 |
| The whole outfit. |
Well, we hit a lot of milestones this last week. It was eventful to say the least. Some good, others not so good. Here's the bigger events that happened....
-Isaac learned to swim! So proud of him, he was his usual timid self for the first few lessons but he really liked it once he got comfortable.
-Isaac learned to ride a two-wheeler! Wahoo so proud of him! I can't believe how big he is getting...
I thought I'd get the good one's out of the way first.
- I got to call poison control for the first time! This not so good... Thank you Luke for finding a bottle of children's acetaminophen (the lid was on just not on all the way) and drinking 1/3 of it. And Thank you for giving me the great opportunity to call poison control and feel like a completely incompetent mother that leaves medicine out for her 2 year old to get into. All is well though, with his weight he needed to drink 2/3 of the bottle in order to have serious problems. So Thank you again Luke for being so chubby!:)
-: I got to take Sadie to KidsCare for the first time...also not so good. She's had a fever since Tuesday, and Thursday night it spiked to just under 103 :( poor baby. She was just diagnosed with a virus and told that she should be feeling better no latter then tonight. I hate sick baby's, nothing is worse. And I sure hope she feels better soon!
Well these are the bigger things that happened, all of that filled in with a visit to the zoo,a hula hooping class,eating, sleeping, playing, cleaning etc etc.... My life is crazy, and slightly out of control, especially now that Sadie is awake a lot more during the day. But I really wouldn't have it any other way!
I cannot believe my baby is 4! (Well I do have 3 kids so I guess it's good that he's four years old). I do love having a 4 year old around. He's so independent and the things this kid says just make my day!
Tonight we took him to dinner for his Birthday and there was a family sitting next to us and Isaac was starring at the table next to us and finally I said: Isaac what are you looking at? He said: Mom that guy looks just like Rumpelstiltskin! haha, he really did too:)
A couple weeks ago we were at Walmart and a pretty large fellow came walking down the isle and Isaac said: Mom it looks like that guy had too many doughnuts!
Oh I love my little Isaac, he is my buddy. He's such a great helper with his little sister, he's a great friend to his little brother (most of the time), he is so smart, he loves to read, he loves to play imaginary games (especially super hero games). I can't believe how quickly he has grown up!

I was feeling nostalgic the other night as I made this delicious dinner. I got this recipe at my bridal shower 5+ years ago from Trina Grandenetti. I made it right when we first got married, and I think it was one of the first times I ever used a new recipe and we loved it! Every time I make it I am back in our little basement apartment, just newly married and our whole lives ahead of us. I loved that time it was so fun to just be together and have no one to worry about except each other. It's fun to look back and remember, and crazy to think how much has changed. I know I feel like a completely different person now then I was when I first got married. Hopefully most changes were for the better!
I thought I would share this super easy, super fast and ridiculously delicious Mexican pasta recipe so all of you can enjoy it to, and hopefully make your own memories:) !
