THE HOURGLASS DOOR

SO THERE IS A NEW BOOK OUT IN STORES AND IT IS CALLED
"THE HOURGLASS DOOR", AND IT IS REALLY REALLY GOOD, THE AUTHORS NAME IS LISA MANGUM AND I AM HER VISITING TEACHER, SHE TOLD ME ABOUT THE BOOK A FEW MONTHS BACK, AND IT HAS BEEN REALLY FUN TO GO VISIT HER EACH MONTH WITH UPDATES ON HOW THE BOOK IS COMING ALONG. WELL IT IS FINALLY IN STORES, DESERET BOOK, AND MOST BIG NAME STORES. I HAVE TO TELL YOU I AM NOT JUST SAYING THIS CUS I KNOW HER, BUT THE BOOK IS REALLY REALLY GOOD. SHE DID SUCH AN AWESOME JOB AND I AM SO PROUD OF HER. EVERYONE SHOULD GO OUT AND GET THIS BOOK, YOU WON'T REGRET IT, AND IT IS A TRILOGY SO THERE ARE TWO MORE COMING. HERE IS THE PARAGRAPH FROM THE BACK OF THE BOOK.

"ABBY'S SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL IS GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN: GOOD FRIENDS, CUTE BOYFRIEND, AND COLLEGE APPLICATIONS IN THE MAIL. BUT WHEN DANTE ALEXANDER, FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT FROM ITALY, STEPS INTO HER LIFE. HE TURNS IT UPSIDE DOWN. HE'S MYSTERIOUS, AND INTERESTING, AND UNLIKE ANYONE SHES EVER MET BEFORE. ABBY CANT DENY THE GROWING ATTRACTION SHE FEELS FOR HIM. NOR CAN SHE DENY THE UNUSUAL THINGS THAT SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN DANTE IS AROUND. SOON ABBY FINDS HERSELF DRAWN INTO A MYSTERY WHOSE ROOTS REACH INTO SIXTEENTH CENTURY FLORENCE. AND SHE UNCOVERS A DANGEROUS TRUTH THAT THREATENS NOT ONLY HER FUTURE BUT THE LIVES OF THOSE SHE LOVES."

SO GO BUY IT, YOU WONT REGRET IT.

CATCH UP!

SO I HAVENT POSTED SINCE EASTER AND THOUGHT I BETTER PLAY CATCH UP. MAY IS SUCH A BUSY MONTH FOR ME WITH BIRTHDAYS, MOTHERS DAY, AND SOCCER, OH YEAH AND JUST HAVING FOUR KIDS. SO HERE IS A LITTLE OF WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO.
THE TWINS AT ZACH AND KAIMENS SOCCER GAMES
KAIMEN WITH HER BEST BUD, EASTON, HER COUSIN. THEY PLAY ON THE SAME TEAM TOGETHER, BUT I WOULDNT REALLY CALL IT PLAYING SOCCER, THEY JUST LIKE TO RUN AROUND AND PLAY WITH EACH OTHER.
HERES KAIMEN WAITING TO PLAY SOCCER FOR THE FIRST TIME, SHE WAS SO EXCITED. BUT SHE IS SO MY LITTLE GIRL, SHE GETS TIRED OF RUNNING AFTER THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES. THAT'S MY GIRL.

HERE'S ZACH RUNNING FOR THE BALL, HE JUST LOVES SOCCER, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, AND HE HAS SO MUCH FUN AT IT.
