Jackie Evancho - America's Got Talent.

This little girl's voice is so amazing. If you haven't yet seen this, prepare to be blown away!

Nudey boy watering the flowers!

I've got a bunch of Hydrangeas that I transplanted from a friend's garden last year that Eli so graciously helps with watering... in the nude! It does work better that way, otherwise he comes out soaking wet anyway. I hope the neighbors don't mind!

All done! Bye! Bye!

Mama's shoes!

He walked all the way down the hallway... in Mama's heels!

His tiny little feet!
Mama, this is tricky!

And why do you wear these, Mama?

Eli, keep your pants on!

Eli is going through a phase where he doesn't like to wear pants... he takes them off every chance he gets!

Blurry, but you can still see his big smile!

Cute lil' buns!

Whoa!

Snack time!

Can you see me?!

When Daddy gets me dressed...

...both legs go into one hole...

Book Club Tuesday - The Senator's Wife & While I was Gone

Ummm, not one I would recommend to you. It didn't at all cover what I thought it would... instead it skimmed that surface of not only the Senator's wife, but another couple who were quite dull. The author attempted to tie the two lives together, with a shocking and disturbing explosion at the end (the wife of the dull couple shows her breasts to the Senator)... the Senator's wife walks in on it and then 10 years later they read the Senator's wife's obituary in the newspaper. Really, that is all it is about. Let me know if you have read it and think otherwise...

This was a pretty good story. Basically about our pasts and the choices we make and how they will always follow us along our path in life. As I described the Senator's Wife to be a unusual storyline, I feel the same about While I was Gone. That being said, it was a page turner, just unusual.

Book Club Tuesday - The Help, A Million Little Pieces & Keeping Faith

The Help is such a wonderful book. One of my new top favorites! I literally could not put it down (love those books). It is a wonderful story that takes place during the time of Martin Luther King Jr., Rose Parks, etc. The author does such a beautiful job of describing the emotions of the characters and really makes you feel like to have experienced this period of time.

A long time on my list to read, the controversial book from about 2006. Apparently the author who intially claimed this book to be a memior of his life, embellished some parts of the story (from my 5 minute research, it was mostly the details of his criminal history... he made it sound like he was naughtier than he really was). Nevertheless, this is a great story about a man who was as low as a person could go and despite what everyone may have thought... he got through it.

Ok, this book is quite tricky... I made it about halfway before I gave up. It is a story about religion and a young girl who people think speaks to God. For me, it was a little too cheesy. I am a spiritual person, and believe that everyone can speak to God in the own way and I also believe that God communicates with everyone as well. I don't know exactly what it was, but I just couldn't turn another page... onto the next!
