Don't Cry Wolf

So I walked into Seagull book store on saturday thinking to myself, "I need a good book to read." I glanced around at a few they had displayed having a hard time deciding which one I wanted to buy. An employee highly recommended this book to me and said it was well worth reading. So I brought it home and proceeded to read the book. It was definitely an easy read but by the time I was done reading the book, I needed another one to make me feel good. It starts off where a man's wife and daughter die and he's left to raise his 2 sons by himself. The youngest boy would go weeks without speaking due to what happened. Then the same boys primary teacher was shot and killed. Then a bunch of animals were being eaten by other animals or shot. Oh, and then another 4 or 5 people are brutally killed in the story. And then the man lives happily ever after and finds a woman to love. Hmmm! I just didn't know what to think. It's not a book I would ever read again. I can't say I'm the best judge of books because I haven't read very many. I am also one of those people that loves the "happily ever after". And I expected that there would be some death because of the summary I read. It just kept coming and coming. Never ending. So now I'm moving on to a hopelessly romantic story called timeless waltz by anita stansfield. I have a few people who recommended this book series to me. I actually do like this one. I wasn't sure if I was going to be fond of LDS fiction but it is very enjoyable. I just hope there's a "happy ending". :) Cheesy I know. Wish me luck.

Lexie's new beautiful baptism dress





Lexie is going to be 8 years old!!! I can't believe it. Time has gone by so fast. Her birthday is June 29th and she will be baptized on July 5th at 4pm. We got her dress at the mall in Ogden at a place called Bliss. She tried on probably 30 dresses between the 2 stores. She just kept going back to this style and it looks so beautiful on her. We went to the Ogden Botanical Garden and took pictures there. Their garden is stunning right now. So many flowers blooming all over. She looked like a total bride and she just naturally posed. She MUST practice in the mirror to be this good. Anyway, despite the 98 degree weather while taking the pictures, she looked amazing. Here are a few of my favorites of her.
