THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS

I have been reading the best trilogy ever!! My sister is a book-a-holic and it works out great for me becuase she reads all these books and lets me know which ones are worth my time to read. Before the Twilight series I don't think I had read a book since High School. I LoVe the Twilight series with all that I am...but I'm going to dare say I LOVE this series better! I have had it sitting in my room for almost a year while I read other books and I am kicking myself that I didn't pick these up sooner.

To compare them to Twilight i would have to say these are "darker". It follows the Shadowhunters, hot warriors who basically kill demons that are roaming the earth. Then there are the Downworlders, which are the vampires, warewolves, faeries, warlocks and such which are completely different than demons.

The twists and turns and battles and love stories in this series captivated me! There is one twist that I think she took too long clearing up, but atleast it got cleared up!!

This sucked me in 110% I want to live in this world of beautiful demon-butt kicking Shadowhunters.

I just finished the last book yesturday...I haven't even read the Epilogue yet, but I couldn't wait another day to scream to the world READ THESE BOOKS!!!

I usually don't read a series until it's completed, which I thought this was. But as I was googling it the other day I see she has a 4th book The City of Fallen Angels in the works not due out until March 2011!!! I hope I can hold out until it's released...waiting for Breaking Dawn just about killed me!

Atleast this one wraps things up before it ends.

ROCK HUNT

Colby had an idea to switch sights on his guns around so we drove out with him while he tried it out. Me and the boys took Jazmine on a rock hunt. This is one of Brenden's favorite past-times. He loves rocks. We have rocks from everywhere we've camped, fished, hiked, or played. It's really a fun thing we have going on. He is good at it too, he doesn't choose just any ordinary rock to put in the jar, he makes sure it's "super cool" as he puts it!!

My boys!

Cason's weird rock he found!

This rock has a tiny hole in the middle


Brenden is convinced this rock is a T-Rex footprint....

A man and his gun..

Yet another rock Cason found

He is so cute when we are looking for rocks!

Brenden couldn't believe this rock had holes in it!!

The rock "hunting" did turn into rock "throwing" but I took boys

what did I expect would happen?

Jazmine loved the rock hunting but wasn't too sure about

the gun shots. They scared her!

KRISSY PICKLE PIE!!

This is my beautiful little sister from other parents! If that makes any sense at all. We started babysitting her when she was a wee babe. Our families have been through alot together and I love this girl soo much! She chose to be baptised last month and I am so proud and thrilled for her and her new adventures!

I love you Krissy!!

NEW PUPPIES & CUTE BOYS!!

Me and my sister both got new puppies that happen to be brother & sister. Our kids are both so excited about the puppies and they LoVe them too much. The other night I was sitting there and Trina sent me a text with a picture of my nephew sleeping with Perry, just so happens I was able to take a picture of Brenden sleeping with Jazmine at the same time. Too cute!!

LITTLE ANGEL

This little boy is the grandson of one of my friends and I have been crying for about 2 hours over his situation. I know times are tuff for everybody, but I am not going through anything as rough as this or can I even imagine what this family is going through. I actually met this little boy a year ago and his grandma's house and he is the cutest little guy!

Please take the time to visit this blog so you can include his family in your prayers. I know they could use as much help as possible!! Just have some tissues handy!
