Fun Stuff

Wow! What a fun and crazy weekend! Friday night I went with some friends in my neighborhood to the Stephenie Meyer book discussion and signing at Thanksgiving Point! It was so fun to be with so many excited fans and to hear her talk about her books and then actually meet her! We thought we were going to get stuck in there for hours waiting for our turn to get our books signed, but thanks to Jessa's sweet little baby, Keeley, we were given the chance to go up on stage after the second row and got through super fast!

Then on Saturday I met up with a couple of friends at the Provo Library for the Children's Book Festival and was able to meet Shannon Hale! These are my two very favorite authors and I got to meet them both in one weekend!! (I know, I have turned into a book nerd!!)
Then Jessa and I also met Brandon Mull and had him sign our Fablehaven books
Even Alaria was worn out after a crazy week! She is so particular about where she goes to sleep - she has to be in her bed! I was laughing SO hard when I found her asleep still standing up like this!

Saturday night we had pizza night with Kris' family while his sister Julie is in town. Just wait til you see what is behind these hands....
Gross or cute? I think Alaria likes chocolate cookies almost as much as me!
OK, I'm a little behind on blogging, but these are pictures from Mother's Day. I was so excited to come home from church and watch the Jazz game (So thankful for Tevo!) before we went to dinner so we make a carpet picnic for the kids so we could have lunch while we watched the game.
My cute kids. We took a bunch of pictures and I don't have a single one where everyone has their eyes open!

Cute picture with you and your kids, even if Alaria's eyes are closed :)

What a fun night out to meet Stephanie Meyer. Everyone tells me I need to read her books, I guess I should check them out!

I love your blogs!! And your hair looks super cute like that, you are such a hip mom:) I was reading thru everything with my mom, & we were laughing at the stories about your kids. Can't they just be so naughty?! Good thing they're so dang cute:)
Love & miss you,

That was a lot to post about. You did have a busy week. You really are turning into a book nerd :) I don't even know who those other two people are. My kids rarely fall asleep in random places like that, but it's so cute when they do. I must say it doesn't look very comfortable the way Alaria fell asleep, Amazing. You look great Michelle, I love your hair.

Fun stuff! My hubby works with Brandon Mull's brother and all his characters are based on his siblings. Silly huh.
