Lovin Life

Well since I finally found my camera cord, I decided I would update my blog. I don't know how often I will during the summer, so this might be one of the last ones. We have had so much fun the last couple of weeks. It has been crazy busy, but the sun decided to come out and we took full advantage of it. Cashlee had her first performance in gymnastics and was awesome. She was so excited and still talks about it. They even had some gymnasts come from Utah that did some routines and she loved it. She turns everything in my house into a balance beam or bars or does headstands on anything she can. Oakley is right behind her. She is getting pretty good at talkin and will tell lots of big stories to anyone who will listen. She is such a little parrot. I love the age they are at. They get to help us feed everyday so they ride in the tractor with me and honk at the cows. Oakley definantly knows how to get those cows out of the way. Well I hope that the sun keeps shining because we are definantly ready for summer.

Walk Like You have Somewhere to Go

So I decided to join this book club that one of my friends told me about. You get free books in the mail, and you post a review on your blog, and then pick another free book. It's a pretty sweet deal.
Anyway the book I read was by Lucille O'Neal, "Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go". As the mother of one of the greatest athletes of all time, her journey is exceptional;but her story reveals that she is more than just "Shaquille O'Neal's mom. It shares her struggles and disappointments against the backdrop of her sweetest memories and proudest accomplishments. She has been a rebellious teen, a single mother, a wife, a college student, a divorcee, and above all, a woman of unique courage.
I really liked this story. At first I was not that excited because I usually don't like reading these kind of books. After starting it I was hooked. It reminded me that everyone has to start somewhere, and that we shouldn't judge people before we really get to know them. She has such a great outlook on life, and really inspires people to be better and to always look on the bright side of things. I definantly would recomment this book.
