Here Tatem is picking up sticks after a big wind storm came through...look how many are in the wheelbarrow ;o)The III got the fun job of cleaning out the ditches.
Love the face...picking up sticks is so much fun!

Sweeping up the driveway!

All done!! Great Job The III and Tatem! You can come over and help any day!!!

Thanks for the help!

Book Update

Ok I finished Not to Worry Mom I'm OK. It was a very good book. It was about a family and the youngest child had CF. And it takes you through his life and how he and his family adapted to life and death. It was written by his mom and it is a true story! It was written by someone who used to be in my ward, so some of you out there might know some of the people in it if you read it! I highly recommend it ;o)

I also finished The Sea of Monsters one of the books in the series that the III wanted me to read! Yep it was pretty good, and when you finish you want more right away!! Fun!!! I can't wait for the three book. Lots of fun and twist in this book...just when you think you have it figured out....guess what??? I highly recommend it!!! Ok the III you need to hurry and finish book 3 I need it!!!! Of course if it was just the III reading it by himself he would be done, (when I gave him back book one he read over half of it in 24 hours see TBJS blog...yep that's what he is reading while Tatem is jumping), but he is reading with the family so they all have to be there in order for them to read!! I love that idea...A family that reads together stays together!!!

Happy Reading!!!
