Good Read

A week and a half ago, Tori and I went to Barnes & Nobles looking for a book that Tori wanted to read called, Tan Lines, but she didn't know the author. We stopped at the information desk to ask the lady where we might find it, since sometimes finding a book at Barnes & Noble is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Before we could get the name out, the ladies says, "I'll bet your looking for Stephanie Meyer's new book, Breaking Dawn". We said no and ask her about the book we were looking for. However she had peaked my curiosity. While Tori was following the clerk I decided to check out the Stephanie Meyer books. Breaking Dawn is the fourth of a series of books called the Twilight series. Tori said, "Yeah Mom, their making a movie that is coming out in December". Apparently I have my head in the sand because I had never heard of it. About now you are probably laughing at me. I'm not sure how I had missed it before, it's everywhere. I picked up the first book - Twilight, and read the back, it's about vampires. I typically don't like vampire stories but I thought it didn't sound bad, so I decided to give it a go. Let me tell you that there is something intriguing about this book that sucks you in (no pun intended). I have not been able to put it down. I stayed up at night, read every waking minute. Needless to say I had to run out and buy the second, third and fourth book. I read them all in a about 10 days. These as not little books, and I'm not a fast reader. My family has been giving me a really hard time. I don't think my kids have every seen me so glue to a book. So if you are interested in a good read, I would recommend this story.

I don't know if you will even realize that I left this comment since you posted it a while ago, but oh well. I have yet to enter that phase. I KNOW I would love it and I know that that is all I would do for a week is read and I simply don't have the time to do it. I am too busy right now with all the kids and getting bigger and feeling crappier that I know it would consume my life and I would become useless. When I have more time, hopefully!

I did see your comment finally. Believe me I understand what you're saying. I know that it totally consumed me for 10 days. My family teased me about it constantly.

Prom

It is Prom Night ~ It all started two weeks ago when Lodge (his real name is Andrew Lodge but Tori just calls him Lodge) unofficially ask Tori to go to Prom. As it turns out Boise and Timberline's Prom is on the same night (Lodge goes to THS). So they are just going to THS's prom. The shopping for a dress began. Lodge gave Tori a list of colors he would not wear (he wanted to match his Tux to her dress). We finally found the perfect dress. Finally this week we got the official invitation, a box of rose petals, rose and a note. Then we had to give him an answer, so we went to Petco and bought a Beta fish and bowl. She made a sign to put on the fish bowl that said "It will be a SPLASH to go to Prom with you" and we delivered it to his house while he was at work. I treated her to getting her hair and makeup done. Lodge picked her up at 5:00, here they are exchanging flowers. Took some pictures and then they were off to Lodge's house for more pictures. She said that...

Tori Scores! ! ! ! !

SENIOR NIGHT We had two very important (and tough) games this week. We needed to win them both to end up high in the standings. Monday's game, Senior night, was against Capital, Tori played outside back defender the whole first half. Then he moved her to outside midfielder for the second half. Boise won to win 3-1. Wednesday was again Centennial at Centennial. We started pretty flat and they scored first. Tori went in about half way through the first half as a outside midfielder. She SCORED with about 2 minutes left in the first half. It was a beauty...... We were able to come out in the second half and score again. Tori played really well in both games. Then we just held on tight and pulled out the win. We are going into the District Tourney as #2 seed. We play Saturday 10/11 at Centennial High School at 11:00. Come cheer her on..............

Taking donations......

If anyone one wants to contribute to the Lewis education fund, please feel free........... Alex has a friend that is going to this art school in Eagle, called Arts West. It is pretty expensive. He first brought up going last year and I told him there was noooo way he could go. Well, he has been hanging out with his friend Jeff and has started asking about going again. So, I told him that he would need to see if he can get some scholarships. They are having auditions for scholarship this Saturday and he has done all the leg work, scheduled his audition time, got all his art work together, wrote his 350 work vision statement, had me take his picture. So he seems very determined to go. So tomorrow at 3:40 is his audition. I have mixed emotions. I'm very glad to see him excited about school. But I'm not excited about having to come up with the money to pay for it. I wish him the best of luck tomorrow and I really hope it goes well for him. Good luck, Al...... We Love you and are v...
