Throwback Tuesday

I can hear you all screaming because I'm doing Throwback Tuesday instead of Thursday. I am sorry for this sacrilege! I just don't know if I'll have time for this on Thursday, so forgive me. Anyway, I still have blogger's block right now, so I thought I'd share SEVERAL old photos with you. because I'm one of those people who, for the most part, is not too shy about sharing younger photos of myself. So here you go! All six of my siblings and me in the fall of 2007. Left to right: Noah, Natalie, Me, Heidi, Levi, Brandi, and Tim.

Baby Levi. Why did he have get older? :(

Papa and little Levi in 2006. I haven't seen Papa in two or three years. I miss him!

Levi and our nephew, Kyran. Partners in crime!

Natalie, our friend JoJo and me having a sleepover. Jojo and some of her family members are actually coming to stay at our house for a few days this week.

Jojo's little brother, Silas, and my middle brother Noah in the summer of 2005.

My sisters Brandi and Natalie playing with me in 2003ish. I remember when Brandi and Heidi used to play like this with us on the couch. So strange! Now they both have kids who are older than we were here.

Levi and my niece Hailee in 2013. They have both grown so much in just 2 1/2 years! I remember Hailee used to have the cutest little voice and I just found a video of her at that age. She was so funny!

Levi wearing the suit he received for his 4th birthday, all ready to attend a wedding. I loved that suit and always tried to get him to wear it to church, although he usually didn't cooperate.

My littlest brothers and me in 2013, back when they were little and cute! Haha, I still love them, but it was much easier to be patient when they were younger. I hope you understand what I mean!

My three brothers. Goodness, they were so little! But Levi's still trying to be the center of attention, so some things never change.

My nieces, Alahna and Kyla, who are just two months apart in age, at ballet. They were so cute!

The boys thought we should get these couches!

My sister Brandi and her little girl. I vividly remember this day. So sweet!

My nephew Jackson as a baby. I remember carrying him through the yard and feeding him his bottle at this age. Hard to believe he just turned four!

And that wraps up my little throwback! What do you think? Should I post another one sometime? post signature

Fandom Friday {at Barnes and Noble}

First of all, I'm sorry that my posts are so few and far between right now. Before my break from blogging, I was overflowing with post ideas. But since then, I think I've hit that unfortunate thing called "blogger's block" which we all fear. So please bear with me as I recover and begin to find things to post again. Thank you all for being there! Now, onwards to.... Fandom Friday! Last week, after suffering at home with a cold for a week and a half, I was dying to get out of the house. The day before, I literally stomped around the house, nearly hitting the walls, complaining of cabin fever between coughs to my poor brother. So my mom promised to take me somewhere the next day. Feeling in a bookish mood, I got her to take me to Barnes and Noble for the first time! My sister, Natalie, accompanied us.

It was amazing! I was already freaking out when we first stepped through the door, feeling like I could burst!Books...books....books....Classic books...modern books... And then it happened....Natalie and I stumbled across a Doctor Who display (actually three of them). Like the fangirls we are, we instantly sank to our knees and started chattering and giggling over all the items.Eventually, I tore myself away from there, realizing prices for most of it was high, and began to look around again. I nearly bought The Book Thief, but decided to borrow it from the library instead, as I didn't have very much money with me.Then Natalie discovered a Doctor Who book called "Dead of Winter" and we decided to split the cost and buy it.My ear was beginning to hurt at that point, so I ended up buying a really cool Doctor Who disappearing Tardis mug and going to sit down with a Starbucks drink.

We had a wonderful time, and my mom even got some early Christmas shopping done. (I'm not supposed to know anything about what she got so we'll leave that there.) My finds...

Dead of Winter

Doctor Who: Dead of Winter by James Goss
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book! It was very captivating with great plot twists. My only complaints were that it could be a bit confusing at times, and that sometimes earlier on the characters (The Doctor, Amy, and Rory) didn't seem quiet like themselves.

Four stars! I would definitely recommend this book to my Whovian friends

Natalie really enjoyed it as well, although she keeps freaking out how no matter what angle she looks at the book cover from, it appears that The Doctor continues to stare at her.. :)

Disappearing Tardis Mug This mug is very cool! True to the title, the Tardis "disappears" when submerged in a hot drink, such as tea or coffee. The Tardis fades out from the London street it sits on (see above picture) and reappears in deep space.

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture where the Tardis is in space, but the above picture shows were it would appear. In other news, I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and am already hooked. Are you scared yet? ;) Happy Friday everyone! May the force be with you. post signature
