Book Review:

Fire in the Bones is a very interesting/educational book about the guy who translated the bible into English. There are many ways that his life parallels Joseph Smith's, and it really strengthened my testimony of the restoration. Very interesting book

Angels and Demons is written by Dan Brown (the same guy who wrote DaVinci Code) . It actually has a very similar type of plot to DaVinci Code, but it is not nearly as contraversial. It is about an ancient brotherhood who are trying to destroy the catholic church (via a bomb) on the day of conclave (when a new pope is voted in). The story is a real edge-of-your-seat page-turner and the plot is constantly twisting (much like 24). Oh, and it is PG rated and non-contraversal.

Steve and I both highly recommend both of these books.

Is Fire in the Bones a biography or does it belong in the fiction section?

Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
