I look forward the quiet moments before they fall asleep when we share our favorite stories from the day's events or the book shelf sitting against the wall.

We currently live in St. George, Utah.

“thankful that he hadn't given up or let his sadness at not becoming a race car driver keep him from doing what he did best.”
M. Sterling Jones, Jimmy the Racing Frog

“Addison ran up to Jimmy and scooped him up into her arms. "I knew you could do it, Jimmy. Good job." "Thanks," Jimmy said as he smiled and hugged Addison. A reporter clicked his camera. The picture of a little girl hugging her friend, the Champion of Callas County, hangs to this day in the Frog Jumping Hall of Fame next to a small plaque that reads: "Because he never gave up, Jimmy is considered to be the best jumping frog in history." Activities, Ideas and Education 1.Draw pictures of Jimmy doing all the things he does in this story. •As an egg wiggling •As a tadpole swishing his tail •As a tadpole with legs racing around the pond •As a froglet climbing out of the pond •As a grown frog going to the race track •Talking to Addison at the pond •At the starting line ready to jump •Jumping higher than the trees •Landing”
M. Sterling Jones, Jimmy the Racing Frog

“No matter who you are, no matter where you live, and no matter how many people are chasing you, what you don't read is often as important as what you do read.”
Lemony Snicket

“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”
Winston S. Churchill

“Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

“Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.”
Arnold Lobel

“You can keep your willpower, Frog. I am going home to bake a cake.”
Arnold Lobel, Frog and Toad Together
