New Addiction...

Alright, here it is, my new addiction...

I have seen everyone getting into this couponing thing lately. I have talked to friends about it before, but it always seemed too involved for me. Well, I finally decided that it would be worth the work if I could really save money. So with a little instruction from my friend, I went for it today. I saved A LOT of money. It really works. I got a ton of groceries for $69. Plus I will be getting a rebate check in the mail for $10 - plus I received $5 off my next purchase. I think it is worth trying again - don't you. I am going to take a class on this couponing game (it really is like a game) on Thurs. The problem is now all my mind thinks about is getting more coupons. As I said, it is like a game and if I am going to play a game - I am gonna win! :) Addicted - I think so (Thanks Karla)!!!

See the milk in the back......$0.69 each. Oh ya!!!

See those apples up front...FREE. Things taste better when they are free!
Shopping Sales with Coupons = More Groceries



Have I mentioned that we have a new family member? This is Ridger. Our new addition. I told Cody and the kids that if the naughty neighbors that always called the cops on our barking dog moved, then they could keep a puppy. Their home had been for sale for 2 years - I was pretty confident in us not keeping a puppy. Well, of course, they sold their home, so here he is. Taten's dog. I guess he needs his own dog so that he can be just like his Dad. I haven't decided yet if I want him to be just like his Dad!!!! :)

Meet Ridge.

Good Shots...

I love these shots that I took when Cody was chasing his dogs...

...their little personalities shining through.

LOVE IT!

Cough - Sneeze - Snot.

I have THREE sick kids at my house. Three kids with coughs, sore throats, sneezes and snot. I blame this....


The 1st day of school was a few weeks ago and now we are back to bringing home all the germs that we possibly can, just to make Mom happy...

My 5th Grader...

My 2nd Grader...

...and a couple weeks later, came my big preschooler.

I can't believe that she is so old. She loves going to school like the big kids do. I have to admit that I love having 6 hours a week all to myself. I have been getting a lot done. I am almost caught up on the laundry in this house. I love picking her up though...the stories she tells crack me up. I love that she is so excited to tell me everything!

Emma.

I was just tickling Emma's belly and she said to me...

"Mom, don't you know that the Holy Ghost is in my belly? Yeah, he makes me laugh really hard like this."

I had never thought of it that way - hmmmm!:)

Kids Pics.

I love my kids new pics. They are on the wall in my basement enlarged to 16x20. I LOVE to walk downstairs and see their little faces looking at me...10 Years

7 Years

4 Years

It almost makes going down to do laundry a little bit better.... almost!
