Coupon Crazy

Okay, so I think that I am starting to drive Rick crazy with this new "hobby" that Heather has introduced me to! I started doing all this coupon clipping and bargain shopping that Heather talks about! Let me tell you it works, I can prove it! Today I went to Albertson's and got all this for $24.99: 2 gallons of milk, 2 cake mixes, 2 fruit by the foot, 1 popcorn, 4 boxes of cereal, 2 bags cheerios snack mix, 1 box curves granola bar and a bottle of Malibu! I was so excited all got all that for the price of the milk and Malibu!! This is kind of(now I said kind of) fulfilling my shopping need. Not quite as cute as a new shirt, but my kids can eat!! Well at least it is a hobby that is saving us money! Thanks Heather!!!

On a lighter note....

Our wiener dog Daisy was chewing on a ball and this is what happened. Who knew that a dog could grow a beard!

Goodbye Gram and Grandpa

Well today was a little bittersweet for the kids and I. My parents are moving to South Carolina and today was the last day that the kids will see them until either we go there or they come here. Now I just want them to know that I understand the move and I want them to have grand adventures in life. But I am still being a little selfish at the same moment, I just can't help it. I hope that they enjoy retired life, as they truly deserve it. We just want them to know that we will miss them terribly.

Summer Fun!

We built a pool this year at our new home. The kids are having a blast! We are in the pool almost everyday, some days more than once. They are such great swimmers, I am not much of a swimmer myself. Don't get me wrong, I know how, I just enjoy lounging by the side soaking up some rays! Don't worry I always wear sunscreen. We have had so much fun this summer having friends over to swim. My friend Heather and her 2 boys, Gavin and Derek, came over for a dip today! Great job swimming Gavin!!
