Makayla had a concert all last week. It was their Christmas spectacular! She did wonderful and so did everyone else. Just as a side note, the boy with his hands on Makayla's shoulders name is David and he has a crush on Makayla. I think it is so cute, she is 13 and he is 15. Hehehe!
Yesterday, May 13th, marked the 14 year mark of our marrige. We had a wonderful day. Brad took me out to a wonderful dinner at The Chef's table, which is a very elegant resturant. When we got there Brad had a dozen long stemmed roses waiting at our table for me, then he gave me my gift which was this beautiful dimond heart tennis braclet, I LOVE IT. Afterward we went out for icecream and then headed home. It was a wonderful night! Oh and by the way, I got Brad a Dallas Cowboys watch, (It's his favorite team). Love you baby...
This was my first trip to the store with coupons and I got all this, (Normal retail price $31.00, for $12.35), the bbq sauce and Tabasco were .23 a piece, the Mayo $1.69 and the Cleaner for .94 cents a bottle.
Now this was my shopping trip yesterday. All this for $7.00 Normal retail price, $26.50. Coupon shopping is so much fun once you get everything organized and you know how. It's time us ladies did our part to try and start saving money during these hard times. The stick of deodarent was normally $3.00, it was on sale for $1.76 and I had a coupon for $1.50 off so there for, I got it for .26 cents. The toothpastes were .25 cents a piece but the best deal of the day are the bottles of dressing, I had six coupons for $1.50 off any Kraft dressing and the regular price is $1.58 a bottle so I got 6 bottles of salad dressing for, drum roll please, .48 cents. All of this stuff is great for food storage, and when your getting it for pennies on the dollar it's even better. Now this is how I do it. I went and bought a three ring binder and some baseball card sleves to put my coupons in, the sleves are a great way to keep your coupons organized and seperated. Now I get three Dailey herald papers delivered to my home every Sunday, the Sunday paper has all the good coupons. So I have three sets of coupons delivered, Brads mom brings me hers and Brad brings home the paper from his work every Monday so there for I have 5 sets of the same coupons. I start clipping only the coupons I know I will truley use and put them in the folder, there's a page for condoments, bathroom supplies, frozen foods, ect. I take my folder everytime I go to the store, (I always find the best deals at Wal-Mart). With the deodarent, it is regularly $3.00 a stick but I wated until it went on sale for $1.76 and used my $1.50 off coupon and got it for .26 cents, again ladies, great for food storage or to stock up the pantry. I could go on and on but I strongly incourage all of you to start doing this, it's so much fun to save lots of money...
Bay had a Hershey track meet last week for her school, she was in the long jump and the 100 meter. These are some pictures of her jumping. She jumped about 51/2 feet but that wasn't good enough to win, some of those girls can fly. Bay still did a great job and we are so proud of her. We couldn't stay for the 100 meter, (had other things to do) but she came in 4th, which is great considering that there was about 150 girls running it. GOOD JOB BAY.
These are my beautiful children all dressed up on Easter Sunday. We had a wonderful day. The kids woke up and found their baskets which the Easter bunny forgot to take pictures of then we all got ready for church. After church we went to Grandma and Grandpa Morgans and had a great Easter dinner and got more Easter candy.
And this is the finished product. They did so well. Makayla's is the top one, Josh on the side and Bay on the bottom.
The kids watched Bolt in the main livingroom downstairs, we have a projector in there as well. We have a selection of movie posters that we change out every so often, we have Harry Potter and Get Smart in our light boxes right now but we have anything from, Shrek to Cinderella Man to put in them. I Love lazy Sunday afternoons.
Well, it's done. It only took me 3 1/2 years to figure out what I wanted to do to this bathroom and this is the end result. I now have pictures of the family hanging above the toilet as well as all over the house, I LOVE HAVING PICTURES OF FAMILY! Please feel free to give me your constructive critisism, I promise not to get offended.
This is my 22 lb. cat cheddar! He refuses to drink water out of his dish, he only wants to drink out of the tap while the water is running. He will sit in the sink for hours until someone turns on the faucet. WHAT A SPOILED CAT.
OK, so I know it's a bit early for Easter but I was exspirimenting with some ingredients and this is what I came up with, Homemade peanut butter chocolate eggs and they are DELICIOUS!
So my little Bay bow was in the School spelling bee, she was one out of 12 third graders that made it to the finals. SHE TOOK 5th PLACE! Wooooo Hoooo Bay.
Here she is spelling one of her words, now I must expalin. The winning word was, "Today" the word that Bailey got out on was, easel, now tell me how she is supposed to spell that on the spot when all the other words were words like, "free, mine, live, snow", now come on, you throw a word like, easel in there and she's bound to get it wrong. Oh well, we are so proud of her, she did GREAT!
