We love coupons!

OK, I know that I haven't always been a frugal person but you know.... times are tough. SO, I have really gotten into the whole sale watching, coupon cutting, money saving thing you know!!! So I was so proud of my self today I went to Albertson's sale to day and got all this food, 9 boxes of cereal, 10 loaves of Grandma sycamore bread, 6 boxes of Betty Crocker fruit snacks, and 5 warm delights deserts all for ...................$27 I saved $78 It was awesome!!! I walked out of there feeling this total rush!!! This has been really fun and I just hope that even when business picks up and I can be smart and save all that money!!!

Bay's Pioneer project!

The third graders have to do a pioneer project every year. I think it is really neat this community really makes sure that the kids think about our heritage and they do all kinds of things to remind them of it! So we decided to do homemade soap for her project, so this is Bay stirring the lye and the water.

You mix that with lard.

Then you have to cook it for two hours. I don't think she really thought I would make her do it but I did and she loved it as you can tell!!!!! Memories.....

Valentines Day!!

OK I know that We are like way past Valentines Day but I haven't updated our Blog FOREVER!! Anyway, Buddy got me these beautiful flowers. They are still so beautiful today almost all of the Lillie's have opened up now! Roses would've been dead by now so I love my flowers! We went to dinner with the kids and Lloyd and Linda in Cedar. It was a great day!

Vegas trip!

A few pics before we went to church on Sunday. All the kids looked so good and I really hadn't taken very many pics while we were there so I couldn't resist!

We always have a blast with Scott and Monica when we are there!! They really are more like family than friends! The kids had a blast too, Beau and Luke got pretty dang good on their Wii and they are obsessed with bowling now!

They fed us so good too!! We had some awesome steaks that Monica Marinated and I'm pretty sure Scott cooked! They also took us to a great Italian restaurant and we had some yummy Italian Ice cream! Thanks to Scott and Monica for showing us such a great time and being such great friends!!
