Senior Pic's

I can't believe that Courtney is going to be a Senior in High School this year.

It really settled when she asked if she could have her Senior Pictures taken while we were at Strawberry.

She wanted to be in a field with all the wild flowers and there were a ton of wild flowers so it was really fun.

As she finished her Junior year I knew she was headed for that last year of school but it never bothered me until I had to take these pictures and had to deal with the fact that she really is going to grow up no matter how many times I tell her not to.

KIDS NEVER LISTEN!

Strawberry Resevoir July 2009

After 10 pictures, one picture where they are all FINALLY looking at me.

Sheesh!

We went camping at Strawberry Resevoir with Jeff and Heather with their kids Brooklyn, Conner and Bryson and Brian and Stephanie and Steve's Dad, Lynn.

It was a great weekend!

Austin, Megan, Courtney, Zac, Nicole and Copper

Nanny McPhee

Have you ever seen the movie Nanny McPhee?

I could never watch it because I could not stand to look at her teeth.

I started calling Austin Nanny McPhee because he had one tooth that was so loose it was hanging down and to the point where it would wiggle back and forth in his mouth when he would laugh, talk, breath, sneeze, cough.

He would not let me pull it out but then I don't really have the stomach for that sort of thing.

I hate the sight of blood, so I was okay with the wiggly tooth as long as Austin was.

Then one night, Austin and Zac decided to have a bit of a wrestling match and Austin took a swing at Zac with all his force but Zac did the old "block the face" and Austin's hand ended up rebounding and back in his own mouth.

They were both laughing so hard when it happened until Austin noticed that his tooth had fallen out.

He started laughing then crying, then laughing then crying and then when Mom wasn't upset.....He started laughing!

(and no my kids don't fight)

Epic shopping exerience!

Well, I decided to hit the Albertson's EPIC shopping sale. I did okay but I guess I could have done better.

However, my big FIND for the day was the Oreo's.

Everybody loves OREO's!

Albertson's has them on sale for $1.88, with an in-store coupon. That is a good price BUT I remembered last week when I went shopping that the Oreo packages that were stacked back by the milk had a coupon on them for $1.00 off milk if you purchase Oreo's.

So I went to the back of the store and got those Oreo's and then bought Milk that was on sale 3 for $5.00. That makes 3 gallons of milk and 3 packages of Oreo's for $7.64. That was a savings of $5.86 just on those items.

I also dedcided I was getting low on Tuna Fish. It is on sale and for every 10 cans that you buy you get $5.00 off. So, I bought 20 cans and got $10.00 off. I bought a few other things including Kellogg's cereal (.67 a box). My final bill was $169.47 but I used $110.76 in coupons....I paid $58.71 and my gas rewards are $30.17 off my next fill

PLUS $4.50 off my next purchase of MILK.

(I will probably get Chocolate Milk!)
