Cinderella & Sleeping Beauty has come for a visit

My Scare-row

Nate has found a new best friend. He will wheel his scooter up to the front porch and get his "friend" and take him for a ride. He also likes to jump on the trampoline with the scarecrow. He talks to him, it is really cute. If only he would put him back on the front porch for me : )

Ward Olympics

Heather doing the noodle javelon....

Ah, the highlight of the evening. Dave and Richard doing synchronized swimming. Oh, I would kill for video footage.
Our fall ward party was a blast. In honor of the olympics, we held our own olympic events at the church. As always the kids loved it and the adults got a lot of chuckles out of everyone making fools of themselves. I got rolled up in TP, Rich did the synchronized swimming HILARIOUS.. Rylee did the hula and Nate and Carson mostly ate the candy they gave out as prizes.

Coupon Craziness

Since Christmas is coming I decided that maybe I need to be a thrift a holic instead of a spend a holic. I have been trying out the coupon thing for a couple a weeks now, and it is going really well. I love the stores who will double and triple your coupons, it does take alot of time so we will see how it goes. Here are some great resources that I have found: beingfrugalisfabulous.com and

thegrocerygame.com.

You will have to check it out. My best deal so far was my shopping trip to Lowe's foods. I got all of this for $103.00. Eat your heart out!

I will never need cereal again!

6 going on 16!!

Happy Birthday to you my sweet little girl! Today we celebrated by going to my gym and having way to much loud and crazy fun with Rylee's classmates and neighborhood friends and her church class. I have to think that I may never want a party at my house again.
Rylee has grown and changed so much. It is fun to look back at her baby pictures, time really has flown by. This year she has begun to read, started math and spelling and is such a peace maker in our home. We are glad to have her.

Backyard fun

Once in awhile it is nice to just do nothing and enjoy the backyard. Today we had ice cream, backyard races, swinging, and giggling. Rylee even took a shot at taking some pictures of us. Now there's an idea, who needs a photographer after all.
