Independent kids!!

So the other night my kids wanted to make there own dinner. They decided to make sandwiches. We never stepped foot in the kitchen they made them all by themselves. They savored every bite and just kept telling us that we would have to have one tomorrow because they were soooo delicious! Hannah did an awesome job and Kolton was satisfied with his cheese and mustard. The next day Hannah created a pepperoni, ham and chesse sandwich. She told me "See mom I can get up and make my lunch for school now"

Kids with Santa!!

Ty's sister got us free tickets to this new game show in vegas. It was pretty fun to get together with his sisters and mom for the night. It was at the Venetian and between all of us we ended up winning about $160.00 in food.(little did we know that gets you about 4 appetizers)

The kids are learning how to play tennis. They actually do pretty well. It's fun because we get to go out and spend time as a family having fun for cheap!!

Halloween

So I have been Sacking... Here are our Halloween Pictures. Also the kids got to make Halloween cookies by themselves! Kolton was more interested in eating the dough then cooking them.

Sooo we had our great freinds Josh and Jamie over for dinner tonight. I swear we can't be friends with them anymore. They just bring us to much bad luck! LOL Hannah and her boys were playing tag in the house and someone shut the light off in the kids room so Hannah got on her top bunk to turn it on... The picture shows what happend! Yes she has a matching cut on the other side now!! We just had to laugh about it this time. Twice in one week!



Ty and Josh "trying" to be doctors.. anyone need stitches come on over!

Coupon Shopping!!

A few weeks ago in our ward a lady showed us how to really coupon shop! I used to go to the store and save $7 and think I was doing good. So tonight I decided we needed to go to Walmart because there were some good deals that we needed to get(I really only shop once a week). Ty was to embarassed to come with me to the grocery part as I kept pulling out my Smith's add to compare prices so he took Kolton to the sports isles. I went to check out and Ty literally would not come to my line he went like 3 cashiers over to pay seperate for his stuff. We thought we would see who could come closest to a $100. I WON!! I totalled $100.43 and Ty was at $101. The only problem is look how much I got and yes how much Ty got. I swear I feel like all my savings went to his crap:) I saved $72.00 and didn't buy one generic brand. It can be done and it's sooo easy. You can take your grocery budget get good deals and then have extra money to spend on clothes or something fun.


Ty did have two magazines that aren't shown!

I had a small bag of dog food not shown that I got for only $.63!!

My Poor Baby!!

So on Monday night my friend Jamie invited us over for dinner. I had my two kids and nephew and she had her 4 boys. Well after them running in the house we had them go outside to play tag(now regretting). My nephew decided to throw a bat at Hannah so she wouldn't tag him and this is what she got! Luckily we have the best freinds in the world because there was sooo much blood. If any of you know me I was about ready to faint, so Jamie took her and got her all cleaned up. Josh had a guy he works with who does surgeries so Ty and him went down the next day to get it all done. They gave her some liguid Valum and we were going to Chili's after for a girls night out! It was pretty funny to see how determined she was that she could actually walk on her own. Ya it didn't happen.It doesn't look very deep in the pictures but it was bad! She told me tonight "Mom can I go get more stitches, that was fun"

I'M ADDICTED!!

So my new friend Jamie who has 4 boys and no girls taught me how to make bows! I am addicted to say the least. I can't walk into Walmart anymore without going over to the ribbon isle to make a new bow. She also taught me how to make these cool headbands that can be used for adults or kids.
