good deal, again!

I went to Albertsons again, and got each peanut butter and each spaghetti sauce for .50! $4 plus tax, not bad!

good deal

I went to Albertson's today and I got all of this for $17.12. It kind of seems like a lot but I saved $29.48 with all of the coupons and my rewards card! Pretty cool huh! All of the granola bars were only $1 each if you bought in 5's. I think I'm going to go back tonight because all post cereal like life and capn crunch is only $1 in pairs of 5. Very exciting!

Kellie...you are amazing!

I got this beautiful birthday card from my sister in law, Kellie! She is so good at making cards! I couldn't believe how much time it must have taken her to make this card! I can seriously only hope to ever make a card that well. When I showed Aaron the card he about died!! He asked if I was going to send a card back and I said how, nothing I make will compare!! We laughed for a while. Then he said, "the card war begins"!! Isn't that SO funny! So I went to Joanns that same day trying to look for something I could do that would impress her and I searched and searched for an hour and left mad and with nothing!! I'm sure I will come up with something good! Kellie, just you wait and see!!

By the way, I am so excited to come out there and visit Jake and Kellie! Even though Jake has to drill on probably all of my teeth I am super excited to spend time with Kellie and the kids! So Jake, just drug me up and I'll be happy!!

Love you guys, see you in a few weeks!!

Grab your PJ's, we're having a sleepover!

Madi has been wanting to have her friend Hope over for a sleepover and we have been trying to organize it for weeks! She was finally able to come over on Friday night! They had such a blast! I did too, probably too much! Madi had a half day that day so after school we went to the store and got everything to make homemade pizzas. They had so much fun making and eating them. After that we went to the video store and rented some movies and when we got back we made chocolate fondue! YUM! What a fun night we had! After Hope left Madi said, "we have to do that again"! I agreed!!

Fondue fight!

Another good deal

I know, I bet everybody is sick of hearing about my good deals but I get so excited about them! I got all of this for...drumroll please...$7.42! Before all of my coupons I would have spent, $39.89! Such a thrill! That Aveeno Shampoo was originally $7.49 a bottle and they rang up buy 1 get one free plus I had 2 $2.50 off coupons. Then the face wash rang up $5.79 a bottle and that was also b1g1 free but then I had 4 $2 off coupons. They had a sale on the oats also for 2 for $3 but I had 2 $1 off coupons, so I got them for .50 each. So exciting! I got all of the coupons off the internet too, didn't even have to use my newspaper coupons! Plus, the deal gets even better, if you spent $30 before coupons on any Aveeno or clean and clear product you can mail in a rebate form and they send me $10 back! So, I get all of this stuff for free plus $2 and some change back!!

A+

Go Madi! Madi is doing so good in school. She really loves going too, which I find amazing because I hated school! She will never know that but I did!!! Her favorite class is art. She would draw all day long if she could! She has drawn a ton of pictures in her art class that she has recieved an A+ on and a few of them have actually been selected to be hung in the school district office.

She also had a test in Social Studies today and she aced that one too! It was on all of the parts of Canada, she was very excited about that one!

We are so proud of Madi! She works really hard in all of her classes, 3 of which are advanced. So, she usually has a ton of homework and she always does it without complaining.

We love you Madi!

Too much technology

Dylan had his cousin Eric over today and he had brought his new Ipod that he got for Christmas and all Dylan wanted to do was watch an episode of Spongebob on the Ipod. I couldn't believe all that Ipod could do. It has radio and it also has a pedometer. You can also flip the Ipod upside down and the image flips with it! Too advanced for me! I came downstairs and this is how I found Dylan! There might as well have been a do not disturb sign in front of him! What happened to the days of watching cartoons on the tv? Also, what happened to the days of cartoons that were simple and didn't involve fighting or bad words. What happened to shows like Fraggle Rock or Duck Tales. Loved those shows! Oh well, times change I guess.
