Is this legal?


I seriously had to ask that when i checked out, i feel i robbed the place,figuring it was too good to be true. I love coupon shopping! That is all the stuff i just bought at the grocery store for $27.01, (yes, that is 20 progresso soups and 8 boxes of cereal 4 boxes fruit roll ups, 3 brownie mixes AND everything else!) then I got a TEN dollar coupon off my next purchase which means i really only spent $17.01 on all that. it is true!! the best part..... i had to buy a pack of gum at the end because they wouldnt give me money back obviously, so actually that cost was 1.50 so i really spent just over 15.00!!! How cool is that! thanks Andrea for making shopping exciting again and saving me a LOT of dough!!

Valentines, Monster trucks and our new addition.....


I took the kids up North last weekend for two days, my cute little bro Cody gave us a paid trip up there for Christmas for the Monster truck show! so we Celebrated Valentines with Grandma and Grandpa and the uncles, getting spoiled and watching monster trucks! Kylees highlight of the weekend was big balloons and Kaden will only wear his monster truck jammies everynight if that tells you something! Thanks for the great weekend Fam!! sooo fun!





you can see how intrigued Kaden was and we show up not knowing we had FRONT row seats! talk about awesome!! Cody your the man!





....my spontaneous husband.... Nick comes home yesterday with a baby chick. that is so not like him. his new business partner I guess owns all the IFA stores, havent been there, heard its a farmer store, ayways, they have tons of baby chicks for like two dollars. food is like another dollar, so we have a new pet. in about 6 weeks we will have a hen running around our backyard, i guess were the Mckinlay Farm now, JK Nicks Sister Shelley says we can take it up to her, they have lots of them.... so in the meanwhile, my kids are in heaven with their new little "pet!!"



Have a good week!

this email was voted number one for the year, I look at it almost everyday to remind myself. it is sad, but is a definite wake up call.

My Mother in law Connie is such a great person. she does a lot for others. Once a year her and her husband have been going to Africa to give money and time to help help help. I wont get into details all they do, but when I think of the people there who have close to nothing, and yet are so incredibly happy, I feel guilty being a spoiled American, who takes so much for granted. We are more than incredibly blessed. I am so thankful for all I have!! ...................................................
