Four Generations


Dad, Mom, Kendall, Erin, Sam, Tom, Desi and I went to Cafe Rio and then to see Grandma Thomson last night. She was so excited to see the kiddies. Sam, however, was more excited about the fish tank. It was nice to visit with Grandma and get a four generation picture. It's harder than you would think to get all four people to look at the camera at the same time and smile. Thanks to Erin for being our photographer.

Final Tally

I am finally done with the Albertson's shopping! I think I'm sick of grocery shopping even though I couldn't stop buying things because it was such a great deal! $90 and 15 transactions later, I now have

18 cereal
3 chex mix
1 chex mix bars
3 cheerios snack mix
15 fruit snacks
3 macaroni grill dinners
5 warm delights
7 brownie mix
21 cake mix
9 muffin mix
5 cookie mix
11 frosting
6 lemon bars
5 crescent rolls
8 biscuits
12 cookie dough
2 cinnamon rolls
16 soups

And I don't have any more space in my laundry/storage room! I guess my scrapbooking supplies are going to have to share a closet with the cake mix and cereal. I am glad to get this great jumpstart on food storage though, because we really don't have much.
P.S. Wendy, would you like me to bring cake or cookies to Ben's court of honor? =)

6th file, 6th pic

This is the 6th picture in the 6th file on my computer. I took this picture on the side of the road coming back from the dunes, while Tom was changing the flat tire on the trailer. This was one of the several flats we had on the trailer within a month or so of each other. I tag Lori, Kim, Jessica and Christy.

Pedicures Aren't For The Ticklish

Erin, my sister-in-law, and I went and got pedicures today at the salon in WalMart. It felt amazing! This is definitely something we are going to do more often! They did a great job and we got to sit in massage chairs. But I don't know why I felt so ticklish, I almost kicked the poor girl in the face. I wouldn't normally pick purple , but I am really liking it lately and the girl offered to put the sparkly on top. The only downfall of the day was that I forgot my cell phone was in my lap and it fell into the tub of water. Oops! Now all it does is flash and vibrate. I guess I will have to dry it out some more. So much for a $20 pedicure, it might now be a $70 one if I have to buy a new phone. P.S. Thanks to my mother-in-law for watching our kiddies. It was nice to be pampered.

GREAT DEALS!!!

I went to Albertson's today and got all of these groceries for $45.95!!! You can't even see all of it, because my table isn't big enough so I had to stack things on top of each other AND use the chair! If I had purchased these groceries regularly, it would have cost me $270.51. I saved $224.56!!! YAHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a good thing I dragged Tom with me because I filled the entire cart and Desi wouldn't have had anywhere to sit. He was teasing me in the checkout line about going home and blogging about it. Of course I have to tell people, I am so proud of myself! Thank you Grocery Smarts!

Three Months Already!



I can't believe my baby is already three months old. She has brought more joy into our lives than we could have imagined. I never knew I could love someone so little so much!!! I don't feel worthy enough to be this angel's mother.
