My celebrity look alike

Super moms

Hey guys...I've gotta put in a new plug for my friend's blog! I think it would be great to have more people to contribute! Just through us a recipe here and there!! We really want more people to add to it! Please join us!! I put a post on here so you can see what's been going on there. Click here.

Tagged!

I got tagged. Here are the rules: Go to the third picture folder on your computer, and find the third picture and post it.
I wasn't exactly sure how to do it because I have folder within folder within folder. So, anyway, this is what I came up with! This is Brad and I at the Kenny Chesney concert! WOO! We love Kenny.
I haven't posted in a long time. Life has gotten
really busy and then we had someone take our computer and clean it up!
I'm back from Utah. We all really missed Brad! Preston was glad to have his Daddy back. He kinda gave him a confused look at first but then it was life as usual. The kids did pretty well on the long drive. They slept a lot of the way back, which was nice. I like driving and thinking when it's quiet.
Anyway, I tag Stacy D., Jaimee C. and Piper.

Utah

Well, here I am in utah. I've been here since last wednesday. It's been a busy week helping my parents, driving them to their appointments and cleaning up and such. My dad did a real good job making a mess with his painting!! I was not expecting the winter wonderland when I woke up this morning! It has snowed several inches! Quite a change from our warm Nevada weather. All is well. Preston has enjoyed playing with his cousin, Brynnly. They are so cute playing together. I got a pedicure from my sister in law, Devery, which is always heavenly. I go back to be with my honey on Friday morning. I miss him so much!!

My friend Stacey posted this the other day. I wanted to spread the word about it. I think it's kinda fun! If you want to contribute drop me a message and I will let her know!

"After reading my friend Jenny's blog about how she is doing her grocery shopping and able to save a lot of money I got thinking. There should be a blog where we can all share ideas and recipes with each other. So I started one.

My poor Daddy!!!

Today I was on the phone with my mom just having a little chat when I hear this loud crash, followed by a really loud yell. Then all I heard was everyone screaming and the dog barking a lot, then I got disconnected. I was scared to death!!!!! My dad was up on his ladder painting in their entry way that is two stories high. He was at the very top of the ladder all the way up the two stories when he fell. He was still talking and mentally OK but my Sister in Law said his leg looked pretty bad. He really jacked up his leg and is in a lot of pain. They called 911 and they gave him some morphine and checked him all out. He got x-rays and he broke his femur way up high by his hip. He was covered in paint and so was everything else in the house. So, he had paint in his eyes etc. Anyway, they have to do surgery tomorrow and put a pin in his leg. So, he'll be out for a while. I'm glad he's OK and didn't fall on his head or anything. I just feel so bad for him!! That's gotta hurt! I was so glad that my brother, Sam and his wife were there to help! They got the paint cleaned up at the house with some ward members. I was supposed to go to Utah next week during Brad's exams but I'm thinking about leaving earlier to help out. My mom doesn't drive right now so I think they could use it. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

HOW did I save that much??

Well...here in Nevada they send a mailer with grocery store ads. I USED to throw them away but I started looking at them and marking down what I thought were good deals and saving the coupons (even though I only used one). Watch closely with coupons because sometimes the generic is cheaper than using the coupon. After I wrote down what I thought were good deals on things I usually get I decided which store had the best deals. Albertsons just happened to have the most stuff that week. They had a coupon for if you spent over $25 you got free paper towels and if you bought two stouffers lasagnas at $5.99 each you got a free bag of candy. I happen to like Stouffers lasagna and they are normally like $10 each. I made sure I made a list of things so I didn't forget what was on sale. I checked the normal price to make sure I was getting a good deal as well. Really, I just studied the ads and it really added up! It was so fun and rewarding to see the money come off after they had rung everything up!! Watch closely for the ones that you HAVE to buy the amount they want you to buy to get the good savings. Sometimes they make you buy 4/$5 to get the discount. I got Prego sauce 4/$5 which IS a good deal so I bought 4. Anyway, I saw this lady on Oprah that inspired me to try this. She claims you can cut your grocery bill in half if you do what she does. Go here to read her free online book that really helped me, although I didn't do everything that she does.
