Farewell.......

2011-08-23T13:53:00.000-07:00

Well Joseph and I found a house we really like and we got approved. That means this Saturday we will be moving:(

Most of you know that I do not like change, but throughout the years I have realized that once I have made the change I grow to love that change a lot. I have a feeling, even though we are moving to a smaller town then West Jordan, I will grow to love it.

Good-bye home:( This house was such a great house for our little family, it was a perfect 1st home. I am going to miss it so much.

And this will be our new home. Not as much garage space (Joseph is a little sad about that), but it has more bedrooms which will be fun to fill up:) Plus it has a storage room and scrapbook room YEPPIE:) The church is literally a stones throw away, and the park is just up the street. I am excited, But I will miss everyone so much. Love you all.

How to get GOOD DEALS with Coupons.

2011-04-04T10:35:00.000-07:00

Ok so there has been a lot of people asking me how to do the whole coupon thing so here is how you get started. (This is for you Bre)

Go to: http://thekrazycouponlady.com/

Click on: Beginners at the top

This lady goes through the top 10 things you need to do to become a Krazy coupon lady. :)

What I Do:

Every week I get 3 newspapers ( The more you get the more you save) You will save the cost of the newspapers in one store trip:)
I clip all the coupons out and put them in my binder.
Then I look at every stores adds to see if there is good deals. (Each week go to the Krazy coupon lady's website and she will list out what deals are good ones to go do. You can click on the store you want to go to)
I also go to grocerysmarts.com, click on a store and it will tell you the deals and what coupons to use for those deals.
I pick the items I want, get my coupons ready and go shop:)
I do not use all my coupons for that week. Sometimes if you hold on to them for a little bit a better sale will come up and you can get the item for cheaper.

At Walgreen's they do register rewards which means if you buy certain things a machine will spit out a dollar amount reward.

For example, one week they had buy two Colgate toothpastes and I got $4 rewards. Plus I had coupons for the toothpaste so I got it cheaper then normal. Then in my next transaction I used the $4 rewards to pay for the next items and I just paid tax. So I got a lot more stuff for the price of 2 toothpastes.

* IMPORTANT: You always want to stack your manufacturing coupon onto a store coupon or a store sale. That is how you will save the most money. (You can not stack two manufacturing coupons for one item)

EXAMPLE:

I Got

2 Olay Lotions @ 4.99 each

4 Dove Deodorants @ 3.99 each

2 Dove body wash @ 3.99 each

Total: $34.98

Paid:$8.48

I had 2- $2 off coupons for Olay lotion from my newspaper, 4- $1 off Target coupons for any Dove product and 6- $1 off coupons for any Dove Product from printing them off from home. (I was able to use 2 coupons on some of the items because one was a manufactured coupon and one was a store coupon)

Then Target was doing a deal, if you buy 2 Olay lotions or 4 Dove products you get a $5 gift card. So I did 3 transactions.

Bought the 4 Dove then used my $5 gift card on my next purchase with my other coupons....and so on and so on

Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know.

Its so fun to see how excited and happy Korv gets when we get in the water, he is like a little boy at Christmas:)

Formula Anyone?

2011-03-03T16:34:00.000-08:00

2011-02-22T12:48:00.001-08:00

Well Korv has now been out in the world longer then he was in:) HA HA. Time is sure flying so fast with this little guy. Its crazy to think in 2 months he will be 1. I cant get over how much fun I have with him and how lucky I am to be able to stay home and watch him grow up:)

Korv is starting to stand by himself for a little bit and it is the cutest thing ever.
He is always so happy and smiling. He likes taking baths and slashing around.
We had our 1st scare with him, when he swelled up like a balloon because he had eaten eggs. That is the worst thing, to see your baby in pain.
He is a total boy. He loves driving the car and riding with dad on the 4-wheelers:)

We love ya Korv and are so grateful to have you in our life:)

St. George

2011-02-22T08:51:00.000-08:00

Nikki, Chris, Joseph and I went and stayed with Josie and Brady this weekend in St. George. It was nice to be in warmer weather.

The gang. The 1st night we went to dinner and Joseph and I were feeding Korv stuff off our salad. (A couple of appointments ago Joseph had asked if it was ok to feed Korv eggs and the doc said yes) So Joseph gave Korv some eggs.....................
Bad idea............. Korv's eye started swelling up and he broke out everywhere in hives.
It was the saddest thing to see, he was hurting so bad.
Poor little guy started throwing up then out of no where he like passed out, so to be SAFE then SORRY we took him into the ER. They gave him a steroid and watched him for a couple hours to make sure the swelling went down. So now we know NO eggs for Korver:(
The next day he was back to his normal self:)
While we were down there Joseph and Chris went 4-wheeling. They had a lot of fun.

*Thanks Josie and Brady for letting us stay with you. We had a lot of fun:)

Like Father like Son

2011-02-14T08:35:00.000-08:00

Joseph took Korv on a 4 wheeler ride. Korv was not sure what was going on.

He looked so cute
So fun.

Drill Competition

2011-02-11T10:40:00.000-08:00

When I was in High School I always had to work or be somewhere on the day the drill team competed, so when I found out it was last week I wanted to go see how Bingham was doing. Nikki and Addy came with me and Korv:)

There was a lot of good dances
It was so loud, but Korv did not seem to mind.

Nikki and Addy:) (Korv's little girlfriend:))
Korv was so tiered he fell asleep while I was just holding him. So cute.

Good Job Bingham, They won 1st in dance and kick and 2nd in military.

Caught in action

2011-02-01T20:18:00.000-08:00

Here is what I was talking about a couple posts down. Korv thinks if he points the remote at the T.V. something will happen:) It is the cutest thing ever:) He is one smart kid:)

I love how kids can figure things out:)

Charity Christmas Ball

2011-01-31T13:36:00.001-08:00

Korv is 9 months now. It is crazy how fast time flies.

Korv is 18lb (he lost a lb from last check up, probably from crawling, but the Doc said I need to feed him more:)
Korv is 29 in long. He grew 3 inches from last time.
We got Korv a walking toy and he loves it. He walks everywhere with it.
He will even give you a ride:)

* One funny thing that Korv is doing now is he will grab a remote and point it at the T.V. and try to turn it on. It is so cute:)

Aquarium

2011-01-28T11:03:00.000-08:00

Talisha, Britt and I went to the Aquarium on Wed. It was so cool, Korv and I have never been and I loved it.............so did Korv:)

Ready to go in.....

Korv was a little nervous to touch the frog until he saw Reggie touch it then he was all over it:)

The sea horses were my favorite.

Reggie and Korv had so much fun looking at all the fish swimming around. We got a season pass so we will be going a lot:)

Now he is a crawling boy:) He is so funny when he crawls.

Coeur d'Alene Idaho

2011-01-03T10:23:00.000-08:00

My cousin Tiffany got married so my mom, my sister, Korv and I flew up to go to her wedding:) It was in Coeur d'Alene Idaho and it was FREEZING!!!!!! Korv loved looking out the air plane window:)
Driving, the roads were pure ice. They do not believe in salting the roads I guess.

IT was so pretty there, the snow was everywhere.

We went and hung out at a resort by the lake, it was beautiful.

warming up by the fire.

LOVE IT:)

We got this huge peanut butter sunday. it was to die for:)

Korv is 8 months now and so much fun. He weighs about 19 lbs
Korv loves to walk around while you hold his hands. He gets on all fours and tries to stand up instead of crawl it is so funny.
He is getting the cutest personality.

He is still such a smiley baby and is almost always happy:)

We are so blessed to have this little guy in our lives. We have never loved something/someone so much then we have our little Korv. He is our best buddy.

Birthday:):)

2010-12-29T17:36:00.000-08:00

It was my Dad's birthday on Monday. He had the best cake ever:)
So if you are wondering why my dad got an eye cake here is why: My dad had a detached retina and he had to go in for surgery to fix it. His eye has been bloodshot and he can barley open it so we thought it would be funny to make him this cake.

Hope you had a great birthday dad. We love ya so much and don't you forget it:)
