My New Obsession

K - so I've been so excited about this lately - that I feel that I need to share it! It has seriously saved Ty and I TONS of money. It COUPONING!!! Everytime I go to the grocery store I save AT LEAST 50% plus! No lie! Call me crazy - but it's awesome. Especially in these economic times - it's worth the time that it takes to cut the coupon's and then look through the ads. There are actually some websites that will do all that work for you. Here are some of the blogs and site's that I watch to see what deals are going on.

These are just a few - but there will be enough info there to get you hooked! I'm actually headed out to Walgreen's to stock up on stuff! Happy couponing!

Playing Catch Up!

K - so I know I've been a HUGE slacker in updating the blog. I swear I've been busy. Between work, home, and this little monster below it's enough to keep me running! If you haven't seen Dylan lately this is what he is looking like! Ty and I comment almost daily about how he is becoming more of a little boy and not so much our little baby each day. He has quite the sense of humor and loves to get into everything. He's a silly goose - he makes this squintty-eye look (seen here on the left) every time I try and take a picture of him! He is also play copy-cat more! SO CUTE!
On last Thursday we went to visit Megan and Tori (her little girl!) Dylan had a blast with the piano. He would play a couple of notes and then turn to us and start laughing! We might need to invest in one - one of these days!

Then that night Christina and I went to see Twilight. We were surrounded by high school girl's! We went to the 12:10 a.m. showing.....I know we are crazy! I enjoyed the movie because it stayed on track with the book a lot more then usual. BUT you could tell that it was aimed at teenagers - AND when they had started the film it wasn't as popular - but then by the end of the movie - when it was getting more attention - the make-up was better, acting was better, etc. etc.
This was the scene we were a part of - when I took this picture 1 line had already been seated! It was crazy! Side note - we waited in line 2 and 1/2 hours! CRAZY!


And Christina is probably going to kill me for this one but we were so delirious from lack of sleep that we were having WAY too much fun! All in all it was a fun night!

Now this next week we have Thanksgiving coming up and a trip to New Mexico - so I will be sure and take more pic's!

Random

So this weekend we sold Happy. (sadness) We hadn't had any luck with our ad we had posted on ksl.com - so we took her over to Sportsman's Warehouse. There were so many cute dogs. While we were there we saw Blood Hounds, a Boxer, English Bulldogs, German Shorthairs, AND White Labs. She had lots of competition - but she went to a cute little family with a little girl that wouldn't let go of her. SO the lady who bought Happy didn't have the cash on hand SO her sister wrote us a check. WELL - her sister's last name is PARK - AND she is from IDAHO! Crazy huh!
ALSO - crazy random - I got stung by a bee.........in November. The little guy got we twice on my neck. I started feeling dizzy and tingalee so we went to the E.R. and they gave me Benadryl and some steroids. I usually have really bad allergic reactions - but since it has been so cold etc. the little guy didn't have enough venom - hence why I had only a mild reaction. Now - my neck just feels like I have a huge bruise on it. I REALLY DO HATE BEE'S!!!!
ANY WHO - that was my fun RANDOM weekend!
