Birthday

Addison has celebrated her first birthday it's so amazing how much she has changed I had time to myself on her birthday to reminisce about her and what it took to get her here in our life. Trying for a year and ending on fertility drugs I would never had traded those days, yes it was painful but I have her a sweet and lovable girl. She is walking and thinking that she can do whatever her big sister does. We say she is a big personality in a little body. We love her and wish her a many wonderful years. I promise that there will be pictures next time

Sickness

Here I am sitting here sick and I mean sick. Sweet Addison got the flu first my what a trooper she would throw up cry a little , I would give her a hug and rub her back she would proceed to come back up with a huge smile and want to play. This lasted just friday. Saturday K'Lee proceeded with it she would be sick and cry and cry wanted me to hold her and cuddle her let and would lay there. She was mad at me because she could not lay on the bed for awhile because at the time I was doing laundry and cleaning out their room so I had clothes everywhere she was able to lay on the bed later and was comforatable . Later that night TJ asked me if I was feeling OK I said why he said that I looked a little tired and flushed I turned to him Moms don't get sick. Guess what THEY DO!! I have never felt this sick since I was a kid. And thrown up this much either, not even when I was pregnant just woozy. Sorry no pictures yet I am trying get all my pictures on one computer.

Pinching your pennies

I don't know about you guys but I like to find good deals and walk away knowing that I saved money. A few of the ladies in my ward learned this thing with coupons, they have been trying to get me to do it for a few months but I was not so inclined in to cutting coupons. Just give me the deal without coupons. Well guess what I decided to try just once yes just once. I cut and collected the coupons from my mom and Grandma Wing and then from a friend from the ward. I had another friend helped me at the store by showing me how it works. As I was putting the stuff into the cart I was getting kinda worried because I was getting stuff that we as a family likes but don't get often due to the price. We got up to the check stand and I watched my total get higher and higher and then I handed the coupons over, and I proceeded to watch my total get lower and lower by the end I had saver over $50 bucks now I walked out of there very proud of myself and not only that but also felt that I have contributed to the family by saving money and I am hooked I have saved over the last month $250 dollars. I think I am in love with saving. There is a website if you ever want to check it out. www.pinchingyourpennies.com . It's such a rush to watch the money you save. And the husbands like it they just won't admit it I have even shown my mom. It has also helped with our food storage. I hope you all check out the website and happy shopping!!
