Coupons!!!!!


I just love coupons!! I have discovered you can buy them on ebay and have a larger quantity to get more of specific things you want. Really you are buying people time to cut them out because it is illegal to buy coupons etc.
Whatever all I know is I got a 138$ bill down to 48$ at kroger today!!! I bought 20 (8pack)Juicey Juice box drinks and 13 boxes of Kashi cereal. The juice boxes came out to be around 18 cents a box! And boy we will sure use them now that Ammon is taking lunch to school.

Our Little Visitors

Saturday we did lots of yard work. There was a rabbit stuck in our netting we used over the vegetable garden in the spring, so we let it out and chased it away. Well latter while pulling the weeds out I saw fur and then I dig deeper and discovered 4 baby rabbits! We called animal control and they told us to put them back and that the mother would move them that night, but she didn't. We think she still comes to feed them but leaves during the day. They were only one week old but now they have opened their eyes and are moving all over the place.


The boys were so excited and wanted to keep them as pets. We will just keep them until they get big enough to hop out of the garden and take care of themselves. Probably in a month or so. Everyday after school we go out and "play" with them. Hee Hee

Camera Suggestions??

My eight year old digital camera is on its death bed. I have't even looked into it yet but does anyone have any suggestions of digital cameras they just love? I probably don't want to spend more than 300$ I have a kodak easy share right now and I have loved it but I kinda want a more high quality one...we will see.

Quality Time with Dad

The other day Ammon asked if I was going anywhere that night. (alot of the time I have a meeting or play on a soccer/tennis team or go to enrichment etc.) I replied that I wasn't and asked him why he was asking. He said "I want to watch dad play warcraft". I immediately went and told Jeff and we both started laughing!

Ammon Turns 6 Years Old


Ammon is now six years old. I feel bad because his actual birthday was not much of a celebration. We had planned on some family time and Ammon and I were going to make some cupcakes that day, but Brandon had his first real asthma attack and we spent all afternoon at the doctors office.
Ammon was so sweet when I explained that Brandon had to go to the Dr. Ammon said "yes, okay, of course if Brandon is sick we should do that so he can get better" There was no sadness at all. Ammon truly is such a giving, understanding and caring person!
After the Dr. we met Jeff at Red Lobster and Ammon got to pet the lobsters. Since we didn't have time to make cupcakes we bought some donuts and after opening his presents of new legos Ammon didn't even want to eat any.
We made up for this lousy celebration by going to sea world that weekend. Ammon loved it! His favorite part was the dolphin show! He stood next to the glass after one show and the baby beluga pressed his face right up against Ammons!

Ammon's First Day of Kindergarten

Ammon now goes to kindergarten at Dodd Elementary. School starts at 7:25 (way to early in my opinion!). His teacher is Mrs. Kelly and he absolutely loves her.
On the first day of school Ammon was not nervous at all. He just gave Jeff ,Brandon, and I a hug and a kiss and went off to his seat.
When I picked him up after school he ran out to me gave me a big hug and said school was great with the biggest smile on his face!! When I asked for more detail he slapped both his hands on his cheeks and said "can we just go home first?" Do you think I got any details when we got home? Nope none...I guess my visions of sitting and talking and eating chocolate chip cookies will not be realized. Hee Hee

Life is Flying Bye

I just wanted to write a quick note to any of you who may have noticed I haven't blogged in a month. Ammon started kindergarten and I now teach preschool four days a week. Life is super busy but great! I will write in detail soon....I promise!
