My kids are cute and so are there excited faces

What can I say but that this is one of his many excited faces

Well hers just still makes me laugh - she was trying on her skirt she got for her birthday for the first time - can you tell?

And the babes has a better excited face but the 2 second delay on my slacker camera gives you just happy...but I'll take happy anyday

Kiersten's Birthday Party

Kiersten had a princess party and everyone dressed up like a princess - because all little girls are and they had a great time.

The Strawberry cupcakes

Making Necklaces and having fun

Piggies!!!!!

So after trying forever to put a hair clip in....and failing miserably - she just doesn't have the hairline for it yet, I realized she had enough for piggies....this was the photo of her first offical piggie day :)

Happy Easter - just a lotta bit late

So I really tried to get the 3 of them together for a photo on Easter - this is the best out of about 6 photos before kara was done sitting on anyones lap - they all looked so cute!!! My best evan comment of easter is...... mom how did the easter bunny know just what I wanted? Oh I know he says to me......Santa Claus must have told him because he watches us to make sure we are being good - well every day but one. What day is that I ask him - Christmas of course because thats when he's delivering the presents - gotta love the funny things they say

One of my best couponing trips yet!!!

O.K. I know 2 posts of couponing stuff and none of the kids - I really am going to be better - but I was so proud of my last little shopping adventures.... So today I went to the store and they were out of the cheap cereal of course...grrr but I still think my shopping was fantastic!!! So 3 gallons of milk, diapers, olive oil, a ham, a pizza, sugar the other stuff and all for....wait for it..........24.02 with tax! Not to mention that I have a $10 mail in rebate on the ham so really its like I paid 14.02 for everything by the time I'm done.....happy shopping...and I swear couponing does work..... bit of work but so worth it on days like these...whoooohooooo

Crazy for Coupons

O.K. So first off went to the store with 3 children who all behaved and made it home before 9 - right there its a good day, but when I actually do my couponing good....its like my own little shopping high.........Today I bought all of this and only paid 35.65 with the tax and I have a mail in rebate on one of the items so another $2 check coming back to me and got 3 coupons that printed out for a a gallon of milk for free each up to 4.69 for each gallon....I am so getting the good stuff :)

Tutu's, Tutu's Everywhere...and a Diaper Cake too

So as many of you know I have been playing in tutu's for a while now - new obsession I guess, but all of these tutus were made for Make A Wish to give back a little. They will be auctioned off next weekend. Our fav wish granter and her friend Rachel came out and helped make a couple and helped me decorate them all.....I hope they make a lot of money on them, so other people can enjoy their wish as much as Evan does his. While they were out we helped make a diaper cake unrelated to the auction, but it was soooooo pretty when it was done I had to take a picture too.
