Yesterday the boys and I made freezer jam. They were such a big help! They loved to stir and they stirred and stirred and stirred. They stayed and helped until every bit of it was done. It's my favorite kind of project to do together.

Personal Best


I have been using a grocery website to save money on our groceries. It has been awesome!! I save at least 30% each trip, but sometimes I have even gotten things for free. I was so excited. Today was one of those days. So I thought I would share it with you. I don't know if you can see the receipt, but I bought 4 boxes of cereal. I paid $3.47, used $15.08 in coupons and then they gave me a coupon for $3 off my next purchase. If you do the math that makes each box of cereal 11 cents. Can't go wrong with that. Too bad there was a limit!!

Kennin's tools


Kennin takes this sword & flashlight everywhere. If he doesn't have pockets he puts a belt on and hangs the sword & flashlight on them.

Sienna's hair


Sienna has so much hair!! It grows so fast and there is so much of it! These are her first pigtails with all of her hair.

Visit from Giffords


We had so much fun with the Gifford's at our house. To our delight they even stayed an extra day!! Jake is adorable! The boys took were so nice to him and took good care of him (Kennin especially). Jake is getting sooo big. The best part of our visit was knowing that the Giffords will be back in less than 3 months to visit again!! I tried to get a picture with all of the kids, but they didn't want to sit still. It was pretty funny.
