Holy Cow!! What a good deal!!


So i have been stalking coupon/deal blogs lately and I got the BEST deal today. There was a $10 off Target coupon for the LeapFrog Alphabet Pal (regularly $20). I read on one of the blogs that Target will price match other stores. Toys R Us had the toy on sale for $10.49, so if I used the coupon I would get it for .49 cents! I got the ad from Toys R Us and went off to Target to get the toy....well Target was all out! HOWEVER, I also read on the blog that WalMart will take competitors coupons, and it was on sale at WalMart for $15.00. I called them just to make sure, they said they did. So off to WalMart I went. They had the toy and I took it up to customer service with my coupon. I had to wait for a while they made sure with a manager that they could take the coupon. WELL the toy rang up for $9.00!! The girl did an override on the coupon so I got the toy for FREE!!!!! It made my whole day!

Summer 2009

What else do you do on a gloomy day such as today? You do a huge massive LARGE post on your summer vacation. So get ready for a picture overload...

Family BBQ

Every year we try to have a family BBQ. This year Dave's Aunt Julie had it at her house...REALLY good food and great times with the fam...

Dave's Cousin Andrew...

This is Dave's Aunt Julie....


Uncle Dave manning the BBQ

Adi May


Paige


Sam and Eddie Wrestling....




Trip to Utah

For the past few years we have tried to make it out to Utah to visit my parents in Cedar City. This year we went the Zion's National Park...it was so HOT but we had a great time..



Another thing we do when we are in Cedar is go to the Shakespearean Festival. While we were at the Green Show, Sam spotted two girl sand decided to go and talk to them....

Summer Fun

We borrowed a slip and slide from some friends of ours and the kids had a blast! More like a slip and drag though. Sam still asks to go on it even though it's only like fifty degrees!





Swimming Lessons

I took the kids to swimming lessons again this year...Camryn as usual did a great job...
Sam on the other hand wouldn't even go in the water...I got my money back for his lessons...



Fourth of July!!!

Every July Fourth we go out to Dave's dad's to have a BBQ and watch the awesome fireworks. It's also Dave's sister Paige's birthday. What better way to celebrate then with family and fireworks...









Thanks for bareing with me to the end....Hope you enjoyed living vicariously through us. Our Summer ROCKED!!!

Bralltercation / 30th Birthday

Way back in June (I can't believe I haven't posted this yet) Dave and I and our awesome friends the Mowrer's rented a place out on the Sandy River for what we like to call Bralltercation. It also fell on my 30th birthday so it was a two for one great time. We had some GREAT breakfasts:


The Mowrer's Heather and Eric (Eric is the one with the beard)

We spent a lot of time relaxing...

Reading over rules for new games

Playing said game

There was a great tree swing out back
Heather and I took the short 5 minute walk down to look at the river

I love this picture, even though it is a little blurry...so serene

Aaaaand then she fell in.... I wish I had gotten closer so you could see the water she was wringing out of her sweater.
This is what I woke up to on my birthday... 30 balloons each one had a piece of paper in it saying something nice about me....I loved it!

Then we went to Calamity Jane's for lunch...best burgers around I swear.....
Oh I almost forgot (not really) but, we went to Calamity Jane's the day we headed out for our trip and as I was up getting something from the salad bar, my loving sweet husband and "friends" decided to tell the waitress that it was my birthday, and for those of you who have never been to Calamity Jane's on your birthday they MAKE you ride around on a horse on a stick....And for those of you who don't know me very well, there is nothing that embarrasses me more than drawing attention to myself. You would think that Dave and my "friends" would know this. But alas, the waitress stood there and was pretty firmly planted I might add, waiting for me to gallop around the place. I did it. After I sat down I was laughing out of pure humiliation, and crying from being mortified! It was NOT a good time for me. It might be funny someday...maybe... I am still trying to think of a way to get Dave and my "friends" back for this...
