Great Buys

So I thought I would post a blog about my great buys. So if you know me well I never pay full price for anything, unless its food(I don't really have a choice with that one). I have gotten alot of comments on how my kids are always dressed in name brand. Now with that being said remember I never pay full price for anything. And I have a wonderful sister who dresses her girls really cute, and Ashlynn gets alot of hand me downs. So why buy cloths at Walmart for the same price you can buy name brand cloths at any other store. For example The pair of shoes above are Puma's for my son. I bought them for a whole $12.00. Now if you can recall how much are shoes at Payless. Ummm.... Around the same price right. If not maybe even more. I should have taken more pictures of some other things I have boughten for the kids, but I didnt. I got another pair of shoes for my son they are some really cute Crocs, yes name brand again. I bought them for $10.00 and we stopped by a croc store in Oregon, and I kid you not the same freakin shoes were $30.00. You just have to be at the right place at the right time, and know where to shop also. So just to clear the air I am a bargin shopper. Dont be afraid to walk into an expensive store you can and will find things you like for great prices.

A little late, but here is our Oregon trip.

Sadly enough this is the only picture of our trip to Oregon. We were eating at the Old Spaghetti Factory. One of my old time favorites. We had a ton of fun without the kids for a week. It was nice to go back to my home town, and see some fam.

A Text I got from Scott today.

"A commercial came on for Thomas the Train and Coleton said 'that's for me'! Then a makeup commercial came on and he said 'that's for mommy!' then the next commercial comes on and he said 'that's for daddy!' I look over and its a commercial for Tide. What a little butt."

I guess that's what you get when you play mom right?

Going to the park AGAIN

It is just to nice outside to not go to the park. I had to take these pictures cause my kids will never let me put hats on them, And I think they just look so cute.

So I have posted what has been going on the last little while. This is why I have not posted earlier. We have been busy having fun.

I also got a phone call from Ashlynn's teacher at school, and she said that Ashlynn has exceeded all her goals for the year and that we needed to set some new ones. So I went to the school today to go over this with the teacher. She is doing really well, and the teacher informed me that she has a boyfriend at school. The good thing about it is at least he is LDS, and I know his mom. But still scary, and Ashlynn is not afraid to tell you what her boyfriends name is. Oh boy it starts so young. It is kind of cute.

Coleton is growing up so fast and cracks us up all the time. He has a special talent. He can poop on demand. I know like I said SPECIAL talent. The kid always wants a piece of candy. So he poops like 10 times a day on command.

Scott is back in school. His load is a little lighter than it was last semester, but still taking rough classes.

I am working my little behind off, and trying to take care of appointments. IEP's for Ashlynn, and taking care of the kids so Scott can study for school. So I rarely have time to post anything. I do try. I am finishing up a 4 day weekend that was full of things to do. Scott and I got to go on a date thanks to Scott brother Ben who invited all the kids over for a slumber party. So we went to dinner and a movie. It was nice to get out. We never get that chance anymore.

Saturday is a special day.....

...Its a day to get ready for Sunday. I put curlers in Ashlynn's hair for church and she is really funny about having things in her hair when she goes to bed. He expressions say it all. I thought is was cute, and was going to get a picture of the after math, and totally never had a moment to stop. We had two baby blessings, a luncheon, and the super bowl party. It was a big day. And then we ended our day with an intense game that we lost.
