My Shopping Trip Today

I spent about 2.5 hours yesterday planning all of this and then I spent 2 hours going to 4 stores.  I don’t feel like I wasted gas because three of the store were close to each other and Sundays tend to be boring anyway so what’s 2.5 hours?  Anyway, I’m really proud of what I did today and how much money I saved my family.  I spent $43.00 for everything on my kitchen table. (Please note I am subtracting rebates to get that total but I’ll take it!) Which to me sounds like a lot of money so let me break everything down…

       

* 1 Mega pkg. of Luvs diapers

* 2 gallons of milk

* 6 cans of vegetables

* 2 Steam fresh Meals

* 8 boxes of Wheat Thins

* 2 boxes of Ritz crackers

*5 bananas

* 2  5 oz beef steaks

* 5 containers of baby wipes

* 1 box Benevia Health Drinks (I wouldn’t normally get something like this but I needed it to MAKE $1.79 at RiteAid : )

*6 blanket sleeper pajamas for Tyson

The blanket sleepers is what made my total so high.  However I got each 2 pkg for $11.18 so it was a great deal on them and he really, really, really needed them.  We’ve been talking about getting him new ones for about a month and a half now. 

I want to show you how much my total increased because of the PJ’s.  My total with out the much needed PJ’s is around $9.50!!! (I don’t now how to subtract tax but that’s a really good guess)

I really can’t believe it.  Isn’t a Mega pkg. of Luvs diapers around $15 to $16 dollars at Wal-Mart or something?!  Yeah, I’m pretty happy with myself.  Pride is not a good thing but I think I’m gonna be prideful about this one for a little while ; )

Tyson saw me taking pictures and wanted to be in some.  Please ignore his nasty crusty face.  I keep him quiet at the store with snacks…

Disaster

I love my son.  I do not love it when he does this…

            

I turn my back for 10 minutes and he destroys the house!  I clean this type of mess up twice a day!  Enough is enough.  I know he knows how to “clean up” (he has learned from nursery) so from here on out he is going to help me at least put his toys back in the basket! *sigh* I love him.  I really, really do!  : )

How can I not?!

 

$3.02

Got this stuff for $3.02.  What can you get with $3.02? : )

Halloween 2009

This Halloween was pretty fun because we went Trick or Treating!  I don’t think I’ve been for like 12 years!  Of course it wasn’t for me but I got to still enjoy the whole process.  Tyson got the hang of it real quick that he was suppose to stand by the door, knock, and then grab a piece of candy (or two, or three!) out of the giant bowl.  He would then put the candy in Dallin’s bucket…not his own.  Silly kid!  At least he knows how to share right?  Anyway, it was really fun to have Tyson walking around.  This year Tyson really loved his dog costume and kept the hood on for a long time!  Here are some pictures of him playing outside and right before we hit the doors.  Hope everyone had a fun holiday.   I have to say though, Halloween is probably my LEAST favorite holiday.  Guess I picked that up from my dad…I mean who came up with the whole idea anyway?!

      

Ty riding some kid’s toy outside our condo that he is obsessed with!

 

This is basically what Ty did after he knocked on the door.  In 3 houses he took a few steps INTO the house!  I was really embarrassed!

     

Playing with Mike and Emily’s dog Sparky…he LOVES dogs!

  

Joe, Heather and Dallin!

      

Best Friends!  They don’t look happy but I promise they had a good time.

 

     

Hike

We went on a 1 mile hike this morning with some of our friends!  I thought it was going to be super easy but it turned out to be pretty steep.  It was fun and I know I got some great exercise. Here are some pictures. 

Pretty waterfall!

        

This next picture is a little blurry!  I thought Tyson was going to stay still for the picture but he turned and started running toward the stream.  Don’t worry…I saved him before he got to it : )

Our lovely friends!

    

Thanks guys for suggesting the hike!

Look what I made!

For the first time in my life I am not dreading doing the dishes today.  Do you think it might have to do with this?

 

I was lucky enough to make this dish towel last night.  Adorable?  Yeah, that’s what I thought too : )

Fall

We spent this past weekend in Payson for Aunt Tanya’s funeral.  It was nice to be with Brian’s family.  Aunt Tanya had one of the most outgoing personalities I have ever met!  She never ceased to put a smile on anyone’s face!  It was a nice funeral.  I will miss her this Thanksgiving for sure.  On Sunday we went to church and then went on a drive and walk through Payson canyon with Rob,Tina, Kaelin, Sean and Savanna.  Here are some fun fall pictures from that.

Tyson running away not listen to us as usual while Savanna did…

Rob, Tina, Kaelin, Sean and Savanna.

On Friday night my mother-in-law, Wilma, helped me sew some blankets for Jenny’s (Brian’s sister) baby shower.  She is having a little boy and is due on Halloween!  Here are the cute fabrics I picked out and the finished projects.  I have to post these because they are my very first blankets I have sewn.  (I made a quilt when I was like 12 for a church project but my leader at the time, Sis. Prince, pretty much did everything for me for it. ; )) and because I know my mother will be very proud to see these.  Thanks for the help Wilma!
