My New Addiction!

My friend Shea got me into coupon shopping a couple of months ago and I have been hooked since. It is so addicting and so fun! The other night we had dinner and then left the kiddos with their dads to enjoy Monday Night Football together. We had a great shopping night. I spent about $6.00 total on all of this!!! What did I get?- 8 tubes of toothpaste (stocking up for a Christmas project)
- 5 sticks of deodarant (same thing)
- Batteries
- Face lotion
- 4 Glade candles
- Windex wipes
- 2 multi surface cleaners
- Zantrex energy shots

Yep, that is why I am addicted!

Big Gulp

It is no secret that I love Dr. Pepper and nothing beats a Big Gulp from 7-Eleven! The other night Ryan went and got us drinks so we had 2 cups laying around. This morning I was trying to find the boys and could hear them but could not figure out where they were. I finally found them in the bathroom drinking their Big Gulps. I am such a great influence. This is exactly how I found them!

Flexing Boys!

Today Ryan was teaching the boys how to flex. I know this is sideways but I can't get it to turn. I am so mad and I don't know why I recorded it this way. Anyway, if you have a lap top turn it sideways. These boys make me laugh everyday!

Oh to be 18 again?!?

Happy birthday to my baby sister! I cannot imagine our family without Kelsey in it. She has the most vibrant personality and can always make me laugh! Kelsey is a wonderful sister and aunt. All the kids adore her and she is so good to them. We love you Kels! I hope you have a wonderful birthday, you deserve it!

For her birthday we wanted to put together a book of advice. So, I am asking all of my blogging friends and stalkers to give me your thoughts. Think back to when you were 18 years old, graduating from High School, dating the school football star, moving onto college, leaving home, etc.

What advice do you have for my little sister???

Leave your comments below and we will type them and put them in a book to give to her. We thought it would be fun for her to read. Thanks for your help!

Trick Or Treat!!

The boys looked adorable! I loved their Superman costumes (actually PJ's)! Here are the 4 kids! They all looked so cute!Geoff even dressed up!
Brady was very confused..as we would walk up to every door he would get a piece of candy out of his bag and when they would open the door he would put candy in their buckets. He did this at every house. It was so funny!We had fun trick or treating! Brady and Easton loved it! It was a little different than what we are used to. At my parents neighborhood there are a million kids and the doorbell rings all night. That was not the case here.

We went to Geoff and Aleena's for soup with some friends and then headed out trick or treating. There were hardly any other kids out and not very many people had lights on so we only went to a few houses. I am fine with it because Brady and Easton don't need anymore candy than what they got, it was just kind of weird to me. Now we are home and have not had 1 trick or treater. Too bad!

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving Fun!

I have been insisting that we carve pumpkins with Brady and Easton this year. Originally Ryan was not too excited about the idea but went along with it anyway. It ended up being a lot of fun for all of us!

They had fun sticking their hands in and helping us get out all the junk!Once the pumpkins were cleaned out all they wanted to do was put everything back in. I finally got them a bowl and they put it all in there instead. It entertained them the whole time Ryan and I carved. When we lit them and turned out the lights Brady kept saying "WOW!!" It was so funny! I bet you can't guess which one is mine and which one is Ryan's?!? We put them out on the porch and for the rest of the night Brady and Easton waved and said, "bye bye pumpkins." Everything is so much more fun when you have kids to share it with. I have never been a huge pumpkin carving fan but this year it was a lot of fun!

St. George

We were able to go to St. George with my family for some much needed R&R last weekend. It was so much fun! I drove down with my mom, Kelsey, and her friend Wes. We made Brady and Easton wear these headphones so we didn't have to listen to their shows! They looked so funny!Daddy and Brady!Still Ryan's favorite trick!Kelsey beat Ryan in a race! We went on a little hike! Easton was gripping my dad's face because he was scared...my dad is such a good sport!We watched Barney with Aria!On Sunday we went to church and then went and walked around the Temple!We love Aunt Kelsey and this could be the cutest picture ever!Sisters! These 2 were such good sports and were so good with my kids. We had fun hanging out, playing games, and swimming!My kids do not like sand...can you tell?They loved playing on the playground!They loved hanging out with Kels and Wes!Thanks mom and dad/mama and papa for the great trip and for letting the boys sleep in your closet! We love you!
