Jumping on the bed

The kiddos like to jump on our bed. I figure why not let them, it's exercise right? Anyway, it's cute so here are some pictures.This is what Cailyn gives me when I ask her to smile pretty for the camera.

I did it again-yes I'm still a nerd

Here's my awesome deal from yesterday.

I got:

2 Excedrin-24 count
2 Garnier Herbashine hair color.
1 Garnier Fructis Shampoo
1 Garnier Fructis Conditioner
1 Finesse 2in1 Shampoo/Conditioner
3 Finesse Conditioner
1 Boiron Adult Cold Calm
1 Boiron Child Cold Calm

Before coupons this would have cost $56.28, I paid $32.63. Plus I got back $15.00 in Register Rewards and Up Rewards, and I will get back $12.98 in rebates. Which makes the total final cost $4.65. It would have been less but they were out of two products that would have made me some money, if I had been able to get them I would have had two more products and a total cost of $1.64. Oh well, better luck next time. I still think I did pretty darn good. I saved $51.63, right on!

Awesomeness

This is my coupon deal of awesomeness. I got all this stuff for $-.96. That's right a actually made ninety six cents on buying this stuff. Here's what I got.

1 three ring binder
1 box of 30 ziplock 1 gallon freezer bags

2 one night movie rentals from Redbox (Alpha & Omega-for the kids, Letter to Juliet-for me)

The price before deals and coupons would have been $51.99, that's a savings of $52.95. Yep, I actually saved more than I would have spent in the first place. I bet your wondering why I'm posting about my super cool shopping trip, and the answer is, I'm a nerd.

Gracie Jo Irwin

Gracie Jo Irwin was born on June 25th 2010. I had her by c-section so I have no exciting birth stories, unless you want to hear about the panic attack I had as the anesthesia was setting in. My Mom came up to see her and to help with the kids while I was in the hospital. She was 7lbs. 14oz. and I can't for the life of me remember how long she was, somewhere between 20-1/2 and 21-1/2 inches. She has really dark hair, which is weird because Braden's is only kind of dark and Cailyn's is super blond and Jordan and I were both blond kids. We'll see if it stays dark. Here are some pictures from the hospital.

Roller Skates

Jordan and I got Cailyn a pair of roller skates for her birthday, you know the ones that strap on over the shoes. She loved them but was a little scared of them. She hasn't been on them very much and I'm worried that she may have outgrown them already. But at least we got some pictures of her first go on them.

Lot's of Catch Up

So, I haven't posted since Braden's birthday, and a lot has happened since then. So plan on seeing a whole lot of post over the next few days. Braden started walking about 2 days after his birthday, and has been all over the place ever since. Then again he should be, he's almost 18 months now. Maybe I should start posting things sooner. Anyway, we had a birthday party for Cailyn and Braden on June 12th. My Mom and Dad and Nathan came up from Medford for the party. It wasn't the best planned party in the world but it was fun. Here's some pics of the day.

The awesome cake Heather made for them.

Gracie's Blessing Day

Oops, I wrote this forever ago(back in September) and forgot to post it.

Yesterday was Gracie's blessing day. My Mom, Dad, Nathan, Katie and Wesley came up from Medford for it. Also Jordan's sister Jenny and her family came to our ward for the blessing. So, super cool story. Jordan gave a beautiful blessing and afterward the bishopric asked that we all sit quietly while they prepare the sacrament. I thought, "that's weird, why isn't the sacrament ready yet." So after a few minutes of waiting and wondering what was going on, the doors on the side of stand open and a group of men walk in, and who was with them? That's right, Eldar David A. Bednar. He said that he was meeting some other general authorities there and was 20 minutes early so he decided to go to sacrament meeting and "freak some people out". He stood up and bore his testimony of the living Christ and then left. It was such a neat day for our family, I felt so blessed to be in the same room as a prophet and listen to him testify that Christ lives. Now we have a cool story to tell Gracie about her blessing day, it was super special.
