We're back!

So we got back from 5 fun filled days in Utah! We hit Boondocks, Lagoon, the pool, the park, and I got my first pedicure, and we went out on our anniversary date and got to see Harry Potter 6! It was a blast! We got back last night, and this morning I jalked or wogged my first 5k... it was a blast! The timer broke so I have no idea how long it took (I do know it was less than 50 minutes!)But I started strong and I finished strong, there was a few issues in between but all is good, and now I am looking foward to my next one on Sept 5th. I will post pictures later of all of the above! I love family vacations!

Oh, and you should see my garden, I swear it grew 4 times the size it was while we were gone! even the watermelon started growing... Of course the pumpkins are doing their best to overtake everything they can, but it is gonna be a great harvest, I can feel it! Jen sure knows how to make a garden grow! Thanks Jen!

6 years and counting...

So this year a lot happened! When we were just getting ready to move this time last year, little did we know that after that move we had three more moves ahead of us! We didn't know we would go through cancer treatment, or live with both sides of the family. Basically, we had no clue! But I can tell you that our 6th anniversary is going as planned. We went early this morning to get pictures taken, went out to lunch, and then we enjoyed a family nap (yes all of us in the same bed). We seriously love cuddling with our boys! And next Wednesday me and Tyler get to go watch Harry Potter 6! We were supposed to go tonight but I will do anything for a free babysitter, so we are waiting. Anyway, without any more waiting, here are our family pictures!


These are two 20 x 20 pictures that we ordered. (buy one get one free) I love collages~

Here are pictures that are priceless because it shows my boys personalities, they were wrestling and giggling!

Here are two of the better family pictures that we got... even 4 smiles in one of them!


Here is probably one of my favorites and then another collage... love it!

Randomness

Things going on in our house lately:

• Cameron spent his first night away from us, he took his brother to Grandma and Grandpa Powers house for two nights, the 1-3rd
• Cameron made his first ER visit the night of the 1st, which was only over once he received 3 stitches in the middle of his forehead
• I fell apart once the kids drove away (what is a Stay at Home Mom supposed to do without kids?)
• We cleaned our carpets
• We went out to dinner, AND enjoyed it
• We rented a redbox and cuddled on the couch
• I slept in, and made myself go back to sleep when I woke up, just becuase I could.
  
• We spent the 4th of July in Washington on the Pasco side of the river, without Grandpa, he had his own ER visit, he popped out his knee.
• Cameron got his stitches out on the 6th
  
• All three of my boys got hair cuts tonight, there was quite a large pile of hair on the floor when we got done, in three very distinct colors, White blond, dark blond/brown, and black (with a hint of grey:)
• I got my hair trimmed up yesterday, it was beginning to be a mullet, why does that back of your hair grow faster than the top?
• I started walking a few months ago, an hour a night, a few weeks ago I decided to up the fat burning and add some jogging, I found out I love it, one problem, I am not loosing any weight!
• I found a 5k I am going to TRY to jog on the 25th.. excited!
• The garden is growing like crazy except one thing, the watermelon. It won't get any bigger. The rest of everything that seemed to be on hiatus has kicked into high gear since the temperature has risen.
• We are looking forward to the Wardle reunion , my 6 month cancer checkup, and Tyler and my 6th anniversary, oh and my 25th Birthday!
  

A new goal...

I am sooo excited! I am gonna jog a 5k!.. I have less than three weeks, its on the 25th!... Hope I can do it!

More adventures in couponing

So I have enjoyed the couponing thing, although I don't get the paper, I do the printables you can find on the Internet. My favorite so far were the .75 off gallon of milk, 1.00 off 2lb cheese, and 1.00 yogurt. ( you can print them off twice, so I stocked up!) Although I cleaned my carpet yesterday and was happy for the 1.00 off scotch gaurd coupon. This couponing thing really is helping me save my three month supply and making us more aware of prices. FUN! Anybody else had good luck with couponing?
