Why I love my cell phone...

(I know I know...2 posts in one week! Try to contain yourself...)

As I was browsing through the 400+ photos I've taken (along with the kids) on my cell phone, I realized that many of them are crazy, random, and fun memories that I've been able to capture all on my little device. Some have been while on the road to the grandparents house, some have been out to eat, and some have been here at home. Nonetheless, I thought they were fun and would share them!

My cell phone has this fun little program with all sorts of photo borders that we got a little carried away with one day while we were waiting in the car for Daniel.

Matthew in Jail...


Katherine, my little monkey...


Turning on that Hollywood heat...


Christopher, my other monkey...


Aghhh...I'm in jail!

So this is what we do when we go to McDonalds and I have to use the potty. The last time we went, Christopher was so fascinated with the LOUD noise the toilets made every time you flush and had to investigate it further. Of course, Matthew had to help push the button to make it go many times. Needless to say, I make quick potty trips nowadays (but I guess not quick enough!) (Before you freak out, yes this is AFTER we ate, and YES we washed our hands thoroughly after this picture)


After church one day, Katherine was playing with my phone in the car on the way home so she could take pictures with it. I turned around to find poor Christopher had been labeled and she thought it was so funny. She took a good picture of it so she could show me what she'd done:) Ahh, kids...

OK, and this story cracks me up every time. So you know how I'm a bargain shopper, right? Well someone was giving away a tall fake ficus tree on Freecycle, and so I decided to go pick it up in our car on our way to the Mall. Well I didn't think it was going to be SO big. It was completely covering all 3 kids in the back seat who were sleeping and covered half of Daniel who was driving. The kids had no idea there was a tree covering them until they woke up and freaked out and thought we were in the jungle. I was laughing so hard the whole way home and was basically crying by the time we got there. You can tell by this picture that Daniel thought it was super funny...lol, but he was a great sport about it.


This is Christopher trying on Grandma's glasses at a restaurant recently. He loves trying on other's sunglasses and taking them on and off, on and off. I just had to snap a shot of this...too cute.
Well I have many more pictures on my cell phone, but just looking through them made me smile. I'm so glad I have a phone that I can capture those random, in-the-moment times that are priceless, even if it's on my cell phone.

Oh, Mary - these are great! I LOVE the ficus story! I'll be smiling for a while thinking about that one. Hope you're well!

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...

Whew...what a week/end!

This past weekend my brother got married in Indiana and we had a great but exhausting time. Who would have ever thought that taking a weekend trip to see your brother get married would be so much fun but even more exhausting? Well this was the kids first airplane trip and they enjoyed it! We left Thursday evening after Daniel got home from work to drive to Houston so we could fly out from there on Friday morning. We ended up getting to Houston around 9:30 p.m. and didn't get to bed until 10:30 and we had to be up at 3:45 AM on Friday to catch our 6 a.m. flight. I couldn't sleep Thursday night for fear that I would miss the alarm clock so I tossed and turned all night. Plus we were all pretty excited so that made it even harder to sleep. I was thinking the kids would wake up pretty grouchy at 3:45 but to our amazement, they were up and excited and ready to go. They didn't even go back to sleep in the car! When we got to the airport, I realized we had a few pitied eyes looki...

6 years...

So it's January 19th...our anniversary! I can't believe we've been married for six years. In some ways it seems like we've been married such a loooonngg time, but in other ways it feels like we're still dating. Nevertheless, the past 6 years have been great, even as I remember the challenges we've faced together. I think they've just made us stronger. I can honestly say that after 6 years, we have never had a fight where both of us were angry and yelling at each other...like the movies. Thank the Lord! There may have been times where we weren't just soo lovey dovey with each other, or may have said things that weren't nice, but for some reason we seem to get over it quickly and move on. I'm thankful for Daniel and how loving he is towards me and his consistency in showing love to me no matter what. After 6 years, 3 kids, 4 apartments, 1 house, 1 dog, and 3 cities later, I'm so blessed to have Daniel as my husband!
