Happy 6th Birthday, Katherine!

We had fun celebrating Katherine's birthday yesterday and I can't believe she's already 6 years old! Time flies by so quickly and you never really believe it when people tell you until they're all grown up.

Katherine has been and is such a joy to our family. Sometimes I wonder if she's an angel just by how mature she responds to things, how unselfish she is, and how genuinely she cares for other people. She is always sharing things unselfishly with her brothers, sharing the Gospel with her friend down the street, and always has a heart of obedience towards us. I must admit that she has been an easy child and a wonderful girl who loves the Lord. We are blessed!

Here are a few pictures from her family birthday celebration on Saturday. I tried to make a Barbie cake, which wasn't as hard as I thought! I was actually really pleased with it, but wish I would have bought the candy letters for the Happy Birthday part because trying to handwrite with icing on a vertical cake was tough! But I think it turned out ok...

Thanks to everyone for all the fun toys, books, cards, and presents!

She wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese this year and had lots of fun. There were a lot of new rides and a horse with animated screen that you could ride and watch yourself on a TV in front of you as you pulled on the reigns. She liked that as well as the flying seat that you pedal on to take yourself spinning to the top. We had originally planned to take Katherine to the Barnum and Bailey Circus for her birthday but she said she'd rather go to Chuck E Cheese instead. I'm sure she'll outgrow that place soon, but seemed to have fun this year! Sorry no pics from there.

She received lots of fun toys and several digital pet games that I'm still trying to figure out how to play but she seems to have gotten the hang of them. My, how technological kids are these days! Thanks to everyone for all the love and kindness you show Katherine! May you be blessed!

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!
