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...

Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus...Contemporary style

Yesterday I went to the store for a few things and ended up buying a Nativity set and displayed it in the house. Of course, it wasn't long before the kids found it and started playing with the pieces. Matthew ran around saying "Baby Jesus!...I love you baby Jesus!" and then Katherine wanted to pretend that Christopher was baby Jesus. So a few towels, headbands, and bathrobes later, this is the outcome:) Katherine praying over her newly born baby Jesus- Katherine and baby Jesus so excited and filled with joy- Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus in the stable (yes, with a Christmas tree in the background)- Luke 2:14 "And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth."

Our trip to Sea World, San Antonio!

This past weekend, Daniel's company provided a fun family day at Sea World in San Antonio. The kids always love going there and it's a fun day for us too. It was super hot that day, but thank goodness for the shaded shows!! We got to start off the day with a yummy lunch at the Pavilion and they had prize drawings and special animals brought in for the kids to see, such as a giant lizard, a lemur, a baby alligator, and a baby flaming. We also got a visit from Shamu, who Christopher was SURE to stay away from (as you can see he's nowhere to be found in the picture:) Matthew petting the giant lizard:) The baby flamingo followed his trainer everywhere and would hide underneath his legs, like he does his mommy:) Aww.... The lemur... After lunch, we went on a "Behind the scenes" tour where we got to go visit several of the animals closer up and see what all goes on every day. It was a LOT of walking and very hot, but I think the kids enjoyed it. Here's a pictur...
