The Whole Family Afterwards :)

I have been such a slacker!

I'm going to try and do some major catching up the next few days! Forgive me?

School Pictures....

Really, the only reason I buy school pictures is so the kids can have the class portrait. Is still like looking at mine.

Anyways, here they are.

Baylee is in 3rd grade this year, and Dallin is in 5th.

VES Annual "Cross Country" Meet

Dallin takes after me. He doesn't like to run. He only does it when he has to :)
He came in somewhere between 9th and 13th. We weren't sure.


Baylee on the other hand took 5th. Looks like she may have gotten her father's athletic gene.

My new favorite hobby.....

Is bargain shopping. I went to Albertsons twice today. Here are my two trips:


This one was $76.24 total before my coupons and card discounts.
I paid $6.40


I didn't figure out the "before coupons and card discount" price on this one.
But I only paid $0.90 (yep, 90 cents!)

I feel like Queen Bargain!
Yay!
These were done with several transactions and the help of my kids and 2 cousins. :)

MARCH in Collage

I tell them "NO", "No way you are moving the trampoline over the cement so that you can play basketball. It's too dangerous."
So they ask their dad instead. He not only agrees, but joins them. Nice.


The scary piggies (Never doing pigs again. They are creepy!)
Whitey, Max and Doodle...the roosters. And the cats, Fuzzy and Frankie.



The men getting ready for spring by cleaning up the yard and the pasture.

Another cool giveaway....

Very Inspirational Quote.....

Make up your mind to be happy-even when you don’t have money, even when you don’t have a clear complexion, even when you don’t have the Nobel Prize. Some of the happiest people I know have none of these things the world insists are necessary for satisfaction and joy. Why are they happy? I suppose it is because they don’t listen very well. Or they listen too well-to the things their hearts tell them. They glory in the beauty of the earth. They glory in the rivers and the canyons and the call of the meadowlark. They glory in the love of their families, the stumbling steps of a toddler, the wise and tender smile of the elderly. They glory in honest labor. They glory in the scriptures. They glory in the presence of the Holy Ghost. One thing I know for certain: the time we have here goes by far too quickly. Don’t waste any more time sitting on the bench watching life pass you by.
