Crazy Moments

This past week we stayed pretty busy cleaning the house, and then making messes, going to the movies, playing at the parks. But I think the craziest moments happened to be when I decided to take 5 of my kids (Tasha was at girls camp) to American Lake by myself. They had a blast and we will defiantly go again. The water was warm and what seals the deal with me is they have lifegaurds on duty.

Cody thought he would even take on climbing a mountain while we were there as you can see he was able to reach the top.
Callie is always surprising me. You would think as a mother you would check your kids thoroghly before they hop into the car to make sure they are fully dressed and match. Well let's just say there have been several occasions where my children have not been fully dressed, clothes don't match and even shoes not matching.

(look closely at Callie's feet)

Friday we picked cherries and what do you do with this many cherries?
Make ice cream!!!


This is our great friend Jashon (I hope I spelled his name right) he helped me through out the process. He helped pick, chop,whip and even keeping watch over the product so that no one walked away with it. And that was just a little part of our crazy week. It's times like these that make life enjoyable.

Fun!!! You should pick me some cherries and make ice cream for the reunion. You are brave going swimming with 5 kids. Your five kids are perfect so it makes it sound more daring then I'm sure it actually was.

Cherry ice cream, what a sweet idea! I just made freezer jam out of the gargantuan amount of raspberries I bought.

I can't believe how big your kids are getting, and Jashon - wow, he looks tall in that picture.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann...

My last trip to Albertson's turned out to be the best! Yes, I know you are sick of me posting about shopping but I had a few of you ask.. How I do it? I ended up spending $1.77 for what you see in the picture. You ask how? Albertson's Ad had two double coupon certificates in their ad where they would double up to 3 manufacture coupons per certificate. There are a few sites I continuously go to print off coupons they are... Betty Crocker Coupon Cat Pillsbury Albertson's had a sale when you bought $30 worth of certain items you would get 3 $5 dollar coupons for your next purchase. I grouped all my coupons together to try to get the best deal I could. The first time I purchased it actually cost me $17 something but I had $15 for a next purchase. The trick was to get 6 $1 coupons which equaled $12 +$15=$27 ....out of pocket=$3 and then 3 more $5 coupons would print out and you beg your neighbor friends or anyone you can for more double coupons and go back I pretty much lived ...

Yesterday we had the Opportunity to meet the Author of FableHaven and CandyShop Wars Brandon Mull. When he got there he answered questions and was very personable. Then he started signing books and individually answered questions. He also had a few questions for us. He also signed posters for all the kids. (I have no idea what were going to do with 6 posters) (Maybe with the underlining message my kids will enjoy reading) The line was longer than we expected but we were there pretty early and had a chance to be 4th or 5th in line. (if my kids would have just got in line while I was taking kids potty) (I'm glad we got there when we did) Overall a great family (education) moment. (Yes, Mom I got your copy signed as well)
