Paige thought our blog needed more pics of her..so here she is! lol

YEAH!!!

This may sound pathetic, but oh well. Last night Hunter slept through the night for the 1st time in his life!! :) He takes 2 really long naps during the day and then slept through the night. I'm not sure what to do with all this time...oh wait, I think I'll sleep! I have about 2 years worth of sleep to catch up on. :)

Tips from the economically savvy!!

So Matt calls me cheap, but I prefer the term "economically savvy." One of my favorite hobbies is to hunt down deals. If you are interested in the same I have some cool tips for you. My favorite deal website is: www.afullcup.com and has a variety of ideas, coupons and helps. I thought I was frugal, but after going to that website I am nothing compared to some of those women! WOW!! Going out on a date with my husband seems to get so expensive by the time you pay the babysitter. So I like to buy gift certificates to restaurants at www.restaurant.com . There you can buy a $25 gift certificate for only $10 if you have an online coupon code (which I always have) you can purchase them for 40-60% off ($4-5). To get the coupon code you just do a search for online coupon codes and then type in restaurant.com. We just went to a nice steak house, on a date, and our bill would have been almost $60 and we paid $35. Just check it out for yourself. We can normally go to a nice restaurant and get $35 worth of food for about $14-15. I'm always up for a good deal, so if you ever see any send them my way. Oh, 2 more I just thought of. For children's clothing the absolute best place to go (cheaper than a thrift store) is the Children's Place in the Folsom outlets. Everytime I go they have at least 5-10 racks of 99 cent items. I just bought super cute sweaters for Paige for only 99 cents!! Very comfy pj's for 99 cents and some for $1.99!! If you are looking to make some extra money you can join me and sell your unwanted used toys, furniture and kids, teens and maternity clothing at the Just Between Friends sale (www.jbfsale.com). There's a sale coming up in August that I'm going to consign in for the first time. I decided to summer clean and went through all of our kids and baby clothing and just slimmed down the boxes a bit with the clothing items I wasn't too crazy about and I already have lots to sell. That's all for now!

Where has the time gone?!

So I know it has been a long time since I have posted on here, so tonight I thought I would give a little update. After typing a long post (twice) and having my computer crash, I'm about ready to give-up!!! :) I'm going to give it one last try. Paige is seriously the smartest little girl I know (I know that I am a bit bias, but I think it is true). She can hear something once and then commits it to her memory. Her new thing is to use "big" words and ask what they mean. The other day she told me that, "the word Honda means family." I asked where she heard that from and she said from a commercial. The commercial said, "Honda. Honda means family!" She says that , "Honda is the spanish word for family." She just cracks me up! :) Now for Hunter he is quite the dancer. He loves watching So you think you can dance with me. He loves to dance by spinning and then his pelvic thrust. It is quite a hilarious sight. He is still our little man and cute as ever. He is only in the 2% for weight so we are trying to beef him up. At his 1 year check-up he only weighed 18 lbs. 10 oz. He's so adorable and a smart kid too. He is only 13 months old and can now say, "meow, Nana and Papa." He may be small, but he definetely doesn't let anyone pushing him around. He's generally the agressor in most situations. I will post pics soon.
