Life

I really do have great intentions of catching up my blog. Then life comes at me and it's clean the house,laundry to fold, kids to feed, husband to pay attention to and so on. My goal is to catch up. This past week day after day since Tuesday we have had the stomach flue one at a time. That means my sheets have been washed 3 times since then. I have washed 5 loads of towels on the 2hr. sanitary cycle(thank goodness for technology!). We have watched almost every corny Disney movie ever made j.k. but we have watched several in fact High School Musical 3 is playing right now. The funniest is Shane who is the worst sicky, but hasn't gotten it yet(knock on wood) is sanitizing his hands every time I turn around. I feel like that insurance company commercial"Life comes at you fast".I'm sure we will all recover soon and be off on the next adventure.

That's all!

Shane took the kids to the movie so I thought I would use the opportunity to finish my lesson for tomorrow, but here I sit with a sick sleeping baby, and a sleeping 4 year old, and the last thing I want to do is my lesson! I guess I'll blog since I haven't forever! Where to start?
In January Ashton turned 7.

May we took 2 trips to Park City, Karst played baseball, Arleigh turned 11 and had her last childhood birthday party at the Lionhouse in Salt Lake.And yes they spelled her name wrong!

Then I decided the yard was bugging me and created a whole lot of work for my husband! All inlew of the surprise party I threw for him.
Which brings me to June. Shane turned 40 and was very surprised about the party.

It was fun to see his reaction, and so many people we haven't seen for awhile.

Adie turned 1 the next day,she must be number 5 because the poor thing didn't even get a cake! That pretty much sums it up! Nothing to exciting, just life as usual.

Coupons Anyone?

I decided to try my hand at the whole couponing thing and I really can't believe the amount of money I am saving! I went to Albertsons thids week and spent $102 and saved $314. I can't get enough I think it's my new hobby. I am a geek for sure, in case anyone wondered. So I am off to clip my coupons.

Finally!

Shane decided to start a new e-mail back in February, only he didn't know that he totally messed up my blogger account! How you ask? I have no idea but after hours of trying to figure it out, 2 months later here I am! Alot has happened in the months that I haven't posted so buckle up and get ready for some lengthy posts. But not today reclaiming this blog has wiped me out!

Where to start?

I have been such a slacker. Christmas was awesome, and the best part is it is over.We did our traditional gingerbread house which is always so fun.
Then of course the ward party with Santa.
The best ever was this year I didn't want the 12 yes 12 foot tree up,way to big,but my kids think it's the greatest tree ever. We decided to use one of my mom's trees. First we brought it over and set it up only to realize that was the one she was going to use. Then we got the right one,which hasn't been set up for along time, that was hysterical it was the biggest piece of crap. Somehow they deteriorate in the box, half of the lights didn't work and it was just crappy. My kids,especially Arleigh were very disappointed. Okay more like furious. Shane and I got tons of mileage out of it.Two nights later we stayed up late and put up the 12 footer. They were all very happy.

Christmas morning started at 4:30, way to early.
Later that week we went sledding with friends then had a fondue party on New Years.
