Forts and Cookies

So about 2 weeks ago I went out for a girl's night. When I can home I noticed my camera was in a different spot so I decided to see what pictures Johnny took and this is what I was surprised to see.

Too cute! Plus the added bonus was that I never would have been able to tell, because there was no trace of a fort being made.

That week I also got to have Emery over so I thought I would be a totally awesome mom/aunt and have the girls decorate some sugar cookies. Well they had fun but I had to bribe them to come and decorate them. So I was a little disappointed that they weren't more excited but I didn't hear any complaints when they where licking the frosting off those cookies.Oh yeah that is my girl...more sprinkles!!!!

Could be twins

Can you tell who is who?

Lexi or Danielle?

Lexi is the one in the blue and Danielle is the top one. They are looking more and more alike everyday! Thank goodness I have dates on my camera or I wouldn't be able to know who was who later.

December's scrap class

I just finished my pages for December 4th's class. Of course you can change your title.

Wanna come? Leave me a comment if you are interested.

My new addiction

I used to hate, i mean hate grocery shopping. I would go every other week and buy like extra milk and stuff so I wouldn't have to go back. But now this is where I spend lots of my time. What is the change you ask? Couponing!!!

So I am now head over heals into couponing. I love to save money and it is just gives me such a rush when I save a lot of money. I know I'm weird, but hey, I need another hobby right?

So here is one shopping trip. How much do you think I spent at Albertson's?

Drum roll please.............................................$31.25
Um yeah let's see..8 cereals, 3 boxed broths, 4 chex mixes, 4 frostings, 4 cookie mixes, yogurt, 2 steam fresh vegies, flour and 8 frozen dinners. (I figured out at home that she missed 3 coupons so I could have saved about $1.50 more)
I saved $72.21 plus on top of that I got $15 off my next purchase.

Next pruchase....

In case you can't see that, it says I paid $5.75 and saved $56.41, plus another $15 off my next trip. So basically it was like I made money. I love it!!!

I told my friend that if something were to happen that we would be eating a lot of cereal! Good thing I have some powdered milk in my food storage!

A Milestone reached!

We made it back to church this Sunday. I thought that Daddy needed a picture with the girls because they were all matching.
Daddy and Danielle

Te milestone of Lexi holding Danielle. It took four weeks to get this picture, (too bad Danielle looks funny) but I am so happy she finally wanted to hold her. Now every once in awhile she wants to hold her. I am glad she is now accepting her.

What a good big sister! The other day we were at a friends house and Danielle was in her car seat and another little girl was looking at her and playing with her car seat. Lexi came over and grab the car seat and said "My Danielle" She is always asking if Danielle is poopy or where she is if she can't see her. She also gets really mad when Danielle is crying. She says "stop baby!" That is probably because she gets in trouble when she cries like that.

I am so grateful for my little girls and I am excited to see them become good friends.

Disney On Ice

Last Friday I got to go on a mother daughter date with Lexi. We went to Disney on Ice with our good friends Betsy and Ella. Here are the girls getting excited before the show.

We had awesome seats. We were in the 3rd row and on the end so we could see really well. This was Lexi waiting for the show. She was loving the decorations and pictures they had of the different characters.

They had these really cute Tinkerbell hats that came with some cotton candy. It was pretty pricey but it was the cheapest thing you could buy, plus added bonus of the cotton candy. Lexi loved her hat and wore it almost the whole night.

You know when they have you clap to the beat. Here is Lexi trying. I would watch her and try to clap too but I couldn't keep on beat with everyone else because she was so off beat.

My camera isn't the greatest but just shows how good our seats were.

Lexi loved the whole show but she got the most excited when Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald came out.

I was so impressed with the show and the costumes. My favorite costume was Ursula's. It was so big and spot on.

It was a great show and the girls had so much fun. I would definitely go again soon. My favorite part was watching the girl's excitement over every thing. I spent most of my time watching Lexi's face than the show.

Halloween 2009

We had a great Halloween this year. Can you guess what Lexi was for Halloween? Yep a Care Bear! What else could she possibly be this year. Thanks to Betsy for letting us borrow your costume.

I am not going to lie, I was pretty worried about getting her in her costume this year. That was due to the fact that she is just getting out of the naked stage. It wasn't easy but she did get it on. There was a lot of struggle until finally we got to the whole give me candy part then she could of been wearing anything at that point without a fuss.
My little bunny! I loved the little feet. She stayed very very warm. So warm she was sweating.

Lexi with her best friends at Trunk or Treat

I got to walk the girls around and Lexi was good to say trick or treat to about the first 10 cars then it was just hold my pumpkin out and you will give me a treat. Smart girl!!! I was surprised about some of the cars that she walked up to because some of them were pretty scary looking.

Notice that Funshine Bear is trick or treating too?

On Halloween night we went to the in-laws and the girls went door to door with their dad's and grandpa.Need a rabbit's foot because I think this bunny might be dead or it sure looks like it.

I am glad I just had a baby so all this candy that is going into my tummy can be blamed on having a baby. I think I will wait until after the holidays to stop using that excuse.
