I am SOOOO addicted!!!

So, a lot of you know that I have been "couponing" but most don't know how bad it's gotten....I went to Target TWICE this week! (yeah, I used to never go) Anyway, this is the first trip I made and I got all this stuff for just .56 cents!! No joke! I do my research on line and print up all the coupons that can make it happen, cut the ones from the newspaper and Viola!!! Free stuff for me! If anyone wants to come over, I am MORE then happy to go through it with you and take you on one of my trips (my second trip cost me .33 cents, and I have a witness) just let me know! I work two jobs and raise two boys AND take care of the household so if I have time to do it, you do too!!

New hair!

Sitting here, kids are finally snuggled in and the house is ready for Sunday-NOW I have time to show off my new look! Ahhh! Isn't it AWESOME?? Sherry (my sis-in-law) cut and colored it and did an amazing job--honestly, I don't think I've had a cuter hair cut/color...really. Sherry, you are gonna rack up the clients and have a great career...you really do a great job, thank you so much!!!

A perfect day...

I don't have any pictures, but Matt and I finally had a day off TOGETHER and were able to just hang out and enjoy our family. We took the boys to Tempe Beach Park--this is really sad, but I'm going to admit that Hewson has been there ONCE, when he was 2!! Yeah, so, needless to say, it was time to go again....they had a blast and it absolutely wore them out (we are going again tomorrow). That night we had KC and Sherry over for a movie, popcorn and rootbeer sundae's (made the rootbeer sauce ourselves). It was tons of fun, especially since we had not seen them in such a long time....unfortunately I had to work all day the next day, and Matt had to work that night so I took the oppurtunity to take the boys on a "date" to thier favorite place--Cracker Barrel. They ate tons (it's always nice when I don't have to cook), got a treat and looked at all the fun toys! That was a first for me, I had never taken the boys out by myself and I must say, it was a LOT of fun...the things these kids say and think about absolutely amaze and amuse me....like I always say, I can't see myself with another infant, but can't NOT see myself without another 2 year old! Crazy, I know, because most mom's enjoy the infant stage the most...I never said I was sane though....

Happy Birthday to ME

I am officially 28...wierd. 28 just seems too MATURE for how I feel...like in High School when you are a Freshman and the Seniors seem so cool and old, then you become a Senior and nothing is really different...ANYWAY, this is my biological dad who I have not seen since High School graduation and he has never met the boys (he goes by K-Pa). He took my family and I to Las Vegas for a weekend. We had a blast just hanging out together and site seeing--there is NEVER a slow or boring moment in Vegas--and the pools are AMAZING.

We were running low on moolah and needed dinner so we figured it would be cheaper to order pizza...look at the size of this thing!! 24" !! It was so good, and such a good deal...we had it for dinner, midnight snack, AND breakfast!

Here is the Nascar stationed on the 4th floor of M&M World--as you can imagine, the children enjoyed that place :) And for those who don't know, Hewson is a HUGE Nascar fan so this was such a treat! I don't know HOW I managed walking out of there spending only $20!

We went to the Bellagio the first night and actually got to see the infamous fountian dance! This is my third time to Vegas and my first to catch the fountian....it was so much fun, and absolutely beautiful...and they pick some really good songs that it "dances" to :)

We got there and needed food right away...so we checked in, dropped off our stuff, went out and went to the first place we saw...it happened to be ESPN Zone...go figure. It was actually REALLY nice, the food was good and the boys sat still the whole time! They had 2 wall floor to ceiling TV's where we watched Travis Pastrana do a "sick trick" as Hewson calls it....a great way to start the weekend!

Although we were not yet tall enough to actually ride the SpongeBob ride (yeah, I know...whatever) they did have a whole huge arcade on the lower floor of the hotel, so we were there quite a bit. It was a great little getaway, and it was nice to see my dad and let him hang out with the boys...they had play time the whole weekend!! Now it's back to the good 'ol backyard :)
