Staying home

Complaining becaucse of morning sickness brings feelings of guilt.

So many women in this world have it harder than me, I should feel grateful that I can have children.


I guess rejoicing about morning sickness is the last thing I think to do.

But then I met Stephanie. I learned her story and thought wow look how lucky she is. But then I was wrong I am lucky too! Click on her name and please watch this short clip, it changed my life and my day.

 Funny story while at graduation I actually got sick and had to leave. I didn't know what to do, during basketball games you can easily see when a player leaves  the floor and that was not my goal. Luckily I was sitting at the end of an row. This time came and I took off my rob and hat, shoes in hand I bolted. I hoped I would make it to the bathroom and I did. I made it back in time to walk too! I am so greatful school is done! With a week off work I am resting and enjoying life. Sadly I wish there were more good movies out to watch. But instead I watch Stephanie's movie on lds.org for the third time and cry again.

Deal of the YEAR!

I just bought cereal for .40 a box! And it wasn't the western family style it was the real captain crunch. In the adds this last weeks ads I noticed that captain crunch was on sale along with other general mills oatmeal and granola bars for $1 a box a Smith's. I took the three dollar off general mills coupon from the Macy's and Fresh Market ads and went on over to Smith's. They gladly took my coupon and I bought my boxes of cereal for .40 each.

We will be heading back later this week to stock up on granola bars and oatmeal for out food storage. The best part is that Smith's is prepared as soon as you walk in the store the merchandise is there and well stocked but the sale ends on Tuesday so get there before then!

If you threw away your ads just head on over to Macy's they have plenty of Ad's for you to take and sometimes they have copies of the coupon at their registers.  The general mills coupon for $3 off when you buy five is on the second page just add that with the Smith's sale and five boxes of oatmeal, cereal and granola bars will only cost you $2 dollars.

Cake Number one

This is my first fondant cake that I have attempted on my own and I loved it! Making it took time but I tried to spread it out over a couple days. Day one bake the cake and freeze it. The reason I freeze my cakes is becuase they are easier to frost! Next Day I but on the buttercream frosting and white fondant. Man making the main color white makes making the cake so much easier. I make my own fonudant so chaning the color takes time and your hands get tierd. I found the cute flowers at Michaels well actually the cookie cutter and loved the three sizes! Lucas made the brown frosting which took a lot of foundant coloring I wanted it darker but it took half the coloring contiaer to get it that dark so we called it good.

This cake is for my Relif Society's party activity. I volunteered to make this girly cake because I love pretty things and a birthday party without a cake isn't much of a birthday party.

I'm getting excited to take a cake decorating class! I found that they teach the same cake class at Love to Cook and  Michaels. So I decided to take it at Michaels because the cost of supplies will be lower and I can save my 40% coupons and use them when taking the class!

Hobby number #1

How often do we go to threw our daily routine of school, work, family, kids and forget to spice up our lives. This last week I asked my husband one hobby that he's always wanted to try, his response scuba diving.

Personally I've wanted to learn the art of cakes! So with the start of  Spring Break I headed on over to Love to Cook and found out that they have a four week long cake decorating class every Tuesday. The best deal is that it is only $25 for the four classes! You have to buy your own kit which costs $30, but I was sold!

I would love to have a friend to go with. So if this has always been a dream lets do it!

Come Find me

My sisters and I have been doing the values of virtue for the Young Womens Madalian. We've all recieved are award but since being in Young Womens they've added a new value.



Come to my mom's blog to see my post.

Trying something new

Today  we had a fun Monday date that cost us ten dollars. Lucas came with me to my curling class and then we went for a free treat at McDonald. Normally we don't like to go there very often, so many calories. But we found coupon in the statesman newspaper.

 

A  Free Smoothie! 

Before we had our free smothie we went to my Curling Class. I've always wanted to try this sport and needed one more credit this semeter. I convienced Lucas to come with me and try.

It cost $10 for a two hour lesson and after you go once then you can just jump on the ice in teams of four and play. My first time playing I fell often and got a huge bruise on my knee. But today I only fell once! Also I made a point for my team!

Favorite things of the week!

 

Yummy Oreo truffles that I learned from my mom's blog  

 

Making my first french fries I loved them!

 

Taking Oreo truffles to members of our church to bribe them to come to our family history class. It worked!

 

Seeing Nelda jump up on the piano at work. She has been going threw a tough time lately but loves to come eat lunch with us after we close the Skyroom. It makes me happy to see her leave her world of worry for 15 min a day and laugh with me.

 

Beto's with Brittany. She loves to serve others and left a message on my phone asking me if she could help me and come to work with me. I love her.

 

Trying the new Smokin Blues Restaurant and Huckleberry soda. We loved it the food was smoked, we saw the staff go get the meat right out of the smoke box outside. The singers were great and our waiter Patrick made us feel like family.

Most of all our new baby! Hurray tax returns
