Back to School Time

The kids went Back to School last Wednesday. I can't believe how fast the summer flew by. The house is pretty quiet with them gone. It is just me and little Chaser. They are all doing well so far. I was a little nervous for Garrett, because he started Junior High this year, but he seems to like it. He got his locker figured out, and can make it to all his classes on time. He comes home and tells me about the things he's done in his classes. I like hearing about his day. Brody loves his teacher, which makes him excited to go to school. And Adri seems to enjoy going all day. She loves to learn. Our little Chase starts Pre-school on Monday. I think he is going to like it. I know there will be a few tears from me, when we put him on the bus. It is so fun to watch our kids learn and grow.

I am a Couponing Addict

I started couponing about 2 and a half years ago, and I just love all the good deals I can get. It has saved our family so much money, and has helped build our food storage up. I love all the free stuff. Anyway here is a picture of all the goodies I got today at Albies. I got 35 items for around $25.00. Gotta love it!

Wow! How Time Flies

I can't believe how fast the summer has flown by. It seems like the kids just got out of school(kindof) I can't believe they start school in a week and a half. I am ready for it though because it seems like they have been fighting alot the last couple of weeks. It is driving me crazy. We have done some fun things this summer though. Garrett went to Scout Camp for a week,(it was so quiet with him gone) I think he had a fun time being away from home. He earned some Merit Badges, and got to eat all day without his mom bugging him. Last weekend we went to Lava Hot Springs with my mom and dad, and all my brothers and sisters, and all the kids. We had a fun time being together. Chase had his last day of playgroup, because he is starting preschool in a few weeks. It will be the first time, I have all my kids gone at once. He gets to ride a little bus, I know I will probably cry the first day, I put my baby on the bus. Hopefully, I can use the free time to catch up on projects I've been meaning to do. Anyway here is hoping for a great year!
