A 2011 update. It's about time.

Wow. It has been a long time since I've been on here. Is anybody out there still reading this thing? If so, your patience is rewarded today with an updated post.

Since I've posted, I turned 32! Thanks to my friend, Lisa, for the awesome cake and for hosting a gathering in my honor. :)

The girls had their faces painted at the carnival this year, thanks to Grandma & PaPa!

Lauryn celebrated her 4th birthday with a donut.

And a Rapunzel costume.

Kaylee enjoyed Crazy Hair Day at school during homecoming week!

We Are Still Alive and Well!

Already?!?

Guess where my child is right now. School. She's been counting down the days for a while now. And here it is. Today. This day. Right now. I'll admit to tearing up a bit while walking out to the parking lot. I had just left her. With strangers (mostly.) For the whole day. BUT... she's super excited. She already made her first friend. She and her new Scooby Doo lunch box will be just fine.

What We've Been Up To...

We've been having fun this summer! I have some cute videos to get on here soon too!

$0.30 Waffles!

I just got Eggo waffles at Target today for $0.30/box. Here's how: In the 2-day sale section of the HyVee ad for the week, Eggo waffles are on sale 5 boxes for $4.00. That's only $0.80/box, which is already a great deal. At www.coupons.com you can print a coupon for $1.00/2 boxes of Eggo waffles, good at Target only. So, take your HyVee ad to Target today and price match the waffles. Then use your coupon to get them for only $0.30 each! Yeah for great deals! Important note: Today is the last day the HyVee sale is good so get there quick!

Picture Post

Just a few random pictures to show what we've been up to in the past couple months. We went to G-town for Easter, and the kids had a blast at the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Then at the end of April, Kaylee graduated from Cubbies. She finished her 2nd book, and next year she'll be a Spark! She's not sure she wants to do that, but hey, that's what kindergarteners do.

Fire-women in the making

A couple weekends ago, our friend Gideon celebrated his 3rd birthday with a party at the fire station. I didn't know you could have a party there, but apparently when your Poppy is retired from the volunteer fire department, you can do whatever you want. Gideon's Poppy gave us a tour of the ambulance and fire trucks and even let the kids sit inside. They had a blast (and I thought it was pretty cool too!) Thanks to Kim for the pictures - and the fun!
