Here we go again!

Well here we go again! Number 4 is on its way! Wow that's alot of kids. I am due May 5th, so I am 8 weeks. We went to the doctor last week and I thought for sure I was having twins or I was further along. But there is just one in there and I am right on schedule. I am showing so much. Even at 5 weeks you could tell. Oh well I'm just going to be getting bigger and bigger. I have been so sick and so tired. Maybe because it's my 4th, but its kicking my butt. I hear each pregnancy gets harder, but I don't like to think about that right now. Anyways, that's our big news right now.

Coupons! Coupons! Coupons!

Yes, I have started clipping coupons! I have been hearing all these stories about people saving all this money, and so I was interested. I have tried to cut back in all my other shopping areas, and groceries were the only thing that I didn't think I could. But let me tell you, you can! Let me tell you about what I got last week. I spent $16 at Albertsons and I got stocked up on cleaning supplies. I got 4 bottles of Pine-Sol, 6 bottles of 409 cleaner, and 5 tubs of Clorox disinfecting wipes! It was alot of cleaner and I was pretty impressed with my self. This week I am getting the bags of Malt-o-meal cereal for $.25 a bag! That's right $.25. I can't even believe this stuff. i get so excited saving money. I used to get so excited spending money, but hey, times have changed! If you are interested the website I use is www.grocerysmarts.com and you have to have a passport and it is g84roc! Let me know how much money you save!

Taylee's Crush!

We went to Lake Powell this summer with 5 other couples. The owner of the houseboat's son brought along 3 friends. They are all 13 I think and are in 8th grade. Anyways, they are really cute kids. On the trip you would have thought that Taylee turned 13! She was so boy crazy, like I have never seen before! Even for our family pictures on Monday, to get her to smile we would say Hayden's name. Another one of the boys she likes lives just down the street and she draws pictures for him and we HAVE to take them over to his house. Here is a picture of 2 of the boys that Taylee was crushin on from Lake Powell, Hayden is in the white t-shirt and Braxton, our friends son is in the blue shirt. They came by our house today, but Taylee wasn't home. They are such good sports to this insane little 4 year old!


Family Pictures

On Monday night we went and had our family pictures taken. We have not done that since I was pregnant with Porter, so it was time! Veronica Reeve took them and she did a fabulous job. We took them in downtown Ogden on historic 25th street and the train station. I did not know all the cool alleys and great shops down there. Usually getting pictures is nightmare, but it was actually a really good time. There were no awkward poses, it was all very natural and I could not be more pleased. I gotta thank my friend Nicole for referring me, thanks, and I'll make sure you get your free picture from her. If you want to see some of the pictures she took of our family go to http://www.veronicareeve.blogspot.com/. I would put them on my blog but I have been trying for an hour now and it is not working, so you'll have to go to her blog!

Taylee says the darnest things!

I am going to start writing down some of the funny things my kids say. Mostly for myself, so I can remember them. Today I asked Taylee who she played with at school and this was her response, "Pretty much just some hot girls. They were really pretty." What? I don't know where she came from. Jared says we should be glad that she hangs out with the hot ones and not the ugly ones! She is going to be the death of me I already know.

Computer Issues

Well I haven't been able to post any pictures of all the happenings in our life. My computer is apparently out of memory and so I can't download any pictures. Who knew I could fill up a computer. Anyways, I am pretty bummed because I have some cutes ones. I'll have to play "catch up" when I get a new computer. We have been looking around and talking to people about how much memory and ram we need, but I still have no idea. I don't want to have to pay a fortune, but I don't want this to happen again either. So if any of you have recommendations, I need some advice. I don't know what to get.
Kambree and Taylee have both started school. Kam's in the 4th grade and Taylee's in pre-school. It is heaven! I hate saying that, but sometimes it's nice for the the fighting to stop. Kam's busy most nights with soccer and Taylee will be starting soon. I am an offical "soccer mom". The back of our car is filled with chairs, quilts, and umbrellas. It's fun though. Kambree plays for La Roca which is a comp team. And they play alot of soccer and she loves every minute of it. Well that's about it. Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures soon!
