Cole favorite Holiday!!!

Sometimes I feel I am too strict with my kids or way to hard on them. But I just want them to be good kids. Travis and I want to raise them up the way God wants us to. Yesterday , I got a great sign that we were doing something right. Cole comes home every Monday or Tuesday with his work he has done the week before. I normally just scan through it and throw it away. I saw one paper that said "My favorite Holiday". I stop and read it. This is what it said.

My Favorite Holiday
I have two favorite Holidays. My first favorite holiday is Easter. Easter is my favorite holiday because it is the time Jesus rose from the dead three days later. My second favorite holiday is Christmas. I like it because Jesus was born. I like these holidays because it involves Jesus..

I just wanted to share...

Thank God for triple coupons!!!

OK I made one last run last night to Harris Teeters before the triple coupons were over for the month. This time I bought $160 for about $41.. We are stocked up for the month I believe...
I totaled everything up from both trips, and I bought right at $400 worth for about $100!!! I think I am hooked!

What can you buy for $59.00!!!

Thanks to Maria I have learned how to coupon shop!!! Look at the above pictures to see what I got for $59.

I just had to throw this one in!! I have never been to a grocery store that had 3 levels.. I thought it was funny.

Happy 11th Birthday Megan

Travis and I decided that on our kids birthdays we would have a family dinner together and we would give them our gift on their birthday.. Megan decided for her B-day dinner she wanted Hamburgers, hot dogs and fried taters.. I will have to say it was great.. Instead of a cake she wanted brownies with ice cream.. Below is a new pair of crazy socks she bought herself. She is all about some crazy looking socks.. That is one thing I love about her is she likes to just be herself...
Happy B-day to you !!!

Ok, now about her gift this year. Megan has been asking and asking for a cell phone. Travis and I have been totally against it.. But the past couple of months we have notice that she really does need a phone at times. Mostly when she is at church on Wednesday nights or at ball practice & Cole & Key are practicing at the same time. She is in the youth now and they get out of service at different times. She had to walk around last week until we got back to church. We have small group on Wednesday off site.. So there was not way for to get in touch with us. Needless to say Travis and I both thought it was time for a phone. But with a phone there comes rules..

She had no idea that this was what she was getting.. She does not have it yet because we had to order the phones through Travis' work to get the discount...

She was very happy....I will have to say it was one good Birthday....

Keyleigh is going to school!!

We went to Keyleigh's open house last night. I think that is when it hit me our baby is growing up. Cole acting silly in the picture below...I did not know he was doing that until I down loaded the pictures this morning.. Here we are waiting to see who her teacher is..
She got Mrs. Morris, a new teacher at East Cheatham..
Keyleigh is so excited but she was a little scared.. She looked up at me and said don't leave me. There is alot of boys in her class she is not sure about them.. LOL.

We woke up this morning and took a picture. I know she is in the same outfit she wore last night to open house but we had a hard time getting her to go to bed. And as you can see she is in the bed with us... We are still working on this. She was not in it when we went to bed last night.

She was excited... Travis told me that she went into class and started playing with the other children.. She didn't even cry.. I guess I did more of that myself.. She is going to do great..
