Jaxon turns 7!!!!!!!!!!!!

After Dylan's baptism on Saturday it was off to Peter Piper Pizza to celebrate Jaxon's B-day. The kids had a good time eating pizza and playing games. Of course Jaxon's favorite part was opening the presents.

Trying to earn tickets from ski ball.

Who's kid is this?

Waiting patiently for presents.
A new bionicle.

A huge Nerf gun.

A new skateboard.

Someone was getting tired of watching Jax open presents.

After all of that fun the boys got a joint present from Grandma and Grandpa B. A new quad!! They were so excited when they saw it. They spent a lot of time out in the pasture riding it. Even the 110 degree temp couldn't keep them off of it. This gift stayed in AZ so the boys can't wait to go back!!

Jax figuring out how to turn.
How do you make this thing go???
This looks like trouble. Watch out here he comes!!!

Dylan's Baptism

Saturday was a busy day for our family. One of the main reasons we went to AZ was for Dylan to get baptized. It was really nice to have our whole family there for the occasion. Dylan was really excited and happy. This was a rare occasion that everyone in my family was in one place at the same time as my brother is in the Navy and is stationed in Japan.

Proud Dad.

Proud mom.

Jealous brother.

Because we had my whole family together we took a rare family photo. We even had my grandpa there from Tucson who is in is mid 90's. Trying to get this many people to smile at the same time is not fun!

Me with my brother's and sister's.

Next was a picture on Brandon's side. Let's just say it was a little easier!

Thanks to everyone for sharing this special day with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun in the Sun in AZ

Well we are in AZ and are having a good time with our family and friends. It's been just a little hot since we have been here. I even have the pictures to prove it.
It's only 11:00 in the morning.
and it's all ready 111 degrees!!! Gotta love AZ.



So to cool off from the heat we have been doing a lot of swimming.







Lucky for us Ally loves the water. She only gets to stay out for a little while we don't want to have her turn into a lobster. I am embarrassed to say she has a better tan than me! Stay tuned for pics of Dylan's baptism and Jax's 7th B-day!!

I've become one of "those" people

O.K. so up until about a month ago I had never used a coupon in my life. Some friends of mine started a "coupon club" so I decided to go and check it out. Let's just say I was really impressed. I found out that you can always get toothpaste and deodorant for free and you can always get cereal for less than a dollar a box!! Crazy -huh- Anyway I have definitely saved A LOT of money this month using coupons. Here's just a few of the deal I have got in the last week.

I got all the stuff below for 12.50. I saved $81.70

I got all of this toothpaste and deodorant for FREE!!! That's a savings of 100%

So now I will never make fun of those people in line who have coupons because I am one of them now!!!
