Just some random photos off of the camera
He's a little suspicious of that lens cap on my knee apparently :)
Taking a little rest after all that vacuuming :)
Such a sweetheart :)
On a walk in Walla Walla :)
(Sorry about my lens hood somehow making an appearance in a few photos!)
Jack helping the nice horse with his congestion problem :)
The smile on his face says it all if you can see it :)
Sittin' on Mauser's bed, reading a book :)
Riding his tractor and playing in the drawers :)
Such a ham :)
Jack is always a happy boy when Daddy gets home from work :)So I have been trying to get started with the whole coupon game. Most weeks I can save an average of $10 on grocery shopping, which is nice, but isn't all that great. The last couple weeks I have done great though! I am pretty excited about how much I have saved and how much I have been able to get for nearly nothing, so I just have to post once about it!! :)
Last week I shopped at RiteAid and Albertsons and was able to get $88.97 worth of stuff for only $34.47...that's a savings of $54.50!!!
Today I shopped at Target and Albertsons and was able to get $70.44 worth of stuff for only $14.88...that's a savings of $55.56!!!
I took pictures of my trips today so you can see what all I was able to get...
This was from my Target trip.
This was Albertsons.Ben and I both transferred all of our pictures from our cell phones to the computer...there were photos from when we were still living in TriCities clear up through a couple days ago! :) I sorted through some and found some cute recent pictures of Jack that I though were blog-worthy :)
Showin' Dad his toes :)
With Daddy at work :)
We had waffles and eggs for dinner...he really liked the syrup, both in his tummy AND his hair :)
This was Jack's first ER visit back in June. Middle of the night and a bad case of croupe...think we would have a grumpy boy??? Nope :)
Enjoying his breathing treatment :)
He is SUCH a GOOBER!! :)
LOVES his John Deere tractor :)
Trying to cut 4 teeth at Fred & Dana's wedding...crashed :(
That would be Mauser's toy basket. Jack climbed in and, about 2 seconds after this photo, fell out :) Thought it was funny the whole time thoughI am SO sorry that is has been nearly 2 months since I have put anything new up!!! The last month and a half has been pretty crazy for us, from family weddings, (congrats Fred and Dana) :) to battling with wall paper border from 1972, painting, fixing and cleaning our new home (thanks to everyone who helped us out!!) and trying to get all of our stuff sorted out in the new place!! Whew! With Jack being almost 11 months old and EVERYWHERE it is a little difficult to get much done :) Plus, he is just so much fun to play with!!
I am almost positive that I have some super cute pictures on my camera, but the batteries are dead (and I have no clue where new batteries ended up after the move) and I'm not sure where the transfer cord is. Goodness! :)
I did find a disc of pictures that I had developed about a month ago so in the world of Jack, they are a little outdated, but still cute of course :) I figured I should take a few minutes today while Jack was napping and put them on the blog and apologize for slacking so much with it lately. Soon, all will settle back down and I will be able to get back to it (I will have a walking baby who is already a climber though, so I'm not promising anything!!) :) Enjoy these, though...he sure is growing fast!!
This picture captures how much of Ben's personality he has :)
Hangin' out with Mauser outside (kind of) :)
Sharing some Cheerios with Mauser
Shirtless! :)
We still don't make it a day without a hand in the dog's water...more recently his favorite has been to take his alphabet magnets off of the fridge and put them into the water bowl...just a little treat for Mauser I guess :)Well after having our offer on the only house we found that we loved for almost 8 months, we have finally signed papers and have keys!!! We learned a great lesson in patience and also that we hope we don't have to move for quite a while! :) The house needs some updating and some TLC. We have some work ahead of us, but we know it will be beautiful once it's finished (it's already pretty on the outside) :) We fell in love with the neighborhood and are so excited to have found such a wonderful place to raise our kids. Will post more photos as we get the place clean and painted.
I have really been slacking on updating the blog and I'm sorry! I know there are a few people in Hermiston and in Prosser who really look forward to updates...sorry guys! :) Here are a few pictures from a couple weeks ago. I have a couple videos to get on here, too, but they take quite a while to load, so I will work on that another day. Enjoy :)
Relaxing with a snack and his Baby Signs DVD (he loves that thing!)
Silly boy :)
Passed out with his bunny :)
Cuddling
Blackberries made for a messy breakfast, but it's pretty obvious he enjoyed them :)
Blue eyes...
'mmmmm......' :)So Jack's latest fascination is Mauser's water bowl. He liked the food bowl first, but then he realized what was on the other side of that bowl and how much fun it could be! :) He sure is a persistent little guy, too! We aren't going to just put the bowls up, because no one benefits from that. We probably spend a good 30 minutes a day (total) next to that bowl moving his hands away and telling him no, then actually moving HIM into the other room with his toys only to watch him turn right around and head back for that darn bowl! :) I was doing dishes yesterday and just had to take a break from all of the "no-no's" to get some pictures and a video of this...and I'm glad I did :)
I snuck around the corner...he's got that "oh man" look :)
"No, Mom...I wasn't in the water...!" :)
You can kind of see the puddle on the floor...the whole front of his outfit was soaked :)
I love the water movement in this one :)
