What?

So the last few weeks we have been rushing out the door to get to school on time. I know we should just wake up earlier but I just don't want to! This morning was no different, I rushed to the car with Blake in my arms and buckled him in. I heard Kayla get in and shut the door so off we went. I got to the first stop sign and checked right and left and right, wait a minute something is not right. Where is Elizabeth? I was in such a hurry I forgot Elizabeth. Ha ha I laughed all the way home and when I opened the garage there she was looking at me stunned that I would forget her. I think I am losing my mind.

Welcome Home Claaaaaark

UPDATED ON THE BOTTOM OF POST!!!!!

My youngest brother Clark returned home from serving a mission in South Korea yesterday and we were all very excited to see him! My mom couldn't even wait twenty seconds for him to pass the TSA check point and rushed to him. She got yelled at by the TSA agent but luckily she was not arrested or body searched for any terrorism weapons.

We met Jared at Bass Pro and drove together to the airport. The arrival board kept on posting the plane was going to be 15 minutes early and I was nervous we might miss his arrival but luckily we got there a few minutes before he did. Apparently when Blake saw Grandma run to Clark he thought he should also. Clark being gone for two years had no idea who that little kid was, took him a minute to figure it out.

I should do a blog post on everything Blake has broken this year, his most recent was are beloved camera! So of course we had to hurry and rush our next camera purchase since Jared was due to leave on his hunt the next day(next blog post to come if Jared ever gets to it). Well anyways long story short our new camera stinks! All of the pictures I took of Clark in the airport were blurry and unrecognizable so I made him take a few snap shots for me in front of my Grandma Harris's house. That's her in the background I guess she wanted to be in the picture too?.?

Well we are glad you are home and are all anxious to see what happens with your girlfriend/fiance? Danica. You know we have flower girl dresses already right? :) Update!!!! Clark popped the question the night I wrote this blog, they are now officially engaged and planning on a wedding in February. Congratulations guys. :)

Blake

Looking at these pictures I took today of Blake I can't believe at how old he looks. He is growing up so fast. Grandma Harris bought him this cute new outfit for church and I thought I would take his picture and post it up for her to see . He loves taking pictures, he always wants to see every picture I take right after the flash goes off. He was even saying "cheese" for me. :)




Jared has been in an electronic phase and has been programming a microchip to read the temperatures of the meats he is smoking in his smoker. Anyways long story short he has been looking into different robots for fun and has made Blake obsessed with robots. Jared bought him the yellow robot in the picture, so he would stop playing with the more expensive one he bought the other day.
Blake loves to play with it and will say in a robot voice, " I am a robot". The robot runs out of batteries fairly quickly since Blake never turns it off. Anyways to get Blake to try to use the toilet yesterday we kept bribing him with candy and he wouldn't even try, well Jared said, " I will put batteries in your robot if you go poo on the toilet." Blake quickly ran to his toilet and a few minutes later squeezed out a tiny poo. I know kinda gross but super exciting, I guess we know his weakness now. He even sat through all of Sacrament meeting today because he had his robot and when he was getting a little loud making his robot noises Jared helped him put Robot to "sleep" and they covered him with a book. My boys are just too cute. :)

Target trip

I just got home from a very successful Target shopping trip with just a few little hiccups. Target is pain to use coupons at but after a few calls to the managers the cashier was able to punch through ten of my coupons that weren't registering!
Anyways I got
10 glade candle tins
10 glade candle refills (Christmas presents for church people and teachers)
6 Wii games (Christmas presents for hubby and kids)
6 bags of Halloween candy ( I am putting it up high in my closet, hopefully it will last until next year).

Total was $53! I saved $134.77, plus for buying the Glade candles I got back $20 in Target Gift Cards!

I love coupons!

Pics for the Grandmas

This Halloween we kept it low key. Since I feel like I am always trying to save money with all of my coupon shopping I decided we weren't going to be buying costumes this year. Elizabeth went as hunter using things we already had.




Blake went as Bob the Builder. I had got the hat and tool belt online earlier this year when it was on clearance. I thought it was cuter than anything I saw at the store anyways. I don't know what is up with Blake and this funny smile but he does it a lot.

Kayla wanted to be a vampire nurse this year. Luckily Angie had this nurse outfit already and I never ended up getting the vampire teeth :( So she had to go just as a nurse.

On Halloween we always visit My Grandma Harris (Mimi) and My Grandpa Booth. This is a picture of my Grandma and my nephew Wesley (Rich and Liz new little man). Isn't he such a cute froggy?
After visiting my grandparents and my aunt Gail we headed home and sat outside and passed out candy with my Uncle Mike. We didn't do much trick or treating this year. We had the ward Trunk or Treat Friday night and all the non chocolate candy we got from there I handed out to the kids that came to our house. :) Yay no half eaten suckers on my carpet this year!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is coming

Halloween is coming!

A man is walking home alone late one foggy night...

When behind him he hears:

Bump...
BUMP....
BUMP...

Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...

Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him

FASTER...
FASTER...
FASTER...

BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...

He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him..
However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping
Clappity-BUMP...
Clappity-BUMP....
Clappity-BUMP ...

On his heels, the terrified man runs.
Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, the man locks himself in.
His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.

With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door.
Bumping and clapping toward him.
The man screams and reaches for something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup!
Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket...

And,





The coffin stops

Let me know if you want it

Well this week the Old Navy site did not do a $75 off $100. I did win a $25 off $100 coupon, not that great but if you would like it just leave a comment and I will email it to you. First to leave the comment gets it. I totally understand if no one wants it though. :)
