Beautiful day at Beaver Mountain



Bryce & Greg went to Beaver today and took some video of some of their stunts. Again, Tanner had injured himself in Lacrosse and didn't feel like he could spend the day on the mountain. I think he just wanted to sleep in! The snow was good, the sun was shining and they had a great time. Thank goodness neither one of them got injured, even though there were many crashes!

January 26, Family Night Activity



The kids wanted to go bowling for family home evening this week. We had a lot of fun. Christa had more luck bowling upside down and backwards than she did the regular way. She even got a strike this way! Tanner ended up with 11 whopping points, he pretty much just messes around, but he had fun. The rest of us did pretty good, if we could stay out of the gutter.

BAD DAY!

My day turned out to be pretty bad! I went to pick up Bryce at his friend's house and a backhoe backed into me! We were in a culdesac where they were removing a big pile of snow when I tried to back out of a driveway. I watched for him to stop and wait for me to leave, and when I saw him wait I backed out. Obviously he didn't see me, because he stomped on the gas going backwards and I couldn't get out of his way fast enough! Bryce was in the seat next to that door and luckily he hadn't put on his seatbelt yet because he was able to jump out of the way. The shovel on the back of the tractor went right through the window and then popped out the door. Bryce's head would have been clobbered if he hadn't been able to move quickly. It was pretty scary, but we were blessed to be protected. The Smithfield City insurance will pay for our van to be fixed, but in the meantime we have a nice rental van. Later that day, Breeann called to tell me that she had hurt her foot in her dance class. After about 4 hours we decided she should go get it looked at and she found out she had broken it. So, Bryce decided the day should be called Friday the 13th (0nly it was a Thursday).

$8 shopping trip!!


Yesterday I had a great shopping trip to Albertsons! The picture without the milk only cost me $4! As you can see there are 30 Quaker products (6 of each), 6 cans of Hunts Spagetti Sauce, 2 boxes of Orville Redenbacher popcorn, 2 boxes of Healthy Choice dinners, 1 can Pam spray, 2 eggbeaters. Then I went to Smiths and spent $8 more. I got 3 gal milk, 2 doz eggs, 2 sour cream, 6 softsoap, 1 pkg chicken breast. It was very exciting!!

Beaver Mountain


Greg & Bryce went to Beaver Mountain to ski and snowboard last weekend. Tanner had hurt his wrist the previous day so he wasn't able to go. They love to go to "the box" and do tricks.

I am glad that I'm not there when they are jumping like this, I would be too nervous. But I'm greatful I have such a great husband who loves spending time with his kids!

Great shopping day!

Here is my latest shopping deal from Albertsons! I arrived at 6:30 am, spent about 30 min shopping and 2 hours in line to pay. I found out later that by early afternoon they had re-stocked the shelves and the store was empty. So, next time I will go later! I spent $80, saved $318, and bought 90 items. I love coupons!

We have wanted to go to Temple Square during Christmas break but the snow just kept coming and coming! We finally had a break from storms and made it there. It is such a beautiful setting and so peaceful. The evening was quite warm and we all had a great time!
