For those in search of a good deal!

For enrichment the this month they went over ways to save a buck on groceries. I was skeptical at first and decided that I would pay the extra money to save me time on searching for the best deal on squash until they walked us through this website. I was so impressed that I have to share it with those who are in search of a good deal---and are too lazy to hunt around for it. It is called grocerysmarts.com here is the link:
http://www.grocerysmarts.com/utah/lists/splashg84csk.php.
This directs you to the grocery deals in utah, but you can pick any state and get your information. You click on what grocery store you want to shop in, and---this is the best part---it tells you what items are on sale and how good of a sale they are with a 5 star rating system. Sometimes you need coupons to get the deal but they are found in the sunday paper or provide a link to print off the coupon and the great thing about it is the website tells you when it is the best time to use the coupons. I have even got things for free by using this website! Simple enough. Just wanted to share the good news. Happy grocery shopping!

He's here!!!

Welcome Sweet Baby!

8 pounds, 20 inches
After 10 weeks of bedrest for preterm labor and 8 hours of labor, out little guy is finally here. It's amazing how much you can love someone in a matter of moments. In my opinion he is the cutest baby boy I've ever seen!





The Before . . .









. . . the after!






I feel great! Labor was a little rough because my epidural wore off for the last 20 minutes or so, but I love not being in preterm labor anymore and feel so much better now that he's in our arms. John and I feel so blessed to have a healthy baby. We were lucky for the first week I had to set my alarm to wake him for feeding, but since then he has caught on and we have had a couple sleepless nights. Oh, the joys of parenthood.

Here I am, love me!

Don’t you love my platinum blonde hair, I have plenty to spare! After my first bath, mommy and daddy had to blow dry my hair.




I was a ghost for Halloween! Do I look scary or what?















I love my new home!
